Blake Shelton Plans To Be Less Controversial On Twitter

Posted on by

Blake Shelton Wants to Be a Less Controversial Tweeter In The New Year…Not Off To The Best Start. Blake Shelton recently shared his 2013 New Years Resolution with US Weekly stating, “I need to work on being a less controversial tweeter.” Now, this is an admirable resolution, sure, but I for one particularly enjoy the outlandishness of Shelton’s tweets. His twitter feed is pretty much always a good place to go for a good laugh! Those of who like to get a chuckle from seeing what crazy thing Blake had to say, I don’t think we have too much to fear. It’s not looking like his New Year’s resolution is sticking so far. Check it out below. Blake Shelton Tweets: Controversial or Not? Hey @tmkansas…. Kiss my ass. That’s all… — Blake Shelton (@blakeshelton) January 4, 2013 “@okwildlifedept: how about an #FF for your friends at ODWC? It’s almost paddlefish season!”Will this get me out of a ticket?! — Blake Shelton (@blakeshelton) January 4, 2013 Nothing helps me make up my mind about the issues of this country like the tweets of celebrities. Thank you for your endless knowledge.. — Blake Shelton (@blakeshelton) January 4, 2013 “@ladysiarra80: Having a bad day, need a falling down, pissing myself laugh. Whatcha got?”Well I can’t post a picture of it!!! — Blake Shelton (@blakeshelton) January 3, 2013 Be sure to join in on the fun and follow @blakeshelton!

Julianne Hough Discusses Abuse Suffered As Child

Julianne Hough Tells Cosmo About Abuse She Suffered As A Child. In a recent article with popular magazine Cosmopolitan, actress and single Julianne Hough candidly opens up about abuse she experienced as a child in the entertainment business. Hough reportedly suggests that the fact she did not look her age when was younger played a part in how certain people treated her. In my mind, that’s no excuse for the mistreatment of a young woman, and props go to Julianne for having the guts to speak out about such a sensitive topic. Julianne Hough Candidly Discusses Abuse.

Zac Brown Band is headed to warmer weather today as they’re set to perform the national anthem at the 2013 BCS Championship Football Game in Miami, FL.

Dustin Lynch Interview: Talks First Album, Recent Success and What’s Up Next

MissMolly Chats with Dustin Lynch About His Eventful Year, Working On His Album,  What’s In Store Next and More! Earlier this afternoon, I got the chance to chat via phone with country newbie, Dustin Lynch, and I gotta say, I was digging his sound before and now I really am a full blown fan! Lynch is down to earth, gracious, and quite honestly shows every sign of being the real deal. There’s no doubt that we’re going to keep seeing and hearing more from this talented young man in the future. So, take a couple minutes and get to know him a little better below with excerpts from our chat! Cheers! Interview with Dustin Lynch: Dustin shared a little bit about the recording process, telling me that he worked with his two producers, Brett Beavers and Luke Wooten who are also two of his buddies, for three years on his debut album. There were a lot of long days, long nights and long weeks, but ultimately they came up with an end result that they were satisfied with. “We’re super proud of the sound we got off this album. I’m not an artist that’s gonna have just a couple hits and then filler songs. Top to bottom its gonna be solid.” Creating such a great album (my words, Lynch proved to be very humble when I praised his work!) right out the gate definitely takes a lot of hard work, and Dustin shared that he approached creating songs and the album a lot of different ways. “With songwriting it really depends. A lot of my writing I try to find the melody and phrasing that works with it. We might go, hey here’s a hook, and then we’ll start banging around on what music fits that, and then it kind of falls into place. With “Cowboys and Angels” that was a lyric that came first not the whole song but some pretty decent lines. Then we sat and  thought what could make this an epic love song? And we got that guitar riff and off it went. With “She Cranks My Tractor” we tried to get something up beat, but the song is really built out of that line, “She’s ten pounds of sugar in a five pound sack.” It set the tone for that song. But it happens different ways. If we find something we think is a hit, we try to work it out.“ There are 13 tracks on the album, and I tried to get Lynch to choose a favorite. It shouldn’t be surprising that that was a tall order from the young man that wrote or co-wrote ten of the songs off the record, and clearly put so much love and sweat into it. While he couldn’t pick a favorite, he did have this to say: There are a couple I love to do live. Though, “Your Plan” is my most personal song…I was getting kicked around pretty hard in Nashville, the business can be hard.
