Thoughts From Craig Morgan...Former U.S. Army Ranger!

Earlier this year we got CRAIG MORGAN'S take on the killing of Osama bin Laden. Craig's a former Army Ranger who's served overseas, so I respect his opinion. So here's what he thinks about the U.S. pulling our troops out of Iraq. He said, quote, "It's a good thing. It's where we're at. We will still have a presence there. "But as far as a show of force and a large group, it's not necessary anymore. I know this for a fact. I've been there recently and we don't need as many people there as we had in the past. "But we do need a presence and I'm confident that we will maintain a presence in that country in the same way we have in Korea since the Korean War." One more thing: Craig got in early on the whole SOP craze, which is where you take photos of people "Sleeping on Plane". But now it's morphed into something way better. Now Craig and his crew snap photos of kickass mullets. Craig says, quote, "Me and the whole band, we're mullet hunters. So we try to find as many people with mullets as we can and take pictures."

Here's a photo Craig posted of a dude rocking a world-class rat-tail mullet! LMAO!

Miranda Lambert Thinks It's Sad That Kim Kardashian's Divorce Is Considered Headline News

When it comes to showbiz marriages, MIRANDA LAMBERT expects hers with BLAKE SHELTON to go the distance. She told CMT.com, quote, "Divorce is not an option. That's what my mom has always said. That's what I'm gonna take to my marriage. It's so cool to have that example set for me my whole life. It's kind of clear that (divorce) can't happen."Miranda was asked for her take on KIM KARDASHIAN filing for divorce from KRIS HUMPHRIES after 72 days of marriage. She didn't hold back. Miranda said, quote, "I wish that people would talk about news that mattered. I think it's sad that that's the headline news. There are way bigger issues to deal with, and it kind of makes me think we need to check ourselves."

A TV Station in Canada Held a $2 Million Lottery Drawing . . . and Their Sports Anchor Won!

The Global BC TV network in Vancouver held a lottery on Halloween, and the grand prize was a $2.5 million house. And when they did the drawing on live TV, the winner turned out to be the station's SPORTS ANCHOR! His name is Barry Deley. And he wasn't in the studio. But as soon as they found out he won, the two news anchors called him, and put the call on the air. He was at the grocery store when he got the news. The lottery benefited the British Columbia Children's Hospital. And it turns out Deley's daughter was a patient there when she battled leukemia seven years ago. Deley and his family get to choose from five different prizes. There are four different properties including an estate worth $2.5 million. Or they can take $2 million in cash! Barry told his colleagues he had a DREAM this would happen.

The Cops Pulled Brad Paisley Over for DUI . . . Even Though He Was Stone Cold Sober!

When was the last time you heard about a celebrity getting pulled over for DUI and then let go, because they were stone cold sober? Never? Well, here's your first. It happened to BRAD PAISLEY, whom, as you may know, doesn't drink or smoke. He told "Nightline", quote, "I got pulled over the other day for suspected DUI, which was funny because I'm never drunk.I hadn't had a drink at all. "I had two kids in the back seat. We had been to get ice cream. And to my kids, it was the greatest thing that's ever happened. They ran through the house when we got home telling everybody that Daddy got arrested." One more thing about Brad's interview with "Nightline". He was asked if there are any surprise headliners coming up at next week's CMAs, which Brad is co-hosting with CARRIE UNDERWOOD. There is. Brad said, quote, "HANK WILLIAMS JR. "I know Hank really well. He shouldn't have said what he said, but I know Hank, and I like Hank. (We thought), let's figure something out he can do to make up for it, if that fits, so he can start a comeback."

Here's Brad's full interview on "Nightline".

Miranda Lambert Can't Stop Adopting Stray Dogs

Perhaps someday MIRANDA LAMBERT and BLAKE SHELTON will start a family. But until then, Blake will have to put up with her adopting just about every mutt that rambles her way. In January she took in two strays, which upped their total to seven. And on Sunday she Tweeted, quote, "This wandered up last night. 7-month-old bloodhound. Ophelia is what I named her. Lord not another one." Hours later she Tweeted that it's healthy and will be her "good luck charm". That makes eight.

(Side Note: Not sure if the pup pictured in the pic is actually one of Miranda's. Just sayin'... :) -Hammer

"The Voice's" Dia Frampton and Xenia Helped Blake Shelton Get "Excited Again" About Performing

Here's proof that no matter how glamorous your job is, you eventually take it for granted. BLAKE SHELTON was in a professional rut, but he didn't even know it until he started working with the contestants on "The Voice". Blake said, quote, "From the standpoint of having been a guy who's been doing this for 10 years now, it's easy to get calloused and it's easy to forget what it was like to not have this (career). "Being around (teammates DIA FRAMPTON and XENIA), and seeing that look in their eyes and seeing that excitement when I took them out on the road with me . . . "It was [a] reminder of 'Oh my God, somewhere along the way I forgot what that was like and how lucky I am.' It rejuvenated me. Maybe that's why I got so attached to those two because they were making me feel alive again and excited about music."
