CMAs postcard: Tim and Faith's Nashville bashCMA awards week is officially underway, and superstar couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill kicked it off with a party.

Brett Ratner apologizes for gay slurAccording to New York Magazine's Vulture, "Tower Heist" director Brett Ratner has apologized for remarking that "rehearsal is for fags" at a premiere over the weekend. Ratner told The Wrap, "I apologize for any offense my remarks caused. It was a dumb way of expressing myself. Everyone who knows me knows that I don’t have a prejudiced bone in my body. But as a storyteller I should have been much more thoughtful about the power of language and my choice of words." But is that enough? The director is slated to produce the Oscars, but some critics are campaigning to have him dismissed from the job. 'New Girl's' Jake Johnson on Jess and Nick's relationshipAfter last week’s “New Girl,” in which Jess (Zooey Deschanel) walked in on a naked Nick (Jake Johnson) and saw his “bing-bong," it's safe to say that their friendship has reached a new level of awkwardness.

'DWTS': Guess who nabbed two perfect scoresLast night's "Dancing With the Stars" featured two routines for each of the five remaining couples: An individual dance followed by an "instant" jive the celebrities learned less than an hour before the actual routine. The first individual dance went to Rob Kardashian, who tackled the quickstep. Last week was a good one for Rob, as he finished second in scoring and moved ahead of Kim in the family popularity chart. Can he keep the momentum going, especially after dancing to a song that screams "iconic '80s" like a-ha's "Take On Me"? Soundcheck: Jason Aldean is having a momentIt's been a breakthrough year for Jason Aldean. His fourth studio album, "My Kinda Party," is the best-selling country disc of 2011, and Wednesday he heads into "The 45th CMA Awards" with a whopping five nominations, including Album of the Year, Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year.
