Carrie Underwood won Entertainer of the Year at the American Country music awards this past weekend. It was a big deal because she?s only the 7th woman to have received the award in the show?s 42 year history. Being that she was understandably in shock, Underwood admits she practically blacked out, and doesn?t remember what she said. She made the slightest, most inoffensive (in my opinion) dirty joke ever, relating to a story Matthew McConaughey told as he was presenting the award. Everyone laughed at the time, but apparently it caused enough of a scandal that Underwood had to apologize to McConaughey ? and her family.
Carrie Underwood was overwhelmed to have won “Entertainer of the Year” at the American Country Music Awards on Sunday night, but the moment did turn a little mortifying when she made a sexual reference joke to wanting to see Matthew McConaughey’s “boots” in her acceptance speech.
The Texas-born actor presented Underwood with the big award, but before his official duties he entertained the audience with a story on how he and his brother once took a road trip thru Texas to see Dwight Yoakam perform. While there the brothers tried to “pick up” a few ladies by telling them that they made a livin’ exclusively custom-making George Strait’s boots.
“We’re like, ‘Oh yeah. Say, as I a matter of fact, out in the parking lot, in the trunk of our white Corvette, we have the next year’s new edition white ostrich quill George Strait signed series that he’s gonna wear on tour next year.’ And they got pretty excited about that and said, ‘Well, can we see? Can we see? Can we see?’” McConaughey told the audience. “And we obliged … Point of the story is, we got lucky that night. Thank you, George.”
After taking the trophy from McConaughey, a tearful Underwood caused jaws to drop when she said: “I don’t know what to say. I got nothin’ … I want to see those boots, Matthew.” (The audience erupted into laughter but somehow we don’t think his leading lady, Camila Alves, was so amused). And clearly, Carrie regretted the spur-of-the-moment sexual advance.
“I’m so embarrassed, I totally embarrassed myself. I just blanked,” Underwood told Tarts backstage, burying her head in her hands. “You want to say something eloquent in a moment like that and I embarrassed myself. I’m sorry Matthew, I’m sorry to my family. I’m totally embarrassed.” She even admitted that she “blacked out” after hearing her name called and couldn’t remember much between making it from her seat to the stage and then to the press room.

Was that joke fairly benign or am I just jaded and disgusting? I wouldn’t bat an eyelash. While I don?t think any of it was out of line, if I were forced to call fault on someone here I?d say it was Matthew?s story, not Carrie?s little response to it. Country music fans must just have a better sense of propriety than I do. Not that it?d take much.
I understand Carrie?s near-blacking out from surprise. I do the same thing whenever I?m in shock. Or whenever someone kisses me. Probably because I?m in shock. I cannot imagine the stupid, useless crap that I would utter in that situation. Really, Underwood might be a little embarrassed, but it could have been a lot worse. Some vaguely dirty joke about sex and boots isn?t all that terrible.
Here?s Matthew presenting the award and telling his story. Carrie is shown before and after the Academy of Country Music Awards at the MGM Grand Hotel in Vegas on Sunday. Images thanks to WENN .

We all know that Miss Carrie Underwood is a lovely lady and that many guys would love to have her, but hold onto your Valentine’s Day gifts men - as the “American Idol” singer says that she’s not a fan of the lover’s holiday.
“I’m anti-Valentine’s Day. I don’t believe-and this goes for anybody-your man shouldn’t love you for one day out of 365. He should love you 365 days out of the year. I want Valentine’s Day every day,” the 25-year-old told press.

Carrie Underwood ? who I used to kinda sorta like ? made some very stupid comments about the Rihanna/Chris Brown situation. Perhaps she wasn?t thinking before she spoke and didn?t realize the implications her comments could have. But they were insensitive and insulting nonetheless. Underwood told Us Weekly that the pair were fine when they left Clive Davis? Grammy party. And then she urged everyone to withhold judgment.
Carrie Underwood saw Chris Brown and Rihanna at Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy Gala in Beverly Hills on Saturday - hours before Brown allegedly assaulted his girlfriend.
“They were fine at the Grammy party,” Underwood told Usmagazine.com Thursday at the American Idol Experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida.
“I don’t think anybody actually knows what happened,” she added. “I have no advice because, thank goodness, I’ve never been in any kind of abusive situation.”
She told Us she wishes people “would stop” spreading rumors about what led to the incident.
“You hear a new one every five minutes, and some of them are getting kind of ridiculous,” she said. “I really hope everyone will lay off and just let everybody who’s involved figure out everything first.”

Here?s the problematic statement: “I don’t think anybody actually knows what happened.” We do know the basic fact that Rihanna was beaten senseless. She was bitten multiple times. She was choked into unconsciousness. She has black eyes and a split lip. This was a violent, rage-filled act. We know that happened. What Underwood is saying is that we don?t know what happened prior to that, as though there could be an explanation that would justify it. There is absolutely nothing that could have happened that excuses or explains domestic assault. And it?s not Rihanna?s job ? or any woman?s job ? to live her life walking on eggshells so she doesn?t provoke a beating from her boyfriend.
People magazine is even reporting on what Rihanna will have to do to heal from this terrible experience. And People is extraordinarily careful with what they print ? but even they?re not going to placate Chris Brown and act like this is anything other than what it is: hateful, evil, and criminal.
As Rihanna recovers from Sunday morning’s alleged beating by her boyfriend, Chris Brown, the singer will need to tend to more than her bruises. According to experts, a victim must surround herself with people who will not make her feel responsible for what happened. “Friends, family, people who will give you good and positive information and not ask questions like, ‘So, what were you doing?’ ” explains Rita Smith, executive director of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
Adds Sheryl Cates, CEO of the National Domestic Violence Hotline: “I’d say to Rihanna, ‘You did not cause this.’ ”
As her physical wounds heal, Rihanna could still suffer sleeping problems, a change in eating patterns and a lack of concentration, says Smith. “She could also experience an exaggerated startle response,” says Smith. “Somebody raising their hand to say hi near her might bring a reaction.
“This is a normal response to being a victim of violence. Those things will lessen and go away, but they’ll be around for a while,” adds Smith. Joining a support group or speaking with a counselor involved in a domestic violence program can aid in healing, says Sue Else, president of the National Network to End Domestic Violence.
“Feeling like there is safety net around you is going to help that,” says Else. “Feeling like you’re not in this alone ? that you didn’t do anything to cause it.”

This is good information for anyone who has been or is currently a victim of domestic violence. Rihanna is fortunate in that she is not financially dependent on Brown, so in that one respect it is easier for her to leave him. Many women are not so lucky. Hopefully she has good people around to support her ? she?s certainly got the vast majority of the public support. Her career is just going to get better ? whereas Chris Brown is going to learn a very powerful lesson. Hopefully he will learn it through the legal system ? but if not he?ll learn a lesser one through the court of public opinion ? and nonexistent CD sales.
If you are being abused, you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE or visit their website at www.ndvh.org.
