Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift score CMT Music Awards nominationsComments (1) April 27, 2011 |  3:33pm

Acts such as Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood are virtual certainties when it comes to the 2011 CMT Music Awards, which announced its nominations Wednesday morning.

But Justin Bieber?

The pop phenomenon scored his first-ever country nod for his collaboration with Rascal Flatts on a reworked version of his track "That Should Be Me" for his EP, “Never Say Never –- The Remixes.”

Nominated in the collaborative video of the year category, Biebs is up against the Jason Aldean (who leads with four nominations) and Kelly Clarkson duet "Don't You Wanna Stay”; Kid Rock’s Sheryl Crow-assisted "Collide"; Aaron Lewis’ "Country Boy," which features George Jones and Charlie Daniels;  and the Loretta Lynn, Miranda Lambert and Crow team-up, "Coal Miner's Daughter."

Swift trailed behind Aldean with three nods. Her video for "Mine" is vying for best web video of the year, a new category going to online performances of songs, female video of the year and video of the year.

Underwood is up for two trophies, with her video for "Undo It" up for female video of the year and video of the year.

Winners are determined by fan votes. The show takes place June 8 in Nashville, Tenn.

Quick Takes: Taylor Swift CD comes with a bonus - Los Angeles Times

Swift CD with a bonus

Taylor Swift is the latest act to offer bonus album content to an exclusive retailer.

The country superstar is aligning herself with Target Corp. for the release of her latest album, "Speak Now." The store will offer fans three additional songs, remixed tunes and video content when the album is released Oct. 25.

"Speak Now" is the follow-up to her Grammy-winning, multiplatinum CD "Fearless."

U.S. album sales set all-time low

Album sales in the United States plunged to a record low last week for the third time this year, Billboard reported Wednesday. For the year as a whole, sales are 13% lower than the same time last year, the trade publication said.

The best seller for the week was Sara Bareilles' "Kaleidoscope Heart," which tallied 89,500 units sold, Billboard said. Eminem's "Recovery" moved 81,000 to rank second.

Total album sales for the week were 4.83 million, the lowest weekly figure since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991, Billboard said. The previous low was 4.95 million, set only a month ago.

Locals to mark 'Misfits' at 50

Toni Westbrook-VanCleave was only 6 at the time, but she still remembers Marilyn Monroe strapping on a toy gun belt and playing cowboys and Indians with her brother during a break in filming of "The Misfits" in the then-small town of Dayton, Nev. VanCleave was a $10-a-day extra during a rodeo scene.

In testimony to the public's enduring fascination with Monroe, VanCleave and other locals will gather Saturday and Sunday in Dayton, about 40 miles southeast of Reno, to mark the 50th anniversary of filming for the last complete movie for both Monroe and Clark Gable.

The celebration will include a Monroe and Gable look-alike contest, a display of photographs of the stars taken in Dayton, a session of old-timers' reminiscences about the filming, and tours of the old bar where a light-hearted scene was shot of Monroe playing paddleball to the delight of male patrons.

Book honors for Wolfe, 'Sesame'

For at least one night, Tom Wolfe will share billing with one of the founders of "Sesame Street."

The National Book Foundation announced Wednesday that the author of such bestsellers as "The Right Stuff" and "The Bonfire of the Vanities" will receive an honorary National Book Award for lifetime achievement.

The foundation said a special prize for outstanding service to the American literary community also will be given to Joan Ganz Cooney. Cooney's research on television and education helped inspire the beloved children's program "Sesame Street."

Nominees for the competitive categories will be announced Oct. 13. The awards ceremony takes place Nov. 17.
