Long gone are the days of country music’s commitment to Aquanet bangs, French braids, bedazzled denim gowns and blue eye shadow.

At Sunday’s Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas, Carrie Underwood, Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift walked the red carpet looking absolutely stunning, each wearing a beautiful one-shouldered dress.

Taylor picked a vibrant red Angel Sanchez gown, Carrie arrived in a delicate pink Randi Rahm goddess dress and Miley choose a bejeweled Monique Lhuillier number.

Golf claps.

Gold sequins?

Check.

Mermaid bottom?

Check.

Flaxen locks?

Check.

At Sunday’s Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas, Kellie Pickler and Julianne Hough looked eerily similar.

Zuhair Murad created both of the dresses the ladies wore but designers and stylists are usually extremely careful about placing stars in anything comparable.

Not this time.

So, who wore their Zuhair Murad gown best?

Nicole Kidman pulled a Miley Cyrus at the ACMs in Las Vegas last night.

She flashed major back.

And her hubby, Keith Urban, obviously approved.

That paw’s moving a little bit south, ain’t it, cowboy?

We love that Nicole towers over Keith, the same way she did over Tom, and he was no qualms about it. He’s so obviously proud of and in love with her.

Adorable.

If he weren’t wearing so much pancake foundation and bronzer, this would be an “Awwww” Moment.

Last night Carrie Underwood became only the seventh woman to be named ACM Entertainer of the Year since the show began in 1970.

The last time a woman won the award was eight years ago when the Dixie Chicks picked up the 2001 honor.

Taylor Swift is only 18 years old and the country singer is proving she doesn't just have talent, she has megawatt star power.

At last night's Academy of Country Music(ACM) Awards at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Swift took the stage to sing "Should've Said No", brining the pain and the rain to the performance.

Check it out here.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
