The 43rd annual CMA Awards dominated the night for ABC leading it to victory in all the major advertising demographics averaging a 5.2/14 (rating/share) with adults 18-49 and 16.85 million viewers. It was the most-watched CMA Awards since 2005, and the biggest audience for an ABC Wednesday (excluding sports) since 9/21/05. It was also ABC’s best Wednesday night with adults 18-49 (excluding sports) since 11/17/07.

Taylor Swift collected multiple awards, including “entertainer of the year” and displayed a good sense of humor about her experiences earlier this year at the MTV VMA Awards.

“I want to thank every single person here tonight for not running up on stage during this speech,” Swift said as she accepted the award for best female vocalist.

Carrie Underwood Stops Brad Paisley From Praising Taylor Swift


Did Carrie Underwood pull a Kanye West at Wednesday's Country Music Association Awards?

After Taylor Swift won Entertainer of the Year -- the night's highest honor -- cohost Brad Paisley began praising the singer.

"How 'bout that? Nineteen-years old...Congratulations, Taylor. What a night. I can't even imagine a better...."

Underwood, 25 (who lost out of Swift in the Female Vocalist of the Year category), then quickly interrupted: "And how were we? We were awesome!"

Ha! Brad lost to her and was pure class but ngl if I were Carrie and Taylor had beat me i'd be pissed too. The CMA's gave it all to Taylor.
also did anyone notice Taylor's fake crying when she wont Entertainer of the year? not a single tear yet she was all "emotional"
 
 


On Wednesday, Taylor Swift became the youngest artist ever to win the Country Music Association Awards' top honor: Entertainer of the Year.But Wynonna Judd doesn't think Swift, 19, is ready for such a top honor.

"You want my honest comment? It’s too much too soon," the singer told
USA Today before the show. "Time is God’s way of keeping everything from happening at once. It’s just too much of a good thing too soon."

Judd, 45, added: "My thing is, being a home-school mom, I want kids to earn it, and I think some time ... 'cause mom and I rode in a car for the first year of our career to visit radio stations. There was a making of the star, there was a rising up, and the fans went with us.

"Now it’s over coffee breaks, the success, almost," she added. "You have to play catch up ... It's like the girl who wins an Oscar and she's under 20. What do you do from here?"

What do you think ONTD? Was this too much? I have mixed feelings; I'm a fan, but last night's CMA's was kind of dedicated to kissing Taylor Swift's ass (winning all the awards she was nominated for and 2 performances). She's had a great year with her crossover success, but I still think she has a lot of room to grow vocally and as an artist in the country world before she was ready for this. At the same time I'm happy for her bc I am a fan...idk, like I said, mixed feelings!

Fashion saved Lady Gaga's life and gave her confidence.

In a sea of fashion-oblivious pop starlets who wear predictable, stylist-prescribed outfits, Lady Gaga is changing the world one sequin at a time. In fact, this is the 23-year-old singer’s mission statement—one she repeats in almost every interview. Just keeping track of the amount of blogs, vlogs and tweets debating on whether she is a couture original or a fleeting faux pas is, in and of itself, a full-time job.

Yet, behind the web-induced fashion frenzy that is El Gaga, lays a spirited trajectory fit for a Hollywood biopic. Formerly known as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, the New York–native has become the third artist in history to have three No. 1 singles from a debut album on the Billboard chart. Her first disc, suitably titled The Fame, has made her a fortune, selling four million copies worldwide and reaching triple-platinum status in Canada. The monster success of her debut even prompted Gaga to head back into the studio to record eight more tracks for its re-release, a two-disc affair re-titled The Fame Monster.

Dead presidents, divorce, and new digs: Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner talked exclusively to The Daily Beast about Sunday’s game-changing season finale.
Sunday’s gripping season finale of AMC’s Mad Men embraced both bitter endings and bright, new beginnings, even as its characters were recovering from the tragic events of November 1963.
For a series that has thrived on exploring the subtle nuances of its characters and the unspoken subtext that hangs in the air like the curls of smoke from one of Don Draper’s cigarettes, creator Matthew Weiner ended the third season by removing its central settling—the Sterling Cooper office—and ripping apart its romantic leads, all while giving the enigmatic Don Draper (Jon Hamm) a new outlook on life and the future. In a single hour, Weiner, who co-wrote and directed the installment, offered a stunning set of reversals for the ad men and women the series revolves around, not only shattering the Drapers’ marriage past any hopes of mending but also giving birth to a new advertising agency, which rose up out of the ashes of Sterling Cooper and set up shop in a hotel room. (The Pierre, to be precise.)

