Take a spin through the world (outside of Idol) of music today. More »

The CMT Awards Take “One-Hit Wonder” Jokes To An Uncomfortable New Level
Last night’s CMT Music Awards–the country-music television network’s version of its sister network MTV’s Video Music Awards–veered into “a little more than slightly excruciating” territory when co-host Miley Cyrus tripped her way through a Taylor Swift intro in which she talked about texting the glittery-guitar-hoisting country protege incessantly, an endless setup to what would be one of many “ha ha, Dad, I’m paying your bills!” zingers that the Hannah Montana star sent in the direction of her father/svengali, “Achy Breaky Heart” singer Billy Ray Cyrus. (Yes, he performed the line dance that sent him and his mullet to stardom back in 1992, the same year his cash cow was sired.) The opening skit, in which Trace Adkins and his really greasy mop tried currying favor with everyone from Donald Trump to the three remaining Presidential candidates in order to get passes to the show, also mined that route; its final punchline was that Billy Ray was making extra scratch by scalping tickets, which were of course hot properties because of his daughter’s presence. That girl is going to be so messed up in three years. Full list of winners–which includes three awards for Kellie Pickler, two for Taylor Swift, and one for that super-creepy video where Jon Bon Jovi and Leann Rimes make out–after the jump.

Billy Ray Cyrus Rewrites “Butterfly Kisses” For His Daughter
If you’re worried about where your next Hannah Montana fix will come from, fear not! 20/20 has got you covered tonight at 9, when the two most famous Cyruses sit down with Deborah Roberts to discuss “Hannah Montana, Hollywood Bad Girls and More.” The “and More” likely refers to the calculation of the precise moment at which Miley Cyrus becomes disillusioned with the Disney Channel and starts dating a member of Panic! At the Disco out of spite. Or maybe it just means Billy Ray’s new single, “Ready, Set, Don’t Go,” a wistful, ambivalent tribute to his daughter’s freakish rise to stardom:
