Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Epic Flower Fail!

When picking up my first love for our very first date, I thought it would be a GREAT IDEA to bring Dried Flowers instead of live ones. I thought it would be easier for her to cherish them by pressing them in a book. Didn’t go over too well. What should have I done?
A: Collected live flowers from the neighbors flower bed.
B: Collected the flowers that fell on the field after the homecoming celebration.
C: Just called 1-800-FLOWERS.

Of course the answer is C. Congratulations Allan Dolan from Kingston! You won The Wolf Prize Pack! 2 tickets to Million Dollar Quartet and a $50 Gift Card from 1-800-FLOWERS. Now you’re in the running for the Grand Prize…a $200.00 Gift Certificate to Ship Lantern Inn!

Super Bowl 46: The National Anthem and Other Performances...

Kelly Clarkson did not have a Christina Aguilera moment Sunday while performing the national anthem at the Super Bowl at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Unlike Christina, who muffed the lyrics to "The Star-Spangled Banner" at last year's Big Game, Kelly delivered a clean rendition of the song. She was backed by the Indianapolis Children's Choir. In case you placed a bet on how long Kelly's rendition of the national anthem would last, she clocked in at around one minute, 35 seconds. Before Kelly had her moment in the spotlight, Blake Shelton and his wife, fellow country music superstar Miranda Lambert, performed a duet of "America the Beautiful." All three artists have a connection to NBC, which aired the Super Bowl. Shelton is a judge/coach on The Voice -- which premiered after the Super Bowl broadcast -- and he will welcome Lambert and Clarkson as guest mentors on his team this season. The official start of NBC's Super Bowl game broadcast began with a new version of Faith Hill's Sunday Night Football theme. It was the same music, but with revised lyrics to coincide with the Super Bowl.

Country Stars Share Their Super Bowl Plans and Predictions...

Upwards of a billion people will tune in to the Super Bowl this Sunday, and that number includes some of country's hottest starts. Chris Young will be tuning in for the pre-game show to see his pals Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert sing "America the Beautiful" before kickoff. He says, "I'm gonna be excited for 'em. That's a big deal, and obviously, that's one of those events that really is truly, classically American." As for who he thinks will triumph in this Sunday's game, Chris admits he "really doesn't have a dog in that fight." He says, "If I gotta go out on a limb, I'm gonna go Giants."
Dierks Bentley performed at the Super Bowl Village in Indianapolis last weekend, but you won't find him especially rooting for either team. "I just want a great game,". He's actually hoping for a down-to-the-wire finish with a possible outcome in overtime. Says Dierks, "That'd be pretty cool. The longer you can keep drinking during the game, the better."
Luke Bryan will definitely be tuning in to the Super Bowl at a party with friends, but he admits that football doesn't mean as much to him since his two sons came along. A few weeks ago, Luke was fired up to watch some NFL playoff games, but his two sons wanted him to enjoy the sunny day outside instead. "When you don't get to see your children much, you know, football takes a backseat."

Keith Urban Starts Role as Judge on Australian Version of The Voice Later This Month.

Keith Urban will begin flying back and forth to Sydney later this month to fulfill his role as a judge on the Australian version of The Voice. He's looking forward to "getting the opportunity to try and help some killer raw talent blossom." Keith says, "I have a feeling that being immersed in that new kind of 'everything is possible' energy, will have a real inspiring and liberating effect on creating new music for my new album!"
Keith plans to spend a lot of time in Nashville working on that new album. He's already started writing and finding songs for that project, but no release date has been set yet.

Kelly Clarkson to Perform National Anthem at Super Bowl; Shelton & Lambert "America the Beautiful".

It'll be Kelly Clarkson singing the national anthem at the upcoming Super Bowl. NBC confirmed it today, also announcing that Blake Shelton and wife Miranda Lambert will perform "America the Beautiful" prior to the NFL championship game. Their version of "America the Beautiful" is now available for download at iTunes. As already announced, Madonna is the halftime performer. It'll be Clarkson's first time performing at the Super Bowl. It's also interesting to note that Shelton and Lambert join only a handful of artists who have ever performed "America the Beautiful" at the big game. The others are Vicki Carr (Super Bowl 11), Mary J. Blige and Marc Anthony (Super Bowl 36), Alicia Keys (Super Bowl 39), Faith Hill (Super Bowl 43), Queen Latifah (Super Bowl 44), Lea Michele (Super Bowl 46) and, of course, Ray Charles (Super Bowl 35).

Taylor Swift Not Cast as Eponine in New Film Version of Les Misérables After All.

Taylor Swift will not be appearing in the new film version of Les Misérables after all. At least she won't be playing the role of Eponine. According to BroadwayWorld.com, Samantha Barks, who played Eponine on London's West End, will reprise that role in the film. Taylor won't be twiddling her thumbs this year though. She's wrapping up her Speak Now World Tour this March in Australia and New Zealand. A new album from Taylor is expected before year's end as well. Taylor will also perform on the 54th Annual Grammy Awards on CBS February 12.