Bikini model-turned-celebrity Aki Hoshino, 32, was dressed up as Padme Amidala from “Star Wars” this week to promote the DVD and Blu-ray disc release of the animated series “Star Wars: The Clone Wars The Complete Season 1.”

Reporters at the event wasted no time getting into Hoshino’s private life, asking yet again about her rumored relationship with JRA jockey Kosei Miura , 19. She denied that she is getting married to the young man some 13 years her junior, and also denied that she would be retiring from her modeling work. When asked about her plans for Christmas, she said she didn’t have any, but hoped that something would come up.

Hoshino deflected further questions about her love life with her light saber, but was kept in the spotlight by the storm trooper at her side. C-3PO spent most of his time in the background, but managed a wave for the cameras.

Both the DVD and Blue-ray disc set contain all 22 episodes as well as director’s cuts, with the DVD set going for 12,800 yen and the Blu-ray set selling for 15,250 yen. The sets went on sale in the U.S. on Nov 3, with a suggested retail price of $44.98 for the DVD and $59.99 for Blu-ray.

The Wrap reports a contestant died last week after suffering a stroke while performing a stunt on ABC’s Wipeout two weeks ago:

Tom Sparks, 33, a recent graduate of the USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism, was rushed from the northern Los Angeles set of the show to a local hospital two weeks ago. Sparks later was transfered to Cedars Sinai Medical Center, where doctors performed several brain surgeries.

But doctors ultimately decided there was too much brain damage, and he couldn’t be saved, according an email sent to alumni by an Annenberg faculty member.

Sparks died Nov. 5.

Dong Bang Shin Ki trio Hero JaeJoong, Micky YooChun and Xiah JunSu did not respond to the deadline which SM Entertainment gave them on 2nd November.

SM Entertainment revealed on 12th November, “Until 6pm, they did not give us an answer.”

And about what will happen after this since the 3 have not given an answer, the SM representative said that they are not in the position to say anything yet. But they will be coming up with an official stand again.

During a press conference held on 2nd November, SM Entertainment gave the trio a deadline till 12th November to respond if they have plans for album release as part of Dong Bang Shin Ki early next year.

But the 3 have not given an answer by the deadline. And when asked if it will lead to disbanding of the group, the representative said, “It has not been mentioned to us yet the steps which will follow from here.”

It seems that this fight between the trio and the company will last longer than we have expected it to be.

not dazzled

Robert Pattinson admits he got starstruck when he met Zac Efron.

The hunky Twilight star says he was lost for words when he first crossed paths with the High School Musical actor.

“I met Zac Efron,” Pattinson told Britain’s OK! magazine. “He was a really cool guy. That was one of the first times I’d ever been star-struck, but just because his face is so specific, it’s kind of surreal."

Also:

Rob, 23, recently revealed that he regrets having dental work for his role as vampire Edward Cullen.

“They tried to fix my teeth,” he said. “And they shaved these little gaps on, they tried to do an Invisalign thing. And I put the Invisalign thing on and was like, ‘I don’t wanna wear that s–t’.

“Those gaps between my teeth have decayed and caused me so many problems. That’s the one thing I regret doing because I wasn’t thinking at the time.”


FUNNY SIDE STORY: Zac Efron has an Invisalign. Perhaps Rob's face would be more surreal if he had just made the right choice.

I'm fairly fluent in Portuguese, but as I'm raising my 12-month old son, I've begun to realize that my "baby vocabulary" is lacking. For example, I don't know how to play "Peekaboo" in Portuguese. I've settled on saying "Cadê o Kiernan?? Aí está!" but that doesn't feel quite right.

