Yee haw! The stars country music took the stage last night at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena last night for the 2010 CMT Music Awards. It was an evening full of the unexpected. Taylor Swift (who needed an extra arm to carry home all of her Grammy awards) walked away with nothing, John Mayer jammed with Keith Urban, Jersey Shore’s Snooki and “The Situation” presented with chef Paula Deen, and we’re still trying to figure out what Kelly Clarkson was doing with a baby alligator at the CMT after party. Flip through to see all highlights from CMT’s Hootenanny. More »

danny-heart-132x120 The first single from American Idol third-place finisher Danny Gokey premiered on a Wisconsin country-music station this morning, and it’s probably not going to come as much of a surprise to people who followed him during his long American Idol journey. The track, “It’s Only,” is an inspirational ditty that’s clearly channeling “Jesus, Take The Wheel,” and his breathy voice is nearly drowned out by a super-mournful slide guitar at various moments. (The phrase Chicken Soup For The Ears bubbled into my brain at more than one point.) I don’t foresee hearing this in my dentist’s office, but I think it’ll perform well thanks to its holiday-season release timing and heart-filled message. [MJ] More »

danny-heartAre you getting married soon? Does your guest list have a low quotient of dorky uncles who will dance inappropriately to “Celebration” and other wedding staples? Well, Ryan Seacrest has the solution for you! The overemployed American Idol host is throwing a “Perfect Wedding” contest in which he’s giving away a full-blown marital extravaganza, complete with invitations, catering, and Tori Spelling appearance. (Oh, Los Angeles.) And the piece de resistance—a reception performance by none other than polarizing Idol hopeful Danny “Screech” Gokey! More »

ai8_top13perform_megancorkreyFox is rerunning the Michael Jackson-themed episode of last season’s American Idol on Monday night, because hey, what better way to commemorate the man and his work than to subject America to Megan Joy’s caw-cawing during “Rockin’ Robin” and Danny Gokey’s awkward-uncle spin on “P.Y.T.”? Relive my recap of the night here, and recall that Kris Allen had started to kind of stand out from the pack even then! [BuddyTV] More »

gokester I dunno… something tells me that trying to pick up bespectacled American Idol yarler Danny Gokey with the line “I so badly want to be touched by your ministry”–while at church–would probably work. But really, is doing so worth the cheap thrill–and subsequent guilt? Is it??? [Really Bad Hair Day via Top Idol] More »

katy-perry-cape-adam-lamberWith a little more than 24 hours to go until the American Idol finale, a few bits of news are trickling out… that, of course, have nothing to do with what finalists Adam Lambert and Kris Allen might be singing during tomorrow night’s competition. Because if there’s one thing about this year, it’s that the performances were usually the least important thing! After the jump, Danny Gokey is still dumb, Katy Perry gets her clothing bleeped, and no one knows who’ll be judging next year. More »

kris-allen-01-2009-05-12Only three people left on American Idol! And it was the 300th episode! And there was a shoutout to “Idol Gives Back” even though that episode was canceled last year! And the judges spent way too much time fighting, because they are a bunch of children who can’t stand the idea of their time in the spotlight coming to an end next week. Ratings and reactions after the jump. More »
