Don't know how much it went for, but last night, one of 100 attendees at an exclusive fund-raising dinner in Ottowa won a catered dinner for 8, including dinner guests Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher, in the winner's home. The opening bid was $7,500 and the money raised will go to The Roger's House, a pediatric palliative care facility, and the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Support Programs.
Keith Urban is playing a show in Dallas tonight at West Village. It's a free show, and is first-come, first in the door. If you're in Dallas, you should be in line right now!
Apparently some Carrie Underwood fans have embarked on a hate campaign against Taylor Swift, posting truly ugly messages to her on Facebook and Twitter. Didn't their Mamas teach them that you can't lift someone up by tearing someone else down?
Brad Paisley's crew pranked Justin Moore onstage at the final show of the 2010 H2O tour. Watch as Justin gets duct-taped to a dolly and fitted with a blonde wig for "I Can Kick Your Ass."
During the show, Brad quipped, "In case you missed it, last week I got some really great news. I saved a bunch of money on my car insurance and they handed me an award, too." The CMA Entertainer of the Year was joined onstage by Roy Clark for an instrumental version of "Ghost Riders in the Sky," performed a request made by a 3-year-old (Beyonce's "Single Ladies") and the tour was capped off with the encore song, "Alcohol," with Brad, Roy Clark, Justin Moore and Darius Rucker all pitching in.
And big congratulations to Brad Paisley for 14 #1 songs in a row - "Anything Like Me" is on the top of the charts this week.
