Taylor Swift was the big winner at last night’s CMT Music Awards, walking away (for the second consecutive year) with both the evening’s top honor, the Video of the Year Award, as well as the trophy for Female Video of the Year. Taylor joins Keith Urban and Toby Keith as the only three artists to win twice for Video of the Year."I wore a corset for two days straight in the middle of summer, and I learned to waltz,” Taylor said after her big wins. “I want to thank the fans from the bottom of my heart for giving me awards for that!"Taylor performed twice on last night’s show. On “You Belong With Me,” the Golden Girls dance team from Hendersonville (TN) High (where Taylor attended high school) joined Taylor and her band and dancers for a high-energy production number. Taylor closed the show by joining the UK’s premier arena rock band, Def Leppard, for an electrifying rendition of “Pour Some Sugar On Me.”Additionally, Taylor opened the show with a hilarious clip of “Thug Story,” a rap performed with T-Pain. Watch it here: http://www.cmt.com/videos/misc/401599/thug-story.jhtml?id=1614098.Following last night’s show, the Los Angeles Times raved, “The Taylor Swift award show reign begins. The night was largely a showcase for the young star, who still seems to be on the rise despite already being the top-selling artist of 2008. Her 2008 album "Fearless" has already sold more than 3.3 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan, and with a sold-out tour, as well as the ability to not take herself too seriously, Swift further set herself up for a massive number of nominations come Grammy time at the end of this year.”Taylor’s CMT Awards performance with Def Leppard reprised their 2008 CMT Crossroads concert, one of the most successful in the series’ franchise. The show proved so popular that CMT has partnered with Taylor’s record label, Big Machine, for the first-ever Crossroads DVD release.

This 10 million number represents actual full albums sold – in addition, Taylor has sold over 20 million paid song downloads, more than any artist in country music history.19-year old Taylor, who writes all of her own material, released her now quadruple-platinum self-titled debut CD in October of 2006 on Big Machine Records, and followed it up with the Fearless album two years later. Fearless was the country’s top selling album for the first 33 weeks of this year, and now has sales of more than 4 million copies in the US and Gold and Platinum certifications in fourteen countries spanning five continents.

Taylor Swift and Timbaland?!

hsm-updates@hotmail.com (Hsm-Updates) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 09:24:00 +0000

Taylor Swift is all over the place….but this time, someone else is eyeing her up….Timbaland has set his sights on a Taylor-collaboration.
The super-producer is eyeing a collaboration with Taylor Swift. “I think the main person I want to get is Taylor Swift,” he told RadarOnline.com. “I love her voice. I just think me and her can do something amazing.”
Apparently the only thing preventing it at this point is scheduling….But Timbaland ensures that country won’t be lost….
Fans can expect a fusion of hip-hop and country if and when the unlikely pair come together. “It would have a country swing, but just a little bit of me. I know how to do that real good.”

Zac Efron Caught Kissing A Guy?

hsm-updates@hotmail.com (Hsm-Updates) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 07:42:00 +0000

Hollywood Backwash might be surprised at these unearthed photos, but we're not! What's good for the goose is good for the gander - so if Vanessa can have naughty pictures on the internet, is seems that so can Zac. This isn't going to help dispel the already-rampant rumors about Zac's sexual orientation, though.....

This one made us say WOW! Disney can’t seem to keep a leash on their young stars these days. We’re starting to wonder if they encourage them to leak pictures like this for the hype.

This time it’s High School Musical’s resident cutie Zac Efron in the spotlight. Zac’s sexuality has been questioned a bit in the past and this new picture just adds fuel to the gay fire. Do you think Disney is ready for a gay star?

High School heart throb Zac Efron is getting into the high school spirit.Seen here: It appears Efron may be gay? From what appears to be a gay kissing scandal on his hand, no word from his camp. The photo has not been confirmed. Just recently it was brought to light and found on the internet.

