CMT Awards: Shania Twain spills, Biebs and Keith Urban gives fans chills

2011 CMT Awards!

Shania Twain spills, Biebs and Keith Urban gives fan chills?

[Jun. 10]

The CMT Music Awards was a night to remember for sure with a list of stars so savory you could just sop ‘em up with a biscuit. The list included Big and Rich, Rascal Flatts, Lady Antebellum, The Band Perry, Lee Brice, Colt Ford, Hunter Hayes, the JaneDear Girls, Thompson Square and CMT’s Next Superstar finalists Matt Mason and Steven Clawson (just to name a few) for performances on the Nationwide Insurance stage. In addition, the company bestowed the Nationwide Insurance On Your Side Award to country music’s best new live act as determined by the fans. Nominees were Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Colt Ford, The Band Perry and Josh Thompson. NASCAR driver and Nationwide Insurance customer Dale Earnhardt Jr. revealed the winner, The Band Perry. The whole night was full of surprises for country music fans — and delighted anyone who already had a celebrity crush on Hollywood icons like Shania Twain, Gen Me star the Biebs, or Keith Urban. The 2011 CMT Music Awards show kicked off the night with a surprise duet between Wynonna Judd and Kid Rock but that’s not the only surprise the show had in store for us hard-core country fans. Shania Twain may have wanted to say, “I’m Outta Here!” after the fall she took coming on stage. One minute she was strutting her stuff and a second later she was sprawled, legs apart on the floor. Although Shania managed to pull herself up, the grimace on her face during her presentation left me with the impression that she really didn’t quite “Feel Like a Woman” after all that.

Twilight Dakota Fanning proud of baby sis Elle Fanning for Super 8 movie?

[Jun. 9]

It is going to be quite a week for the Fanning family as they celebrate the long-awaited release of the new Steven Spielberg movie Super 8. Daughter Elle Fanning has what some critics are already calling a breakthrough performance. The science fiction film written and directed by J. J. Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg opened in select cities the afternoon of June 9th and will be released everywhere the following day. The opening was scheduled to take place only days after older sister Dakota Fanning’s high school graduation on June 7th. The blue-eyed and blonde-haired, 13-year-old actress, Mary Elle Fanning, was born on April 9, 1998 in Conyers, Georgia and has already spent nearly a decade on the big screen. Her big sister Dakota Fanning is already famous for her work in blockbuster hit movies like Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Runaways with actress Kristen Stewart, and the 3D movie Coraline with co-star Teri Hatcher (sharing her celebrity voice on the project).

Sugarland band waived humanitarian LOVE flag on CMT?

[Jun. 9]

Sugarland band members Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Busch were honored by their loyal fans when they were named the recipients of this year’s Duo Video of the Year at the 2011 CMT Music Awards show last night in Nashville. But they really brought the crowd to their feet as they offered one of the most inspiring performances of the evening singing their anthem Stand Up. Nettles and Busch walked onto the stage carrying a large white flag and began their song as the crowd went wild. The harmonious duo continued to sing as they welcomed Tiffani and Lexi Gilbert, two young sisters from Joplin, Mo., whose home was destroyed during a recent tornado. Graphic photographs showing the devastation left behind loomed in the background as the sisters took center stage and Jennifer Nettles handed them the simple, hand-made, white flag with the single word “LOVE” written on it. The sisters waved the flag along with a smaller version while the audience waved similar flags in unison. It was an emotional and uplifting scene to say the least. And the message was loud and clear, “won’t you stand up and use your voice”.
