  • Kenny Chesney Wins CMA Entertainer Award

    With some strange moments (Faith Hill captured on camera reacting poorly, Keith Urban winning while in rehab), yesterday’s Country Music Awards finally finished with Kenny chesney winning Entertainer of the Year honors.

    Hill was seen on camera reacting poorly — and some say in horror — when American Idol winner Carrie Underwood won the Female vocalist award. Meanwhile, Keith Urban sent word from reab in a note that was read to the audience.

    But it was Chesney, country’s most salable crossover artist since Garth Brooks, who won the night’s big prize. Rascal Flatts won more awards, but Chesney solidified his hold on country and popular music.

  • Keith Urban Checks Into Rehab, Will Miss CMAs

    In a year when all seemed to be going well for country superstar Keith Urban, things have fallen apart again.

    Urban, who is married to Oscar winner Nicole Kidman, checked himself into rehab for what will be a long stint. Nominated for four Country Music Awards to be made on November 3, Urban will miss the entire show and has canceled plans to support his latest release, due out early next month.
