Ok, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but this isn't exactly the juiciest of political catfights.

People.com reports that Levi Johnston had some choice words about his ex-mother-in-law, Sarah Palin, whom he claims referred to her son as 'retarded' (little Trig has Down's syndrome), and implied that this was just the tip of the iceberg of juicy dirt he has on her.

Palin shot back with a statement of her own, tagging Johnston as the attention-whore he really is by saying "those who would sell their body for money reflect a desperate need for attention."

Day-um!  I loathe to agree with the ex-governor, but we're talking about a kid who squired Kathy Griffin to the Teen Choice Awards, posed for topless pictures in GQ with his baby, and is currently planning to pose for Playgirl.

Anyone who makes the disgraced former governor of Alaska look good needs to rethink some choices.

Once again, Billy Ray Cyrus is defending some of his daughter's antics. Earlier this month, singer Miley Cyrus performed a dance routine at the Teen Choice Awards that included some moves on a stripper pole.

Daddy Billy Ray says of his 16-year-old daughter, "I just think that Miley loves entertaining people. She loves singing and songwriting." He adds, "I give my kids a lot of freedom to make the art they want to make and make it in their own voice. I think it's important."

It's also important for Miley to move into her inevitable "good girl gone bad" phase. If she's not already in the midst of it already.

First of all, I need to say something. Girl, you need to respect the weave or it will not respect you.

Moving on, The Dish Rag debunks the reports that stated Britney Spears was being greedy and grabbing swag and left her two rude young boys unattended at the Teen Choice Awards. "She never stopped at one sponsor station," the escort tells the Dish Rag. "It was all about the kids. She was devoted to them and was with them the whole time. They were even having a great time with Band Hero and they were all playing with Hasbro's new Bop-It."

"She never left the boys' side," our source says. "She could not have been sweeter, and portraying her as an inattentive mother is not true and so not fair."

Britney does need to steal swag when she can shop like the best of them. She spent yesterday shopping around with her assistant on Robertson Blvd. She looked to be a little tired with worn make-up and dark circles around her eyes. Britney tried on clothes at Vionnet in Los Angeles, California.

Being the incredibly lucky individual that I am, Socialite Life sent me on a very important mission yesterday: interview celebrities on the red carpet at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards. Obviously this was a very exciting task and I was more than happy to oblige. However, it seemed like the celebs were the ones who didn't want to be interviewed.

As I stood there in the boiling sun getting a weird square tan, I talked to some awesome people and watched a bunch of people fly by. Among those who flew by: Taylor Lautner, Chace Crawford, Mike Tyson, Kathy Griffin, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Miley Cyrus, Frankie Jonas, and probably loads of other people that I'm forgetting. There were some super awesome celebs who did stop and chat, and we got some create stuff from them.

My favorite person of the day was Zachary Abel from ABC Family's Make It Or Break It. He was totally modest when I asked him how it feels to be one of the hottest guys on one of the hottest shows on TV. "Uhh, are you talking to me, or is there someone else? Me? Uh, I don't know how I feel about it. I don't know about that. Umm, it makes me uncomfortable I guess. But thank you very much, it's very flattering." And guess what his favorite movies are? "Citizen Kane is up there, I'm a big fan of Citizen Kane. Rear Window, I'm obsessed with. Fight Club, lately. I like older films." Those are mine too! Zachary and I are meant to be!

One of the most exciting people was Justin Chon who plays Eric Yorkie in the Twilight Saga. I managed to grab him before he ran inside thanks to my awesome skills. Excited for New Moon Justin? "I'm super excited." Are you in all four films coming out? "I don't know about the fourth one yet, but I'm in the third one." When do you start shooting Eclipse? "In two weeks." Oh, and how would you feel about dinosaur cloning? "Woah, I think it could get pretty scary. What if they start getting out of control and you can't control them, you know." I'm taking that as he's totally down for it!

Keep reading after the jump for interviews with the Kardashians and special appearance from Zac Efron and Ed Westwick!

Although Beyonce was m.i.a. from last night's 2009 Teen Choice Awards, it's no surprise the "Single Ladies" diva won two of the night's biggest awards. The fans awarded Beyonce with Choice Music R&B Artist and Choice Music R&B Track for "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)."

It was sad not having Beyonce there last night, as there was no one to bring the diva quite like she does. I'm hoping the MTV VMAs will have some more sass to it, as Beyonce will be likely scheduled to perform thanks to her nominations there. Although that didn't seem to excite her at the Teen Choice Awards.

Apparently, Ms. Knowles had to miss out on the teenage festivities as she and her sister, Solange Knowles, posed for photographers during the press launch of a Japanese fashion brand Samantha Thavasa

You know, if she had made it to Teen Choice she could have passed out Hamburger Helper and done as bunch of campaigning for her charity affiliation, Show Your Helping Hand, Sometimes I think celebs need to hire me to do their publicity.

It was definitely vest and suit jacket day at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards for the men.

Twlight heartthrob Robert Pattinson wore a shiny suit jacket with a flannel-style button-down (how could he not?) and gray jeans. His New Moon co-star Taylor Lautner also wore gray jeans, but matched them with a gray vest, striped tie and white button-down shirt.

Taylor's fashion twin, Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford, also wore grey, but his vest and button-down were blue. Zac Efron, sported a slightly messy hairstyle (I have to say I like the old one better) and wore a plaid top, jeans and sneakers.

Bristol Palin must be jealous!

Kathy Griffin took the former fiancé of Bristol Palin to last night's 2009 Teen Choice Awards, and to Katsuya for dinner afterwards, in Los Angeles.

The comedienne walked the red carpet with Alaskan-born Levi Johnston, 19, and joked to reporters that she had been dating him for some time.

"Long-distance relationships are not easy, especially when he's in his igloo and I'm in my Hollywood tower," she explained.

When asked how he was coping with the date, Johnston replied: "I just, you know, look at her, shut up and do what I'm told."

Like any good man.
