HER LITTLE SPONGE – CARRIE UNDERWOOD


  

Carrie Underwood says her one-year-old son, Isaiah, is soaking up everything he comes across. She tells People, "He's so sweet and so smart. He's a little sponge just growing and learning every day. He's just the best thing." And that means Underwood needs to be mindful of what she says around him. She shares, "He'll hear you say something and then he'll mock you. Right now he walks around the bus and he's like 'OK, OK.' It's adorable."

Underwood also talks about finding time to spend with her husband Mike Fisher now that there's a baby in their lives. She says, "It's been — not challenging, but just something that we've really just trying to be mindful of and try to make time for each other."
Carrie adds that their planning a much-needed vacation right now.


BLAKE SHELTON RELEASES CHRISTIAN SINGLE
 

Blake Shelton is hitting Christian radio this week his brand-new single "Savior's Shadow." The song is the latest peek at Shelton's forthcoming album, If I'm Honest, and is one of the most personal songs he's ever recorded. Blake teamed up with Nashville songwriters Jessi Alexander and Jon Randall to pen this tune after its inspiration came to him in a dream.

Now, looking back, I know it was God's way of telling me that he's here and things are gonna be OK."

 



CALLING OUT GRETZKY – GARTH BROOKS



When Carrie Underwood's husband, Mike Fisher, teamed up with Garth Brooks for a duet last week, Carrie said she wanted hockey legend Wayne Gretzky to play a pick-up game with her as payback. Now, that idea is getting some support from Brooks. In a recent Facebook chat with fans, Garth said he hopes a pick-up game with Underwood and Gretzky does take place and even had a message for "The Great One". Brooks said, "I think the plan is, we gotta Gretzky now to get Carrie in full gear and get her out skating. I think that's it…So Wayne, I'm calling you out, and trust me, it'll be the best time you've ever had without those stinkin' boys."


Garth said he plans on completing his duet with Mike at an upcoming date in Nashville, something he hinted at back in January after Carrie shared a video of her husband singing his song "The River" in the car.
In the Facebook chat, Brooks and also wished Fisher's hockey team -- the Nashville Predators -- good luck as they enter the NHL playoffs.
