blake and Gwen's video debuts & Ingrid Andress hopes pixar comes calling
The video for Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani’s tune, ‘Nobody But You’ debuted today. I really liked it! One of my favorite scenes was when they’re eating in a diner and Blake uses a french fry as a microphone when he sings to Gwen. They also show scenes of them at his farm, on a coach with one of his dogs and a few more lovely dovey things but it’s not too over the top.
Speaking of Blake, he says the strangest gift he ever got from a fan was found one night after he got off stage. Among the stuffed animals there was a brown paper sack and when he opened it, an iguana crawled out! Blake said he screamed like a girl when it launched itself from the sack and landed on his shirt. It’s funny he was surprised because growing up Blake was obsessed with the Texas horned lizard.
As a baby, Luke Bryan was so sickly, his mom had to bounce him a lot. She hummed while she bounced him and Luke could actually hum songs before he could even talk. In the 2nd grade Luke was hit by a car but thankfully did not have any permanent damage.

Finally - Maren Morris’ husband Ryan Hurd has been spoiling his wife during her pregnancy. He’ll not only walk downstairs to get her ice cream now, he’ll take it back when she’s done.

Blake Shelton's restaurant opens in Orlando April 13 & Jason Aldean on his best career advice ever
Blake Shelton will open his fourth Ole Red restaurant and bar in Orlando, FL April 13. There will be live music, seating for 500, a private event area and three bars. The menu will include Blake’s signature Champagne of Fried Chicken that’s marinated in beer plus dishes native to Orlando as well.
Trisha Yearwood makes records and tours. She also has a cooking show, a furniture line and bestselling cookbooks giving her a net worth of $40 million. Garth just does music and his net worth’s about $350 million.
Luke Combs revealed he does not do bar soap anymore only the liquid kind; even in the shower.
Brett Eldredge starts the day healthy and his normal breakfast is a peanut butter, banana, almond milk, blueberry smoothie.
Finally - Jason Aldean says the best career advice he ever got was from Tim McGraw who said, ‘be aware of every move you make as you’re ultimately the boss of your own career.’
This recipe is inspired by Blake Shelton’s popular Ole Red restaurant chain.
Champagne of Fried Chicken
¾ cup dill pickle brine
3 Tbsp kosher salt, divided
3 (12-oz) bottles Miller High Life, divided
1 fresh thyme sprig
1 bay leaf
1 whole chicken, cut into 8-10 pieces
Canola oil, for frying
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup finely ground cornmeal
2 Tbsp smoked paprika
1½ Tbsp black pepper
1 Tbsp onion powder
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp cayenne
In a small saucepan, combine pickle brine and 2 Tbsp salt to a boil. Cook 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until salt dissolves. Remove from heat; stir in 2 bottles of beer, thyme sprig and bay leaf. Transfer to a bowl large enough to hold brine and chicken. Cool to room temperature; refrigerate until cold. Add chicken to cold brine; refrigerate 6-12 hours. Fill a large Dutch oven or pot with 3 inches oil. Heat to 350°F. In pie plate, combine flour, cornmeal, remaining 1 Tbsp kosher salt, paprika, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme and cayenne. Pour remaining bottle of beer into a shallow bowl. Set a wire rack over a sheet pan. Working with one piece at a time, remove chicken from brine, shaking off excess. Dredge in flour mixture, dip in beer and dredge again in flour mixture. Place on wire rack; let stand 3 minutes. Fry 8-10 minutes or until golden and chicken registers 165°F on a meat thermometer, turning to cook evenly. (Fry chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding pan.) Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.

Keith Urban’s wife Nicole Kidman was in tears at a Golden Globes party Saturday in LA after she heard their home in Australia was being threatened by fires there. They have a house in Sydney and a 100-acre farm a few hours away. This weekend Keith and Nic made a $500,000 donation to the Rural Fire Services.
Dolly Parton's husband, 77-year-old Carl Dean was photographed last month running errands in Brentwood, TN. Carl’s avoided being photographed for over four decades. I hear he and Dolly live in a different buildings on their property.
Finally - this weekend Miranda Lambert snuck up on her shirtless husband as he was cooking and singing ‘Sweet Child O' Mine’ by Guns N' Roses. You can see Miranda on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert tonight.

Dierks Bentley’s band has a record deal & Kane Brown has a secret talent.
Dierks Bentley’s 90s parody cover band, Hot Country Knights just signed a record deal. Dierks is lead singer Doug Douglason and all the guys wear wigs that are either mullets, shags or heavily permed plus lots of sleeveless tank tops. Their goal is to bring real ’90s country music back to radio.
Luke Combs owns 200 guitars including one that belonged to Johnny Cash. A few years ago he saw a post from Carters Vintage Guitars in Nashville saying they had one of Johnny's for sale. Luke said he couldn’t drive there fast enough to pick it up. He paid 6 figures for it.
Kane Brown has a secret talent. His wife says he’s the best swaddler she’s ever seen and when he does that his infant daughter Kingsley immediately stops crying.
Finally - when Miranda Lambert tours, she’s terrified she’ll accidentally say the wrong city in front of the crowd so she always writes the cities name in huge capital letters on her set list.

Keith Urban’s getting grief on social media & Carrie Underwood will stop hosting the CMA Awards
Keith Urban headlined Nashville’s New Year’s Eve concert in front of a record-breaking 200,000 plus crowd. Keith’s getting grief on social media tho over what he wore that night; a black and red striped sweater many thought looked like the one worn by Freddy Krueger in Nightmare on Elm Street.
Kane Brown tweeted, “2020 was always the year we were supposed to have flying cars and all we get is a car that parks its self.”
Carly Pearce married Michael Ray a few months ago and she’s now officially changed her last name. Carly said it took 8-hours of running all over Nashville to get it done tho.
Jake Owen took to social media yesterday writing, “my whole life I’ve had 20/20 vision, so this has got to be the year everything makes sense.”
Finally - Carrie Underwood will stop hosting the CMA Awards after 12 years. No replacement has been named yet but I pick Kelsie Ballerini and Thomas Rhett for Brad Paisley.
