Are you a Reba fan? Think she should host Saturday Night Live, especially since they've parodied her on many occasions? There's a special Reba-to-host-Saturday-Night-Live fan page on Facebook, so go become a fan. Hey, it worked for Betty White!
Are you an Alan Jackson fan? Have an iTunes account? You're in luck...as a count down to the release of "Freight Train" on the 30th of this month, there's new Alan Jackson music every day at iTunes. In other AJ news, this could be his last album with Arista records, the only lable he's been on since becoming a country star 20 years ago. He's not sure whether he'll continue with the lable, do something with someone else or go it alone - he says it's time for him to start thinking about that.
Darius Rucker has decided to gather some friends and throw a benefit concert for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Most of the artists are also throwing in things like cd's, concert tickets and meet & greet passes. Bid online until March 23rd.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words...this one of Brad Paisley's boo-boo evokes one word - ouch!
Ever wonder how artists rehearse for their tours? Carrie Underwood rented out the Mobile, AL Civic Center, hauled in equipment on 12 tractor-trailers and spent two weeks working out all the staging. The rehearsal is estimated to have added half a million bucks to the local economy.
Happy birthday Carrie Underwood, who turns 27 today, and kicks off her "Play On" tour tomorrow.
