Taylor takes a shot at Kim & Kanye?!

emichaels@hi99.com (Eric Michaels) — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 19:44:26 GMT

I don't know if this is legit or not, but I know one thing for sure it's funny! Surely you remember a few years ago when Kanye West interrupted Taylor on stage after a VMA win and he recently brought that episode back up saying his apology to the country sweetheart wasn't sincere! Well after the birth of 'Kimye' as the baby is being called on the normal social media outlets, Taylor took to twitter to post this......

Trey Gray.....Musician, Drummer.....HD Patient

emichaels@hi99.com (Eric Michaels) — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 21:43:01 GMT

Typically when you come and check out my blog you read about country music news or something I find online that I find funny. However, over the last month or so I have finally come out of my shell to embrace something I've kept to myself for many years, something I don't typically talk about unless asked. 18 years ago my dad was diagnosed with Huntington's Disease which is a hereditary, degenerative brain disorder that results in a loss of cognitive, behavioral and physical control, and for which, presently; there is no treatment or cure. HD slowly diminishes the affected individual’s ability to walk, think, talk and reason. Symptoms usually appear in an individual between 30 and 50 years of age and progress over a 10 to 25 year period. Eventually, a person with HD becomes totally dependent upon others for his or her care. More than 30,000 people in ...

Simon Cowell.....Egged?

emichaels@hi99.com (Eric Michaels) — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:20:05 GMT

Natalie Holt did something to Simon Cowell on a recent episode of 'Britain's Got Talent' that many people have wanted to do over the years. The man known for being rude, but yet very honest, to the contestants he has judged over the years was egged while a performance was going on. According to EW.com, Holt was playing in the backup orchestra for brothers Adam and Richard Johnson when she got up from her chair onstage. With an egg carton in her left hand, she cut through the young men and began to toss eggs at Cowell and the other judges. Holt, who had a sheepish grin on her face, tossed at least five eggs at Cowell before security stopped her. The brothers kept singing, finishing an operatic version of "The Impossible Dream." At least one toss must have hit its mark, because Cowell removed his jacket after the ...

An event that took me to my emotional limit......

A few weeks back I had the honor to be the emcee for the 2nd annual Tammy Laird Carroll Memorial Walk for Huntington's Disease. If you're friends with me on facebook, you saw a picture I posted with this caption: "Never in my career have I not been able to take a microphone and do my job, however, this event tested me like no event has before. Seeing others fight the fight I've watched my dad fight for the last 18 years was almost too much. I ask you to look into the Huntington's Disease Society of America and help find a cure. " When I was 12 years old (I'll be 30 in June) I found out that my dad was sick, although it was a few years until my parents put a name on it. I haven't done a lot of research on this disease, but I ...

Big changes coming for American Idol? UDPATE: Randy GONE!

emichaels@hi99.com (Eric Michaels) — Thu, 09 May 2013 22:12:46 GMT

Ok, I personally think they should have put this show out of its misery after Simon left. Now it seems a major overhaul from the once ratings winner is going to happen before the next season. Multiple reports have a big shakeup coming to "AMERICAN IDOL" for Season 13. THE WRAP.COM reports judges RANDY JACKSON, MARIAH CAREY, NICKI MINAJ and KEITH URBAN will all be gone for next season. "All four are gone," an insider told THEWRAP. "They feel they've lost their core audience and they want it back." Exec. Producer NIGEL LYTHGOE will also reportedly get the boot. The reported changes also includes getting rid of dated themed-nights in an effort to attract a younger audience. AMERICAN IDOL has struggled in the ratings department, often losing to "The Big Bang Theory" and "Modern Family."

Kiss Cam Break up........Do You Believe It???

emichaels@hi99.com (Eric Michaels) — Thu, 09 May 2013 20:39:43 GMT

Have you ever been featured on the kiss cam at a sporting event? I always thought it could present a very awkward situation if say the person you were with at the game was just a friend or heck, even a family member. I have been lucky enough to be on the kiss cam at a Colts game a few seasons ago and the texts & facebook posts I got from friends were priceless! But, check out this video of the kiss cam at a minor league baseball game for the Fresno Grizzles from two days ago. You be the judge, was this guy legit or was this all staged? Either way it's gone viral on youtube!
