The buzz today is all about country star Kellie Pickler… literally.  So, why is Kellie sporting a new buzz-cut hairdo?

Country legend Willie Nelson was forced to cancel his planned performance at a fundraiser in Castle Pines Village in Colorado on Saturday, August 18. The tireless singer and pot proponent, 79, reportedly pulled out of his appearance due to health problems.

One of my most favorite Texas/red-dirt,  singer/songwriters,  Cory Morrow is a new dad — again. Cory and his lovely wife welcomed Waylon James Morrow to the world on August 7.  He weighed in at 7lbs, 3oz.

Kenny Chesney has put his island estate over looking Caneel Bay and the North shore of St. John on the market, and we have a photo tour for you.

This could be our hottest day so far in 2012.  The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for Texarkana and the surrounding area from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday June 26.

We told you that CMT was working on a reality t.v. show titled, “Redneck Island”, and now we have some video for you.

We thought this was a great story to kick off  your Memorial Day weekend.  Tim McGraw has partnered with the Wounded Warrior Project to give 25 mortgage free homes to 25 military families in need.

We went to the Liberty Eylau year end concert to hear the bands from the different LE schools, and in the row below us, in the seat in front of mine sat a pretty little girl named Sara.

Don’t let the title fool you, of course Willie got stoned on 4/20, and everyday before that for the last hundred something years… but this is a different kind of ‘stoned’.

So, after a long day of dealing with storm watches, then warnings, I was anxious to get home and microwave a frozen dinner or something, but noooo.  I got home to realize I had no electricity.  Then I realized we had no electric wires!

There have been a few tornadoes touch down around the Dallas Metroplex today.  One that struck in Arlington, Texas was caught on video tossing 18 Wheelers around like play toys.  Major damage has been reported around the DFW area, including a nursing home destroyed in Arlington.

We think this is one of the coolest things we have heard in a good long while. Cheers to the folks at Mattel, they are going to start manufacturing a bald barbie doll for little girls loosing their hair from chemo-therapy, or alopecia, and other conditions that cause hair loss.
