Levi Johnston, the 19-year-old baby daddy of political daughter Bristol Palin, accompanied comedienne Kathy Griffin to the 2009 Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

The couple held hands as they walked down the red carpet at the event, hosted by The Jonas Brothers.

“She’s beautiful and funny,” Levi said of his decision to accompany the 48-year-old redhead to tonight’s show. “She’s the star of the night.”

“Miley, try to top this!” Kathy added.

The 2009 Teen Choice Awards, honoring the year’s biggest achievements in music, movies, sports, television, fashion and more, as voted by teens, will air Monday, August 10 on FOX.
