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!!

It's not every day that you see country musicians doing the dougie, but that's exactly what we got at the 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards!

The show got kicked off with an all-star performance of Blake Shelton's Boy's Round Here with a little help from Sheryl Crow, Brad Paisley, Luke Bryan, and Pistol Annies!

Ch-ch-check out the star-studded opening (above)!

The song sticks to it's country roots with lyrics about chewing tobacco and hangin' out at the honky-tonk, but things get a little weird when the boys try to show off their lack of rapping skillz!

That's right! Blake and Sheryl spit some rhymes about being "backwoods legit" and not knowing how to do the dougie, which Luke definitely proves with his awkward dance moves!

Overall, the song was actually a pretty awesome way to open the show, but maybe next time they should keep the rapping to a minimum! LOLz!

Everyone head to your local McDonald's and console your devastated fries — a truck carrying 42,000 pounds of ketchup crashed on the I-80 in Reno, making commuting impossible for a lot of travelers!

Unless they got their be-Heinz in gear and began Hunts for alternate routes! LOLz!

The truck swerved to avoid a collision, hit the center median and then knocked over a light pole that slashed open the trailer. Cleverly, transportation used snow plows to clean it all up! That's actually some quick thinking, as we're sure someone suggested burgers (and someone suggested steak but got slapped by everyone who knows A-1 is better)!

We do have one question though: how do they transport the ketchup in the truck? Was it a giant vat like for gas? Thousands of bottles?

Why isn't anyone explaining this!

Oh wait, they are: it was thousands of individual bottles. Carry on! Ha!

This is a perfect example of why we wish people wouldn't carry guns around!

A 56-year-old man with a permit to carry a concealed firearm accidentally allowed it to fire into his butt during a screening of The Bourne Legacy in a Sparks, Nevada movie theater.

Nobody else was hurt during the incident on Tuesday night, but we imagine some people were pretty terrified when they heard that pop!

He reportedly stood up, apologized for the scare and ran out to seek medical treatment.

Cops arrived on the scene after the suspect had disappeared and later found him at the hospital. He explained that the weapon fell out of his pocket and discharged when it hit the floor.

We understand he was carrying it for protection, but does anyone else see a problem here?

What if this clumsy guy dropped his gun and it fired off into the direction of an innocent bystander? This story could have turned tragic real fast!

For now, the unnamed man is cooperating with police, but may eventually be charged with illegally discharging a firearm. At the very least, he should have that permit to carry a concealed weapon revoked!

Orange you glad her comeback is going so well? Ha!

As it has been so eloquently put in the past, when one has mo' money, one has mo' problems. No one knows this mantra better than Lindsay Lohan, who can't seem to go a whole week without someone coming after her $$$.

This week, a vengeful tanning salon is hot on LiLo's heels, insisting that she cough up the $40K she owes the establishment for keeping her looking so sun-kissed.

Unfortunately, it looks like Newt Gingrich isn't going anywhere…for now.

The GOP contender had two back-to-back losses against his foe Mitt Romney with his most recent being at the Nevada caucus over the weekend.

But, Newt ain't giving up just yet.

He confirms:
