The Blake Shelton - Gwen Stefani romance appears to be getting serious.
Online sources are reporting that Blake and Gwen were spotted on a family date with Gwen's kids -- nine-year-old Kingston, seven-year-old Zuma and one-year-old Apollo -- to see the new Star Wars movie. After the flick, they were spotted at the Sherman Oaks, California Cheesecake Factory for a bite to eat.
On the other side of the country, Miranda Lambert was having herself a great weekend. She showed her Gypsy Vanner at the Feathered Horse Classic in Jacksonville, Florida and won big.
BLAKE SHELTON: WANTS TIM TEBOW BACK IN THE NFL
Blake Shelton can't quit Tebowmania. Last week, Blake went on a Twitter rant about how he wants Tim Tebow back in the NFL.
Blake tweeted, “Just saw the 2011 playoff game with Steelers vs. Broncos. Can someone please give me a good reason [why] Tim Tebow isn't playing in the NFL?! I mean are you telling me that there's NOT a team that needs him out there? Look at the problems so many teams have at quarterback!”
Follower Ronald Young weighed in explaining the reason Tim isn’t playing in the NFL is because of his religious beliefs. Blake responded, “Is that seriously the reason?! That’s pretty sad … Glad they don’t hold country singers to that standard.”
In 2003, Blake said he loved messing with NFL fans who follow teams that didn’t make it to the playoffs.
THE HOT DOG SONG – CARRIE UNDERWOOD
Being a mother has changed Carrie Underwood's daily life in so many ways, which is evident in the kind of TV programs she watches every morning. Carrie recently posted a picture on Instagram that shows her 10-month-old son Isaiah sitting on the floor watching an episode of the Disney's kids program, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. And the caption for photo reveals just how different Underwood's daily routine is from her pre-mommy days. Carrie says, "I used to watch the news in the mornings. Now I sit in the floor with my cup of coffee and this munchkin and sing the 'Hot Dog' song! I think like it better this way! #whodathought #bestwaytostarttheday" And just in case you're wondering what the "Hot Dog Dance" is, here's a video.
When Underwood's not singing the "Hot Dog" song, you might find her improvising a great home workout. Another Instagram post reveals that Carrie gets pretty creative when it's time to break a sweat. In the video, Underwood puts her feet on two of her Calia By Carrie Underwood towels and uses the floor's smooth surface to do plank and lunge exercises. The video can be seen here.
MUSIC'S GOING TO EVOLVE – LEE BRICE
Some people may not like the so-called "bro-country" brand of country music or how the genre seems to be moving away from the traditional country sound, but Lee Brice says music's always going to evolve. But Lee also makes it clear that the traditional style of country isn't going anywhere. He tells Radio.com, "Some people like to just hang on to the roots of country, and do a classic country album, like Sturgill Simpson, or my buddy Jamey Johnson. That's what moves them. And it moves me too!" In fact, Brice still looks to traditional country and the artists who came before him to see how his music measures up. Lee shares, "When I'm making a record, I pull from Alan Jackson and Vince Gill and Garth Brooks and Alabama and Randy Travis and Kenny Rogers. And then I say, 'Do my songs stand up to their songs?' As for the production and sound of his music, Brice shares, "I still love steel guitar and I still put it on my records."
Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line are two acts who always seem to be at the center of the whole "bro-country" debate, but Lee fully supports their artistry and the music they make. Brice says, "As long as someone like Luke Bryan — who's my buddy — or Florida Georgia Line, or whoever… as long as they love what they’re doing, then I say, more power to you, you do whatever the hell you want to do." Besides, there were other country artists who've strayed from what was thought to be traditional country at the time. Lee says, "Johnny Cash didn't sound like any other country music before him, neither did Waylon Jennings! They were rock and roll!"
