Where were the sparkles? And the boots? And the crazy hats? I mean, what’s the point of even having an American Country Awards if the outfits are going to be so tame? Can we go back in time and do it all over again? No? Okay, well in that case, here are some of those not-crazy-enough outfits from last night’s ACAs. More »
We can’t necessarily prove it. But Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley‘s opening monologue did include a song riffing on Kim Kardashian‘s failed marriage to Kris Humphries. So why should it be such a stretch that the nominees and presenters all decided to wear white in honor of the reality-TV newlywed/soon-to-be divorcée? More »
There is something so charming about Country Music award shows. For instance, the artists still actually perform live music and are able to sing without autotune.
But also, you’ve got to give it to country music for its its ongoing dedication to big hair. Not only are these women going to show up to their awards shows with their hair sprayed up within an edge of its life, but they’re not gonna let a little thing like HD television get in the way of their hair spraying ways.

The Academy of Country Music Awards was held last night, and the big news is that Taylor Swift pulled off a surprising upset to win Entertainer of the Year over Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert. Go Swifty! We noticed that the apparel trend seemed to be dressing up like creatures of the ocean. Flip through out gallery of deep sea lookalikes and dream of a beachside summer. More »
Wait, didn’t we just have the American Country Awards several weeks back? Oh, that was the Country Music Awards? Well what about last week…oh, that was the American Music Awards, that’s right. Thank god for Google Calendar or I’d never get any of this straight.
Though this ceremony did distinguish itself in ways the CMAs failed to. Sure, there was the usual amount of tassels masquerading as the bottom parts of dresses, and men wearing inappropriately casual Ed Hardy shirts. But did the other music award shows have both Carrot Top and famed illusionist Criss Angel? I rest my case, good sir. Sir, I said I rest my case! Now be a good lad at fetch me some of those Uncle Krackers. More »

• Carrie Underwood is one of the few celebrities not willing to get knocked up the moment she ties the knot. (The Frisky)
• Snooki‘s birthday party may be sponsored by LifeStyles condoms. Good call, we wouldn’t want these people procreating. (Lemondrop) More »
Our CMAs live chat went well, thanks for asking. Did you miss it? Well to recap, most of the three hours (I knooow, right?) were spent writing some version of “whoa, that dress is SPARKLY.” Because seriously, everything was so, so sparkly! To the point that we began to suspect Nashville suffered some sort of glitter factory explosion. Or maybe that’s just what weather’s like in the south? Put on a pair of sunglasses and check out the shiny ensembles for yourself.

The Country Music Awards are tonight. What does that mean? That at 8P on ABC, there will be more cowboy hats and Taylor Swift photo ops than you can shake a stick at. This year’s ceremonies will be hosted by Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley, who you can see here lovingly accompanying Little Jimmy Dickens to the microphone. Long live miniature humor novelty country singers!
We’ll be liveblogging the awards tonight with our friends at College Candy. And for those of you who aren’t up to date on the latest fashions that country music has to offer, we wanted to give you a little taste of what could be on offer tonight. Rhinestones and overalls and lava dresses. Oh My! More »
Want to look good this fall while still feeling warm and comfortable? Then throw on a pair of socks before stepping into your heels or flats. All the celebs are doing it! (Personally, we’ve been known to rock a pair of thigh-highs over tights or leggings, but we tend to lean more towards the “warm and comfortable” end of the spectrum.) Before the really cold weather hits, check out our gallery of all the different ways to wear your sock-n-shoe ensemble. More »

Lots of folks tied the knot this weekend! We weren’t invited, but we’d like to offer our congratulations anyway:
Despite our onetime skepticism about the couple’s future, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski were married yesterday in a private ceremony in Italy, accompanied by friends like George Clooney. Emily wore a custom cream chiffon dress by Marchesa.
Carrie Underwood got hitched to hockey player Mike Fisher at the Ritz Carlton Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro, Georgia.

Guys, we’re hosting an awesome star-studded (imaginary) 4th of July party and the guest list is getting really big so we need your help cutting it down. We’ll of course need a variety of characters to help round out the bash, but too many of the same types could also lead to monotony. So come along, and help us decide who should make the guest list and who should be forced to watch fireworks from the privacy of their own… More »
Kellie Pickler’s boyfriend Kyle Jacobs — a songwriter — proposed on a Florida beach on June 15. With Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert also getting engaged, there is definitely something in the water among country-music sensations. (People)
We can’t believe we’re admitting this but Team Vienna Girardi. The Bachelor Jake Pavelka is a toolbox, and treated Vienna like crap, refusing to be intimate with her and then carrying on relations with an ex. (Popeater)

Tabloid readers always been obsessed with celebrity weddings. We cooed over Brad and Jen, marveled at the excess of Star Jones and Al Reynolds, and imagined ourselves in that Italian castle with Katie Holmes and her couch-jumper, Tom Cruise.
We love weddings so much that we are always waiting for the next one. Right now the glossy magazines are full of rumors about Reese Witherspoon and her agent boyfriend Jim Toth. We have our fingers crossed for Bradley Cooper and Renee… More »
What exactly is Snooki and The Situation doing at the CMT Music Awards? Our thoughts exactly. We don’t know! But hey, if it distracts attention from Danny Gokey’s unfortunate Downey-lite ensemble, then we’ll take it. Other stars who hit the CMTs: Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Julianne Hough and that hot dude from Lady Antebellum.

Grass is green, the world is round and Lee DeWyze is the worst-ever winner in the history of American Idol.
As a loyal viewer of the Fox competition since day one, I stand by that statement. Lee has some talent but no stage presence, no real of selling out stadiums like Carrie Underwood or even doing Broadway like Taylor Hicks. Tellingly, he’s the third unassuming guitar guy in a row to win the Idol title after Kris Allen and David Cook…. More »
American Idol is on its tenth season and, like any show, they’ve had to make some changes to keep things fresh. The judges’ save, allowing competitors to play instruments, and the additions of Kara DioGuardi and Ellen DeGeneres were all ways Idol tried to keep the show interesting. But might I suggest that the show get rid of some dead weights? I’m not talking about firing Randy Jackson (at least not this time). No, I’m suggesting Idol ban some of… More »
