Justin Moore Is Backing Donald Trump . . . Because He’s “Whacky Enough” to Win
JUSTIN MOORE is on the DONALD TRUMP bandwagon. His main motivation is that he wants the country to lean more to the right. He tells CMT, quote, “I’m a Republican and pretty conservative.
“I said a couple of years ago that for the Republican Party to get in the White House it was going to take something completely out of the box in order to make that happen. I think Trump is doing that.”
And even though he doesn’t agree with everything Trump says, he believes in the whole “winning” idea. Quote, “I like the fact that he evokes a sense of winning, you know? I like his bravado.
“I know it’s offensive to some people, and I’m not going to say I agree with everything he says . . . clearly. I think he’s just whacky enough to actually go do it. He doesn’t like to lose. I think he’ll win for our country if he were to get in there.”
Does Blake Shelton Call Miranda Lambert the “B-Word” In His Next Single?
BLAKE SHELTON told “ET” that his new music is going to be, quote, “about things going on in my life.” One of those “things” is his divorce from MIRANDA LAMBERT. And if what we’re hearing is true, it’s about to get nasty.
A source told NashvilleGab.com that the next single is definitely about Miranda, and it’s pretty rough.
Here’s a phrase that’s supposedly from the song: “You put the B next to itch, you put the hang in hangover, you put the low in blow, and you put the F-U in my future.”
I have a hard time believing he’s going to be that brutal, but divorces tend to bring out bitter feelings. Plus, he’s never been one to shy away from controversy. Whatever the case, we may be finding out soon.
He also told “ET” the new single could be out any minute now. Quote, “I’m supposed to say I don’t know the exact date. [But] when it comes out, you’re going to be like, ‘I can’t believe he didn’t tell me it was going to be that soon.'”
Reba McEntire Says Last Year’s Divorce Was “Not” Her Idea
A lot of people were surprised when REBA MCENTIRE and Narvel Blackstock split up. They were married for 26 years and were one of Nashville’s power couples. As usual, they asked for privacy and didn’t give any details.
Well, Reba finally opened about it. And it sounds like she was surprised too. She told CMT, quote, “The divorce was not my idea. I didn’t want it in any shape, form, or fashion. It was hard to make the adjustment when someone’s not happy.
“I just want everybody to be happy in their lives because our lives are too short to be miserable. I just thought it was the best thing to take my marbles and go play somewhere else, is what Daddy used to always say.”
She got through the tough times with the help of her friends, family, and faith. Quote, “You’ve got to have a great team of people around you that you love and they love you, and I’m very blessed to have those people and I thank God for it all.”
