Picture of the Week: Steel Magnolia’s Meghan Linsey Experiences Hulkamania
Hopefully Steel Magnolia‘s Meghan Linsey was able to get out of that restaurant without getting one of Hulk Hogan’s famous leg drops dropped on her from the top rope or the top of the bar. The blonde country singer tweeted the photo shown here, but didn’t explain why or where she was hanging out with the Hulkster.
Daily Roundup: Blake Shelton, Kenny Chesney + More
At the end of last season of ‘The Voice,’ Christina Aguilera teamed up with Adam Levine to record a song for Maroon 5. It seems she could team up with Blake Shelton when this season finishes up, or maybe earlier. Read about that possibility and watch Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw‘s new video for ‘Feel Like a Rock Star’ in the Daily Roundup below.
Cutest Pets in Country Music
Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum has a puppy that looks like a living teddy bear. Jake Owen has two slobbery bulldogs. Who’s to say that one is cuter than the other, however? You can make that decision on your own at the end of this list of the cutest pets in country music.
Tim McGraw – Then and Now
You can still recognize Tim McGraw by his eyes and mustache, but much of the rest of his face is quite different in 2012. The singer is in much better shape than he was in this picture from 1993, for starters. There is something else that is different, and we can’t quite place it…
Sugarland Never Resisted Delaying Indiana State Fair Concert, Jennifer Nettles Says
While it’s possible that Sugarland‘s tour manager resisted delaying the start of the tragic Indiana State Fair show on the band’s behalf last August, the conversation was never relayed to Jennifer Nettles.

George Strait, ‘Drinkin’ Man’ – Song Review
When you’ve been around for over 30 years and put almost 60 songs on top of the Billboard charts, it’s probably difficult to surprise people, right? Actually, if you’ve made it that far it’s because you’ve turned surprises into a career. George Strait‘s new song ‘Drinkin’ Man’ is a gut-punch one dials up again and again.
Carrie Underwood vs. Eric Church – The Showdown
Blake Shelton made a late charge, but his song ‘Drink on It’ fell a few votes short during last week’s Showdown. ‘Good Girl’ by Carrie Underwood is now a three-time winner, meaning she needs just one more win to have the song retired into the Taste of Country Showdown Hall of Fame.
Whitney Duncan Seeks Prayers for Holly Bobo on One-Year Anniversary of Disappearance
One year ago today (April 13), Holly Bobo — the cousin of country singer Whitney Duncan — went missing from her home in Decatur County, Tenn. With very little still known about her disappearance, Duncan took to Twitter with a heavy heart to ask for prayers during what is obviously a very difficult day for her family.
Favorite Country Couple – Readers Poll
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have been married for 16 years, while Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert are a young couple, having said “I do” just under a year ago. Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood will celebrate seven years this December, but even those three famed pairs put together don’t equal the all-time most famous country couple. Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash were married for 45 years before her death in 2003.
Keith Urban, ‘For You’ – Song Review
The release of ‘For You’ as Keith Urban‘s new single seems loaded with trepidation. Typically (but certainly not always) an artist will release a single, make a video and then perform it at an awards show. With ‘For You’ the order was jumbled, perhaps indicating that Urban’s team wasn’t sure how the song would be received by fans and radio.