So this has gotten me thinking about baby games in other languages. Peekaboo is the only game that I can think of at the moment, but for curiosity's sake, how do you say/play "peekaboo" in other languages? I'm specifically looking for Portuguese, but I'm interested in other languages too. Also, what other baby games do you know in other languages?

ETA: I suppose there's also the song "Trot, trot, trot to Boston Town, see little baby falling down!" I know there won't be a direct translation of the song, but how does one play a bouncing-on-knee game in Portuguese or other languages?

The stage play headlined by Ariel Lin and Denise Ho, <Man and Woman: War and Peace> will be showing soon. Due to the production being entirely in Mandarin, the cast of the play is in Taiwan rehearsing and rehearsals run up to 10 hours per day.

Due to the strenuous schedule of dancing and singing everyday, the exhaustion levels are high for every member of the cast. But the two leads are enjoying themselves, and both Ariel and Denise have fun playing when practicing Super Junior’s <Sorry, Sorry> dance.

According to sources, the two will do a ballroom dance as part of the storyline.

JON GOSSELIN SEX TAPE

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

New bombshell allegations that may cost Jon Gosselin his legal war with TLC AND custody of his beloved children as well!

Jon Gosselin's day in court could end with him losing his children - due to a sex tape scandal and allegations of cocaine use!

Jon's bodyguard Thomas Meinelt has been subpoenaed to testify in TLC's lawsuit against Jon, and The ENQUIRER has learned Meinelt claims he saw Jon snort cocaine many times, and that he's watched Jon's secret sex tape!

"Tom told me that Jon was secretly videotaped having sex with a woman in Los Angeles in October, and he's seen the tape!" said Stephanie Santoro, Jon's former flame and family nanny.

"Tom said people close to Jon put a camera in his hotel room, and paid a girl to flirt with Jon and have sex with him.

"He also told me that he saw Jon snort cocaine on more than one occasion, and that the more Jon got into partying, the more cocaine he used!"

As The ENQUIRER previously reported, sources say Jon's on-off GF Hailey Glassman sold and used cocaine while in college.

DENVER (BNO NEWS) -- The parents of the so-called "Balloon Boy" will plead guilty in court on Friday, his lawyer said in a statement on Thursday. A copy of the statement can be found below.

"November 12, 2009

Re: The Heene Case

Guilty Pleas

On November 13, 2009, at 8:30 a.m., Richard and Mayumi Heene will enter pleas of guilty in Larimer County Court.

Mayumi Heene will plead guilty to False Reporting to Authorities, a class 3 misdemeanor (the lowest level misdemeanor in Colorado law) with a stipulated sentence of probation.

Richard Heene will plead guilty to Attempting to Influence a Public Servant, a class 4 felony. The prosecutor has stipulated to a sentence of probation.

The stipulations carry the possibility of up to 90 days in jail for Richard and 60 days for Mayumi along with the probation.
After pleas are entered the sentencing will be continued for approximately one month for the preparation of pre-sentence reports.

Facts

Mayumi Heene is a citizen of Japan. As such, any felony conviction or certain misdemeanors would result in her deportation, even though her husband and children are Americans. Because Mayumi, while being questioned by law enforcement made certain statements which the prosecutor could use against her to possibly obtain a felony conviction and thus, her deportation by the federal government, she is avoiding that possibility with this plea.. Unfortunately, the prosecutors insisted upon a package deal where Richard would have to fall on his sword and take a felony plea despite the fact that he made no incriminating statements to law enforcement and Mayumi's statements could not be used against him. Given the marital privilege it is doubtful Mayumi could have been called as a witness against Richard and the rules against hearsay would have prevented the showing of the videotaped statement she made against Richard. Upon reviewing the evidence, arguably, Mayumi could have possibly ended up being deported and Richard could have proceeded to trial and had a good chance at an acquittal. This, however, would have put the family at grave risk of seeing a loving, caring, compassionate wife and mother ripped from the family and deported. That was not an acceptable risk, thus these pleas.

