First lady in the goo at kids' awards ceremony

THE green slime flowed so much that even US first lady Michelle Obama could not escape it at the Kids' Choice Awards on Saturday, where singers Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift came away big winners.

The program is an annual stop for Hollywood stars who are popular among teenage and young viewers watching the Nickelodeon cable TV network.

Hosted by Will Smith, the awards featured performances by Katy Perry and British boy band One Direction.

But as always, the green slime was the biggest star, where Bieber won favorite male singer in fan voting.

On stage, Bieber took the orange blimp trophy from Smith, then the show's host had a surprise for the 18-year-old pop star. Bieber was also voted by fans as the celebrity they most wanted to see get slimed.

There was so much goo splashing around in the finale that it splattered on the face of a surprised first lady.

Obama was on hand to give the "big help" blimp trophy to country star Swift.

The honor, bestowed on Obama two years earlier, goes to a celebrity who has devoted time and energy to charitable causes. Swift was singled out for her work to stop bullying and helping tornado victims.
