Larry Busacca, Getty Images Trisha Yearwood + Garth Brooks May Record Album and Tour
While both Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks are highly celebrated names in country music, they’re also parents, which does more to dictate their schedule at the moment than audience demand. However, with their youngest daughter set to graduate high school in 2014, the couple are starting to let themselves dream about life as empty-nesters.
Rick Diamond, Getty Images Eli Young Band Thank Their Fans — With FREE Music!
Eli Young Band have literally seen their career catapult onto center stage in the past few months. After their single ‘Crazy Girl’ became their first No.1 hit, the four-man country outfit snagged an ACM Award for Song of the Year with the same smash hit, making an underdog story to be remembered. But even in the face of so many great things at once, the guys are not about to forget who it was that helped them get to this point.

Jason Merritt, Getty Images Miranda Lambert Makes Beautiful People List
It has seriously been a good year for Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton. The two have not only netted more awards than they can likely count but they were also both recognized just for being strikingly good-looking by People magazine. After Shelton was crowned Country Music’s Hottest Guy by People Country, his stunning wife just landed in People’s most beautiful women of 2012 issue.
Jason Merritt / Tim Whitby, Getty Images Taylor Swift Would Be Olivia Newton-John’s Pick for a ‘Grease’ Remake
As classic films like ‘Footloose’ and ‘Dirty Dancing’ come rolling off the line in updated versions (with characters who weren’t born when the originals were made), some are wondering if ‘Grease’ might be up next for a remake. The 1978 film starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John seems to have all the trappings of a love story just ready for a facelift. And John says she knows exactly who would be the best person to fill her dancing shoes as Sandy: Taylor Swift.
Resch Center Facebook Miranda Lambert Gets Stock in the Green Bay Packers
Miranda Lambert hails from Lindale, Texas, which we all know is in Cowboy country when it comes to the NFL. Even if she were to go south a bit, we would expect Lambert to be pulling for the Houston Texans. But now, strangely, the ‘Over You’ singer is actually a shareholder of Wisconsin’s Green Bay Packers. We wonder if this will get the southern gal on her feet rooting for a team from the north.
Twitter Picture of the Week: Blake Shelton Goes Hardcore With Pistol Annies
It looks like Miranda Lambert‘s Pistol Annies let the blonde starlet’s husband in on a photo shoot this week. Blake Shelton made this photo his Twitter pic, and fans quickly tweeted their praises. But Shelton never offered any explanation at all. It’s not Halloween, so they could have just been showing off how bad they can truly be (is that a bike under Angaleena Presley’s fishnet-clad leg?).
Twitter Taylor Swift Dresses Up for a Night on the Town in Shirley MacLaine’s Honor
It seems that Taylor Swift and her friends love a good dress up party now and then. But these girls aren’t donning black miniskirts and red high heels for a night on the town. No, they’re more likely to be found in ribbons and lace, looking more like something out of ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ than ‘Sex and the City.’
Twitter Brad Paisley Gets Cartooned for ‘South Park’ Appearance
Brad Paisley will be making a special television appearance tonight (April 25), but you won’t be seeing the star in person. The ‘Celebrity’ singer will transform into a cartoon to make a cameo on the Comedy Central hit show ‘South Park’ at 10PM ET.
Rick Diamond, Getty Images Jake Owen and Fiancee Want to Keep Some Wedding Details Private
As a touring country artist, Jake Owen has long known that he has a steady base of fans interested in his music. But the ‘Alone With You’ singer didn’t fully comprehend just how interested those fans would be in every detail of his private life, including his proposal, engagement and the engagement ring he gave to fiancee Lacey Buchanan.
Jason Merritt, Getty Images / KOLN-TV Jason Aldean Grants Big Wish for Little Boy Battling Brain Cancer
Tyson Zimmer, a 7-year-old boy in Nebraska who is dying of brain cancer, is a huge Jason Aldean fan. The little boy with the sweet smile told Nebraska’s KOLN-TV, “I sing ‘Big Green Tractor’ because that’s my favorite.” As family and friends have watched Zimmer battle the horrible disease, they rallied around him, joining in a Twitter campaign to request that Aldean send the young boy a message.
Rusty Russell, Getty Images Chris Cagle Announces Plans for Comeback Summer Album
When Chris Cagle parted ways with Capitol Records more than three years ago in a particularly difficult time of his life, he didn’t know what the future would bring for his country music career. Now, the Louisiana native is back full force, with his single ‘Got My Country On’ sitting in the Top 20 and a new record, appropriately titled ‘Back in the Saddle,’ due out on May 29 with Bigger Picture Group.
