Carrie Underwood was overwhelmed to have won Entertainer of the Year at the American Country Music Awards on Sunday night, but the moment did turn a little mortifying when she made a sexual reference joke to wanting to see Matthew McConaughey’s "boots" in her acceptance speech.

The Texas-born actor presented Underwood with the big award, but before his official duties he entertained the audience with a story on how he and his brother once took a road trip thru Texas to see Dwight Yoakam perform. While there the brothers tried to "pick up" a few ladies by telling them that they made a livin’ exclusively custom-making George Strait’s boots.

"We’re like, ’Oh yeah. Say, as I a matter of fact, out in the parking lot, in the trunk of our white Corvette, we have the next year’s new edition white ostrich quill George Strait signed series that he’s gonna wear on tour next year.’ And they got pretty excited about that and said, ’Well, can we see? Can we see? Can we see?’" McConaughey told the audience. "And we obliged … Point of the story is, we got lucky that night. Thank you, George."

After taking the trophy from McConaughey, a tearful Underwood caused jaws to drop when she said:

"I don’t know what to say. I got nothin’ … I want to see those boots, Matthew."

"I’m so embarrassed, I totally embarrassed myself. I just blanked," Underwood said backstage, burying her head in her hands. "You want to say something eloquent in a moment like that and I embarrassed myself. I’m sorry Matthew, I’m sorry to my family. I’m totally embarrassed."

Mathew gets that all the time. He doesn’t even have to use the boot line anymore, he just walks up to girls and says "hi I’m
Matthew McConaughey." That’s probably how he met Camila Alves.

Carrie Underwood was at the Senators versus Predators hockey game yesterday watching her boyfriend Mike Fisher. When Carrie realize she was on the jumbotron she freaked out, ducked and covered.

Why the overreaction? A smile would have been nice.

Country singer Carrie Underwood (25), and Ottawa Senators centre Mike Fisher (28) are dating.

The romance apparently began after Mr. Fisher, went backstage following Ms. Underwood’s March 21, 2008 concert at Scotiabank Place where she performed before 7,700 country fans. The couple hit it off, say observers, and then began dating some time after their initial meeting.

Ms. Underwood, was at the Sens-Toronto Maple Leafs game Saturday night, January 3, where the Jumbotron “Hug Cam” at the Air Canada Centre spotted her in a private VIP box hugging two people sitting next to her. Mr. Fisher’s parents and his brother, Bud, also a hockey player, were in the box watching the team go down to the Leafs in a 3-1 battle.

Hopefull if this relationship doesn’t work out, Underwood won’t end it by text message like she did with Chase Crawford.

Jessica Simpson was on 107.5 The River when she responded to a Carrie Underwood statement in Allure magazine that said Tony Romo still calls Carrie, who is Tony’s ex girlfriend. Jessica said:

"Tony and I both laughed at that. We got a chuckle out of it. I know it’s not true, I looked at his call log. I’m kidding!"

She’s not kidding. Jessica doesn’t trust Tony. He should have left when the getting was good.

Jessica also revealed something Tony has to put up with while he dates Jessica in the video above. Jessica likes to fart under the sheets. Does Jessica think that farting turns guys on?

Teri Hatcher performed a Carrie Underwood song last night with The Band from TV on Idol Gives Back. Terri is a really good singer, for an actress.
