Four of Hollywood’s youngest rising stars, Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart, will be bringing youth appeal to Hollywood’s biggest night as presenters at the 2010 Academy Awards March 7!

The young celebs will be in good company; Oscar organizers previously announced that Sean Penn, Kate Winslet, and Penelope Cruz, who won Oscars at last year’s ceremony, will present honors at next month’s show.

Our Little Genius, a Mark Burnett-produced game show that was yanked from the FOX schedule in December, may have been pulled over leaked answers, according to a new report from The New York Times.

Genius featured kids ages 6 to 12 answering increasingly tough questions for cash prizes.

The Federal Communications Commission has launched an investigation of FOX’s planned game show after receiving a letter from the father of one of the potential contestants claiming that the child was given a list of potential topics and given specific answers to at least four questions, says The Times, which obtained a copy of the letter following a Freedom of Information Act request.

The show was set to begin Jan. 7. An air date has not yet been set.

The Black Eyed Peas have unveiled a 10 minute mini-movie to accompany their single “Imma Be Rocking That Body,” featured on their current album, The E.N.D. The band is currently performing across the US on the Northern American leg of their world tour.

Kevin James has been tapped to host this year’s Kids’ Choice Awards, airing March 27 on Nickelodeon.

According to PEOPLE.com, the Paul Blart: Mall Cop star will MC Nickelodeon’s annual award show.

“In short, I guess you could say hosting the Kids’ Choice Awards completes me,” James joked Monday.

Beginning Feb. 25, kids 12 and under will be able to vote in 19 categories — including “Cutest Couple” and “Favorite Nickelodeon Star” — on the network’s official website. The cast of Twilight leads with five nominations, followed by Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, and Dylan and Cole Sprouse.

A few things stood out to me when I read over the nominations, #1 why isn’t Justin Bieber nominated? That kid is on fire right now! #2 How awkward is it that both Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas are nominated but not brother Kevin Jonas…ouch!
