It was a HUGE night for country music at the 2013 ACM Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada!

Blake Shelton and his partner in crime Luke Bryan proved to be the perfect hosts for a night that was full of amazing, all-star performances!

Miranda Lambert was the big winner of the night, taking home three trophies including Female Vocalist of the Year while Luke took home the big prize of Entertainer of the Year!

The night certainly honored some of the biggest names in the industry, but one of the biggest surprises was Taylor Swift walking away without any awards despite five nominations! We guess she'll just have to wait for the Grammys next year!

Want to know who else went home with a trophy? Ch-ch-check out the full list of winners…AFTER THE JUMP!!

Lady Justice has spoken!

Rebekah Brooks, the former News International CEO, has been charged in the News of the World phone hacking scandal.

While her hubby Charlie and four others have been charged, she is facing the most trouble with three charges of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice!

The maximum penalty is life behind bars, but the average

Talk about a life sentence!

Chief, a wolf-dog hybrid, was on death row after neighbors complained about his aggressive behavior.

Now, he'll be guarding death row!

A Louisiana judge signed an order for the pooch to join Louisiana's maximum security prison team.

The prison sits on an 18,000 acre farm, so Chief will have lots of room to roam and police.

And he has the perfect name for the job!

With Chief on duty, we wouldn't want to get on his bad side now!

This is truly one of man's best friends!

As reported earlier, Chris Klein has been fighting alcoholism and he's 19 months sober.

And he couldn't have done it without his pooch!

Chris says his German Sheperd, Chief, would bark and become agitated whenever he picked up alcohol.

He states the following:

He began to recognize the behavior shift in me when [I drank] alcohol and his behavior would change. Anybody that has a meaningful relationship with a dog will understand that the disappointment that I saw in his eyes, [it was] insurmountable.

On a Sunday I don't wake up hung over. I sit in my dining room with the sun coming in through my garden. Then it's Chief and me for the day, jogging on the beach, hitting the hiking trails.

Thanks, Chief, for getting Chris on the right path!

This truly is a miracle!

Despite being in critical condition after a near-fatal gunshot wound to the head less than a week ago, U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was reported to have opened her eyes for the first time yesterday, while surrounded by her husband, parents, and other members of Congress!

Sen. Kristen Gillibrand recounted that shortly after President Obama visited the Congresswoman in her hospital room, she sat down and held her hand, to which Giffords responded by squeezing back.

She explains:

"It was extraordinary. It was a miracle to witness. She absolutely could hear everything we were saying. And Debbie (Wasserman Schultz, D-Florida) and I were telling her how much she was inspiring the nation with her courage, her strength, and we were talking about the things we wanted to do as soon as she was better."

However, it was when Wasserman Schultz mentioned wanting her to come visit his vacation home, that Giffords eyes began to open.

She recalled telling her:

"'Come on, you've got to get better, because we expect you up in New Hampshire this summer.' And just as I said that, that's when she suddenly was struggling to open… her eyes. First just a little bit. And the doctors couldn't believe it. They said, 'This is such a good time.' Other than the birth of my kids, this was the most incredible feeling, to see literally one of your closest friends struggle to come to you, her family, her friends. We know how strong Gabby is….You could see all the strength pouring out of her to touch her husband."

Gillibrand continued:

"She took a moment to focus, you could see she was focusing. And then Mark said … 'Gabby, if you can see me, if you can see me, give us a thumbs-up … She didn't only give a thumbs-up, she literally raised her entire hand. We were just — we couldn't stop crying … It was just one of those moments that life brings you so rarely."

Furthermore, Gillibrand says, she was able to reach out to her husband "and is touching him and starts to really choke him like she was really trying to hug him, and she touches his ring, then she grabs his whole watch and wrist and then the doctor was just so excited, he said, 'You don't understand…this is amazing what she is doing right now and beyond our greatest hopes.' She wanted to tell us, 'I'm with you.'"

Dr. Michael Lemole, chief of neurosurgery, revealed that she's been opening her eyes with more frequency since that first time, and concluded:

"This is all very encouraging…It is a significant move forward. This is the part that doctors, I think, have the hardest time with — those intangibles in medicine. Miracles happen every day…A lot of medicine is outside our control."

Hearing this wonderful news actually brings us to tears!

This woman has truly proved that she is a fighter, and our thoughts and best-wishes will continue to be with her as she beats all of the odds that have been put against her!

You can overcome this, bb! The entire nation believes in you!

This just keeps getting more and more awful.

New details are emerging about murdered Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen, some of which support the belief that she may have been slain by a contract killer!

Sources close to Chasen revealed that she suspected that she was being followed - since last year's Academy Awards!

Insiders explain:

"Ronni said in March she suspected she was being followed, but didn't know by whom. She said she was scared. Some people close to her believe it was a hit, but nobody knows why."

Former LAPD chief William J. Bratton continues:

"This is a real Hollywood whodunnit. Four days in we still have no idea [what happened]. Nobody seems to have come up with anything substantive as far as motive goes. Beverly Hills has very few homicides, so every resource they have will be focused on this."

Meanwhile, Lt. Tony Lee of the Beverly Hills police department maintains:

"People are coming out with all types of theories. But we will not rule out anything until the perpetrator is found."

Unbelievable, tragic, and honestly, we have no idea what to believe at all.

We just hope that whomever's responsible for such a disgusting act will be discovered and brought to justice.

May Ronni rest in peace.

HA! Only in Seaside Heights!

Now that the cast of Jersey Shore is back filming at the actual Jersey Shore, they're up to their old tricks - but this time around, with a lot more pandimonium!

We're hearing that The Situation caused a little bit of a riot recently - the reality guido was dancing on the balcony of the Aztec Hotel and caused a crowd of 3,000 people to gather on the streets - a crowd that became violent when he removed his shirt!

It escalated into chaos so quickly that the Chief of Police had to personally ask The Situation to cover up!

Holy shiz! 3,000 people gathering for our most beloved Snooki is one thing, but for HIM??

We get that his body is pretty ripped, but doesn't his busted face even out the hawtness factor??

What do U think?? Is The Situation worthy of causing a riot??
