The 2012 CMA Awards winners all had a big year in their own way, and the Nov. 1 awards show is the perfect way to celebrate -- completed only by new metal statues for the mantle.
Here's a look at some notable birthdays being celebrated today:
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Age: 65
Occupation: Politician and Diplomat
Known For: Currently serving as the U.S. Secretary of State, being a former senator from New York, serving as the first lady when her husband Bill Clinton was president, and being one of the most forgiving wives in history
It seems like down-to-earth country couple Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman are coming... well, back down to earth. The duo is reportedly selling their 3,248 sq. ft. New York City duplex, which is located on the top floor of the apartment building.
Kenny Rogers' ballad 'Lucille' may be one of his most well-known works, but in his new book, Luck or Something Like It, Rogers says at least one person very close to him wasn't amused by the song when it first released.
Could Keith Urban's tenure as a judge on the new-look 'American Idol' be over before it starts?
Darius Rucker became the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry last, inducted into the family by his friend Vince Gill.
What's remarkable about Hunter Hayes's three singles -- including his newest, 'Somebody's Heartbreak' -- is the consistency. There is nothing amateur about this country newcomer. All three fly flat along a bar raised high above the reach of many Nashville singers, both young and old.
One could make a convincing argument that Keith Urban's 'Golden Road' is the most important record of his career... And one of the most important records of the decade. Urban's sophomore album has sold over three million copies, while landing four songs on top of Billboard's country charts (including 'You Look Good in My Shirt,' which wasn't released until 2008). A fifth single, 'Raining on a Sunday' peaked at No. 3.
There were some wild country music headlines this week, but all news wasn't bad news for the format's biggest stars. Keith Urban was caught in the middle of an expletive-filled feud between his 'American Idol' judging partners. Taylor Swift was caught in the middle of mean-spirited pranksters and a school for the deaf. At least one of these stories had a happy ending.
American Idol is in Baton Rouge today, shooting promo videos, as well as auditions for season 12!
