Justin Moore’s Weirdest Autograph Request . . . Someone’s Baby
This is just plain strange . . . but not surprising because, well, people. JUSTIN MOORE was asked to name the oddest thing someone wanted him to autograph. He said, quote, “A baby. That’s the honest truth.”
It was a woman in a meet-and-greet line, and he really didn’t want to do it. They went back and forth for over 10 minutes, and were holding things up.
Quote, “I said, ‘I’m not signing this baby’ . . . and finally she was not gonna give it up, so I signed a baby and it was pretty odd.”
And then he immediately regretted it: Quote, “I wanted to take a wet wipe and get it off as soon as I did it.”
There’s a Memorial Scholarship In Honor of Craig Morgan’s Son
The funeral service for CRAIG MORGAN’s son Jerry Greer will be tomorrow in Nashville. Jerry died in a tubingaccident on Sunday. There’s also a viewing tonight in Dickson, Tennessee, which is where the family lives.
A memorial scholarship fund has been set up in Jerry’s honor, with proceeds benefitting future athletes at Dickson County High School . . . particular those with dyslexia. Jerry recently graduated from there. Details on how to donate are at Tennessean.com.
MIRANDA LAMBERT posted a photo on Instagram yesterday of an old school 45 sitting on a record player with what is probably her hand placing the needle down. The record is titled “Vice” and the caption reads “July 18.” So, get ready to hear her new song “Vice” on Monday.
KACEY MUSGRAVES has been known to do a cover of WEEZER’s “Island In The Sun” at her shows. Word gets around because they asked her to sing it with them at their concert Wednesday in Nashville.
CHRIS YOUNG is nowhere to be found in the new video to his song “Sober Saturday Night”. In fact, neither isVINCE GILL, who played guitar and did backing vocals on the song. At least the actors are into it. There’s plenty of drinking, arguing, and fighting. Plus a three-legged dog. Seriously.
CAM had a memorable moment at The Grand Ole Opry earlier this week . . . although I doubt she’ll think of it as a career highlight. She posted a photo of herself standing on the stage, and wrote, “Aaaand my high heel got stuck in the historic wood of The Circle last night. Ha! Thanks for giggling with me.”