Conclusion

It is supremely ironic that law enforcement has expressed such grave concern over the welfare of the children, but it was ultimately the threat of taking the children's mother from the family and deporting her to Japan which fueled this deal. Threatening to stretch what is essentially a low level misdemeanor into a felony prosecution followed by deportation upon conviction simply to make a point shows a complete and utter disregard for the true best interests of these children."

OMFG: The CW is making plans to boost buzzworthy new drama "Life Unexpected" by slotting it in the "Gossip Girl" timeslot.

"LUX" will inherit the "GG" 9 p.m. Monday timeslot on Jan. 18, industry insiders confirm. What's unclear, however, is how long it will stay in that slot.

"GG" is expected to take several weeks off from the schedule, but it is not moving to a new night. That could mean that after a few weeks in the 9 p.m. Monday slot, "LUX" will shift to a more permanent slot-- though just where on the CW's schedule it's headed remained unclear Monday afternoon.

It would make sense to rest "GG" for several weeks so that the show could air with a string of uninterrupted episodes in the spring. Erratic scheduling last year slowed momentum for the series.

And when "GG" does return, the CW could decide to rest "One Tree Hill" for a couple of months, slotting "LUX" into the 8 p.m. Monday position.

In any case, the Monday move is the strongest sign yet of the CW's confidence in "LUX," which network insiders believe could be a transformative drama for the network in the vein of "Gilmore Girls" -- a series critics kvell over and viewers embrace.

a couple of months?! oh hell no

First it was the "magic map."  Now, CNN anchor John King is moving to the 7 p.m. slot, replacing the departing Lou Dobbs, the network confirmed Thursday morning.

King’s new political show will start early in 2010, Jon Klein, president of CNN/U.S., said in a news release.  The show will have "the widest range of opinions from across the political spectrum," Klein said.

King said he's "thrilled" to have this opportunity.  "There is a lot of noise and conflict in our political discourse, which is fun to cover," King said in a statement.

John embodies what we are striving for at CNN – he is steadfast in his objective and nonpartisan political reporting and has the passion for chasing down stories that really matter to Americans,” Klein said in an e-mail message to colleagues, obtained by The New York Times television and digital media reporter Brian Stelter.

King currently anchors "State of the Union," CNN's Sunday political show.  Dobbs announced on his show Wednesday night that he would be leaving Atlanta-based CNN after 30 years with the network.  Fox Business Network is considering adding Dobbs to its lineup, Stelter of The New York Times said.

Before anchoring "State of the Union," King was a senior national correspondent for CNN. He often appeared using his so-called "magic map," intended to aid viewers in understanding the election process and likely contributed to the increase in the network's ratings.  He joined CNN in 1997 after spending 12 years with the Associated Press.

Nick Cheung's new film "Mong Kok Prison" (旺角監獄) had one heated bed scene with co-star Monica Mok which was the most challenging for him. Because the two were too into the scene, making their actions too heated, even when rolling off the bed, Nick injured his shoulder and was sent to the hospital for treatment

In the film, Nick plays a triad assassin who has been in prison for 30 years. After he was released from prison, he suffers from mental disorders. Nick once said frankly that he's always worried of going over the line in getting too into character, thus leading to depression. He also revealed that when he's not in a good mood, he would become rude and can even hurt someone.

For the bed scene with co-star Monica Mok, Nick got too into character and worried about his partner, causing injuries and having to visit the hospital. Also this bed scene is Nick's most challenging one, the story talked about how Monica had to repay Nick for saving her with her body. Suffering from mental illness, Nick quickly took action on her, taking off her clothes and force kissing her. But during filming, the two got too into the scene, making their actions too heated. When the two rolled off the bed, Nick was worried that Monica may bump her head, so he had himself roll off first, so he can touch the ground first. Because of this, he injured his shoulders, the behind the scenes workers saw the accident and sent him to the hospital for treatment.

Afterwards Nick said: "Actually before shooting the scene, we already discussed that we will accommodate each other. When it was time to officially shoot because we were too into the scene, that's why there are injuries. Monica is very professional, she performed well." Monica expressed that she does not mind shooting intimate scenes, and praised that Nick is a gentleman. Before filming, Nick had already told her what parts of her body he will be end up touching.

The actress also shared about what life was like before her acting career took off.
