Toby Keith I Like Girls That Drink Beer Video

Posted on by

The Official Music Video For Toby Keith’s “I Like Girls That Drink Beer.” Toby Keith’s latest single, “I Like Girls That Drink Beer,” is becoming a major hit with the women who prefer an ice-cold-can over a flute of champagne. The video was shot at a concert and it looks like one huge party. There seem to be no men in the audience, which is quite all right with Keith because the song mentions nothing of the male gender! All the women are cheering and chugging as they watch the man and his red solo cup do his thing on stage. Watch the video for “I Like Girls That Drink Beer” now!

Eric Church Talks About CMA Nominations

Posted on by

Eric Church Reacts To His 5 CMA Nominations. Eric Church had no idea he would lead the pack of contenders with the most nominations for the 2012 CMA Awards. Following his first-ever CMA nomination for New Artist of the Year at last year’s awards show, Church received a total of five nominations this year including: Male Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year (CHIEF), Single of The Year (“Springsteen”), Song of the Year (“Springsteen”), and Music Video of the Year (“Springsteen”). While swimming in the Gulf of Mexico on vacation this past week, Church lost his cell phone and had no way to be informed he’d even been nominated at all. However, when he returned to Nashville his management whisked him away to their office, projected the press release from the CMA on an oversized screen in his manager John Peets’ office, and waited for his reaction. “I really don’t even know what to say! I’m still a little bit in shock… I’m truly speechless. I think it’s a testament to the fans that believed in the music… loved the music… and told people about the music because otherwise we don’t really have the track record to be the most nominated at this point in our career. I think that it’s truly because of the fans… they did something I think is going to be judged as pretty special.” -Church In order to thank them for all of their support over the years, Church created a special video address that went out to Church Choir members exclusively on Wednesday. On Sept. 13, Church will kick off the fall leg of The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour in Amherst, MA and will release his first-ever live album in 2013.

Kellie Pickler Shaves Her Head

Posted on by

Kellie Pickler Has Shaved Her Head In Support Of Her Friend And The Breast Cancer Cause. Kellie Pickler has stood beside her best friend—a childhood friend who Pickler refers to as her “sister”—Summer Holt Miller throughout her breast cancer prognosis and subsequent treatment since receiving word of the diagnosis in June of this year, but yesterday in Nashville, Tenn., the inseparable duo took their stance against cancer one step further when they both buzzed their hair to bring awareness to the importance of early detection. As revealed on ABC’s Good Morning America exclusively, Pickler and Miller shared their story as Miller was just 36 years old when she received word of her diagnosis. “Cancer does not discriminate.” -Pickler “If this compels even one person to change their mentality toward waiting until the age of 40 for their mammogram, then it will be worth it.” -Miller A behind-the-scenes video capturing the ladies’ cuts and truthful candor about Miller’s diagnosis and treatment will be shared on Athena® Water’s website, www.athenawater.com, and Athena® will make a monetary donation to the American Cancer Society in Miller’s honor. Athena® will contribute a minimum of $2 million to support breast cancer awareness, care, education and research by 2014. “So many people feel helpless when a loved one is diagnosed with breast cancer. Athena gives everyone the chance to make a difference, with every bottle of water, 365 days of the year.” -Dillon Schickli, Athena CEO For every bottle of water purchased, a portion of the proceeds benefits breast cancer awareness.
