Go Behind the Scenes at CMA Music Festival

Fans can get a glimpse of all the behind the scenes action from the 2010 CMA Music Festival on ABC.com and CMAfest.com before the three-hour special “CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock” premieres on Wednesday, September 1st (8:00-11:00 PM/ET) on ABC.

Beginning today through September 1st, ABC.com will launch over 20 online videos featuring CMA Music Festival fan favorites Trace Adkins, Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Laura Bell Bundy, Eric Church, Gloriana, Julianne Hough, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride, Jake Owen, Kellie Pickler, Darius Rucker, Blake Shelton, Josh Turner, and more! The online videos will be added to the Festival’s official website, www.CMAfest.com, on Friday, August 13th.

“We went to a lot of fan club parties with artists, and we spent a great deal of time filming on their buses or even at their houses to give that exclusive feeling and intimacy,” said David Beebe ABC Director of Video Production. “We talked with a wide range of artists from the names you would expect to see and a lot of up-and-coming acts as well.”

In the video series, Bentley takes viewers into his late night fan club party; Aldean gives an exclusive look at his “huddle” with the band to get pumped up before performing at LP Field; Gloriana shows off their “bus mascot” given to them by Taylor Swift; and noted practical joker Shelton makes a special “request” of Pickler to watch his dogs and his mother while he heads out to perform. In a special video where “stars give back” to the fans, viewers get to witness Laura Bell Bundy cleaning up after fans and Gloriana on janitorial duty at the Festival!

The annual CMA Music Festival is unlike any other, with four days filled with more than one hundred hours of live music, 30 hours of autograph signings by Country Music’s biggest names and up and comers, hundreds of artists and celebrities, and a party list of thousands of avid fans.

Julianne Hough & Ryan Seacrest Are Italian Lovers

JustJared.com has more pictures of Julianne Hough and new boy toy (ok…much older man toy), Ryan Seacrest on vacation. The couple are vacationing in Italy, and are getting very affectionate…

I haven’t quite decided how I feel about this…there is a significant age difference, and the sorta look like they could be brother and sister…

Julianne Hough & Ryan Seacrest Have Posh Italian Vacay

It’s official, Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest are dating.  They took a posh Italian vacation and TMZ has the photos.  Apparently Ryan paid for the $50,000 business dinner and tip then swept Julianne off to a cruise on his yacht.  See more here. I’m willing to bet this photo was leaked on purpose…or someone is fired.

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.

CMA Music Fest Day 2

CMTT is having a great time covering CMA Music Fest thanks to Chevy who is sponsoring our trip this year.  Day 2 was a BLAST! and we can only imagine it’s going to get better and better!

Yesterday, our first stop downtown was the Chevy Stages at the Bridgestone Plaza to catch Katie Armiger and Brantley Gilbert perform.  It was my first time seeing either of them, and I was extremely impressed, and so did the crowd!

After hitting-up the Chevy Stage, we headed on down to our very first benefit concert.  The Country Music Food For the Soul benefit was held at The Rutledge downtown Nashville.  For $15, fans could come and see some of Nashville’s Up-and-Coming artists. Thompson Square hosted and performed along with Fast Ryde, Matt Gary, Telluride, Ash Bowers, The Harters, Carter Twins, and Mallary Hope. WOW! All I have to say is “watch-out Nashville! You’ve got some serious talent making their way to the top!”

After the concert and a bite to eat, we headed down to LP Field for the nightly concerts. Several seat upgrades were announced throughout the night courtesy of Chevy! They are making sure everyone is having an amazing time at CMA Music Fest!

Last nights line-up had the crowd on their feet! Julianne Hough, Josh Turner, Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban, Reba McEntire, and Kid Rock rocked the stadium til midnight. Each act had their highlights. My favorite of the night was obviously Keith Urban. The aussie crooner got a standing ovation when he performed “A Little Help From My Friends.” Sarah Buxton and Little Big Towns Karen and Kimberly sang back-up vocals to the amazing performance. Video of the recent flood played int he background. It truly was amazing.

Day 3 is just around the cover. We’ll be bringing you all the coverage courtesy of Chevy!! On the agenda is more great music from the Chevy Stage, Riverfront Park, and LP Field!

Julianne Hough says Ryan Seacrest Dating Rumors are Crazy

Rumors are flying that Julianne Hough and American Idol host Ryan Seacrest are dating…Well, OK Magazine is setting the record straight. During the ACM Awards, Julianne said the two weren’t an item.

“It’s so crazy,” she tells me during the ACM Awards held in Las Vegas this week. “I keep hearing these rumors, but I don’t know. I know him from interviews. We’ve had lunch together with people – my manager, and stuff like that.”

Like sands through an hour-glass…so are the days of our lives…Get it…I crack myself up. Julianne has basically been linked to everyone under the sun since her and Chuck Wicks split…including Dane Cook and Kings of Leon frontman Jared Followill. I guess we’ll have to keep searching for the real dude who’s stolen Julianne’s heart.

Does Julianne Hough Have a New “American Idol” Boyfriend? It’s a Shocker!

OMG!  I know that is cliche these days but OMG!  The internet is buzzing with rumors that Julianne Hough is secretly dating American Idol host Ryan Seacrest. 

There have been whispers all around the web that the two are dating but The Dish Rag uncovered a few more things that point to these two being a real couple.

Cowell’s ex Terri Seymour interviewed all the judges for Los Angeles FOX 11 affiliate, KTTV, and questioned Cowell about a date Seacrest had Monday night. “Um, yeah, the girl from ‘Dancing With the Stars,” shrugged Cowell, adding a coy, “Whoops,” as he looked to camera.

Cut to Seymour side-by-side with her fellow FOX 11 reporter, who presses her for the name of the mystery woman. Seymour says she “will be in so much trouble,” but then goes on to give us the hint that it’s “a certain young lady” from “DWTS” — who’s not on this season. Ah ha! Another clue.

So let the speculation begin!

I also found this article from November of 2008 where Ryan gushes all over Julianne:

There are roses and best wishes and even dreams of a “Mrs. Seacrest” the report claims. Star Magazine has this, “Julianne Hough might soon be dancing down the aisle. At least, if Ryan Seacrest has anything to do with it!”

“Ryan has a crazy crush on her,” an insider tells Star. “He always refers to her as ‘Mrs. Seacrest’” – even when she appeared on his show on Oct. 17! The magazine claims that off the air, he’s doing his best to woo his Julianne, too.

How does one do that – with flowers of course, Ryan sent her 21 pink and yellow roses after her call-in, along with a teddy bear and a note. Addressed to “Mrs. Seacrest,” of course. Is this PR or a fauxmance wish from Seacrest or could you see these two together?

So could all of Ryan’s dreams be coming true?? What do you think? Cute couple or not? Do you think there is any truth to these rumors? Sound off now!
