Friday round up

Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus — the hottest father-daughter duo on the planet right now - host the 2008 "CMT Awards," airing live from Nashville, Tenn., at 7 p.m. Monday on CMT.

Brad Paisley and Sugarland, with four apiece, lead the list of nominees. They are both vying for the night's highest honor - Video of the Year. Paisley is there for "Online," directed by "Seinfeld" co-star Jason Alexander; Sugarland is represented with "Stay."

Britney Spears was so moved by the "Idol Gives Back" telethon on Wednesday night, she donated $25,000. She is such a sweet heart. =o)

Lindsay Lohan is still trying to get her career back on track. Besides Ye Olde Times with Jack Black, supposedly she's taking on an indie movie called Florence. Rumor has it that she will, in one segment, appear totally naked for the film to help prove that she's a serious actress.

*~*~*~*

Vanilla Ice was arrested on a domestic battery charge. The "rapper," real name Robert Van Winkle, pushed his wife during an argument. He's in jail pending a trial Friday morning. I shouldn't laugh, abuse is not cool, but this just seems funny to me.

*~*~*~*

After competing against 150 other aspiring directors over several months and across multiple rounds, Lauren Marie Pena has been named the 2007 Breakout Filmmaker by Project Breakout, the premiere online video competition community.

*~*~*~*

And the latest in fun celebrity news is a rumor that Javier Bardem, 39, proposed to Penelope Cruz, 34, and a wedding sometimes this year is planned. Can anyone confirm this?

Bardem and Cruz will appear together in a film version of the Broadway musical Nine.
