We could talk about who won People’s Choice Awards last night, but everyone should know that already. After all, we are the people. So let’s crown Worst Dressed instead. Was it The People’s Favorite Leading Lady, aqua-moron Kate Hudson? The People’s Favorite Female Singer, Skittles enthusiast Favorite Female Singer Carrie Underwood? Or The People’s Favorite Scene-Stealing Guest Star, purple velvet frog Robin Williams? Only you, the people, can decide.
Check out the gallery to see who else celebrated America’s taste by showing little of their own.

That's an OK dress for Teri Hatcher...until you get to the bunched up hem and bows. Without a pair of maracas, it doesn't work.

Kid Rock is going overseas to entertain our troops in Iraq this Christmas but Pamela Anderson’s ex-husband is not all smiles about the trip. Kid petitioned Judge Alvin T. Wong to allow his trip to count as part of his eighty hour community service requirement stemming from battery charges after he got into a 5 am brawl at a Georgia Waffle House last year. Judge Wong denied Kid’s request, claiming that he should not get “credit for something he would otherwise love to do in front of a camera.”
Kid then lashed out on his blog saying, “…apparently he thinks it’s more important that I do something else rather than sing, shake hands, take pictures, and spend time with the men and women who put themselves in harm’s way to protect the very freedoms he and all of us live by.”
After the battery incident, Kid held a fundraiser at a Georgia Waffle House and raised almost $20,000 for a DeKalb county homeless shelter. It seems as though his heart is in the right place. Give the Kid a break! [Source: KidRock.com; Photo: Getty Images]

We’re now starting to feel pretty sorry for Jared Leto. While Katy Perry gets to wear lots of mental outfits (like a merry-go-round dress and a giant apple) and stand up on the main stage introducing acts, he’s lumbered with the more tricky job of actually trying to fill air time with scintillating conversation.
Hot on the heels of his thrilling “Are you from Louisiana?” conversation with Kid Rock, Jared has now just presented a cringingly bad segment where he interviewed the Ting Tings mixing a drink. “You wouldn’t happen to be a witch would you? A good witch, like the Wizard of Oz?” he asked singer Katie White, who looked pretty non-plussed. At which point Grace Jones suddenly turns up in a silver bowler hat and terrifies the crap out of Mr Leto, purring: “You’re not sweating at all, you look very sexy.”
He then did a sit down with British band Take That — who Jared had clearly never heard of before –– and asked them how many tons of potatoes got eaten backstage. We bet he wishes My So-Called Life never got cancelled now.

With a raspberry and plenty of nyah nyah nyahs, “So What” has put Pink back where she belongs — on top of the charts. And so what, indeed, to her ex-husband Carey Hart, referred to in unfavorable terms throughout the song. Pink isn’t the only one to turn her pain into artistic profit. As Kid Rock explains in “Half Your Age,” “You thought I was just gonna sit back and take it on the chin / But honey, I’m a songwriter …” Here are ten other tracks that prove revenge is a dish best set to music. — Charles Bottomley
10. “Survivor” (2001)
Slingin’ mud: Destiny’s Child, multi-platinum for Beyonce Knowles and other hirelings.
Smeared! LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson, who were unceremoniously booted from the band in 2000.
Ouch! “You thought I wouldn’t sell without you / Sold nine million.”
See you in court? Oh yes. Luckett and Roberson sued Beyonce and her father manager, claiming the lyrics violated a confidentiality agreement.

The celebrity blogger and tireless self-promoter Perez Hilton is bringing his brand of manic-mouthed commentary to Liverpool, where he’ll serve as digital host of the MTV Europe Music Awards on Nov. 6. Not one to mince words, Perez says “if Amy Winehouse isn’t dead by then, I’m going to bring her out of rehab and we’re going to f*ck shit up.”
The real host of the night is singer Katy Perry, who is a nominee for Best New Act — a category in which she was beat out by Tokio Hotel at the American version of the show last month. Performers include Beyonce, Duffy, Pink, Kid Rock and The Killers. After the jump, read a list of this year’s nominees and visit MTV’s Europe Music Awards website to cast your votes.

Looks like Madge and her Material husband are no more. After years of rumors as to the unhappiness of the pair, Madge’s “affair of the heart” this summer with Yankee Alex Rodriguez, and the fact that Madonna’s been everywhere but her adopted home of London using that fake accent of hers, we’ve been pretty sure trouble’s been brewing for a while. But the pair stuck it out for eight years, which is a lot longer than most celebrity couples stay married.
In the gallery below, we’ve put together some of the all-time shortest celebrity marriages. From Britney’s Vegas quickie to Barrymore’s bar nuptials, these folks have proven they *are* just like us, by making really dumb mistakes. From those that were hitched for hours to months, find out which of your favorite celebs said “I do,” only to have their lawyers tell them they didn’t.

