“I am jumping up and down surrounded by dogs and my mom and screaming like it’s Christmas morning. I’ll never forget this,” Taylor Swift Tweeted after finding out that she was nominated for four awards in the 2009 Country Music Awards (Best Music Video, Album of the Year, Best Female Vocalist and Entertainer of the Year).

It looks like Santa has her on his nice list, because she won all four nods at the CMA held at Nashville’s Sommet Center Wednesday night. “I will never forget this moment because… everything I have ever wanted has just happened to me,” she said upon receiving the Entertainer of the Year award, beating the show’s co-host Carrie Underwood.

In just three hours, 10,000 people grabbed the free passes to the 2009 MTV European Music Awards in Berlin, in honor of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. How ironic that the organizers mounted a 12-foot wall at the venue to keep those without tickets from watching the show.

That didn’t stop the musical guests from giving earth-shaking performances. Beyonce Knowles not only bagged the best female artist award and best song award for “Halo,” but also wowed the audience with her racy red outfit as she performed her hit “Sweet Dreams.”

Wall-to-wall would be an understatement for Katy Perry’s costume changes and hosting skills. From her various red carpet frocks to her glittering stage costumes, Perry’s wardrobe did not disappoint fans that night.

Other highlights included performances by Green Day, Tokio Hotel and Leona Lewis. For a complete list of winners and a gallery of red carpet garbs, visit the official MTV Euro site.

In last year’s Emmys, five reality stars emceed the show. It was so disastrous that I forgot who they were, and I supposed, so did you. And boy did the producers make up for it this year! TV actor and Broadway star Neil Patrick Harris was hailed for his superb hosting skills and opening performance at the 2009 Emmy Awards.

Reminiscent of his Tony Awards performance this year, NPH’s opening act was a song-and-dance number that didn’t disappoint. Never mind that he didn’t win Best Supporting Actor for How I Met Your Mother. If you missed it, view it here:

His hosting was so good that when Jeff Probst accepted his award for Best Reality Host for Survivor, he said in his acceptance speech: “Neil Patrick Harris, THIS is how you host the Emmys. Nice job.” Now I remember. Jeff was one of the five hosts in last year’s show.

If that wasn’t enough, Jon Stewart, who accepted the Best Variety, Music or Comedy Series award for The Daily Show, paused in the middle of his speech to compliment NPH on doing a great job.

As for the winners that night, there wasn’t much surprise as most of the awards were given to the same winners as last year’s Emmys. See the full list here.

“The Emmy cast with Harris in charge not only was remarkably stylish, fun and brisk but could even make viewers forget last year’s disastrous format with five hosts, none of whom could rise to the occasion,” commented Frazier Moore of the AP.

First the Tonys, and now he saves the Emmys. What’s next for NPH—the Oscars?

Why would anyone want to be called Lil Mama? Anyway, Lil Mama is her name and she did a little Kanye at the VMA. Poor little girl, no one even really noticed – at least no one talked about it except for TMZ, who must have been feeling sorry for her.

You might not have noticed, but Lil Mama jumped onto the stage at the end of the performance of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. It’s sad that she dared do something like that. It’s sadder that no one noticed.

The guy must be coming to his senses. After he apologized in his blog, he published another post on Monday where he wrote:

“I feel like Ben Stiller in Meet the Parents when he messed up everything and Robert De Niro asked him to leave… That was Taylor’s moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her. I am truly sorry.”

Yeah, I felt sorry for Gaylord Focker – he was only trying to impress his future in-laws. But what was Kanye trying to do that night, impress Beyonce?

Country hottie Taylor Swift has come into her own, as attested to by her win at this year’s VMA. Unfortunately, Kanye West decided to be the rude person that he tends to be and interrupted her in the middle of her speech. He said:

“Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’m [going to] let you finish — but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.”

Needless to say, everyone took Taylor’s side and Kanye got thrown out. Why does he do these things???

Janet Jackson is going to open this year’s MTV VMAs, and she is going to do it with a tribute to her brother, Michael. Needless to say, it is the most appropriate thing to do after his passing and considering his contribution to the popularity of music videos. This should be quite a production!

…and platinum! Her “Streisand The Concerts” DVD set has already been certified gold and platinum within the first 2 months of release. I guess that’s saying that the diva has not lost her touch! Have you got your copy?

He may not be starring in too many action movies these days, but Sylvester Stallone has not lost his touch. In fact, he is going to be honored at the Glory to the Filmmaker Award at the Venice Film Festival. This award has been given to some of the most distinguished personalities in the field of contemporary cinema. Just another award for mister Rocky-man himself!

No, she’s not a parent, but she did narrate a children’s book together with her dad. Loukoumi’s Good Deeds is based on a true story and was given an award in the Outstanding category of iParenting Media awards 2009. You go, girl!

He has never won a Grammy, but he is a two-time Rock n’ Roll Hall of Famer. He has also won the hearts of countless fans all over the world. And despite not being Grammy material (his own words, by the way), he is a certified musician and will be honored during the 20th annual MusiCares, two days before the Grammys.

The Forbes list of the richest people in Hollywood has been released and it comes as no surprise that two of the most prolific producers/directors were placed at the top. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have out-earned even the biggest on screen stars. If they keep at it, they’re gonna be even richer in the next few years!

The memorial for Michael Jackson was held at the Staples Center yesterday, and it was an astounding success. For those who were there in person, there could not have been a more moving array of performances. For those in other parts of the world, staying up till the wee hours of the morning was nothing, just as long as they could witness the tribute to their idol. He may be gone, but he will be forever remembered.

This one has come a long way, and is still going from the looks of it. It has been confirmed that Neil Patrick Harris is going to be this year’s host at the Emmy Awards, which will be aired on the 20th of September. Will Harris be able to deliver? Let’s hope a repeat of last year’s Emmy Awards won’t happen.

This pretty little thing is on a roll! She has been the target of much attention lately, has gotten awards and accolades, and now has the honor of performing at this year’s CMT Awards together with the likes of Brad Paisley. Nice.

Everything seems to be going excellently for Brad Pitt. He has a wonderful family – which seems to be getting bigger and bigger – and his career is flourishing. Pretty soon, we will see his movie “Inglourious Basterds” in Cannes, something to be very proud of, dontcha think?

U2 has got what it takes – there is no doubting that. Decades after they made it big, the band still made it to the top of the charts with their latest album, “No Line On The Horizon.” Perhaps that street that was named after them should remain as is?

That’s what everyone is saying about the Oscars, despite the fact that organizers are doing all that they can to shake things up more than a little bit. I suppose that the fact that most everyone knows which and who are going to win – or at least we think we do – makes the prospect of spending the evening watching the Oscars not so exciting. Are you watching?

The new President has been busy since his inauguration but he has not forgotten those who had helped him in his rise to glory – Stevie Wonder one of them. There are plans to hold a concert to honor the singer and a Library of Congress award as well.
