Women led the nominees for this year’s Academy of Country Music Awards. Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift all received the highest number of nods. Reba McEntire hosts the show which will air on CBS on April 18th.

Jay Leno returned to late night last night with guests Jamie Foxx, Lindsey Vonn and Brad Paisley, but it was shock jock Howard Stern who had the most to say about the show.
