Blake Shelton To Co-Host The Today Show This Monday

21
Aug 2010
By admin

Blake Shelton truly is one of the industry’s “most versatile of contemporary country singers” (The New York Times) and he is showing just how versatile he can be as he co-hosts with Hoda Kotb on Monday, on NBC’s “Today Show.” 
This is Shelton’s third time on the morning show this year and fourth appearance overall. The Reprise Recording Artist returns to the morning show after sitting down with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb less than two weeks ago to discuss his newly released SIX PAK, All About Tonight, which is currently No. 1 on the SoundScan Top Country Albums chart and his single, “All About Tonight” is No. 1 this week on the Billboard and Country Aircheck (Mediabase) charts. Shelton joked with Gifford that she may not be welcomed back after his stint as co-host for the morning show.

“I don’t think the Today Show knows what they really signed up for with me co-hosting,” Blake says. “I mean, have you read my tweets? I hope they’re ready to sensor me.”

All About Tonight debuted at No. 1 on the SoundScan Top Country Albums chart and No. 6 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart, making it Shelton’s highest charting record to date. Shelton also received the No. 1 spot this week on the Billboard and Country Aircheck (Mediabase) charts with his single, “All About Tonight.” This marks his second No. 1 of the year and seventh of his career. Shelton is the only solo male country artist – one of three artists overall (Carrie Underwood and Zac Brown Band) – to log more than one chart-topper so far this year on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs with his singles “Hillbilly Bone” and “All About Tonight.”

Carrie Underwood Use To Suffer From Panic Attacks

21
Aug 2010
By admin

Carrie Underwood has revealed she used to suffer panic attacks in crowded shopping malls and elevators.  She recently revealed that she likes to shop for groceries in empty supermarkets at midnight, and admits she used to have a big problem with personal space when she was a teenager growing up in Checotah, Oklahoma.

She tells WebMD the Magazine, “I’m a big personal space person. You know, if you go to the restroom, you use the stall that’s not near anybody. Or if you’re in the gym, you go to the treadmill where there’s space in between you. And it seemed like in crowded situations like that, people would just completely violate your personal space.”

She tells the publication that Christmas shopping was “my worst nightmare” and reveals she still has moments when crowded elevators make her start sweating – like one that took place just a day before her interview. 

 ”Every floor we stopped on, we’d cram more people in, and by the time we were done, there was just a ton of people. So I start thinking about all the bad things that can happen, and I’m like, ‘I’ve got to get off the elevator, I need to get off the elevator.’ I was just like, ‘No more stops, please, no more stops!’ “

AOL Music/The Boot Premiere’s Bo Bice’s New Video “You Take Yourself With You”

20
Aug 2010
By admin

Bo Bice’s video for his current single, “You Take Yourself With You,” premieres worldwide on AOL Music / The Boot this week. The video was directed by Marcel Chagnon (Clay Walker’s “She Won’t Be Lonely Long,” The Grascals‘ “Last Train to Clarksville”) and was filmed at several locations earlier this summer.

Beautifully shot in rural Nashville, the video includes actual childhood photos of Bice and his family alongside live performance footage, reflecting his poignant lyrics of youth, ambitions and the importance of roots no matter where life takes you.

“You Take Yourself With You” is the first single off his newest CD, 3, which was released earlier this year on Saguaro Road Records.  Bice’s Southern sensibility, earthy vocals and decidedly non-pop performances won over a nation of fans during the fourth season of American Idol, where he landed as the runner-up to Carrie Underwood.   His first single, “Inside Your Heaven,” reached #1 on the pop chart when it was released in 2005 and was certified gold after it became the second-highest debuting song of the year.  His album (The Real Thing) debuted at #4 shortly afterward and was also certified gold, his 2007 follow-up (See The Light) was ranked #1 by VH-1, and he later sung lead on Santana’s single “Brown Skinned Girl” (certified gold).  3 is Bice’s third album and first for Saguaro Road Records.

Bo will also appear on ESPN on August 23rd, performing the National Anthem for the highly anticipated Tennessee Titans vs. Arizona Cardinals football game, where the Titans will play for their fifth win in a row.

Check out Bo’s video by clicking here, then come back and let us know what you thought of it.
