It's time for the much-anticipated annual CMT Awards, held tomorrow night on Country Music Television. But even those who don't know much about country -- or think the whole thing is little more than a red state conspiracy -- are likely raising eyebrows at this year's choice for a co-host, the excruciatingly adorable Kristen Bell.

And Nashville doesn't seem quite ready for a transgender star.
