COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS RECAP
If Taylor Swift gets any hotter, she'll explode. She was the big winner at last night's Country Music Association Awards in Nashville sweeping four major categories; entertainer of the year, album of the year, female vocalist of the year and music video of the year. Her last name surely fits what happened last night. Great line here from the Wall Street Journal: "She’s up there with sprinter Usain Bolt, actress Megan Fox and weatherman Storm Field in terms of people who lucked out and got monikers that fit what they do."
If they had an award for "barely there sparkling hotpants," that would've gone to Carrie Underwood.
Yes, there was yet ANOTHER parady of Kanye West. This one from 88-year old Grand Ole Opry singer Little Jimmy Dickens, who interrupted Brad Paisley and Carey Underwood on stage.
Darius Rucker picked up country's Best New Artist award. He's been in the music business for two decades. Hootie, anyone? He even threw "ya'll" into his speech. He's so country.
Here's Taylor singing "15" last night while the crowd went crazy. http://tinyurl.com/y93blrc

I'm sure Reba McEntire would be happy to know that her age is a red hot search on Google this morning. She's 54.
HUH?
One of the hottest searches on Google today is... are you ready for this?... "why won't my parakeet eat my diarrhea?" Yes. It's not because millions of parakeet owners around the world are trying to force-feed feces to their bird, it's because of a little quirk in Google. You see, when you type "why won't" in your search box, Google automatically gives you suggestions as to what you're looking for, and for some reason, "why won't my parakeet eat my diarrhea" is the first suggestion. Other suggestions include:
"Why won't my car start?"
"Why won't my dog eat?"
"Why won't he marry me?"
HOLY WATER (DISPENSER)
The swine flu is everywhere... even church. That's why an Italian inventor decided to protect worshipers by inventing the world's very first... drum roll, please... electronic holy water dispenser ! It's like an automatic soap dispenser in a public bathroom; you wave your hand under the sensor and holy water spurts out. Father Motta in the northern town of Fornaci di Briosco says "People were a bit shocked by this technological innovation..(but) the members of this parish have got used to it." So instead of dipping your hands into fonts of holy water as you enter the church, you wave your hand and get a squirt.
WHERE WAS THIS WHEN WE WERE KIDS?
When the going gets tough...buy your way out! Isn't that the message at Rosewood Middle School in Wayne County, North Carolina? A Parent's Advisory Committee came up with a sure fire way to raise money -- pay $20, and get extra points on the test of your choice. The Principal, Susie Shepard, signed off on the idea calling it harmless. She believes 20 extra points for $20 isn't going to make or break somebody's semester. Of course, those 20 points could be the difference between a "B" and an "A". Some complained that not only does this send the wrong message to students, but it also bars students from poor families from participating. The idea didn't last too long. School officials from Wayne County shut it down and told the principal to return the money.

AND THE AWARD FOR THE UGLIEST GOES TO...
According to a dating website, the ugliest men in the world live in Russia. Sorry. The website BeautifulPeople.com, which only accepts good looking people, rated men and women all over the world and discovered that the 'ugliest men' live in Russia, Poland and Britain. The website has admitted 360-thousand new members, and rejected 1.8 million from 190 countries. Swedish men have been the most successful getting in, along with Norwegian women.

CELEBRITY TWEETS
Rene Angelil says his wife, Celine Dion, is not pregnant. There was an announcement in August that she was pregnant with her second child, but it was never the case. Her doctors thought the fertilization process was successful, but it turned out not to be the case. The couple is undeterred, "Celine and I didn't get discourages...we put our faith in life and in the stars." The couple have a 8-year old son, Rene-Charles.

Question to throw around the dinner table tonight: If you're married, and fool around with someone of the same sex -- is that cheating? Yep! At least that's what Fergie told The Advocate: "I’ve been very honest with (Duhamel) from the get-go. I think women are beautiful, I’ve had a lot of fun with women, and I’m not ashamed of it. ... But just because I enjoy women doesn’t mean I’m allowed to have affairs in my relationship. I learned through talking with my therapist that it is still cheating even if it’s with girls, so there is a rule there." Questions are still out there, however, about whether Josh cheated on Fergie with a 'dancer' in Atlanta. Now THAT'S cheating. No debate.
Check out these cute photos of Juila Roberts kids, Hazel and Phinnaeus. Boy do they fit their names perfectly. She took a break from filming "Eat, Pray, Love" Monday to take them to the airport in Bali.

Nobody has cleaned up better and rebounded higher than Robert Downey, Jr. At least we hope. He's starring in the upcoming Sherlock Holmes and another Iron Man. But he says his days in front of the camera may be coming to an end, that's why his next goal is to get behind the camera. "I think the best thing I could do for my soul and my own development would be to direct...I’m not sure exactly how things are going to shake out, because it’s really easy for me to do landgrabs with my day job, and I still have a lot of passion for it...But if I had to guess, that would probably be my next move.”
Something nice as the holidays creep closer -- Jon Voight confirmed to US Magazine that he has patched thing up with his daughter, Angelina Jolie. "We love each other and that's the most important thing." The two haven't spoke in 8 years since dad went on Access Hollywood and begged his daughter to seek help for her "serious mental problems." But he says they met face-to-face in February and have been talking ever since. "Brad [Pitt] has been supportive - a key factor in her reaching out," said a "pal".

GADGET OF THE DAY
Wouldn't this be great during those 5 hour delays at the airport? Just climb in the Sleep Box and take a snooze. It's private and quiet. It also has WiFi, an LCD display, and sockets for charging laptops and cell phones. After you're done, the sheets are changed with a roller like a conveyor belt. They rent for 15 minutes at a time, but no word on price. Assumption: $$$. Another assumption: There have been a few couples that have tried to sneak in to join the "mile low club."
GOTTA SEE THIS

WHO SAID IT?
"She is destroying my life...This is another proof of her power and money trying to stop me from moving on with my life."
- Ojani Noa, Jennifer Lopez's ex-husband, after finding out J-Lo was granted a restraining order preventing him from marketing steamy home videos from their 11-month marriage.
JOKE OF THE DAY
A young girl came home from a date looking sad. She told her mother, “Charles proposed to me a few minutes ago.”
“Then why are you so dad?” her mother asked.
“Because he also mentioned he was an atheist. Mom, he doesn’t believe there’s hell!”
Her mother replied, “Marry him anyway. Between the two of us, we’ll show him how wrong he is.”
