Chris Young is Still Denying He Had an Affair with Miranda Lambert
I’m starting to think people will never stop believing CHRIS YOUNG had something to do with MIRANDA LAMBERT and BLAKE SHELTON splitting up, because the questions just keep coming.
He went on the defensive again on “Entertainment Tonight”, saying, quote, “Man, it sucks that I got put in this situation with two people who are my friends. It’s just so weird getting pulled into something like that where it just wasn’t true.”
The rumors about him and Miranda started three years ago, but guess who had his back when they picked up steam last month? Chris says, quote, “I was in touch with Blake all day that day. He was like, ‘Dude, sorry.’ I was like, ‘I know, man.'”
Despite all this, he’s still on good terms with both of them. Quote, “I’ve not seen them, [but] I’ve definitely texted and called both of them. They’re both good since [the last] time I’ve heard from them. As good as you can be.”
Maddie & Tae Used to Be Called Sweet Aliana
MADDIE & TAE did a lot of experimenting before deciding on their band name. And they got dangerously close to choosing a few awful ones. They even looked at paint swatches hoping to come up with something they’d like.
TAE DYE says quote, “That’s how desperate we were to find a cool name. [Stuff] like Pearl Iris or Ivory Moon.”
At one point they picked Sweet Aliana, a name that MADDIE MARLOW admits was terrible. She says, quote, “That was the worst name ever. [It] was the most childish band name, and our music wasn’t childish.”
Fortunately, they made the change at just the right time. She adds, quote, “Right before we got our record deal, we were like, ‘You know what? I think we should just go by our names. Because our music is very honest and transparent.’
“It was hard for us to go by something other than our names. Maddie & Tae just fit us so well.”
Frankie Ballard Feels More Confident When He’s Dressed Up
FRANKIE BALLARD is not afraid to admit he likes dressing up. It’s something he discovered about himself a long time ago. Quote, “I didn’t feel confident or comfortable unless I was dressed up. And I don’t mean a suit, just dressed as best as I could feel.
“I’ve caught some flak for it, especially in school. But I always stayed with it. After a while people just understand that’s the way you do things. It’s about me making sure I walk out the door and feel confident so I can be my best.”

Kelly Clarkson Lets Big News Slip Last Night
Kelly let it slip during her concert last night that she is expecting baby number two! She got emotional while singing her song ‘Piece By Piece’, a song about her relationship with her dad.
“I was totally not planning on announcing this, but … I’m totally pregnant,” Clarkson told the crowd at Los Angeles’ Staples Center, according to People. ”I’m having a really hard time.
“… That was not how I wanted to announce that … I hate this song right now,” the singer continued. “My makeup artist is backstage hating me right now. I just don’t want you to think I’m on pills or drunk.”
And if any fans didn’t believe her the first time, after Clarkson finished the song, she explained that the moment really was unplanned — she and husband Brandon Blackstock haven’t even told their extended family yet!
“I’d like to apologize to my husband. That was not planned. I just didn’t want you to think I was crazy or something,” Clarkson added. “Honestly, I’m just so hormonal today … I haven’t vomited yet. That is a freakin’ win, y’all.”
