Cody Simpson named Aussie’s Fave Homegrown Act at the 2013 KCA’s!

Australian singing sensation Cody Simpson was sure to be on cloud nine last night after taking home the Aussie’s Fave Homegrown Act gong at this year’s Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards!

The homegrown heartthrob beat Justice Crew, Reece Mastin and Guy Sebastian to take out the top spot – rocking some geek chic specs and an uber-cool denim and leather shirt as he did so.

“Just found out I won an Australian Kids Choice Award. Brilliant. Thank you. Feels so good to see so much support coming from my home! Yeww,” tweeted the star.

And it looks like Cody had a great time on the Purple Carpet too, tweeting about one Hollywood starlet that happened to catch his eye during the ceremony.

“Saw @jessicaalba yesterday so I walked right up to her and told her how beautiful I thought she was. sorry she's gorgeous I couldn't help it,” he exclaimed on the social networking site.

Speaking to E! News before the show, Cody dished on his European adventures with current tour mate Justin Bieber, revealing how the two spent some of their down time while in Paris last week!

“I just got back from Paris with him the other day,” the 16-year-old dished.

“It was amazing. It was really good. My first time in Europe. I had an incredible time.”

“We went to the Eiffel Tower and stuff at 1 a.m. so we didn't have anyone bother us. It was a lot of fun. He's a great guy to tour with. I had an awesome time in Europe,” he added.

And as for the wild tabloid reports surrounding the Biebs recently, Cody claims the media are just making a “big deal” out of “stuff that’s not really that bad.”

“People like to do that about everyone,” he explained.

“You just gotta deal with it. [You have to] be as sensible as you can. At the end of the day, we're teenagers!”
