Miley Cyrus, the Disney Channel mainstay, has been booked to host the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards.

“If I had to guess, I’m thinking Nickelodeon execs are throwing their hands up and saying, ‘It is what it is,’ ” says a Disney insider. “I think they realize they don’t have a choice. They clearly know this is a show that must showcase the favorites and most popular stars for the kid audience. … We’re proud that kids have clearly said that the Disney stars and shows are (among) their favorites.”

The show tapes on Saturday.

I thought 2008 was going to be the year of celebrity babies, but it may turn out to be the year of celebrity comebacks.

Britney Spears is already taking baby steps toward a real comeback, and now comes news that Lindsay’s signed on to her second film this year. She’ll be playing Nancy Pittman, a member of Charles Manson’s cult, in the upcoming film Manson Girls. Insert your own cult-related joke here.

A source confirms that the production company has insured Lindsay for the film.

Earlier this year, Lindsay signed on to co-star with Jack Black in Ye Olde Times.

There are like 1000 pictures of this girl on every photo service like every day now.

They used to be precious gems.

Dude, she was my C-lister for so long, and now she belongs to the world.

It’s so sad.

And I really want to start obsessing on Taylor Momsen, but she’s only 14, so I have to hold back on that one. Plus the world would just cruelly steal her away from me anyway.

Here’s Blake on the set of her stupid hit show that everyone watches and now everyone knows about her. :(

Chloe Sevigny takes a break from being the Gold Standard of Fashion to attend some manner of sporting event and, ya know, eat popcorn.

In a recent interview with People magazine, the Counting Crows singer opened up about his recent battle with mental illness.

“I’ve been dealing with mental illness,” he says. “But I didn’t want to say anything for a long time. I went crazy. It was scary.”

Dude. I hear you. Crazy is scary. Just ask Britney Spears.

“Being crazy is bad,” he continues. “It’s scary when the world isn’t real to you. You come untethered. Everything seems imaginary. You look around the room and nothing seems real. You don’t feel pain. I stopped letting myself feel … The album [Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings] is about a downward spiral, losing my mind and about trying to get it back. Not about getting it back but trying to get it back.”

“The Saturday Nights record is about madness and spiraling out of control and disillusionment,” explains Duritz. “The Sunday Mornings record is mostly about failing at the things you’re trying to do when you are getting better. It’s not redemption, necessarily. It’s more like the hangover.”

Jesus, Adam, I get it. I get it so, so, so much, and I love you.

And now, the bad news:

“My friends are trying to find a wife for me,” he says. “I’m dating a girl right now and a bunch of people are coming up to me and saying, ‘We love her. We love her.’ ” As for his take on her: “She’s wonderful. I’m lucky to know her.”

Whoever this chick is, Adam, she’s bad news. I’m good news. Our crazy can intermingle and breed. It’ll be awesome. Call me.
