Miranda Lambert Channels ‘The Hunger Games,’ Goes Hog Hunting
Move over Katniss Everdeen! Miranda Lambert got into the spirit of the heroine and archer of ‘The Hunger Games’ saga with her own bow and arrow right before Thanksgiving, as she and husband Blake Shelton went hog hunting to nab their meal.
While Lambert is a girl’s girl who loves the color pink (she just opened up a shop called the Pink Pistol in Oklahoma), she isn’t afraid to throw down with the boys and take aim at game. Shelton shared a photo of his lady’s outdoor exploits, showing her dressed in camo hunting fatigues and brandishing a pink plastic cup from her new retail establishment. The photo effectively demonstrates all sides of Lambert’s personality and interests.
“Baby it’s time we got back to the basics of love…first time in the woods this season. & with BS! #katnissforever,” Lambert tweeted last weekend. In the space of a single tweet, she quoted Waylon Jennings and gave a shoutout to Katniss. Of course, the “BS” she is referring to is not bull you-know-what, but her hubby, with whom she was out looking to bag some wild hogs.
She also shared the essentials that she needs to tote when on a hunt: “All the important things for hunting.. Bow. Camo. Binoculars. Pink cup. lip gloss!” she wrote. See what we meant about Lambert being both a girl’s girl and a guy’s girl?
A few hours later, Lambert revealed that she’d captured her Thanksgiving dinner. She posted: “Wild hog for thanksgiving! #katnissforever.” At least she cooks what she kills! It’s not all for the thrill of the chase or for naught.
In a recent interview, Shelton gave the ‘Fastest Girl in Town’ hitmaker props for her skills, saying, “Miranda is the real deal. She doesn’t just sing about guns and things like that. She dos it. She’s a big bow hunter.”

‘Koalaing’ Could Be the Cutest Web Photo Trend Yet
Forget (if you haven't already) milking, planking, hadokening, any of those-ings that were internet fads for a hot minute. They've been replaced. They're done. Koalaing -- that's the trick o' the day. It involved clinging as tightly to a pole or tree as possible like a koala. It's pretty adorable. Check it out.

Remember When George Strait Went to Prison?
It was the wildest show behind bars, and George Strait was in the thick of it for one year in the early '80s. He wasn't the only one. Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Tom T. Hall … they all did time behind the walls of the Huntsville Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Would Keith Urban Return to ‘American Idol’?

The singer and guitarist wants to return to his seat for Season 13 in 2014 and with good reason.
Deer Goes Crazy After Crashing Into a Bus
May 18, 2013 12:00 PM I have had my fair share of run ins with deer. Living in the country, it's just a way of life. You must, during the early morning hours and evening/night hours, constantly be on alert and have your eyes scanning the sides of the road.
Once, on a trip back to Indiana from Tennessee, a deer came inches away from slamming through the passenger side window of my car, injuring my son. Luckily, the deer hit the front of the windshield and rolled off the hood of the car. But in the case of this bus, it came right through the window and went crazy!!
Trick Shot Videos That Would Make LeBron and Tiger Jealous
May 18, 2013 8:00 AM Trick shot videos can be pretty amazing depending on how elaborate they are, which in some cases might even make you question their authenticity. The first Video is one of the most incredible basketball shots you will ever see featuring a guy falling from a 100-goot platform and dropping the ball through the hoop. The second video might be the greates trick golf shot ever and definitely a one-in-a-million shot.
‘Sixty for Sixty’ Campaign for George Strait Falls Short
May 18, 2013 4:00 AM George Strait turns 61 years old TODAY! The "Sixty for Sixty" campaign to get George his 60th #1 single while he was still 60 years old didn't quite make it, "Give It All We Got Tonight" has only made it to #10. But, that's OK, there is no one like George Strait and there quite possibly never will be. Several, I mean tons, of artists made videos to try and urge fans to buy the single. It is very touching. Watch them give love and admiration to the king of country music.

However, with everything going on in the world today and on the nightly newscasts, sometimes we just need something to remind us that life is good and humanity can be a beautiful thing.
