Well Taylor Swift sure had a good night. The 19 year old country singer swept at the CMA’s ousting co-host Carrie Underwood for Female Vocalist of the Year and shocking all the boys, beating out big names such as Brad Paisley, George Straight, Kenny Chesney, and Keith Urban for Entertainer of the Year, the highest award. Swift immediately started crying once her name was called for Entertainer of the Year, and called her band to come onstage with her during her acceptance speech. “I will never forget this moment because in this moment everything I have ever wanted has just happened to me,” she said, not able to wipe the shell shocked expression of her face.

People.com is reporting that a source has said dancer Julianne Hough and country singer Chuck Wicks have decided to take a break. The source says, “This was mutual. They needed some time apart.” Hough, 21, and Wicks, 30, were first seen in public together at last year’s CMA Awards, walking the red carpet together. Wicks also appeared on last season of Dancing With the Stars, dancing with Hough. The couple had talked marriage on more than one occasion, and just after weeks of dating Hough told People Magazine they “”definitely” wanted to go to the altar someday. The two will both be at the CMA Awards tonight, with Hough as a presenter and Wicks covering the red carpet for Entertainment Tonight.
Delilah Levine has fantasies. About her plumber. Not the usual situation that opens up a chick lit novel, but with off beat characters that make up this story, readers can be assured that they will be laughing while turning the pages. Delilah’s husband, Jason, seems to be less than interested in his wife, spending more and more time at work as a corporate lawyer and picking at every little thing Del does (or doesn’t) do. Their sex life in non-existent and Delilah keeps finding herself having fantasies about the sexy plumber that keeps coming back for “odd” jobs. The story then takes a bizarre twist. Delilah is trying to get established as a soap opera writer, and after she pitches an idea to her boss, accidents keep happening to her, almost like someone is out to get her. The troubling part- the storyline she pitched was regarding a product that her husband’s company is working on. Could he have something to do with all the “accidents” happening to Delilah? And Ford, the plumber- could he really be an undercover FBI agent doubling as a plumber? Does She or Doesn’t She by Alisa Kwitney takes some crazy twists and turns throughout the story, sometimes to confusing to stay focused. With so many secrets and unknown identities, the plot can seem almost too farfetched at times, making it hard to be believable. But the heroine is such a great character with her quirks and fantasies, that she becomes lovable the whole way through. I can’t say this was my favorite book, but still an entertaining read.
