Today's Country Tidbits

It's official: Cash Rich is here, son of John and Joan Rich. Cash was born Sunday morning in Nashville. Mom and son are doing fine, and Daddy is as proud as a peacock.

Reba will be the host of the 45th ACM Awards on April 18th in Las Vegas. This is her 12th time hosting the show, which always has good ratings. The following night, in the same venue, CBS will tape a special, "Brooks & Dunn - The Last Rodeo." Since most of the stars will be in town for the ACM Awards, it was easy to get guests for that special. Already committed: Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban and Reba. Tickets for both events go on sale Friday.

Speaking of Brooks & Dunn, their website has undergone a complete transformation. Check out their new, last rodeo look.

Phil Vassar will spend a week in the UK at the end of this month, promoting his latest cd, "Traveling Circus" and playing a handful of intimate shows. The venue in Glasgow, Scotland takes the cake for the best bar name ever: King Tut's Wah Wah Hut!

Taylor Swift is back in the studio, working on the follow-up to "Fearless." She's got the same musicians who played on that project, so we know that what comes out of these sessions will be good.

And it looks like two of the three Dixie Chicks are working on an album. Natalie Maines isn't part of the project, which could come out later this year. Sisters Martie Maguire and Emily Robison have been recording demos, and there's no word yet on what they'll call their duo.

Rascal Flatts tour kicks off Friday night. The "Unstoppable" tour re-starts in Connecticut and rolls across America, landing in Texas in mid-March.

Jason Aldean is gearing up for the continuation of his "Wide Open" tour, and promises a few new twists onstage.

This year marks a decade of wedded bliss for Vince Gill and Amy Grant - or does it? They're the cover couple on Good Housekeeping magazine, and they are pretty honest about how hard it's been to blend their families and balance each other's bad parts. Vince admits to a temper and Amy admits to a stubborn streak. The February issue is on newsstands today.

Jimmy Wayne's last tweet last night: "I began this walk with no intentions of asking 4 help 4 myself; just support 4 MMH. I'm in awe of how many people have offered both." We are a land of good people.

Birthday wishes for Keith Anderson, Ricky Van Shelton and Ray Price today.

Roseanne Cash will be on The Late Show with Conan O'Brien on Tuesday, talking about "The List" and performing "Sea of Heartbreak."