Who: Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney
Length: 4 months
Irreconcilable Differences: The low-key country singer and the sour-faced actress met in January, married in May and were separated by September – an incredibly efficient public break-up. Renee claimed "fraud" when she filed for their union to be annulled, which makes us think she neglected to peak under that cowboy hat.
He Says: Looks like Kenny was a little surprised by the split. Three years later, Kenny's latest record features songs about Zellweger. "[The break-up] was horrible. It took awhile. Years."
Who: Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock
Length: 4 months
Irreconcilable Differences: She says he humiliated her at a screening for her film Borat, calling her a whore. He says she lied about having a miscarriage and flipped out when he opted to see the Lakers over her. The couple spent more time talking trash about each other after they separated than they did married.
He Says: "I knew it was a bad career move to get involved with her because your life becomes a circus — because that's what she wants is media attention," Rock said.
Who: Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley
Length: 3 months and 15 days
Irreconcilable Differences: The fact that your husband might be marrying you solely for proximity to your dead father who he's obsessed with, or that your wife was once married to Michael Jackson should have been warning signs for both Presley and Cage. Add in the fact that Nic reportedly chucked Lisa Marie's several-thousand-dollar engagement ring into the ocean during their engagement, and we bet the psychic that married Drew Barrymore could have told you it wouldn't work.
She Said: "I'm sad about this, but we shouldn't have been married in the first place. It was a big mistake," said Presley, the day after Cage filed for divorce.
Who: R. Kelly and Aaliyah
Length: Undetermined (Under 3 months)
Irreconcilable Differences: A 15-year-old Aaliyah and her producer, R. Kelly, practiced what they preached on her debut Age Ain't Nothing But A Number – the two were secretly married sometime during the production of the album. In documents produced years later, the couple allegedly lied about Aaliyah's age, stating she was 18 at the time. Obviously, this did nothing for Kelly's whole "peeing on underage girls" court case.
She Said: "I'm not married right now," said the singer, the only reported comment from either on the matter.
Who: Nicky Hilton and Todd Meister
Length: Under 3 months
Irreconcilable Differences: Surprisingly, bad things happen at 2:30 in the morning in Vegas, which is when heir-head Nicky Hilton and balding money manager Todd Meister strolled into the very same wedding chapel Brit used, and tied the knot. An old friend of the Hilton family, the pair got their marriage annulled because he was based in New York and she spent most of her time in Los Angeles. If this odd couple who got married on a whim can't make it work, what chance does anyone have?
She Says: "Paris orchestrated everything," Nicky told Stuff magazine of her nuptials. When in doubt, blame it on Paris.
Who: Darva Conger and Rick Rockwell
Length: 3 weeks
Irreconcilable Differences: We know – we were as shocked as you when the Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire? couple split. After competing among 49 other woman (and knowing each other for a total of 120 minutes), Rockwell married Conger on the spot. Immediately following their Barbados honeymoon, Conger filed for an annulment, stating that Rockwell's former fiancee had obtained a restraining order, and raising doubts as to his millionaire-dom.
She Says: After 36 hours, Conger called it off. Of her honeymoon, she told Diane Sawyer "The whole flight to Barbados, sitting next to Rick in first class, he slept and I cried. I looked down at this huge ring on my finger and it was -- you know, hurt me tremendously. I -- I was very angry at myself."
Who: Drew Barrymore and Jeremy Thomas
Length: 19 Days
Irreconcilable Differences: After two stints in rehab by the age of 14, Barrymore, a recovering alcoholic, would have done well to not marry bartender-turned-bar owner Jeremy Thomas, in a bar. The bad decisions just kept coming, however: the couple, who had known each other for six weeks, made the decision to marry at 5 a.m., and were married by a clairvoyant the couple contacted through a psychic hotline – like he didn't know it wasn't going to work.
She Says: "We're trying to figure out (living arrangements) now," Barrymore told People soon after her nuptials. "Usually people live together first and then get married. I guess we're doing it the old-fashioned way. Kind of." No need to work out those living arrangements, Drew.
Who: Ali Landry and Mario Lopez
Length: 14 Days
Irreconcilable Differences: Just two weeks after the Doritos girl and the shirtless wonder got hitched, Landry dumped Lopez, who had a history of infidelity. Throughout the course of their relationship Landry was warned of Lopez's roving eye, but indiscretions committed the week of the wedding caused Landry to kick him to the curb.
She Says: "I thought I had my life figured out and all of a sudden, the rug was ripped out from under me," Landry said, following the divorce. Worst part? They had to cancel the Oprah segment. You know how hard it is to snag the "dream wedding" segment on Oprah? We guess it's not harder than keeping it in your pants for more than a week of marriage.
Who: Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman
Length: 9 Days
Irreconcilable Differences: Though they dated for several months prior, the gruesome twosome got married under some bizarre circumstances. First, it happened in Vegas. Second, Rodman was reportedly so drunk he couldn't stand. Then Rodman reportedly told everyone of said inebriation, meaning to discredit their marriage. Then Rodman issued a handwritten, two-line statement saying, "I apologize for any false statements given on my behalf regarding my marriage to Carmen Electra." Then he and Electra filed for an annulment.
He Says: "We had great sex! We used to just throw down in the bedroom. We had a real good connection when it came to sex." Like you had any doubts he was a total gentleman.
Who: Britney Spears and Jason Alexander
Length: 55 hours
Irreconcilable Differences: The pop tart and her high school classmate got hitched during a wild weekend in Vegas, and within hours their union was annulled. Stating she "lacked understanding of her actions" as rationale behind the annulment, it also reportedly came with a fair bit of hush money. That didn't work.
He Says: After keeping quiet in the initial hopes that they'd "get back together," Alexander dished the dirt to the British tabloids, talking about their evenings of "mind-blowing...rough sex" and Brit's body. What happens in Vegas...
