Jason Aldean Caught Cheating

Posted on by

Jason Aldean Caught Canoodling With Woman. Over the weekend, news broke that country music star Jason Aldean had been caught in a very inappropriate situation. The not quite trustworthy and shady in its own right gossip monger, TMZ released photos of Aldean in various phases of flirting, kissing and other PDA with a young woman that was clearly not his wife. This put the country music singer, and up ’til this point CMNB favorite, in a position that made it impossible to deny what he’d done. He owned up to it, siting over intoxication as the culprit, with an apology to fans admitting that he’d been careless. He asked that everyone let him have some privacy to deal with the matter with his family. Here are some things to consider… -He IS a married man. -Along with the majority of his fans, the other woman is aware he IS married. -He did NOT leave with the woman. -This whole mess happened in a VERY public place. Where were his friends, band mates, manager or someone that is closely connected to him when this was happening? Did they not care? Not only that he was disrespecting his wife, but also that he was doing a great deal of damage to his image? The big question is what happens next…will his marriage survive this? Will this cause trouble for his upcoming album release sales? Although this is a private matter, you have to remember that Country Music artist’s private lives are very closely tied to their career. They are known to many as family men or good ole’ boys…they invite fans into their world and whether it is fair or not, fans hold them accountable for ALL of their actions. Take Randy Travis, LeAnn Rimes or Natalie Maines (Dixie Chicks) for example. What do you think? Do you forgive him? Will you still be a fan? Comment below with your opinions.

Dolly Parton Ditches Waterpark

Posted on by

Dolly Parton Pulls Out of Plans for Nashville Waterpark! Earlier this year, it was announced that country music powerhouse, Dolly Parton, was in the thick of plans to create a waterpark in Nashville, TN. It looks like this is one project Parton won’t be seeing to completion though. Dolly’s team has released an official statement indicating that she will no longer be involved in the plans. While her words are tactful and diplomatic, if we read between the lines, it looks like someone was trying to push this woman around a little bit, and those of us that love Dolly, know that was a mistake! “Gaylord makes decisions that they feel are good for their company and their stockholders and I have to make decisions based on what is best for me and the Dollywood Company. Governor Haslam, Mayor Dean, and all the folks in government have been great to work with. I really appreciate their support through this process. I think everyone knows I love Nashville and I hope the work we’ve already done will spark more family entertainment in Nashville.” -Dolly Parton This news is a bit of a bummer, but luckily we still have plenty of Dolly-themed fun to experience already!

I never got to be a part of that, so I am looking forward to it.” -Moore Moore played point guard for Wallace State’s basketball team and also played on its golf team in Hanceville, Ala., for two years and then transferred to Valdolsta State University on a golf scholarship.

Reba McEntire Retires From Hosting The ACMs

Reba Will No Longer Host The Academy Of Country Music Awards. Reba McEntire has announced that she will no longer host the Academy of Country Music Awards. She has “passed the torch to Blake,” who she has co-hosted with for the last two years. Before that Reba ran the show solo starting in 1999. Although this is sad news, it is good to hear she is confident that Shelton can get the job done! However, the two did make fans chuckle with their back and forth comedy on the previous years. I have to wonder if she is too busy with her new show Malibu Country or if she just feels it is time to step down? Whatever the case may be, we still love her! Here’s to Reba, a very classy lady!
