I'm a rockin' Country girl from Indiana who loves NASCAR, Food, Football, and all things music! Check here first for the inside scoop on hot new artists on the rise, and spend your nights with me, 7-Midnight, on 93.1 The Wolf!
I know it seems like the kids just started Summer vacation, but it won't be long before it's Back-to-School time! (Is that sighs of relief from parents everywhere I hear?? LOL) Sadly, not every family can afford the school supplies their kids need for their optimum education. That's why Kellie Pickler is among the celebrities helping Staples raise money for school supplies for needy children.
Here's the info from Mediapost.com:
In conjunction with DoSomething.org, Staples is bringing the national school drive program online and mobile in a new way for the brand.
The effort kicks off July 6 and runs through Sept. 18. "Give-Back Pack" (www.staplesgivebackpack.com) features country music star Kellie Pickler, TV star/singer Drake Bell and pop music star Jason Derulo as "pack leaders."
Fans can go online to pick their pack leader and gain exclusive content to their celebrities as well as tips for planning their own Do Something 101 drives. With every member who signs up to join their pack, the celebrities will donate $1 to Do Something 101, up to $5,000 per pack. At the end of the program, select winners will have a chance to meet their favorite star and receive special autographed merchandise.
Also new in 2010, Staples has made it easy for parents to get involved through a new text-to-donate campaign. By texting NOTEBOOK to 20222, they can donate $5 directly to the Do Something 101 campaign. Funds raised will be dispersed to the beneficiary organizations already matched to Staples stores.
Go here to see Kellie's PSA and join her pack!

The Acadamy of Country Music is allowing fans to vote in the categories of Top New Male Vocalist, Top New Female Vocalist, and Top New Group. The winners of those awards will all be put into the Top New Artist category, which will also be decided by fan votes. Luke Bryan is nominated in the "Male" category, and has gathered some of his country friends to create a clever campaign video and it's hilarious!! Click here to see the video...does he have your vote??

One of the best things about living in NC is that the "country" is just down the road. We don't have to travel hours outside the city to appreciate the beauty of God's hand. This video looks like it could have been shot just around the corner. Absolutely gorgeous!

ABC is all about some country music this coming week. First, on Tuesday, November 10th, Robin Roberts from Good Morning America (who was once a country radio dj, by the way) hosts In The Spotlight With Robin Roberts: Bright Lights, Big Stars, All Access Nashville (whew! Long title!). The show will give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at country music, and will travel to the homes of Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw, Martina McBride, and more.
Then, of course, on Wednesday, November 11th, it's "Country's Biggest Night", the CMA AWARDS!! Hosted by Carrie Underwood (who has at least 9 costume changes lined up) and Brad Paisley (I'm sure he has considerably less), the awards show will feature performances from some of the hottest acts in country music today. Now, personally, I don't really care who wins what award, but I LOVE watching the live performances! There's always a few surprises, and with Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney/Dave Matthews, Kid Rock/Jamey Johnson, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, and tons more set to perform, it is a music lovers' dream!
Now if I could only convince the big bossman that we need a live reporter (i.e. ME) from the event....

I lovelovelove Miranda Lambert - her spunk, talent, "real girl" attitude, and the fact that she's dating Blake Shelton ;) She seems like someone I would definitely hang around with (and would definitely not want to make mad at me! ha). Check out her new album, Revolution, and the first single/video, "White Liar".
**Jamey Johnson fans: pay attention to the preacher in the video!

Picture this...You're in Wal-mart, picking up your much-needed odds and ends like bath soap, dog food, and something for dinner, and you turn the corner and see this guy:No, you're not dreaming...that's exactly what could happen this Wednesday, 5:30pm at the Burlington Wal-mart on Garden Road! Chris Young will be there for the official Wolf CD Release Party, playing songs from his new CD and signing autographs! Who'da thunk Country Weekly's Hottest Bachelor would be hanging out in the middle of the Electronics section? Makes you want to put on a little makeup and do your hair for that next Wally World trip...you know, just in case ;) See you there!!

Taylor Swift was on tour with Keith Urban and decided to pull a prank on the headliner during the last show. Keith was performing "Kiss A Girl" for the encore, and Taylor and her band came out dressed as KISS! (Taylor is Ace Frehley) There were also girls dressed as Hershey's Kisses running around...too funny!!
Alan Jackson has his Franklin Tennessee Estate "Sweetbriar" up for sale. Got an extra $38 million lying around? Then 135 acres, a 2 story, 18222 sq foot house with 6 BR & 7 full baths, plus a whooooole bunch of other crap can be yours!! I'll just rent out a bathroom, thankyouverymuch.
