Lil' Wayne has finally found something to keep his damn pants up -- a pair of chaps!
TMZ has learned the rapper will perform at the Country Music Awards tonight alongside Kid Rock. Wayne will be the first major hip-hop artist to take the stage at the CMAs.
Kid and Wayne performed together at the VMAs two months ago. Déjà vu!
No word if Carrie Underwood is going to be on the "Lollipop" remix.

He was awarded an honorary Emmy last night -- but just hours before the telecast, Tommy Smothers wasn't acting too grateful about getting a statuette 40 years too late.

Much like viewers at home, the Emmy Awards left Heidi Klum bruised.

As part of one of a barrage of unfunny skits on last night's show, Tom Bergeron dropped Heidi on stage and left her with a black and blue mark on her hip.
The Emmys -- cruel and unusual punishment on all counts.

One of the shows she appeared on was actually funny.

With the Emmys just around the corner, it can only mean one thing - the cheap stars will be piling into gifting suites to get their sticky paws on some free swag. It doesn't take much for these celebs to sell out.

TMZ caught NFL running back Adrian Peterson carrying more than just a football. Spoiler alert: he won an ESPY!
The Minnesota Viking was leaving LAX with his "Best Breakthrough Athlete" award in a non-jockworthy man purse and even handed it off to fans to pose with. Even the best fumble from time to time.

And the winner for Best Oscar Night Crash goes to ... Karen Baker Landers!
Landers, who won Best Sound Editing last night for "The Bourne Ultimatum," had her ride royally wrecked after another car slammed into her chauffeured town car. She was visibly shaken -- but the accident didn't stop her from proudly showing off her Oscar and posing for pictures as she talked to the cops.
Luckily, nobody was injured.

If looks could kill, last night's Grammys would have been a genocide. With Amy Winehouse rehabbed and Britney under the careful watch of her family, the only train wrecks at this years Grammys were on the red carpet. Take a look at some of the horrors in our gallery.

Hollywood's finest (and not so finest) went out in the rain last night to get their red carpet fix at the SAG Awards -- but what they really needed was a stylist! After missing the Golden Globes, some stars are a little rusty when it comes to putting together a great look. Instead, they settled for these looks -- and a dab of crazazy!

Will Ferrell received the James Joyce Award in Ireland yesterday for his numerous contributions to literature. "Anchorman" didn't write itself, ya know! 
The criteria for the award seems to be vague -- as previous winners include U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix and activist Jesse Jackson.

And you thought American beauty pageants were crazy, bitchtacular dramapaloozas? Try Puerto Rico.
Yesterday, cops revealed that the gown and makeup of the new Miss Puerto Rico, Ingrid Marie Rivera, had been coated with pepper spray during Friday's final competition, giving her hives and forcing her to ice her swollen skin between rounds. Pageant officials are investigating whether a rival had a hand in the peppering, saying in a press conference that a makeup bag belonging to Rivera had been stolen as well. There was no update on the investigation today. Rivera will represent the island in the upcoming 2008 Miss Universe pageant.
Puerto Rico has a history of odd beauty queen breaks. Back in 2006, the then-Miss Puerto Rico, Zuleyka Rivera (no relation), went on to win Miss Universe, and fainted. Boom! There goes the dynamite.

Rumer Willis at the Golden Globes? You betcha!
In fact, the celebuspawn of Bruce and Demi was picked to be this year's Miss Golden Globes -- which means she'll get to help hand out those shiny gold statues. What could possibly go wrong?
Perhaps it will inspire her to make, er, different decisions about her own acting career.
Rumey will next be seen in the comedy "I Know What Boys Like" -- about a Playboy bunny who gets kicked out of the Mansion and joins a sorority.

At BET's Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta last night, Kanye West won "Best Hip-Hop Video" -- and then tried to give it away! Complaining Kanye, who was a major whiner after not winning at this year's MTV Music Video Awards, was suddenly eating humble pie; after accepting the award for his song "Stronger," he tried to give the award to competitors UGK! Ugh!
Kanye accepted the award and then said that UGK's song "International Players," featuring OutKast, was more deserving, and handed the award to OutKast's Big Boi. Is he "stronger," or just "crazier?"
Big Boi handed back the award and told wacky West that he had no reason to be humble. Besides, Big Boi's got plenty awards of his own.
