CMT MUSIC AWARDS

 

The nominations are out for the C-M-T Music Awards. And if the awards were a card game, threes would be wild. Three acts _ Carrie Underwood, Chris Stapleton and Cam _ are tied with three nominations each. They are all up for video of the year _ or as it might be known to C-M-T Music Awards _ the Underwood award. She has won the award a record six times, including the last four years. Winners will be announced at a ceremony in Nashville on June 8th.

BLAKE SHELTON - GWEN STEFANI - NEW SINGLE

 

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani were gazing into each other's eyes last night. But it wasn't at a cozy restaurant or in front of a fireplace -- it was on stage on ``The Voice.'' The recently-minted couple debuted their new duet ``Go Ahead and Break My Heart'' in a live performance. Stefani isn't a coach this season, but she has been a mentor. On last night's show, Shelton and Stefani performed the single from Shelton's upcoming album ``If I'm Honest.'' The album comes out a week from Friday.

DESERT TRIP - SECOND WEEKEND

 

So, it looks like that Desert Trip concert will turn out to be a twice-in-a-lifetime event.

The event will feature the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Roger Waters and the Who. Tickets for the shows Oct. 7-9 and 14-16 went on sale yesterday and sold out in a few hours.

JAMES TAYLOR - WILDFIRES

 

James Taylor is lending his voice to the effort to help those affected by a huge wildfire in Alberta. The singer is doing two shows in Calgary and Edmonton next month _ and he says he is donating the proceeds from ticket sales to the Canadian Red Cross. Taylor says the wildfires are a major national disaster and impossible to ignore. More than 80-thousand people have been displaced by the fires, which began last week.

CYNDI LAUPER - GETTING BOOTED

 

These cowboy boots may be made for walking _ but Cyndi Lauper says, not on her feet. Though she is making a foray into country music, she says she isn't ready to step into a pair of western-style boots. The reason, Lauper says, is a simple one: ``they hurt my feet.'' She says she if they made them less pointy, she might be inclined to pull a pair on. But until then _ unless they're square toed boots, it isn't happening for her.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - EUROVISION

``THE VOICE''

 

Sure, lots of singing wannabes try to channel their inner Beyonce.  Most don't do it well and even fewer guys try to be her alter-ego, Sasha Fierce.  But not Bryan Bautista. He did a version of ``1+1'' that had the judges on ``The Voice'' singing his praises. Adam Levine says he's really impressed by a male singer who can deliver on the high notes.  Bryan's coach Christina Aguilera even said Beyonce should do a duet with him. Tonight, the bottom two singers compete for the instant Twitter save.
