Jennifer Nettles’ Makeup-Free Selfie Inspired Women to Post Theirs

 It’s guaranteed . . . when a famous woman posts a makeup-free selfie, people are compelled to say something.  JENNIFER NETTLES posted one on Tuesday, and just about everyone who saw it felt the need to comment, good or bad.

Some thought it didn’t look like her . . . some gave her props for keeping it real . . . and there were even comments about her looking too skinny.  So she posted another one on Wednesday and wrote, “Another scandalous picture of me without makeup.

“Apparently, some folks who only see me on TV were quite taken aback yesterday.  (And some were downright rude, as only social media can allow.)  You are all beautiful and I’d challenge you all to post your own no makeup pics.  Be comfy in your own skin.  It’s all we got, ladies!”

 

And the response was HUGE.  Plenty of women who posted their own makeup-free selfies, so Jennifer gave them a shout-out on Twitter.  She wrote, “Can’t get to all of you.  But suffice it to say, I am in love with all of your pretty #No Makeup Selfie pics.  #Pretty Pretty.  #Natural Beauty.”

 

 


 

Kellie Pickler’s New Reality Show Will Be Conflict-Free

Justin Moore is 31 . . . and In the Best Shape of His Life

 

JUSTIN MOORE turned 31 earlier this week . . . but his body didn’t get the memo.  He says, quote, “I love the age I am right now.  Hitting my thirties didn’t bother me one bit.  I think one of the reasons is I’m in probably in the best shape of my life.

“I’m a lot healthier than I’ve ever been . . . and I’m happy.  I’m not noticing any wrinkles and I’ve got all my hairs too thankfully so far.”


We’ve seen some of DANIELLE BRADBERY’s left arm tattoo, but could never make out what it said.  Well, on Wednesday she posted an Instagram pic that clearly shows it’s a phrase that reads, “God is greater than the highs and lows.”


 

BILLY CURRINGTON says he’s been waiting some seven years to go on the road with TIM MCGRAW . . . and he finally got his wish.  He and CHASE BRYANT are the openers on Tim’s Shotgun Rider Tour.

There’s nothing like a few shots to get an award-winning country group to spill their secrets. Eli Young Band played ‘Never Have I Ever …’ recently and individually revealed who’s gone streaking, who’s cried during reality television and who has bought something and hid it from his wife.

The “Turn It On” singers joined Taste of Country’s Billy Dukes for the popular drinking game. Guitarist James Young may have ended up admitting to the most — can you believe he’s the one who shaved his chest? He’s so hairy!

Mike Eli admits to a few marital confessions, while the band is all in at shouting “Free Bird!” during someone else’s concert. We promise the guys didn’t drive home after they finished, but they did leave us with a lot of dirty shot glasses and an empty bottle of Blue Chair Bay rum.

Find “Turn It On” on EYB’s new Turn It On EP, available now. This spring and summer they’ll play several shows with Toby Keith, including the Taste of Country Music Festival in Hunter, N.Y. and Country Jam in Colorado. They’re also set for WE Fest in Detroit Lakes, Minn. this August.
