Kenny Chesney still holds the title of Entertainer of the Year. The singer won the award for the fourth year in a row at Sunday night's 43rd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas. This is the first year fans voted for the category winner. Chesney thanked his supporters for the honor, but later criticized the voting process, saying it has become "a sweepstakes to see who can push people's buttons the hardest on the Internet." That's according to a People magazine report. Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift and Brad Paisley also took home awards.
Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are now a married couple. The pair reportedly exchanged vows this weekend at Simpson's parents' home. The 23-year-old singer walked down the aisle in a Monique Lhuillier wedding gown and William Noble jewels. Simpson's sister, Jessica, was the maid of honor and her father, Joe, performed the ceremony. One hundred fifty people attended the Alice in Wonderland-themed wedding. One guest described the ceremony to E! News, saying it was "very moving."
"The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" starring Ben Barnes, Georgie Henley and William Moseley is topping U.S. box offices. The film took in more than $56 million in ticket sales during its opening weekend, bumping "Iron Man" with Robert Downey Jr. to the No. 2 spot. "What Happens in Vegas" with Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher rounds out the weekend's top three. That's all according to Box Office Mojo.
Meanwhile, celebrities stepped out in Cannes this weekend for the world premiere of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." The film's stars, Harrison Ford and Cate Blanchett, were on hand for the screening. Director Steven Spielberg and producer George Lucas also showed up for their film's premiere. Other attendees included actresses Goldie Hawn and Salma Hayjek, and filmmaker Michael Moore.
The upcoming movie musical "Nine" has a new star. Daniel Day-Lewis is reportedly slated to take on the leading role, just weeks after Javier Bardem decided to give it up. Day-Lewis will play an Italian film director who struggles to find intersections among his art, love life and religion. Marion Cotillard, Sophia Loren and Penelope Cruz will all be part of the supporting cast. "Nine" is set to be released next year.
