Country superstar Carrie Underwood apologized after Sunday night’s Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas, after making an off-the-cuff sexual joke towards Matthew McConaughey, who had just presented her with the coveted ‘Entertainer of the Year’ award.

McConaughey told this gem of a story before presenting the award to a shocked Underwood:

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.”

Underwood, accepted the award, and caught up in the moment said, “I don’t know what to say. I got nothin’ … I want to see those boots, Matthew.”

The audience was a bit shocked, including McConaughey’s girlfriend Camila Alves, upon hearing the joke.  Underwood was very quick to apologize and embarrassed about the incident backstage.

“I’m so embarrassed, I totally embarrassed myself. I just blanked,” Underwood told Tarts 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.”

Oh, I say no harm, no foul!  Carrie was just playing along and being funny with Matthew’s story. No real need for Alves, the audience, or anybody to get upset about an innocent lil’ joke.

There is so much pressure on celebrities to be politically correct today that we are sucking the life out of their personalities and freedom of speech.

Free spirited actor Matthew McConaughey plans to plant the placenta from his son Levi’s birth in an orchard according to a recent interview.

“It’s going to be in the orchards and it’s going to bear some wonderful fruit,” he says, according to an interview transcript. “When I was in Australia, they had a placenta tree that was on the river … and all the placentas of all that tribe, all that clan, whatever aboriginal tribe that was, all the placentas went under that one tree and it was this huge behemoth of just health and strength.

“This tree was just growing taller and stronger above the rest of Mother Nature around it. It was gorgeous.”

This is not an unusual practice. Interested in doing it for your newborn? If so check out eHow’s page on ‘How to Plant a Placenta’.

More Photos of Matt and Camila Alves

Matthew McConaughey and his girlfriend Camila Alves have let the rest of the world see their baby boy, Levi Alves, on the cover of the new issue of OK! magazine and the photo spread within the pages.

Matthew, on the cover is quoted as saying, “I want my son to be a little cooler than me.”

McConaughey tells OK! magazine that the experience was a lot bloodier and pukey than he imagined but a wild and beautiful thing.

“We ended up having an epidural because, on the large contractions, the umbilical cord was being compressed. They went in and tried the vacuum. This is where I learned — and no one tells you this — but having a baby is a bloody, pukey, sweaty, primeval thing! And I mean that as a beautiful thing. It is wild. But the vacuum didn’t work, and the doctor said, ‘C-section.’

The Texas-born actor says he cut the umbilical cord in “one snip” and got to hold his son for the first 15 minutes while doctors worked on Camila. Both he and the Brazilian beauty — who waited to know the sex of their baby — say they were not surprised to find out they had a boy.

The couple waited to find out the sex of their child and in typical McConaughey fashion Matthew explains the first moment he knew he was a boy.

“I said, ‘Come here, little man. I saw the pecker and screamed that we’d been right all along about him being a boy. Then I brought him over to her [Camila],’ Matthew said.

The issue is on news stands now and still 50 cents cheaper than People.  Be sure to pick up a copy to see the extensive photo spread within.

Matthew McConaughey took time away from his newborn baby Levi Alves McConaughey to explain to OK! Magazine how he and Camila Alves came up with the baby’s first name.  It is rather easy to figure out the origin of Levi’s middle name.

Explaining how they came up with the name for their baby boy, Matthew tells OK!, “Levi was another name for the apostle Matthew in The Bible. They were, in fact, two names for the same person.

“Our son was born at 6:22 pm, and this particular time represents my favorite verse in the book of Matthew in The Bible: ‘If thy eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light.’”

Baby Levi’s middle name is taken directly from his mother Camila’s last name. “We wanted to incorporate her family name,” explains the proud new father.

Where does Matthew’s sudden Christianity come from?  It is hard to say but in April of 2007 he was spotted on his stationary bike reading Lee Strobel’s The Case for Christ.

Another interesting tidbit is that Levi’s initials are L.A.M.  and in the New Testament one of the titles given to Jesus Christ was ‘Lamb of God.’

Matthew McConaughey is the father of a baby boy. McConaughey’s girlfriend Camila Alves gave birth in Los Angeles on Monday night to a boy weighing 7 pounds - 4 ounces.

Matthew McConaughey and girlfriend of two years Camila Alves have welcomed a son Monday night, his rep Alan Nierob confirms to PEOPLE. The baby – the first child for both – was born at 6:22 p.m. in Los Angeles, weighing in at 7 lbs., 4 oz.

Congrats to Matt and Camila! I am sure they have hired good help to take care of the youngen’.

No word just yet if they named him Lance.

UPDATE:  And His Name Shall Be Levi Alves McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey’s girlfriend, Camilla Alves, is sporting what looks like an engagement ring out in public in France.

While in Paris to shoot an ad for fashion label Dolce & Gabbana, Matthew McConaughey’s gal pal, Brazilian model Camilla Alves, was spotted wearing a particularly shiny ring on her left ring finger.

Say it ain’t so Mateo! You have to remain strong for all of those that have ever forfeited their bachelorhood. Please just make a public statement saying you didn’t frost Camilla.  If true, you have to end this Matty. Your workout buddy Lance Armstrong dumped Sheryl Crow for you.

Matthew McConaughey has signed on to star in ‘Tropic Thunder‘, replacing Owen Wilson, who backed out after a suicide attempt last month.

Wilson dropped out of the DreamWorks movie after an apparent suicide attempt last month.

“Tropic Thunder,” which is filming in Hawaii, stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr., Nick Nolte, Bill Harder and Steve Coogan.  Stiller is also directing.

What? No hot co-star actress for McConaughey to hook up with on the set?  This will have to change.

Matthew McConaughey lives the life the way any celebrity with means should. Here he is seen on his stationary bike, outside his mobile home he has parked right on the beach in Malibu, reading ‘The Case for Christ‘ by Lee Strobel. I read the book a couple of years back. Stroebel, as an atheist, set out to prove that Jesus Christ didn’t exist. By the end of his research and writing of this book he was a Christian.

A special report in the Los Angeles Times shows that Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz could very well have been part of the reason that the much-hyped, over budged Sahara sunk at the box office.

Here is some of the excessive costs that Matthew and Penelope ran up:

Penelope’s hairstylist — $135,550
Penelope’s dialogue coach — $125,804
Matt’s Personal trainer — $67,977
Matt’s Personal Chef — $48,893

Penelope is not even a good actress. Why does she continue to get roles in Hollywood, and why do they continue to pay tens of thousands of dollars for a dialouge coach for her. There are so many young, talented actresses in Hollywood that are so much better and can already speak the language.

Being a male and in a swimsuit it can be virtually impossible to mess it up from a fashion sense, but actor Matthew McConaughey seems to a) probably just having fun and toying with the paparazzi or b) he is totally color blind. Either way he is our ‘Worst Dressed Celeb of the Day‘.
