Tue Dec 6 2011 by Erika Brooks Adickman

Carrie Underwood didn’t just clean up at the 2011 American Country Awards, she looked darn good doing it too. The triple ACA winner stepped out in Las Vegas last night in a ravishing white strapless dress. New Artist Of The Year Scotty McCreery posed on the red carpet alongside his lovely American Idol competitor Lauren Alaina. Also turning heads at the ACAs was another Idol alum, Jordin Sparks, who looked fabulous in her form-fitting ensemble. As for country/pop star Taylor Swift, she was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps Billboard’s Woman Of The Year predicted the awards show would be giving her the cold shoulder. Check out the arrival highlights from the MGM Grand. More »

The upcoming Whitney Houston remake Sparkle, detailing the rise and fall of a group loosely based on the Supremes, may have been upstaged by the Beyonce-starring Dreamgirls several years ago, but apparently Whitney's Sparkle revamp has been in the works since long before the release of the film that won Jennifer Hudson an Oscar.
