L.Lo and Nick Cannon? He's hilarious!

Nick Cannon may have looked quite confident presenting Lindsay Lohan with the VH1 Big in '05 "It" Girl Award this weekend, but earlier, when asked about rumors of a romance, he was a bit more demure. After a few nervous laughs, Cannon told this column, "I'm very fond of her. She's a very beautiful person and a great friend of mine. And I probably wouldn't be here tonight if she weren't here." Well, then. The pair are currently filming the movie "Bobby," which is being directed by Emilio Estevez. "It's about the assassination of Robert Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel and what happened in the course of that day. It's going to be really cool," claimed Cannon. And what a cast. "It's got Demi Moore, Elijah Wood, Sharon Stone, Anthony Hopkins -- it's crazy." Cannon and Lohan were two of the many celebs who descended upon Sony Studios on Saturday for the VH1 Awards, which included performances by INXS, Def Leppard, Audio Slave and Fall Out Boy.
