Miranda Lambert Dishes On How Blake Shelton Proposed
Miranda Lambert joined fellow blond Chelsea Handler on ‘Chelsea Lately’ last night (Nov. 17).

With his charming personality and his terrific sense of humor, Bryan was perfect for the gig. Bryan and Ellen DeGeneres (via satellite) had fun with their interviews.

Luke Bryan Faces Heartbreak in New ‘I Don’t Want This Night to End’ Video
Luke Bryan‘s new video for ‘I Don’t Want This Night to End’ is more like a mini movie than just another music video. The music even stops mid-video in favor of some dialogue, and the action ends with a “to be continued” cliffhanger.
