Tonight, much of Nashville kicked up their heels and moseyed over to MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas where the Academy of Country Music Awards were presented. Reba McEntire hosted the show and one of the more memorable moments was when Matthew McConaughey was presenting Brad Paisley with the Top Male Vocalist Award, and in true McConaughey fashion, MMc revealed, “This is my second time here. I had a really good time last year…After the show last year, my lady and I, Camilla, we even went back to the hotel and conceived the little lady who is now our daughter, Vida Alves McConaughey. That’s a true story. Now I’m back and I’m having a good time but I promise you me and Camilla are gonna try and not get so lucky this year. Two is enough. We’re flush for awhile.” TMI!!
