GBK Gifting Suite: Kids Choice Awards 2012

With Sasha Pieterse from Pretty Little Liars.

We were back in the GBK Gifting Suite this week for the Kids Choice Awards.  This one always is fun because you can ask crazy questions like "Who will win Best Butt Kicker"?  Yeah, forget the serious Oscar questions of who will win Best Actor.  We hit the ground running and ran into Nickelodeon, Disney Channel and ABC Family favorites from shows like Lab Rats, Big Time Rush, Pretty Little Liars, and A.N.T. Farm. Come and check out all of the fun we had and who everyone thought should win the Best Butt Kicker category.  You might be surprised at the answer.

By the way, several of you asked what a celebrity gifting suite is, so check out my post from 2010 that talks all about it.

Radio Disney's NBT Finals: We Have A Winner!

Me and Shealeigh after she won!

Wednesday night was the big night for the preteen set:  Radio Disney's Season 4 finals of Next Big Thing (NBT).  Disney has been an incredible studio for discovering and creating stars on their networks and the two finalists: Shealeigh and Zack Montana are no exceptions.  It was a close race to the finish with a powerhouse voice from a petite girl like Shealeigh and the smooth moves and choreography of Michael Jackson in Zack, but it was Shealeigh's big night.  It was fun to watch this journey and talk to the contestants throughout the process with Red Carpet Report.  To see Shealeigh's face when she won, it was that much sweeter even from my perspective.  Both Zack and Shealeigh will be stars in the Disney realm, so look for more of their work in the coming year.  Here are my interviews with Shealeigh and all of the Disney Channel stars you and your kids watch each day:  Bella Thorne, Debby Ryan, the cast of Jessie, A.N.T. Farm, Austin and Ally, Lab Rats, and more!

The Jessie cast is so much fun.  Debby Ryan is always a class act.
