‘Duets,’ the new reality singing competition series starring Sugarland vocalist Jennifer Nettles and semi-country singer Kelly Clarkson, debuts this coming Thursday (May 24) in a two-hour premiere. The premise of the show is that established vocalists will partner with neophytes for –you guessed it- a duet! Rather than be judges or mentors, the celebs are performing alongside the hopefuls. Ahead of the big bow at 8 PM ET, the singing partners of each mentor have been revealed by ABC.
Through all the media scrutiny surrounding the pending lawsuit against Sugarland, a spark of positivity has surfaced. Nine months after the tragic Indiana State Fair stage collapse, which killed 7 and injured dozens on August 13, 2011, one of the most critically injured concert-goers is preparing to return home after an intense round of rehabilitation.

The depositions from Sugarland‘s Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush will remain confidential, according to the latest ruling in the lawsuit against the superstar duo. Part of Nettles’ deposition recounting the events of the August 13, 2011 stage collapse in Indianapolis, Ind. was leaked by attorneys earlier this year, but Marion Superior Court Judge Theodore Sosin has denied requests to release the full transcripts from both musicians, citing the need for stricter regulations on what is released to the public as his reasoning.

Our 'Cute Kid' of the day is an aspiring country singer who is getting some big name support. 11 year old Alana Springsteen has been working with Kristian Bush of Sugarland to score a record deal in Nashville. She may not have a deal yet, but she's already being put in the spotlight. During a recent Sugarland show, Bush called Alana on stage to help sing the song that got everything started for the band, 'Baby Girl.'
In the past few months, reality TV news has been buzzing with word of the new celebrity judges joining hands for ABC’s new singing competition, ‘Duets.’ After announcing that Sugarland‘s Jennifer Nettles, Kelly Clarkson, Robin Thicke and Lionel Richie would be working as judges on the show, Richie has pulled out of the deal.
CMT unrolled the red carpet for their 2012 Music Awards nominations this morning, and it looks like Carrie Underwood is set to have quite the year, with a stunning total of five nominations. While Underwood is in the lead, tons of other country stars netted multiple nominations this year.

Lauren Alaina is ready for the hot weather, and now she has the hairstyle to prove it! Over the weekend, Alaina had her long locks chopped off and is now sporting a short hairdo that hits her at the chin and makes her look much more mature.
The stage that collapsed moments before Sugarland was due to begin their performance at the Indiana State Fair last year wasn’t strong enough to withstand a 68 MPH gust of wind, as required by code. A 59 MPH gust of wind toppled the light and sound rigging on the night of August 13, but parts of the support system began giving way earlier in the evening.
