CMT Roundup. Yee Haw!

The CMT country music awards were last night. If you didn't tune in to see Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus host the much hyped shin-dig fear not, we've got the recap below:

*18-year old Taylor Swift took home the top prize for Video Of the Year. Her hit "Our Song"had the video that put her over the top.
*It's all about the former Idols. We mostly hear about Carrie Underwood's country success, but last night it was Kellie Pickler who took home three awards: Breakthrough Video, Tearjerker Video and Performance of the Year.
*Bon Jovi knows how to pick 'em. Last year he collaborated with Sugarland. This year he teamed up with LeAnn Rymes. Both times he was a winner for Best Collaborative Video.
*Other winners on the night included Rascal Flatts, Trace Atkins, and Sugarland.

* The most entertaining part of the show came at the beginning of the night when a taped segment aired featuring presidential candidates all vying for Hannah Montana tickets. Trust me, it's worth a watch!

The Buzz: Idol Gives Back-a lot, More Marie, Beckham's Boo Boo, Ashlee Engaged

*American Idol is the gift that keeps on giving. It's been giving Fox great ratings for 7 seasons, it's been giving record execs hot selling artists, and it's been giving back to charity. During Idol's "Idol Gives Back" episode last night Ryan Seacrest delighted fans everywhere by announcing that now Idol will be giving mail too. Fans of the show will soon be able to purchase Idol stamps featuring Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and the rest of the season's winners. Of course, net proceeds will go "Idol Gives Back". You can send Kelly Clarkson's face to your friends by going to americanidol.com or PhotoStamps.com.

*Marie Osmond thinks people still care
-Poor Marie Osmond. She's under the impression that she's still uber-popular. Granted there are still fans left out there from her "Donny and Marie" days (they were kind enough to support her on Dancing with the Stars) but no one under 35 gives a crap about a washed up former musician. Osmond is hoping to chance this by writing a new book, "Might as Well Laugh About it Now". It's set to hit shelves in 2009. How much you want to bet that Marie will promote her own book on the upcoming talk show she's set to host?

*Beckham's Boo Boo
-I love it when celebrities get pulled over. I love it even more when they get a ticket! I'm not sadistic...I just like seeing justice being applied to all. David Beckham is the most recent recipient of police attention. He was pulled over in his Cadillac Escalade while running errands in Hollywood. I hope Becks can afford the fine...

*Ashley Simpson and Pete Wentz engaged
-Jessica's younger sister is finally engaged! The actress/musician* (cough, cough. Sorry I still have doubts she can actually do either) and her rocker beau made it official by offering a statement on a website. Here's the good news: We won't be subject to the whole "I'm a virgin this is a big day for me" bull crap that we suffered through when big sis Jessica got married. I wonder if preacher/dad Joe is going to perform the ceremony...

*I beat you Perez
-This is more a personal pat on the back. I reported yesterday on Natalie Portman's new beau. Today the story appears on PerezHilton.com. It isn't often that I can one up the self-proclaimed "Queen of Media", so when it happens I have to gloat.

The Buzz part. deux: text message break up, Thursday Night Live?, Pam Anderson's reality

* Text Message Dump
-Damn technology. In today's society when couples break up they don't even have to do it in person! Carrie Underwood has dished to the press that her breakup with Gossip Girl's star Chace Crawford was done via text messaging. She claims it was "completely mutual". I wonder if that's because when they broke up Chace didn't have any service and couldn't respond in disagreement.

*Pam Anderson's reality
-Haven't you always wondered what goes through Pamela Anderson's head? Good news...you'll get to find out thanks to a new E! reality show. The former Baywatch star will fly solo in the series, meaning you won't get to see her kids. The network's release regarding the new series had this to say: “Viewers will get to know the real woman behind the famous breasts and follow Pam as she tries to juggle love, career and peace of mind. Going beyond the fame and fortune, this is Pam at her core, living her life with no regrets.”
Yeah that doesn't sound very exciting. A better reality show would be "Pam Anderson's plastic Surgeon". It's be like Dr. 90210 only better.

*SNL on Thursday?
-Maybe it's just me, but the whole point of Saturday Night Live being called Saturday Night Live IS THAT IS AIRS ON SATURDAYS AND IS LIVE!!! The peacock apparently didn't watch High School Musical because they sure as heck aren't sticking to the status quo. NBC has ordered up new episodes of SNL with specific politically themed sketches to air on Thursdays after The Office. The show will run in the weeks directly before the 2008 election. Here's my question: Are they going to open with 'Live from New York it's NOT Saturday Night!!!"
