Congrats are in order for Reba McEntire. The singer’s new series ‘Malibu Country’ has been picked up by ABC. The pilot was given the greenlight earlier this year and now the series is a go. Reba shared the good news via Twitter and confirmed that she’ll be working with comedienne Lily Tomlin, too.
May 8, 2012 If you are an animal lover or pet owner, this is a pretty special week for your pets. This week we celebrate our pets as it is National Pet Week. And, according to a National Pet Week website, Petweek.org, this week is a time to "promote responsible pet ownership, celebrate the human-animal bond, and promote public awareness of veterinary medicine."
This week, Reba McEntire technically became the second female country artist to ever sell more than 30 million albums. The first woman to do this was Shania Twain, who is currently considered the top-selling female country artist of all time with 34,175,000 albums sold, according to Perez Hilton.
We previously reported that former country child protege Billy Gilman had united 18 of the biggest names in country music to sing on his song ‘The Choice.’ With the song, Gilman is teaming up with the organization Soles4Souls to bring shoes to kids across the globe who don’t have any. The artists are donating 100 percent of the proceeds from the song’s digital downloads directly to the cause. This week, Gillman released a music video to further the reach of the charitable single.
Over a dozen of country music’s top performers participated in recording ‘The Choice,’ a song written by Billy Gilman to bring awareness to children in need of shoes across the world. Every download of the song will provide a pair of shoes to a child in need.
April 16, 2012 Rascal Flatts, Martina McBride and The Band Perry are helping feed America, and their need your help. They've teamed up with artists at Big Machine Label Group and General Mills to Outnumber Hunger. A
In 2000, young singer Billy Gilman exploded onto the music scene as a 12-year-old with a killer voice and the musical chops to take him places. He released a debut record called ‘One Voice,’ sold more than 2 million copies and then had to take a step back from the industry when puberty put a crimp in his vocal style. Now, almost 12 years later, Gilman has found his voice again, and he’s choosing to use it for the sake of others.
April 11, 2012 Although I do consider myself young, I'm old enough to remember a time when there was no Internet. And, before there was the Internet, if you were a fan of somebody, you joined a fan club. Way before Facebook Fan Pages, you got stuff in the mail every once in a while, a holiday card around the holidays, and a glossy 8x10 photo of the person you were a fan of. I took
Faith Hill found success in Nashville soon after she moved from Mississippi in the late 1980s, but she spent some time flipping burgers at McDonald’s prior to her Music City experience. “Fries, burgers, cash register — I did it all,” Hill said. “I hated it. God bless the people that work there.”
What a baby face Jason Aldean had when he debuted with ‘Hicktown’ in 2005! Other than the clean-shaven cheeks and a few less necklaces, not much has changed in the Georgia born country singer’s look. His style is similar, and he still sports the same earrings seven years later. It’s a look that works for Aldean, so why change it? Holding onto a little more stubble is probably a good move. It gives his face a farm-worn look.
Kelly Clarkson is well into her 2012 Stronger Tour, and last night (April 3) she took the stage at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theater with several of her musical celebrity friends. Those joining the ‘Idol’ star onstage included country greats Reba McEntire and Blake Shelton.
April 4, 2012 And then there were four. Blake Shelton lost two from his team on 'The Voice.' America choose Erin Willett, Alica Key's backup singer Jermaine Paul and country girl RaeLynn to move on. Three girls were left to sing for their lives, Naia Kete, Charlotte Sometimes and Jordis Unga. And Blake was left to pick which one stays and which two go.
