Country Stars salute to Memorial Day continue with Lady Antebellum Star Charles Kelley shares A humbling moment he had With a member of the military “One of the servicemen that was performing with us gave me a bracelet apparently, I guess when one of their brothers falls, a fallen soldier, you know, they give him a bracelet in his honor. It has their name and all those things, and their numbers and stuff – but he gave it to me and said, ‘Man, if he knew that you were wearing it and being up on stage and doing this …’ I was like, ‘I can’t take this. This is like your friend that died in battle. I can’t do that.’ He’s like, ‘Just trust me, this would mean so much to him.'”
Eric Church shares how his #1 Song ‘Hell Of A View’ Was Written … “We were in the mountains of North Carolina and we would write a song the same day. I came back one day from a jog, Casey Beathard, the co-writer on this song, was working on something. And I remember walking in, and I remember he had reading glasses on and he pulled ‘em down and he looked at me and he goes, ‘This is good. Listen to this.’ And he started, (I was no Daddy’s dream’ you know, the whole deal. He got to the Bronco, smoke my Bronco tires line, and I go, ‘This is really good.’ So, we wrote that song that day and the next day.”

Mike Tyson says he’s open to a rematch with Jake Paul after Jake’s recent loss to Anthony Joshua. Tyson claims this time he’s cracked the code on training, saying he went too hard before and “left most of the fight in the gym.” RadarOnline says Mike thinks a smarter camp would change everything. Which is wild, because the man is still Mike Tyson. If this happens, somebody hide the ear protection… literally.

A source says this has been years in the making hosting events, shaking hands, embedding himself deep in the British film world.
