CHESNEY FANS NAME TOUR
Kenny Chesney says he got the inspiration for his new tour name from fans at one of his shows last year.
“A whole section of the parking lot — these people had it all roped off, and they had their own little city, and they called it the ‘Sun City Carnival.’ And the fans don’t even know it that I got it from them, you know, but I thought, ‘You know what? That’d be good for us, you know, that right there,’ so that’s one of the few times that I went out there and got somethin’, you know, from people out there havin’ a great time, and I saw it on a big sign, and I thought, you know, ‘That kind of describes everybody out here,’ and so I think it fit us perfect.”

A pre-release of the wine is being offered exclusively to members of Martina’s fan community who are of legal drinking age, and then the wine will be made available to the general public later this year.

CARRIE UNDERWOOD'S "SHOT GUN DATE"
If Carrie Underwood thought her first date was going to be how dating goes, she might have become a Nun. So, Carrie suiters beware.
 Countryforever.com
Carrie says, “The worst date I ever had was actually probably my first date ever. I was 16, and I was going out on a date with a guy that was a bit older. He might have been like 18. And he came in, and my dad actually had gotten out his shotguns earlier to start cleanin’ ‘em. I don’t know why he decided to clean them right before my first date, but he did. Mom made him put ‘em up, though. But my date gets there, and we go out, and he really just didn’t put that much thought into it. Like, we just went to the mall and were gonna watch a movie. But I was 16 and couldn’t get into any rated-R movies. So we ended up watching this horrible movie. We left like halfway through, and he took me home, and that was that. (laughs) Not a great first dating experience.”
