ET's KEVIN FRAZIER was backstage and on the red carpet for all the action at the "43rd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards," where the country world was abuzz over GARTH BROOKS' return to the stage, SHANIA TWAIN's break-up and NICOLE KIDMAN's baby bump!
The country-palooza featured performances by BRAD PAISLEY, KELLIE PICKLER, SUGARLAND, CARRIE UNDERWOOD and more, and was hosted for an unprecedented 10th time by legendary REBA McENTIRE, who joked that when she started with the show, "Underwood was a typewriter, Sugarland was a doughnut shop and a 'pickler' was someone who made pickles!"
Aussie mum-to-be NICOLE KIDMAN proudly showed her baby bump on the red carpet at tonight's Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas. Arriving with nominee/hubby KEITH URBAN, Nicole graciously took some ribbing from show host REBA McENTIRE, who joked: "I don't want to go into all the details of how that all happened, but Nicole Kidman is definitely calling Keith 'Entertainer of the Year!'"
REBA McENTIRE and KELLY CLARKSON are teaming up for a joint tour of the Midwest in 2008, the chart-toppers announced today. Their "2 Worlds 2 Voices Tour" will kick off on January 17 in Dayton, OH, and wrap up a month later on February 16 in Kansas City, MO. Tickets for the Morgantown, WV, show go on sale first on November 30, with the remaining ticket sales rolling out December 1, 8, and 15.
'Charlotte's Web,' E. B. WHITE's classic tale about a spider named Charlotte, a little girl named Fern and a pig named Wilbur, is coming to the big screen December 15 with a star-studded cast featuring DAKOTA FANNING and the vocal talents of JULIA ROBERTS and OPRAH WINFREY!
'Charlotte's Web' is the story of a spring pig named Wilbur, who is destined to become the Christmas ham, until fate -- in the form of Charlotte (Roberts) and Fern (Fanning) -- intervenes. Wilbur is such a joy with his positive outlook that Charlotte decides to save his life by weaving five miraculous words into her web. But, of course, there is a price to be paid -- and it may mean Charlotte's life.
