Nashville Season One Review – Drama Galore

Eric Cornish — Thu, 23 May 2013 23:00:02 +0000

If you enjoy twists and turns of a police drama and a sexy soap with all the fun of the country music business, then you should be watching Nashville on ABC. The show wrapped its first season last night and it's been announced they're back for a second in the fall. That's good because what a cliff hanger...or hangers actually.

Survivor of Oklahoma Tornado Finds Her Dog During Live Interview

Leslie Morgan — Tue, 21 May 2013 18:00:24 +0000

I have discovered that when all seems lost and that the darkness of a tragedy overwhelms you, miracles DO happen and prayers are answered. A survivor of the Oklahoma tornado, standing right out side of her leveled home, was being interviewed, LIVE on the air, about her terrifying and moving story of survival. She explained [...]

Honey Boo Boo's Mama June Ties the Knot on TLC – Well, Kinda

Townsquare Media — Fri, 10 May 2013 04:12:36 +0000

Did Mama June finally tie the knot with Sugar Bear after nine years? NOPE! They didn’t have a “wedding,” they had a “commitment ceremony,” just with a wedding dress, and a wedding cake, and wedding vows. The… ceremony was held in their Georgia backyard on May 5. Y’all better redneckognize their love is real! For [...]

Mind Reader Amazes Ellen, Her Audience and Leslie

Leslie Morgan — Thu, 02 May 2013 04:58:43 +0000

Yesterday I was watching ‘Ellen’ (who I LOVE BTW), and I was totally baffled and amazed while watching mind reader, Eric Dittelman. It was incredible.Take a look… Crazy, isn’t it?!?!?!? He also appeared on ‘America’s Got Talent’ UNBELIEVABLE!!! Magic trick or actual mind reading? It is a psychological game he is playing with us? I [...]

Lennon And Maisy Stella Sing 'Hey Ho' – Nashville's Best Performance Yet [VIDEO]

Eric Cornish — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 19:01:56 +0000

I am a big fan of ABC's show, Nashville. It really shows, in a somewhat exaggerated way, what it's like behind the scenes in the country music industry. A lot of decent music has come out of this show, but it's been more about drama lately and less about music. A song, performed by Maddie and Daphne, better known as Lennon and Maisy Stella, could be the best yet.

Controversial New Kmart Commercial Will Make You Ship Your Pants [VIDEO]

Eric Cornish — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 17:30:11 +0000

I came across this brand new commercial for Kmart today, and boy was I shocked. The shock quickly turned into laughter. As someone who write commercials, I think this is brilliant, but some may think this as is a little edgy. Now learn how you can ‘Ship Your Pants.’ So what do you think? Is [...]

American Idol Season 12 Top 6 – Ladies And Gentlemen Burt Bacharach

Eric Cornish — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 16:32:14 +0000

Considering Burt Bacharach was used as a running gag in the Austin Powers movies for his ‘elevator music,’ it’s not fair to say someone performing his songs was boring, but then again, when someone like Candice makes it incredibly entertaining, maybe it is fair to say. The contestants had two songs to sing on Wednesday. [...]

http://youtu.be/seJ2LTPaFfw

Kevin Ware may have snapped his right tibia during Sunday's Midwest Regional final against Duke, but things have been going pretty well for the Louisville guard since then. The Cardinals beat Duke that night and earned a Final Four spot, and Ware says he's healing nicely and will get to play again.

American Idol Season 12 Top 7 – Rock Me Gently

Eric Cornish — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 22:30:40 +0000

It wasn’t the hardest rock I’ve ever heard, but rock night on American Idol was a good showing for most of the top 7, and further proof that the girls are far superior. I’m pretty sure that was by design as I’ve said before, but it may be hurting them in the ratings. AI’s desire [...]

'Break Down Here' Singer, Julie Roberts Tries Out For The Voice And Gets Rejected

Eric Cornish — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 21:51:26 +0000

Well, this is a sad situation. If you remember the underrated tune from about 10 years ago, 'Break Down Here,' a song I've heard more at karaoke than on the radio, then you'll remember the young artist who performed it, Julie Roberts. Last night, she swallowed her pride and attempted to get back in the spotlight with a tryout on NBC's 'The Voice.' It didn't go well.

American Idol Season 12 Top 8 – Motown is Less (Town)

Eric Cornish — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 22:00:59 +0000

Maybe I was already tired, and that was the problem, but there was really nothing on last night's American Idol top 8 performance show that made me jump up and say 'wow!' I'm also not sure this solved any mysteries as to who might go home and who might stay. As a matter of fact, this could be the 'surprise' elimination night!

Jason Aldean and Coors are a Perfect Match

Leslie Morgan — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 09:00:51 +0000

Jason Aldean is featured in the new Coors commercial. And, if you ask me, the two are the perfect match. In the ad, the country cowboy meets the cowboy of the slopes. Both rugged, strong, fearless and did I mention HOT??? I don’t know about YOU, but I wanted the ad to last a [...]

10 Funniest Top Ten Lists Delivered By Athletes on 'The Late Show'

Danny Groner — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 18:20:42 +0000

Athletes who transcend their sports or help win a big game have the rare opportunity to cash in on the entertainment circuit. For some, that means getting the call to come read the ‘Top Ten’ on ‘The Late Show with David Letterman.’ However, not all athletes are as, um, qualified as others to bring the [...]

American Idol Season 12 Top 9 – Bigger Than The Beatles

Eric Cornish — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 22:00:23 +0000

I will probably get hate mail for saying this, but I have never been a big fan of The Beatles. I have thought from time to time, they were quite overrated. It took last night's American Idol to realize, it's the performance of the The Beatles I don't enjoy. The songs, however, when sung by the right person, are amazing. For the most part, the Idol top 9 nailed it last night!

Further Proof That Garth Brooks Is Making A Comeback – A Performance With George Strait At ACM Awards

Eric Cornish — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:26:39 +0000

I made mention in my 2013 Country Music Predictions to be looking for signs of a Garth Brooks return to country music and touring. Another sure sign has popped up, as not only will he be playing at George Jones farewell show in Nashville, but he's also teaming up with George Strait to pay tribute to Dick Clark in a special performance at the 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards.

Kellie Pickler Debuts On Dancing With The Stars Tonight – Eric Can't Wait To See Her Outfits

Eric Cornish — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 21:15:22 +0000

Ever since I heard that Kellie Pickler was set to appear on this season on ‘Dancing With The Stars,’ I have seriously considered changing my Monday night viewing from WWE wrestling. After all, it’s either John Cena and Randy Orton compete in skimpy outfits, or Kellie Pickler competing in skimpy outfits. OK, I’m sold! So [...]
