"This year&amp;#x27;s Teen Choice Awards was the best yet in terms of talent (Hello Ellen DeGeneres, Robert Pattinson, and Zooey Deschanel!), performances (Hey there, Carly Rae Jepsen and FloRida!) and hosts (Sorry, Russell Brand)! We were there to cover it all, and snap all the behind-the-scenes pictures! Check it out! The cast of ABC Family&amp;#x27;s Baby Daddy clearly is a family on and off the set. And can we talk about the gorgeous Derek Theler (with co-stars Chelsea Kane and Jean-Luc Bilodeau)? The stunner had me completely tongue-tied on the red carpet. For the record, I&amp;#x27;m not used to seeing such tall, athletic guys in Hollywood! Leave it to Ellen scene-stealers Sophia Grace and Rosie for charming the crowd--and the backstage production crew! One of our favorite Glee stars, Chris Colfer, admitted that he was stunned at the response to his first book, The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t expect so many people to come to the signings! I&amp;amp;#8217;ve never been by myself going around on press tours. I&amp;amp;#8217;m always with the cast. So it&amp;amp;#8217;s insane how people are coming out to see me and buy the book. It&amp;amp;#8217;s really amazing, and more than I ever could have thought,&amp;quot; he admitted. As for next season on Glee? &amp;quot;I don&amp;#x27;t know! I haven&amp;#x27;t gotten a script yet! I have one more book stop next week in Ohio, and then we start shooting next week too. I&amp;#x27;ll find out soon!&amp;quot; Colfer&amp;#x27;s co-star, Chord Overstreet, showed up to support TCA co-host Kevin McHale, along with Lea Michele, Darren Criss, and Harry Shum Jr. Here&amp;#x27;s hostess with the mostess, Demi Lovato--and her hair (which needed it&amp;#x27;s own zip code). MTV Teen Wolf cast members Tyler Posey and Colton Haynes were stoked to run into each other on the red carpet, moments after a monkey jumped on Colton&amp;#x27;s shoulder! Meanwhile, Crystal Reed, looking gorgeous in Marchesa, showed off her newly lightened locks for summer. Another stunner, Ariana Grande, showed off her one-of-a-kind macaroon creation, thanks to Kenley Collins from Project Runway. &amp;quot;She&amp;#x27;s the best thing that has ever happened to me. I&amp;#x27;ll totally wear this dress again!&amp;quot; [Fyi: Check out more of Ariana&amp;#x27;s dress in the video below]. Hottie Shane West (currently starring on the CW&amp;#x27;s Nikita) talked about how much he loved being on the ABC drama, Once and Again. &amp;quot;We were all so fortunate to be a part of Once and Again at such an early age, especially the kids. I haven&amp;#x27;t talked to Evan [Rachel Wood] in a while, but yes, I do keep in touch with her. We were like a family and really stayed that way even after the show ended.&amp;quot; Pretty Little Liar&amp;#x27;s star, Ashley Benson, looking quite sexy in Monique Lhuillier, Balenciaga and Jimmy Choo, spilled her new obsession of the moment: healthy meal delivery system, PALETA. &amp;quot;I just started it last week and I bring all my meals to set, which makes it so much easier. I don&amp;#x27;t have to worry about cooking or doing groceries. I love it! And every time I get a meal delivered, I&amp;#x27;m like, &amp;#x27;yay!&amp;#x27;&amp;quot; Speaking of amazing bodies, Jordin Sparks--who stuns on the new cover of Shape--was a knock-out on the purple carpet, and reveling in her new figure. &amp;quot;It&amp;#x27;s still so surreal!&amp;quot; By the way, I have to say--this was my first time meeting the American Idol winner (and upcoming star of Whitney Houston&amp;#x27;s final film, Sparkle), and she could not have been more gracious, warm, or personable. Speaking of cool Hollywood chicks, major props to Taylor Swift, who was one of the only stars (and definitely the only A-lister), who stopped by the press room to answer questions and great the media. On her way out, she stopped to sign autographs for some young girls, and took her time taking pictures with several fans. Once again, total Glamour Do! Next door to the press room was the Backstage Creations gifting suite, with some very cool swag for the celebs (among them: the newest Furby, which is literally like a stuffed animal come to life. Also, new Hasbro toys, the Just Dance 4 video game, LENA jewelry, MOBLI photo and video sharing apps, NERDS candies, Lady Gaga &amp;quot;Born This Way&amp;quot; inspired products from Office Depot, and the most amazing peanut butter ever--chocolate and coconut peanut butter!--from North Shore Goodies in Hawaii!). Some celebs needed a golf cart just to get their gift bags back to their awaiting cars. Check out some of the swag! Finally, I have to share a super-cute story that happened over the weekend on my flight from St. Louis (to visit my family) back to Los Angeles. I sat next to two girls (10-year-old BFF&amp;#x27;s Sadie and Layne), who were flying with their family for a week-long getaway to the City of Angels. When I told Sadie and Layne that I would be on the red carpet of the Teen Choice Awards, they excitedly offered to help me out by writing down questions for their favorite stars (and making me a pretty awesome--and hilarious--5-page list--complete with pictures I might add!) So, what happened when I actually met some of those stars? See below! What did you guys think of the Teen Choice Awards? Who would you have most liked to have met?
