This year's biggest headline makers - Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton - were shamed into skipping the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday night. "There was originally going to be a 'Newsmaker of the Year' award," said an insider. "Paris was nominated for her 23-day stint in jail, Lindsay for her latest DUI bust and Britney for the infamous head-shaving incident. But none of them would dare to show up...all the publicists went crazy on Fox, and they just scrapped the category." The two other nominees in the canceled category attended anyway: Larry Birkhead, father of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter, and Sanjaya Malakar, American Idol alum. Birkhead said, "I found out about the cancellation two days before the show, but producers told me I could still come if I wanted to. Mine was a positive story, that I got custody of my daughter, which was not the case with some others. All these people wanted their picture taken with me, it was a really fun time."Britney, Paris, Lindsay nominated as newsmakers
