Ladies, is there a certain song that puts you in the fightin’ mood?  Does it happen to be “Mama’s Broken Heart by Miranda Lambert?  Miranda had to stop playing it early in her shows because the fights would disrupt everything. It’s now the first song in what she calls “the final push.”  It’s where she really kicks it into gear.  She does “Mama’s Broken Heart”, then “Gunpowder & Lead”“Little Red Wagon”, and “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)”. Quote, “We do this final push at the end of the show.  So, if the girls are fighting, they [can] just fight through the rest of the set.”

Still on the fence about tonight’s “ACM Honors”?  Here are some highlights.  Eric Church will be surprising Morgan Wallen with the ACM Milestone Award.  Shania Twain will be given the ACM Poet’s Award. Chris Stapleton receives the ACM Spirit Award, and Miranda Lambert gets her Triple Crown Award for winning ACM Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, and New Artist of the Year.

Carly Pearce talks about The Performances At This Year’s ACM Honors Show … “Loved Vince [Gill]. He honored Stapleton, which just, anytime Vince Gill sings I die for. Shania just in general, getting to see everybody and their performances.. But I think that my favorite performance of the night was Brooks & Dunn honoring Miranda Lambert, singing ‘Kerosene. ’”The ACM Honors airs tonight on Fox.

OK! magazine says King Charles is considering making Prince Harry and Meghan Markle part-time Royals in order to end their family feud. A source tells the magazine, “Charles wants to fix the Harry and Meghan problem. The only way he’s going to stop them being a problem is to give into them, which it looks like he is going to do. But part of the deal would be Harry’s book needs to disappear in order for this to work.”

Getting a little background on Jackson Dean, he tells EverettPost.com that his entire family worked construction. The ‘Don’t come Lookin’ singer says he and his brothers, from birth, worked for their father. He always worked construction. Just manual labor. Never worked in a restaurant, never did anything like that. It was hard, but rewarding work.”

The List for Thursday, March 13th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Imagine paying good money to see Chris Stapleton live… only to take a nap. That’s exactly what an Australian couple did—out cold in the middle of the concert! Their friends, being absolute menaces, surrounded them with empty beer cans. When the couple woke up, they had a full-blown hangover without the fun part.

The List for Wednesday, March 12th 2025

Blake Shelton just can't seem to stop with all the onstage PDA.  First Trace Adkins told him no more kisses on the cheek.  Now this . . .A video of Blake bringing an 84-year-old lady on stage for a birthday hug is making the rounds online.  It was pretty cute.  It happened two weekends ago at his show in Greensboro, North Carolina.  She was out in the crowd with a sign that said, "May I hug you for my 84th birthday?" (WARNING:  He says the word "damn" early on in the video, and the song lyrics include the phrase "wild-a**."  She shows up on stage around 1:20.)

-----

RadarOnline.com says the Oscars bosses are considering offering Chris Rock a huge sum to host the 2026 Academy Awards in hopes he can inject excitement back into the show. It seems he has unfinished business following the Will Smith affair and he'd be a huge audience winner.
