Jason Aldean, Carrie Underwood, Toby Keith, and More Country Stars Add Fender Guitars to Their Trophy Cases

Katie Henry — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 10:44:22 PST

Las Vegas went country last night for the 2011 American Country Awards. The event was hosted by Trace Adkins, for the second year in a row, and this time around he was joined by pint-sized companion Kristin Chenoweth. The night was a celebration of the genre's finest musicians with Jason Aldean taking home six Fender guitar statues, including artist of the year. Carrie added three awards to her growing collection including female artist of the year, music video of the year, and female artist single of the year. Taylor Swift missed out on the Sin City fun, and even though she was nominated in six categories her winning streak came to an end.

Blake Shelton took a break from filming The Voice to join his lovely wife Miranda Lambert in the front row of the audience. The superstar pair raised their plastic glasses during Toby Keith's performance of his hit "Red Solo Cup," and Keith later went on to accept the honor of artist of the decade. The evening was a mini American Idol reunion of sorts for former contestants Carrie, Jordin Sparks, Lauren Alaina, and Scotty McCreery. Scotty, last year's AI champion, earned his first ever award and took home the title of new artist of the year.

Toby Keith Wrote a Song and Then a Movie: Beer for My Horses

BuzzSugar — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 15:30:18 PDT

You probably knew that Toby Keith was a country musician and songwriter, but did you realize that he writes movies, too? Well, apparently he does. His movie, currently in post-production, was just picked up by Roadside Attractions. Keith gave the film the same title as his song "Beer for My Horses" (sounds dangerous if you ask me), which extols the virtues of crime-fighting and righting injustices.

The movie version (which Keith wrote, produced and stars in) is a "road trip story" that "tracks two local deputies who defy the sheriff to save a girlfriend from drug lord kidnappers."

This won't be Toby Keith's first movie role, as he starred in the 2006 drama Broken Bridges (see production still above). Also, he and Willie Nelson did a little acting together in the video for "Beer for My Horses" which is pretty hilarious. You can watch that here and wonder along with me why there hasn't yet been a CSI: Country Style.

Cowboy Hats and Blonde Ladies Lead the Way at the AACMA

PopSugar — Mon, 19 May 2008 07:05:00 PDT

Last night Kenny Chesney was declared the Entertainer of the Year for the fourth year in a row at the 43rd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Vegas. Garth Brooks was also back in the limelight to receive the first-ever Crystal Milestone Award for his outstanding achievements. Performer Keith Urban didn't need a trophy to make him gush. The father-to-be expressed his excitement showing off Nicole's growing baby bump on the red carpet. Top new female vocalist, Taylor Swift got real wet with a chilling performance of "Should've Said No" where she was singing and dancing while water poured down on her. Winner for best female vocalist Carrie Underwood not only looked gorgeous in her many outfits, but she also showed her chic geeky side playing with the hottest new toy she plays on her tour bus - I gotta get me one of those.

Country Cuties Come Out for the CMT Music Awards

PopSugar — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 06:02:00 PDT

Nashville rolled out the purple carpet for the finest in country music last night. Nicole and her barely showing baby bump supported her husband Keith Urban who was the opening act. Faith Hill looked a little lost in her all black ensemble but that hubby Tim McGraw's hat was a helpful distraction. As for the younger ladies, Carrie Underwood looked perfect in purple. This American Idol is well beyond being known as the reality TV contestant. Miley Cyrus continues to be everywhere. This was her first of many outfits throughout the evening as the host and performer. Taylor Swift was looking like a princess and the young star was also the big winner last night.

Sugar Bits - Check Out Mischa Barton's DUI Mugshot!

PopSugar — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 09:49:31 PST

So here we have it, Mischa Barton's mugshot after being caught driving under the influence, in possession of narcotics and without a license last night. Finishing out the year, Marissa Cooper style. What do you guys think - could it have beaten Shia in our best mugshot of 2007 poll? - TMZ
Tom Cruise is in talks with The Kingdom director Peter Berg to head up his next thriller, Edwin A. Salt, after the first two directors dropped out. Hopefully this isn't shaping up to be another troubled project like Valkyrie seems to be. - Reuters
Kristen Bell doesn't want her new relationship with Dax Shepard to be used for any promotion, asking that either her name or Dax's (not both) be used on the invitations for the New Year's party they'll attend in Miami. Can't say we blame her for wanting to keep a romance with him under the radar. - Page Six
Brendan Fraser and his wife of nine years have announced their separation. For the sake of their three kids, hopefully it's a civil divorce. - People
Country singer Toby Keith and his family have been awarded $2.8 million in a wrongful death lawsuit, after his father was killed by a bus equipped with faulty brakes in 2001. Hopefully this helps bring him some solace after such a horrible accident. - Fox News

Jessica Helps Honor a Country Music Giant

Molly — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 09:56:54 PDT

Some of country music and rock n roll's finest gathered at Gibson Amphitheatre in LA last night to celebrate filming CMT Giants: Hank Williams Jr. The show, which featured performances by Steven Tyler, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Tim McGraw and Toby Keith among others, paid tribute to Williams Jr.'s career. Present and accounted for was country music's future sensation, Jessica Simpson in a sassy orange number. I'm sure the boys were enjoying that one. Maybe that was partially to account for the big smile on Kid Rock's face, fresh off being charged with battery last weekend. Thankfully, it looks like last night's event went off without a hitch (or an arrest). The show is scheduled to air on CMT, Saturday, November 17 at 9:00 PM.

To see more from the event including Johnny Knoxville, Joe Simpson, Steven Tyler, Tim McGraw, Toby Keith just
