Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron were just two of countless celebrities at this year's Teen Choice Awards.

But the High School Musical hotties stood out for, well, being so hot.

It could be right around the corner, if John McCain has his way.

The Arizona Senator and GOP presidential hopeful volunteered his wife to participate in a beauty pageant ... which make sense, as she is a former beauty queen. Only this one includes topless and occasionally bottomless women.

"I was looking at the schedule, and noticed that you had a beauty pageant, so I encouraged Cindy to compete," McCain said at a rally in Sturgis, S.D.

"I told her [that] with a little luck, she could become the only woman to serve as both the First Lady and Miss Buffalo Chip."

Lame ESPN.com columnist Jim Caple wrote that one scene at the pageant resulted in a woman "dancing naked on a bar top."

It is unclear if John McCain knew the specifics of the town's pageant while making the remark, but that's at least somewhat doubtful, as he doesn't know the specifics of economic or foreign policy either.

Regardless, the audience burst into cheers at the thought of a topless Cindy McCain. That would truly be a watershed moment in political history.

... or Kelly Ripa?

No, it doesn't involve her beating up Jessica Simpson.

Below is the video for Carrie Underwood’s new single, “Just A Dream," the forth single from her second studio album album, Carnival Ride.

“Just A Dream” chronicles a young woman who is about to get married, only to discover that her husband-to-be soldier has been killed in combat.

It's a nice song. Chances of this being played on Army Wives at some point? High. Carrie is beautiful. Okay, on to the video.

Michelle Williams and Spike Jonze, who were recently spotted getting cozy in Brooklyn, have taken their relationship bicoastal.

The actress and the director shared an intimate dinner at Little Dom's in Los Angeles' Los Feliz neighborhood on August 2.

According to a fellow diner, Michelle Williams and Spike Jonze started off their late-night meal sitting across from each other.

"During dinner they would lean in and kiss each other over the table," the diner says.

By the end of the meal, Michelle Williams had hopped into Spike Jonze's lap and the pair were smooching, according to onlooker.

Jonze, the ex-husband of Sofia Coppola, produced Williams' film Synecdoche, New York. Williams is the former fiance of the late Heath Ledger.

At a Brooklyn deli, the director "had his arm around [Williams] and kissed her on the cheeks, then on the lips," witnesses reported recently.

We'd like to send our best wishes to former American Idol runner-up Bo Bice and his wife, Caroline Fisher.

The couple welcomed their second son, Caleb, into the world earlier today. Their first child, Aidan, was born in September 2005.

Earlier today, The Hollywood Gossip staff had the temerity to refer to Perez Hilton as "uncreative and unfunny."

In response, defenders of the blogger have pointed to jealousy as the obvious reason why we'd call Hilton out. One of his fans said we were meaner than Perez. We wonder if this same individual also thinks John McCain is running a better campaign than Barack Obama.

To back up our claim that Perez Hilton is an unoriginal (mean-spirited!) hack, let's take a post from his site today. It refers to the ongoing romance between Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson.

Hilton - the photoshopping, hilarious genius that he is - has written the word "Dykons" across the top of a photo. Does a Perez apologist care to tell us what makes that kind-hearted and humorous?

We don't question Perez Hilton's popularity; we question the quality of the posts made by this self-serving blogger.

Moreover, every time Perez Hilton mentions Samantha Ronson, he spells her first name "SaMAN." Get it, readers?!? Because, see, she's gay and she looks like a man. It sure takes a lot of effort to think of that.

Perhaps when Perez comes up with an extensive celebrity photo gallery - complete with a ratings system! - his readers can accuse our staff of slacking off.

Why is Monique Coleman working out with such intensity in the photos below?

Because she's sick and tired of running behind Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale when it comes to High School Musical popularity! Those adorable actresses have received far more publicity for their roles in this franchise.

As you can tell, though, Coleman isn't gonna take it anymore!

You go, Monique Coleman! Click on the following images of this actress for more shots of her in action:

What panel member on The View does Barbara Walters consider more of a nuisance than Star Jones and Rosie O'Donnell?

The daughter of The King is passing on her DNA to new celebrity babies.

Lisa Marie Presley is expecting twins with rocker husband Michael Lockwood!

Her mom, Priscilla, confirmed it to Entertainment Tonight.

"She wanted it really to be kept a secret for a long time, you know, and I think women should, because they should be able to announce what they're having and when it's time to make the announcement," Priscilla Presley said.

Genetics may have played a role. It turns out, Lisa Marie's dad, Elvis, was a twin, and her mother, Priscilla, has younger brothers who are twins.

Lisa Marie and Michael Lockwood will greet their babies in the fall.

A source close to Presley tells Us Weekly, "She's never been so happy!"

Lisa Marie — who wed Michael Lockwood in 2006 — was previously married to Danny Keough and (briefly) to Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage.
