Miley Cyrus avoids slime but wins Kids' Choice Awards

Disney star picks up two Nickelodeon awards

Miley Cyrus had slime on her mind Saturday at Nickelodeon's 2008 annual Kids Choice Awards.

The teen superstar begged not to get showered with the green stuff while she accepted the award for Favorite Female Singer (she also won for Favorite TV Actress). "I don't want to get slimed but I am glad to be here," she told the screaming crowd.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull star Harrison Ford, who presented the award for Favorite Voice for an Animated Movie, got the green stuff dumped on him instead, adding his name to the list of slimmed celebrities, which includes Justin Timberlake, Nicole Kidman, Pink and Johnny Depp.

Later in the night, Cyrus was back on stage to rock the house with her tune, "G.N.O. - Girl's Night Out."

Jack Black showed off several green outfits while playing host, but Jessica Alba, who took home the award for Favorite Movie Actress, outshined him in a deep green gown.

Cameron Diaz, who was introduced by Ashton Kutcher, said winning the Wannabe Award was even better than winning the Big Burp Award, which she took home a previous year. "Oh wow. And when I say wow, I mean, Wow!" she said. "This is the biggest honor in my entire life."

Things got messy when Heidi Klum used darts to burst green slime balloons that filled the Mighty Slime Vat with a record-breaking amount of the oozing green stuff, which eventually ended up all over Black and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl star Orlando Bloom in a climactic ending to the show.