Miley Cyrus Coming Back as 'Hannah Montana'

hsm-updates@hotmail.com (Hsm-Updates) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 07:35:00 +0000

The Disney Channel has ordered a fourth season of it series "Hannah Montana," starring teen sensation Miley Cyrus.

Production on the show's current season is wrapping this week and shooting will resume early next year, the cable channel announced Monday.

In announcing the decision, a statement said: "Miley and the producers have proposed a change of setting for Season Four that will provide the catalyst for wonderful new characters and further expand the storytelling opportunities."

The popular series was also made into a film, 'Hannah Montana: The Movie,' which launched in April. The movie won Miley an MTV award for Best Song, "The Climb," which was presented to her last night at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards.

Miley Cyrus movie starts filming in Ga. next week

hsm-updates@hotmail.com (Hsm-Updates) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 07:34:00 +0000

TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. (AP) — Tybee Island has landed a starring role in the new Miley Cyrus movie, and audiences seeing the film next year won't have to wait for the credits to find out the name of the beach town filling the screen.
Location managers for the movie "The Last Song," which starts filming on Tybee next week, told residents at a town meeting Monday that the island proved too unique to masquerade as Wrightsville Beach, N.C.
Novelist Nicholas Sparks, who wrote the movie's script, initially set the story in Wrightsville and Wilmington, N.C. But filmmakers persuaded him to change the location to Tybee Island and neighboring Savannah so they could include local landmarks such as the island's towering lighthouse and the oak-shaded squares in Savannah's historic district.
"We had a hard time trying to hide the fact that this was Tybee and Savannah was Savannah," Bass Hampton, the film's location director, told about 80 residents at Tybee city hall.
The movie features 16-year-old Cyrus, the star of "Hannah Montana," as a teenage girl struggling with her parents' divorce who tries to reconnect with her father during a summer at his home in a quiet beach town.
Filming starts Monday on Tybee Island, 12 miles east of Savannah, and is expected to stretch into mid-August.
The Walt Disney Co. had considered making the film in North Carolina, but ultimately chose Georgia because the state offered a better incentive package. Local officials estimate the production will bring $8 million in direct spending to the area during the next two months.
Having Tybee Island's name on the screen — on signs for a beach festival and emblazoned on police cars and fire trucks — should make for an even bigger payday after the movie hits theaters in 2010, said Diane Schleicher, Tybee's city manager.
"When the film releases, the impact on the economy here is going to be immense," Schleicher said.
Still, there will be some drawbacks for the island's 3,400 residents.
Hampton said filmmakers will spend several days shooting at the island's fishing pier, which will mean closing the attraction to visitors periodically, and roadblocks will go up around the beach house being used as a location.
Tybee resident Monty Parks, who opened an Internet cafe near the pier a few months ago, said he hopes to sell plenty of lattes to the film crew and gawking tourists.
"If you're somebody who wants Tybee to stay out of the limelight, you're going to be broken-hearted," Parks said. "I think there's going to be a lot of people here. It's going to be great for me."

Jonas Brothers Postpone Mexican Shows Over Swine Flu Concerns?

hsm-updates@hotmail.com (Hsm-Updates) — Sat, 16 May 2009 18:51:00 +0000

The Jonas Brothers are pushing back a scheduled concert performance in Mexico, says a report.

According to Billboard.com, the rock trio has moved their May 17 concert at Arena Monterrey in Mexico to July.
The Web site for the arena lists the new Jonas Brothers show date and times, listing an afternoon and a night performance on July 31.
According to Billboard, the venue explained the postponement on their Web site, saying it was "due to health precautions in the whole country as a consequence of the outbreak of the A(H1N1) flu."
"We know the situation is stabilizing and that many fans travel long distances to live the experience of seeing a Jonas Brothers concert," the statement read on the venue's Web site, according to Billboard. "That is why we hope that your experience and your enjoyment of the concert will be as pleasant as possible."
The venue will honor the May 17 tickets for the two shows scheduled for July, says Billboard.
