All tag results for 'country singer'

Dang, it took not one, not two, but THREE arrests, but Randy Travis is finally putting down the drinky drink!!

Crazy enough, all of the country singer's arrests took place this year, but now his lawyer, Larry Friedman said he's “eliminated alcohol from his daily life.”

However, not only did he give up booze, but he's also on a strict work out plan and eats healthy, Friedman said:

Hmmmm!!! Now THIS is interesting!

We wrote about a Tim Tebow love triangle a few days ago, and now the plot gets thicker!

According to a source, reps for the Tebow have invited both country singer Taylor Swift and Dianna Agron to his second annual Tim Tebow Foundation Charity Golf Tournament!

Awwwwwkward!

Reps of course declined to comment, but we know what's up.

It's been seeming like Tebow is going for both Agron and Swifty, spending some personal time with them both.

But the question is — will they accept the offer?

Which will accept his offer of luuuuuuuuuuuurve?? LOLz!

Honestly, we're pretty sure people are making mountains out of mole hills here, but it's still fascinating to see the coincidences unfold!

Ha!

This was a slightly awkward interview, considering Chelsea Handler notoriously insulted LeAnn Rimes in the past, but the country singer went on the show anyway!

The tabloid fixation appeared on Chelsea Lately to talk about her divorce, her new CD, and, oh yeah, all that weight she lost!

LeAnn explained that her current figure is simply the result of growing up and she may appear extra thin to some because she was "fat" in her younger days.

We don't know what pictures or mirror she has been looking at over the years, but she continued to describe herself as having "baby fat," which she lost when she "grew up".

She acknowledges she is a lot thinner than she used to be, but contributes it to aging and working out.

Check out the entire interview above and let us know if U buy LeAnn's explanation for her dramatic weight loss over the last year. Also, was she EVER fat? We don't think so!

If you're on television, we think it's a good idea to avoid talking about Hitler. ESPECIALLY if you're comparing the most evil man in history to the current President of the United States!

Hank Williams, Jr., the country singer who has opened every Monday Night Football game since 1989 with his theme song Are You Ready For Some Football?, was removed from ESPN's broadcast last night after controversial remarks on FOX News.

He told the hosts of FOX & Friends that a golf game between Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner was "one of the biggest political mistakes ever."

When questioned, he explained, "That would be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu."

The FOX news anchors didn't quite get the analogy and neither did ESPN execs.

ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz announced on Monday afternoon:

“While Hank Williams, Jr. is not an ESPN employee, we recognize that he is closely linked to our company through the open to Monday Night Football. We are extremely disappointed with his comments, and as a result we have decided to pull the open from tonight’s telecast."

Sources say that ESPN is still evaluating whether they intend to use the song in the future. In a statement, Williams didn't exactly offer up an apology, but a little more of an explanation for his remarks, saying:

"Some of us have strong opinions and are often misunderstood. My analogy was extreme - but it was to make a point. I was simply trying to explain how stupid it seemed to me — how ludicrous that pairing was. They're polar opposites and it made no sense. They don't see eye-to-eye and never will. I have always respected the office of the President."

Well, we bet a lot of people will be expressing how "stupid" his "extreme analogy" was to them.

Another "misunderstood" statement was when Mr. Williams, Jr. referred to Obama and Vice President Joe Biden as "The Three Stooges."

Since we can do basic math we were able to infer that this guy actually has no idea what he is talking about!

Ugh! Can someone tell us WHY was this guy invited to offer up political commentary in the first place?

Check out the video above for yourself and let us know if U think ESPN should continue to air his song before future games!

LeAnn Rimes has been defending her skinny frame for MONTHS from accusers asserting that she has become anorexic.

However, unless she's paying her personal trainer to lie to the press, he says otherwise!

In fact, Michael Jackson, a Tier III trainer at Equinox, goes as far as to call the rumors "comical and absurd". In a recent interview, he told sources:

"Her eating and workout regiment is very consistent and efficient on a daily basis. LeAnn is in the gym three to four times a week which includes her 20-30 minutes of strength & conditioning, as well as 20-30 minutes of boxing with 10-15 minutes of cardio."

If anything, the trainer blames his country singing client's crazy work ethic for her thin figure, but maintains her diet is still "very strict" whether on or off the road, saying:

“Her eating on and off the road is very strict, and she takes this very serious being that she is constantly on the move with her career. These rumors of her being bulimic and anorexic are pretty comical and absurd."

We hope the rumors are as absurd as he says because she does appear to be the incredible shrinking woman these days. If her work schedule is melting off the pounds all too easily, maybe it's time for her to take some time off and relax!
