A lot of people were calling foul when JASON ALDEAN got ZERO CMA nominations last week. Jason stayed quiet for a few days, but he finally spoke up in an interview with “Rolling Stone”.
He said, quote, “Obviously, it’s disappointing. We’re selling out shows. With maybe the exception of LUKE [BRYAN], I don’t think there’s anybody else out there doing the kind of touring numbers that we’re doing. It’s frustrating, man.”
Jason’s tour HAS been doing extremely well. He’s been selling out concerts all summer, and that includes his FIVE stadium shows. That’s the kind of stuff that leads to an Entertainer of the Year nomination . . . and I’m thinking he expected one.
Still, Jason’s doing his best to stay cool. He adds, quote, “I’m not going to pitch a fit but it does suck when awards season comes and you feel like you’re up there, as far as artists go, at the cream of the crop. And to get overlooked like that is upsetting.”
BLAKE SHELTON went undercover pretending to be a worker name Stephen in a series of new ads for Pizza Hut. It doesn’t look like he fooled many of them. (Click “Meet Stephen” on the Pizza Hut YouTube channel.)
