Blake Shelton to Co-Host ACM's With Reba
After two years as a solo act, Reba has invited Blake Shelton to form a duo to co-host the upcoming 46th Annual Academy Of Country Music Awards. "This is an incredibly special moment for me," Shelton says. "I am humbled that Reba invited me to co-host with her. She is not only a mentor to me, but a true friend." Although Shelton promises a lot of onstage shenanigans, the pair's first hosting gig does not make them eligible for the Top Vocal Duo category. "[But] with the two of us together on live TV, you never know what we might say!" Voting for the 2011 ACM Top New Artists kicks off Jan. 27 at noon ET and the ACMs air live April 3 at 8pm ET on CBS-TV.
