Tim McGraw and Faith Hill Announce 2012 Australian Tour
The last time Tim McGraw and Faith Hill went on tour together, it went pretty well — the string of dates they shared in 2006 and 2007 broke the record for the top-grossing country tour of all time.
Next year, they’ll take their act on the road again, and although this looks like a much shorter run — only six dates have been announced — they’ll still be covering a lot of distance. In fact, they’re
Why Was Lady Antebellum’s Hillary Scott Kissing a Frog Backstage at a Concert?
With millions of records sold in armloads of Grammys to their credit, the members of Lady Antebellum are certified country music royalty — so perhaps vocalist Hillary Scott was feeling like a princess the other night in New Hampshire when she met a frog backstage.
And even though Scott’s already found her prince in fiance Chris Tyrell, who can blame a girl for wanting to see if magic will strike t
Trace Adkins Shares His Lake with Big Brothers Big Sisters
Trace Adkins‘ latest hit single is titled ‘Just Fishin” — and that’s exactly what a lucky group of Big Brothers and Big Sisters got to do on his private lake recently.
Adkins invited members of the Middle Tennessee Big Brothers Big Sisters organization out to his farm last week, and they spent the day on his lake, enjoying activities like swimming, paddle boating, and, yes, fishing.
Will Tim McGraw Join ‘A Star Is Born’ Remake?
Clint Eastwood is famous in Hollywood for being a fast, no-nonsense director who brings his films in on time and under budget, but his next project — a remake of ‘A Star Is Born’ — is having trouble just getting started.
Eastwood initially cast Beyoncé in the lead, but her pregnancy seems likely to keep her from making the planned February 2012 start date, and his preferred leading man, Leonardo D
Tracy Lawrence Reflects on Dropped Disorderly Conduct Charges — ‘I’m Too Old to Be Fighting’
Tracy Lawrence can put his latest round of legal hassles behind him, as the charges stemming from a recent post-concert brawl between him and the show’s promoter have been dismissed.
“The charges being dropped against me pretty much says everything,” reflected Lawrence. The district attorney declined to pursue the case against Lawrence, citing a lack of confidence in available evidence, but the ch
Dolly Parton Shows Sisterly Support for Lady Gaga
With more than 40 albums, 20 number one singles, and the title ‘The Queen of Country’ to her name, Dolly Parton has certainly earned the right to share her thoughts on whatever topic she chooses — and when a British reporter asked her recently to weigh in on Lady Gaga, he could have been looking for nothing more than a few controversial quotes.
Leave it to Dolly, however, to accentuate the positiv
Faith Hill Returns to ‘Sunday Night Football,’ Continues Work on New Album
She still has a ways to go before she matches the level of sports theme longevity enjoyed by Hank Williams, Jr., but when ‘Sunday Night Football’ returns on September 11, Faith Hill will be back, too.
Hill, returning for her fifth year with the show, has recorded a new version of the theme song, ‘Waiting All Day for Sunday Night,’ which sets football-themed lyrics to Joan Jett’s ‘I Hate Myself for
Kelly Clarkson Says She’d Record with Miranda Lambert and Adele
The last time Kelly Clarkson cut a duet with a country star, the result was her number one hit with Jason Aldean, ‘Don’t You Wanna Stay,’ so it’s only natural that, during a recent Web chat, she was asked if she’d consider teaming up with any other artists.
As it turns out, Clarkson had already considered the question — and she’d love to return to Nashville for a duet with Miranda Lambert.

Brad Paisley Is Inspired By Eminem and Kanye West
The top of the country singles charts is familiar territory for Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood — their duet ‘Remind Me,’ currently number one, is his 20th chart-topper, and her 14th.
But even if the song produced predictable results for the duo, it started with a burst of unusual inspiration. As Paisley tells it, the idea for ‘Remind Me’ came from watching the sort of character acting commonly

Randy Travis Says He Was a ‘Deer in the Headlights’ Early in His Career

Lady Antebellum, Maroon 5, and Kid Rock to Perform at 2011 NFL Kickoff Concert
