MMMBRAT

Do Hanson need a nap? At Nickelodeon's 11th Annual Kid's Choice Awards, held on April 4 at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion, the flaxen-haired threesome known for their wholesome piety met the media with a suprisingly less-than-Christian attitude. At a press conference following their wins for Favorite Group and Favorite Song ("MMMBop"), one reporter inquired about the teen rockers' religious convictions. Though the group offered a diplomatic response about the matter "being private," the reporter persisted, asking whether they sought out churches while on the road. The query sparked an annoyed Zac Hanson, 12, to blurt out "You're a weirdo." And when another journalist attempted to break the stunned silence by asking "How does it feel being sex symbols at such a young age?" Zac was again quick to snark "Oh, we have another weirdo in the room," which quickly put an end to the interview. Has the pressure finally gotten to the adolescent superstars? A spokesman declined to comment on Zac's cranky behavior. Then again, maybe he was just trying to promote the groups new single. It's title, "Weird."
