If you would like to lay your eyes on the person responsible for lodging the insidious “Call Me Maybe” inside your brain pan, tune in to see Carly Rae Jepsen (pictured) perform it in the flesh on this kudocast that celebrates all things youthful and shiny. (In other words, here’s a chance to catch up on all the stuff your tweens think is cool in one two-hour shot.) The former “Canadian Idol” contestant appears on a roster of performers that includes her countryman Justin Bieber, Flo Rida, and a rebooting No Doubt. Trophies — in this case surfboards — will be handed out for film, TV, music, fashion, sports, and comedy. Categories include Choice Twit (translation: “best Twitterer”). Soon-to-be “The X Factor” judge Demi Lovato handles hosting duties.
