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.

Who's Been Invited to Miranda & Blake's Wedding?

Miranda Lambert says what's on her mind and on her wedding day, she’ll have no problem showing off what God gave her!

“She’s a real woman and I love that about her,” Lady Antebellum’s Hillary Scott said Monday at the American Country Awards, “so it will be something that shows off her curves.”

Scott, along with her two bandmates, has been invited to attend the nuptials and has already begun planning her wedding gift for the pair.

“They’re perfect for each other,” said Scott, who added that she’s thinking about getting them “some kind of pistol,” since “they like to hunt together.”

Scott, however, may be putting more thought into the wedding than Lambert’s fiance, Blake Shelton, who says he’s letting Lambert do all the planning.

“Last I heard the wedding date was in the spring, but that’s a constantly changing event,” he said. “Miranda is going to do this exactly how she wants to do it and I’m staying the hell out of the way.” Blake wisely commented.

Toby Keith Talks iPhone Recording

The iPhone's got Toby Keith 'hooked'. Keith logged more than 60 song ideas, melodies and hooks using one of his iPhone apps. "For years I carried a little voice recorder around to collect my thoughts for songwriting," Keith says. "But they're like sunglasses; you lose them. You always have your phone with you, and it's backed up every time you dock it at home. So if you lose your phone, you're only going to lose whatever you put on there since you docked it. For me, it's the greatest thing that's happened to songwriting since the invention of the pencil... the quality of the ideas were turned up tremendously and it showed through on this album." The result is Keith's 10-track 14th studio album, "Bullets in the Gun" Out TUESDAY!!!
