Some things you can see and understand like Blake Shelton on stage…Blake Shelton on The Voice…Blake Shelton in a bar…drunk…but can you imagine Blake Shelton in the kitchen?  Well, it happens and he says he likes helping Gwen when she’s cookin  “I feel like I’m a good Sous-chef for her, because I’m like ‘tell me what I can do to help you’ cause she tries to take it all on. So, she’ll say ‘chop that onion’ or bowl this or whatever so I have a blast. I can drink and help her cook.”

83 year-old Maury Povich has hosted the longest-running daytime talk show in broadcast history. It was recently announced that “Maury” will finally end after 31 seasons.  We asked Maury about his favorite moment on the show. “That is when a woman was accusing a guy of being the father of her twins. So, I open up the envelope, and I say ‘you are the father of ONE but not the OTHER’. I look at my staff and they said ‘it’s a million to one shot with fraternal twins if someone is pretty active in a 24 to 48 hour period you can have two fathers.” Maury says the one thing he will miss the most is the “storytelling.”

Tim McGraw revealed the secret to a successful emotional song and how he does it.  In an interview with “Big Machine Label Group”, he said, “For him, it all comes from a piece of his soul.  “Every time I sing a song, I feel like I’m tearing out a piece of my soul, and I want it to feel that way.  I don’t try to over-sing anything . . .”You can tell somebody how you feel, but when you can tell somebody how THEY feel, and they didn’t know they felt that way until they heard it in a song or they felt it, I think that’s when there’s something really special.” Tim also added that he’s been fortunate to have made really great songs in his career that have allowed him to find that “emotional well.”
