LeAnn Rimes-”Swingin” on America’s Got Talent

Last night LeAnn Rimes sang “Swingin” on America’s Got Talent…Dancin and jivin around the stage in a 60′s-inspired swimsuit and beach theme. The overall setup was adorable….I just didn’t think the sound was all that great…What about y’all?

LeAnn Rimes And Eddie Cibrian Are Moving In Together

LeAnn Rimes is getting some roommates: Eddie Cibrian and his two little boys.

People.com is reporting that Eddie’s lease is up so he’s moving in with LeAnn. She lives nearby in the western San Fernando Valley section of Los Angeles. This way, Eddie’s older son, who’s 7, can stay in the same school.

Eddie shares custody with his soon-to-be ex-wife. LeAnns’ spokesperson says they are “excited for this happy new journey” in their relationship. Does this make anyone else want to throw up a little bit in their mouth?   I think the way both of them handled this whole divorce and dating thing was tacky.

Country Artists Remember Michael Jackson on the Anniversary of His Death

Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum might not want to do this move on stage: the moonwalk. He says when he was a little kid, his brother and sister would make him moonwalk. He says he doesn’t “think he was good at it.” But “they just used to think it was funny.” Hillary Scott says Michael Jackson’s duet with his sister, Janet Jackson, is on a mix-tape she made in high school. Scott says she loves the song and the video. She says it was great “just to see them interacting together.”

LeAnn Rimes hears a Michael Jackson song on the radio she says she thinks how “current” it sounds. She says “there’s a timelessness in his music.” And, she says “we lost one of the most amazing artists in history” when he died a year ago today.

Laura Bell Bundy says Michael Jackson was a big influence on her “and a lot of other performers who sing and dance simultaneously, who really love to give an audience an experience, a visual experience when they hear music.” Julianne Hough was on “Dancing With the Stars” long before she left to do country music. She says as a kid, she remembers watching “some awards show and he had the white glove on.” She says after she watched him perform, she wanted to get up and dance, too.

Nashville Rising: A Star-Studded Benefit Extravaganza!!!

On Tuesday, June 22nd, the Music City community will unite to assist victims of the floods that ravaged Nashville and Middle Tennessee earlier this month. “NASHVILLE RISING: A Benefit Concert for Flood Recovery,” will take place at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. It will feature performances by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, who are spearheading the event, and numerous other artists. See below for a list of performers and special guests who have been confirmed to date. This superstar line-up will continue to grow and many additions will be announced as the event draws closer.

“The damage that we’ve seen to people’s homes and the effect that the flooding has had on their lives is unimaginable. But we’ve seen the spirit of our community first hand, as volunteers, church groups and our local business leaders rally to help,” said Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. “We all need to continue to support those in need in anyway that we can, and for that reason we could not be more appreciative to all of the artists, the companies and the people behind the scenes, who collectively, will make June 22nd a truly special night.”

Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday, May 14th, at 10:00 A.M. CST at www.ticketmaster.com . Ticket prices will range from $25 to $75. Ticket auctions on select seats and VIP packages will also be available. Visit www.nashvillerising.org for more details.

“NASHVILLE RISING” will benefit the Community Foundation, which provides philanthropic services that enhance the Middle Tennessee area. The Foundation’s Tennessee Emergency Response Fund ensures that one gift can impact the widest range of charitable needs. In the course of rebuilding lives disrupted by this devastating flood, it is impossible to know just what the needs of those affected will be. This Fund is already operational and will continue to strategically address needs as they emerge. For additional information, please visit http://www.cfmt.org.
