Fairly certain I'm the lone country music fan here at Access, I proudly plopped down, beer and popcorn in hand, to view last night's 70th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards.

First off, whatever Reba's had done (or "hasn't" had done), she's done it well. She looked amazing. The monologue wasn't much to write home about, but then again, watching a country awards show and expecting 30 Rock isn't exactly a reasonable expectation. She's Reba and we love her for her upbeat attitude and crazy grins.

The set was a little 80's-Daytime Emmys-meets-Star Search-meets, well, the ACMs. To me, this OK given the nature of the genre. MTV Moonman statue stage themes and lower-me-from-the-ceiling-in-a-flaming disco ball entertainment stylings wouldn't exactly work when you've got a guy in a cowboy hat singing about backroads and frog-giggin'"

So here are my personal highlights, in no particular order:

4:54 pm – The red carpet is winding down and thankfully there were very few fashion mistakes. The last hour has been all about glamorous style. Leanne rimes made a reappearance in that gorgeous grape creation while super nominee Mary J. Blige opted for gold. We shall see if it brings her luck tonight.

Among the last few attendees rushing in? A sparkling Nelly Furtado, a blushing pink adorned Christina Aguilera and a Versace wearing Christina Ricci whose only stop on the fashion red carpet was for our own Stacy London.

"I love you Stacy gushed."

"I love you! I read your book," Ricci cried as she ran to give Stacy a hug.

The carpet is about to close and we're rushing to our seats. Thanks for tuning in. Check back all night for more Grammy news, pictures and scoops.

Once again, the annual HBO pre-Golden Globe party, held on January 13, at the Chateau Marmont, brought out the stars. And among those spotted was the elusive Sascha Baron "Borat" Cohen, along with his fiancee Isla Fisher.

Cohen repeatedly asked fans and photographers hired by HBO not to take any pictures of him. In fact, when one house photographer snapped a shot of him, Cohen darted over to the offending lensman and told him to immediately delete the digital shot. The photog said he told Cohen, "Yeah, right" and kept the photo anyway. Nor did Cohen care to speak "Kazakh" when yours truly spoke to him in a fluent version of his "Kazakh," which is actually Hebrew.
