Who Would You Like to See Without a Shirt? Tim McGraw or Brantley Gilbert

Leslie Morgan — Mon, 06 May 2013 09:00:50 +0000

I know, I know, it seems like a stupid question, a no brainer. You would choose both, right? Well, the question came up on the show because Brantley is getting ready to go out on tour with Tim Mcgraw and the question came up about work outs and if Brantley would take off his shirt and work out with Tim. Brantley said he wouldn't take off his shirt for that and that he only takes off his shirt to fight.

And, you know me, my mind started racing! Tim or Brantley shirtless??? Hmmmmmm

Jon Is Frightened Every Morning By Leslie's Bed Head and Finally Calls Her Out

Leslie Morgan — Mon, 06 May 2013 04:14:35 +0000

First of all, I am NOT a morning person and have NEVER been. In the mornings, I get up at the last possible second so that I will still make it to work on time. Doing or even combing my hair is not possible. Luckily, I am on the radio so YOU never have to see me. But poor Jon, with HIS perfect hair, has to see me every morning. And I think he's had enough! ;-)

Willie Nelson Auditions for 'The Hobbit' on Conan

Leslie Morgan — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 15:45:57 +0000

Willie Nelson turns 80 years old TODAY! One of the things I LOVE about Willie is not only his amazing song writing or his no compromise attitude toward his lifestyle, but his sense of humor. The last time he was in Evansville, I was fortunate to see and hear his dry wit first hand.

Recently on Conan, Willie made an audition tape for the role of Gandalf, in the movie 'The Hobbit' for director Peter Jackson. Although, Willie, I'm sure was doing it tongue in cheek while being poked and prodded by Conan and his writers, I think he is PERFECT for the role!!! Take a look...
