It’s one of Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley’s most famous moments in their nine years as Cma Awards co-hosts: the time, in 2014, when Paisley told the world that Underwood, who was five months pregnant, would be having a baby boy.
But on Saturday, at a special Cma Festival event, Underwood revealed she was adamantly against the idea at first.
She and her husband, Mike Fisher, “try to keep certain things for ourselves,” she explained, “and that was kind of one of them.”
But after executive producer Robert Deaton resorted to what he described as “begging,” Underwood finally relented...

“In the early days we were competition to each other.

At Sunday's Video Music Awards, Kanye West was awarded MTV's highest honor: the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. For a moment, the world briefly stopped turning (citation needed) so West could deliver a long-winded, emotional roller coaster of a speech, covering everything from grocery store visits to the importance of "listening to the kids, bro" to Justin Timberlake's tears.
The subsequent announcement of his presidential run came as a surprise, and not just because he yelled, "I'm not no politician, bro!" earlier in the speech. By most accounts, the rapper has zero governing experiencing. However, we think it's precisely...

(Rns) When Christian music veteran Carman found out on Valentine’s Day that he had terminal cancer, he thought God just might be calling him home because he had nothing more to give.
“I’ve had so many harsh things happen to me over the last 12 years, it was almost a situation that made sense,” he said after he was given three to five years to live and no chance of being cured of multiple myeloma, a cancer of the blood that affects the bone marrow.
“I thought I could see this coming to a close,” Carman said in an interview. “I wasn’t really doing anything. I’ve had hardly any requests for concerts. I wasn’t recording. I wasn’t productive. The things I needed to do best, I wasn’t doing. I figured my time was up.”

This week with the divas, we slowly inched our way back to an atmosphere of sisterly love and support after the drama overload of last week. Slowly. We also got to see a spotlight on our girl Monifah, which is always more than welcome. The episode begins with Mo over at Latocha’s house, where Mo invites her to New York for the showcase she’s putting on for her birthday. Not only is it her sort of reintroduction to the musical world as who she is now, it’s the first time she’s played a show in New York, her hometown, in over ten years. As the official title of this episode says, work it, girl.
As Mo leaves Atlanta on her trek to The City, she obviously calls up her friend Queen Latifah to ask her if she’ll be around for the showcase.

From the director of Calendar Girls and Saving Grace, Nigel Cole comes the new comedy-drama with an all star British cast, Made in Dagenham. Paramount Pictures UK is delighted to announce the theatrical release on October 1st in both the UK and Ireland for the film that was formerly known under the working title of We Want Sex.

Still boyishy handsome, Ricky Schroder will celebrate his 40th birthday on Tuesday with a pizza party - no small feat, given that he and his wife and four children now live in Spain. "I feel good," the former Silver Spoons star tells People, also noting good-naturedly that he does suffer occasional lower back pain and possibly needs reading glasses. But most of all, reaching the milestone has afforded him perspective - which explains, at his wife Andrea's urging, why the family packed their bags and moved to Spain last June. "Our oldest son is going to college in the fall,...

Though the latter half of his career has been maligned by that unfortunate incident in a bathroom a few years back, George Michael was once a pretty big deal. One of the biggest, actually, as his eight chart-topping singles in the 1980s is a record he shares with the legendary Michael Jackson (though George had three of those singles as half of Wham!). Following his split from Andrew Ridgeley, Michael scored massive hits with songs like "Faith," "Father Figure" and "One More Try."
Though he opened the 1990s with the multi-platinum Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1, Michael has yet to be able to top the overwhelming ubiquity of his solo debut Faith. Legal battles with his label and huge gaps between albums allowed him to slip off the radar for a while, and both of his comeback albums (1996's Older and 2004's Patience) were received tepidly in the U.S. (though...

If Adam Lambert wins "American Idol" this week, as expected, where will he be in several years? Touring America's backwaters in old stage musicals like Taylor Hicks — or else not doing much at all like Ruben Studdard? Or will Adam Lambert be seen collecting major awards at podiums like past champs Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson? If Kris Allen wins "American Idol," I can see parallels to top Grammy grabbers like Rob Thomas and John Mayer, as I reported earlier. But there's a problem trying to peg Adam Lambert. When was the last time we had his equivalent sweep the Grammys? The last guy who wore as much eyeliner as Lambert and won the Grammy for best record of the year was Billie Joe Armstrong and Green Day ("Boulevard of Broken Dreams," 2006), who's a lot more macho than Lambert. That quality sometimes is key to success in the music biz...
