Oompa Loompas Search for a Date To The Kids Choice Awards

GLENDALE, Calif., March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Willy Wonka's trusted factory workers, the Oompa Loompas, are causing a slow down in candy production. Rather than the usual enthusiasm for their work, they are solely focused on finding the perfect date for the 2007 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards. This is the first time the Oompa Loompas will be going to the big event and they want to go in style. They are now sending out invitations to Hollywood agents. Those celebrities who are so excited and can't wait for their invitation are encouraged to send an email to oompas@thewonkafactory.com (only emails from celebrities will be accepted). The Oompas want to hear from you!

As celebrities in their own right, the Oompa Loompas have set their standards high as they search for the perfect date. Willy Wonka himself has heard his Oompas talk about some very high-profile celebrities, all of whom would be lovely arm candy and would also be fun to hang out with.

"The Oompa Loompas are very excited about the Kids Choice Awards and can't wait to show up with a celebrity date," exclaimed a spokesperson on behalf of the Oompa Loompas. "They believe celebrities will jump at the chance to attend with them since they are known to be wacky, fun-loving companions. Plus, they have unlimited access to the best candy in the world, Wonka!"

For those familiar with the Oompa Loompas, some may be wary of their reputation and think that they are always singing, dancing and generally having fun. Willy gives his word that they will treat their dates to a night filled with wonkalicious memories. Celebrities, get your stylists ready and the perfect outfit picked out - the Oompa Loompas are available!
