Check Out The Cartoon Version of Brad Paisley from Tonight's "South Park"!

Last fall, BRAD PAISLEY did a quick thing on "South Park", voicing a few words as one of the little kids in the background. Well, he's back on the show TONIGHT, but this time he gets to play Brad Paisley! Brad shows up two different times. Early on he's singing the National Anthem at a Denver Nuggets basketball game. And then later he does a duet with one of the show's stars, Cartman. Brad's a huge fan of the show so he went nuts on Twitter with photos while he was at their studio. First he posted a photo of the animated version of himself. He also posted this message, quote, "You'll laugh. You'll cry. You may shart." CHECK IT OUT TONIGHT!!!

Scotty McCreery Was Hit in the Throat with a Baseball...

Despite being, like, everywhere, SCOTTY MCCREERY is still on his high school baseball team in Garner, North Carolina. But he had a scare during a game last week that could have been disastrous. Scotty was pitching whenthe opposing batter hit a one-hopper back to the mound that nailed him in the throat. Fortunately, Scotty recovered in time to throw the batter out and stay in the game. A record company suit confirmed that Scotty was not injured. He'll be fine. What is the odds of that even happening??

Why Miranda and Blake Won't Work Together Very Often.

We’ve heard Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert singing together on songs like “Home” and “Better in the Long Run,” from Miranda’s latest CD. But if you’re hoping for an entire album of duets, you might have to wait awhile. Miranda says the couple actually prefers to keep their collaborations few and far between. “We work pretty well together because we don’t do it often,” she believes. “I think that the key is we sort of pick and choose what we want to do together as artists because we don’t ever want the business to get in the way of our personal relationship.” She also thinks only working together every now and then helps keep their work together “special.” The two have already completed an entire CD together -- as producers. The two headed up Neal McCoy’s latest album, XII, which came out last month.

Pistol Annies Plan Vinyl Release for Record Store Day!

Miranda Lambert, Ashlee Monroe and Angaleena Presley will celebrate Record Store Day by releasing a vinyl version of their debut Pistol Annies CD. April 21 is the fifth annual day set aside to celebrate independently owned music stores. You can locate participating stores at the Record Store Day website. You can also download a widget here that lets you listen to the Hell on Heels project with the added "fuzz and crackle" feel of a well-worn vinyl record. Fans who share the widget will have a chance to win a copy of the record. Hell on Heels debuted at the top of the country album chart, and yielded a gold single with the title track. The trio contributed a song to the Hunger Games soundtrack, and plan to start work on their second album in the fall.

NFL Takes On Crazy, Rowdy Fans..

Between 30 and 40 fans are kicked out of the average NFL game, for being drunk, fighting, or other types of disorderly conduct. And now, it's going to be tougher for them to get back in. Fans thrown out of a stadium will have to take a four-hour online anger-management course that costs $75. The course includes topics on the risk factors of alcohol abuse, skills for improving judgment, stress management, and, quote, “understanding the effect one has on the fan experience." It was designed by a licensed psychotherapist. -At the end of the course, they'll be given a psychological test before they're allowed to attend another game. And they have to get 70% of the questions right to pass. If they DON'T take the class and go to the stadium anyway, they can be arrested by security guards for trespassing. The Patriots, Jets, and Giants have had the policy since 2010, but the entire league will use it for the first time this season.
