Reba McEntire is the most recent victim of an Internet death hoax. She writes on her WhoSay account, "There's a rumor going around that I died after falling off a mountain in Austria yesterday while shooting a movie. While I would love to be shooting a movie in Austria, I definitely did not fall off a mountain. Nor am I dead." She was, in fact, watching son Shelby in an auto race.
2012 is going to be a very exciting year for Arista Nashville and one big reason for that is Carrie Underwood and the amazing new music she has for everyone.
She has news about her brand new single, and she and all of us at Arista Nashville wanted to share it with Country radio first.

With Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw touring together this summer, it would seem natural that the two friends would record a duet. Kenny tells Country Weekly that it's not definite, but certainly possible. "We haven't found the song yet. We might do a bluegrass thing."
Kenny and Tim's Brothers of the Sun tour starts in Tampa, Florida on June 2nd.
Garth Brooks is bracing himself for battle in his lawsuit against the Oklahoma hospital that he says promised to name a building after his mother in exchange for $500,000 donation. He tells Oklahoma City's News 9, "Don't forget what this is all about. It's about my mom. It's about her honor." Colleen Brooks died of cancer in 1999. Garth claims he's seen mock-ups of the building with his mother name on it, but the hospital says the donation was made anonymously with no strings attached. Garth plans to testify in the case.
Alan Jackson has shaved off his famous mustache for his new video "So You Don't Have To Love Me Anymore" See the picture below and click here to watch the new video!
Jake Owen broke his collarbone Friday snowboarding in Crested Butte, Colorado. He Tweeted a photo along with the message, "Guess I charged this mountain a little too hard. Friday the 13th showed its face today." Later in the day he posted a second photo, from a previous injury, along with the message, "Last time I broke my collarbone. That's me and my brother. I fell off my four-wheeler."
Jake, who did his own stunts in the video for "Barefoot Blue Jean Night," was in town to play for a charity event and a little wintertime fun.
Carrie Underwood surprised Brad Paisley on the opening night of his tour last Thursday to sing their duet, "Remind Me." Well, sort of. Brad's duet partner was indeed Carrie, but by way of a hologram.
Here's a rundown of some things you should know about this "unlucky" day:
13 is considered unlucky because 12 is the number that symbolizes completeness. There are 12 months in a year ... 12 hours on a clock. 13 is just past that, which disturbs some people.
Four of the 12 Friday the 13th movies were released on a Friday the 13th.
Some 17 to 21 million people are afraid of Friday the 13th. (The condition is called friggatriskaidekaphobia.)
Approximately $800 to $900 million is said to be lost each Friday the 13th, because of people who fear to transact business, or even get out of bed.
Friday the 13th can occur no less than once a year, and no more than three times a year. Before 2012, the last triple-header years were 1984 and 1998.
On average, there is a Friday the 13th once every 212 days. (NorthJersey.com)

If you have been exclusively dating the same guy for a while, it's only natural for your mind to start conjuring images of your dream wedding, and what your future children will look like.
Hopefully, you are both on the same page, but if he isn't ever going to pop the question -- and that's a deal breaker for you -- it's important to find out before too much time passes.
Here are 5 surefire signs that he isn't the marrying kind:
He Comes Right Out And Says So:This is an important conversation that needs to be had in any long-term relationship. If he says he never wants to get married you need to take him at his word and not hope that he secretly changes his mind one day. It's not fair for either of you.
He Always Chooses To Hang With His Guy Friends Over You: It's perfectly natural to spend time apart with friends, but if you two have plans and he breaks them to watch the game with the guys time and time again with very little notice, it's pretty obvious the relationship isn't that important to him.
He's a Work-A-Holic:If he puts his job before you than his job is most definitely a priority over marriage. So even if this guy would tie the knot -- would you want to play second fiddle to his work?
He's Been Married Before and It Ended Badly: An ugly divorce can turn even the most romantic person away from the idea of marriage.
His Parents Are Divorced: Children learn by example, and if marriage wasn't a priority in his parents' lives than it might not be in his life either.

Looks like Billy Currington had a great holiday break. He posted a couple of photos on Twitter with the message, "Had a great New Years Day showing a boy how to survive the salt life. Headed out to catch dinner. Take it easy."
Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott married Chris Tyrell Saturday during an intimate ceremony just before sunset in upstate New York. The couple made the announcement on a video posted to the group's website on Sunday. Hillary looked stunning in a cream-colored Vera Wang strapless mermaid dress. The groom wore a gray Ermenegildo Zegna suit.
She said yes! Country music singer Lee Brice popped the question to longtime love SarahReevely on January 2 while vacationing in Key West, Florida, his rep tells Us Weekly exclusively. The two are parents to son Takoda, 3.
"She was getting ready for dinner around the corner I kept getting almost caught trying to take the ring in and out of my pocket," Brice, 32, recalls.
"I walked around the corner acted like I was putting on my bracelet saying, 'Hey, I think I may wear my rings tonight,' and asked her if she would wear one. I pulled hers out of my hand, got down on one knee and asked her."
Ohio native Reevely, 29, began dating the "A Woman Like You" singer -- who was recently nominated for three ACM Awards -- when she was just 18 years old. They have known each other for 13 years.
"I finally get to marry that beautiful girl I met on Myrtle Beach years ago," Brice tells Us. "I can't wait to get Sarah and Takoda to Nashville so we can all be together."
