Los Angeles, August 26, 2007 – This year’s Teen Choice Awards ceremony was undeniably star-studded, but an odd contingent of pseudo-celebrities also attended. While American Idol winners Jordin Sparks (sporting a new hair style) and Kelly Clarkson hit the green carpet at the Gibson Amphitheatre, so did first season runner-up Justin Guarini and last season’s hair sensation Sanjaya Malakar.

Jessica Alba said that she was in a rush and wouldn’t spend much time on the carpet, and then posed up a storm with anyone in her vicinity, including her Good Luck Chuck co-star Dane Cook. Hilary Duff did rush through, but she had an excuse – she co-hosted the show along with Nick Cannon.

Avril Lavigne had pinkish streaks in her hair, and the pint-sized rocker hasn’t lost her taste for ultra-heavy eye makeup. Avril and her man Deryck Whibley came in separate cars, she solo and he with his Sum 41 band-mates.

Lovebirds Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens also declined to walk the carpet together. Zac was surrounded by young female fans demanding photos and autographs while Vanessa marched over to Kelly Clarkson and introduced herself, right in front of us.

Eve wore pants, but we could still make out the ankle monitor that she wears thanks to her DUI case. Early on it seemed as though rain would spoil the arrivals, but Mother Nature cooperated, leaving us dry as the winners paraded their surfboard trophies backstage.
