'American Idol' May Fire All

Moon Mullins — Thu, 09 May 2013 17:00:57 +0000

The days when 'American Idol' had thirty million viewers has -- at least for now -- dropped to eleven million. Randy Jackson has been there since the start, and many other judges have come and gone, but this may be the first time ALL will be replaced. Who would replace them. I suggest John Legend. That dude was great on Project Runway. Taylor Swift would be brilliant and she would bring those precious 18-49 year-olds back. How about Kelly Ripa? Jimmy Kimmel? Who do you think would be a good choice?

Tim McGraw Addresses Distracted Driving In Latest VIDEO

Jaclyn Graves — Thu, 09 May 2013 16:13:07 +0000

I like to think that I don't drive and text. I like to think that I am a safe driver and keep distractions to a minimal. Truth is, I do sometimes send a quick "I'm on my way" or "LOL" response. I've seen the commercials pleading drivers to not text and drive. I was just behind a teenage girl yesterday and I could tell that she had both hands around the steering-wheel, texting away, driving down Frederica. This is not ok. We MUST STOP driving and texting!

Tim McGraw's latest single "The Highway Don't Care" is a beautiful song, I've loved it every since I heard it for the first time. Tim's video for this song acknowledges the problems with texting and driving and is a must see!

PLEASE watch this video and let's all STOP distracted driving!

Keith Urban's "For You" [VIDEO]

Jaclyn Graves — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 17:08:25 +0000

Being that I was at home yesterday, cuddled up on my couch sick, I had lots of time on my hands for T.V. watching. After about 16 old episodes of Criminal Minds (I LOVE that show!!), I wondered over to watching country music videos.

I have heard the new Keith Urban song "For You" a few times, but watching the video really put it into a new perspective for me. The song is featured on the Act Of Valor soundtrack and the video really made me emotional. It's a great perspective on what our military goes through while serving our country.

Check it out and let me know what you think!
