Her Lil' Sis!
August 18, 2002
Former pop power couple
BRITNEY SPEARS and JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE were
reunited -- although on opposite sides of the auditorium -- at
the "2002 Teen Choice Awards" celebration, airing tonight at 8
on FOX.
ET's MARIA MENOUNOS was front and center
for the star-drenched mayhem. She caught up with the
now-single Justin to ask about the gossip linking him to
JANET JACKSON. "Rumors are rumors and that's why
they're out there. They make things interesting," the cool
*N SYNC-er replied. Maria also got the lovin' lowdown
from PAMELA ANDERSON. The ex-"Baywatch" beauty set the
record straight about her relationship with fiancé KID
ROCK: "We're doing well, we're fine!" She also told ET she
plans on having more children in the future.
The
energetic event allows fans to vote for their "choice" celebs
in various categories. On hand for the hip Hollywood fun were
wrestler THE ROCK, FRANKIE MUNIZ, SARAH
MICHELLE GELLAR, JACK & KELLY OSBOURNE,
BEN STILLER, SETH GREEN, TIM ALLEN,
TOM GREEN, and REESE WITHERSPOON, who was
honored with the Extraordinary Achievement award.

HEWITT, who made her nationally televised singing debut,
