Kicking off with a 15-minute special CMT PREMIERES: REBA – “SOMEBODY’S CHELSEA,” fans can see behind-the-scenes footage from the video shoot, which was filmed in Los Angeles and directed by Trey Fanjoy. Reba helped create the video concept with Fanjoy, which showcases a storybook love affair told through a chance encounter on an airplane. Co-written by Reba, Liz Hengber and Will Robinson, the inspiration for the song came from a line of dialogue in the film P. S. I Love You, in which Harry Connick Jr’s character tells Hilary Swank, “I’m going to go find somebody because one of these days, I want to be somebody’s Frank.” “I gasped and I got on the computer and emailed Liz saying, ‘This is a great idea for a song!’” said Reba. “So she got Will to help us with it and we wrote ‘Somebody’s Chelsea.’” “SOMEBODY’S CHELSEA” will be retelecast on Monday, September 26 at 10:45 a.m. ET/PT and on Tuesday, September 27 at 9:00 a.m. ET/PT.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM MEGAN LINSEY OF STEEL MAGNOLIA Steel Magnolia’s Meghan Linsey has posted the following message on the duo’s website: “Dear Fans, We are really sad we had to cancel several shows this week. We were very much looking forward to seeing each and every one of you in Richmond, IN, Abingdon, VA, and Clarence, NY, but at this time, Josh is unable to perform. We really appreciate your thoughts and prayers. I am going to make every effort to hold up our show commitments starting Sunday night in Durham, CT. For those of you coming to the show, I can‟t wait to see you. Thank you for all the love and support. Love, Meg” MARTINA McBRIDE RECORDS ALBUM IN ATLANTA Martina McBride and her husband John own their own state-of-the-art recording studio in Nashville where she has recorded a lot of her albums, but after she signed her new record deal and it was time to start recording, her record label CEO, Scott Borchetta, suggested she get out of her comfort zone and get out of town to record her new album. Martina was intrigued by the idea because she says, “I wear a lot of hats when I’m here. To my children, my husband, my record company. There‟s always sort of I’m getting pulled in all different directions and the music really kinda comes second honestly. I sort of have about three or four hours a day to really focus.” So after getting her daughter’s blessing to leave town and head to Atlanta to record, Martina said it changed everything. “It just gave me this freedom to go and I got up every day and all I could think about, all I had to think about was “What do I want to do today, musically? What do I want to create? What picture do I want to paint today?‟ It was awesome.” Martina’s new CD, Eleven, will be in stores on October 11th. . THE BAND PERRY AGAINST THE WORLD Being three siblings on the road together it’s only natural that The Band Perry will have occasional spats or arguments, but it‟s a lesson their parents taught them when they were very young that keeps them tight-knit. Kimberly says, “I remember when we were kids and this has come in really handy since we travel together as adults; they would always carry us to the window if we had gotten in a sibling spat … and he said, “You see that out there? That’s a big world. It’s a tough world. You’re gonna have to fight through every day. We’re not gonna fight here in this house.‟ And so our parents always taught us to be really gracious to one another and we try to follow that as well as we can.” They admit they’re not perfect. Kimberly confesses, “ after fourteen days on the road. It's funny how we can revert back to petty sibling arguments.” With 75 dates on the books for their Purveyors of Performance Tour, which will last well into next year, they‟ll have plenty of time to test their family bonds out on the road. ELI YOUNG BAND DON’T MIND PAYING THEIR DUES The Eli Young Band has spent years paying their dues and building their careers, so you might think they would resent the “instant stardom” that comes from shows like American Idol, but they don't. Mike Eli acknowledges it’s just a different path to take. “Our outlook on it is that we've kind of paved our road in a way that we're building a foundation that we'll be able to always turn back to. You know you build something quality it's gonna be there for a long time and hopefully we'll be making music for a really long time. I think that in the age of the instant star they still have to pay their dues. They just have to do it in a different way and they have to do it in front of people. A lot of people. Whereas,” he laughs, “we got to pay our dues in front of no one. Many times”. Fortunately all of that hard work is paying off for them. They’re song “Crazy Girl” is a top ten hit and October OAK RIDGE BOYS HEAD TO BIG APPLE The Oak Ridge Boys are gearing up for the second week of an intense media campaign in support of the group’s new CD, It’s Only Natural and the 30th anniversary of the hit song, “Elvira.” A national press tour will take place in New York City, starting on Sunday with an appearance on FOX News Channel’s late-night show, Geraldo At Large. On Monday, fans can start their day with the Oaks on FOX & friends, the number one cable morning show in America. There will be a live performance of “Elvira,” beginning around 8:50 a.m. (ET). The group will also take to the airwaves with a live segment on the FOX Business Network around 11:45 a.m. (ET). Later in the day, they’ll take things high-tech on the FOXNEWS.com LIVE Entertainment hour, which airs from 2:00-3:00 p.m. (ET). Then, step into the spotlight on Tuesday for a Better TV taping which will broadcast nationally on October 4, 2011.
