The Country Loved The Country on the Dancefloor

Happy Half Off Wednesday! Today you can take a family 4-pack of tickets for "Gods of War II" for only $3o. The fights are May 2nd at the Pan Am Center. Hurry, Half Off Wednesday offers are only good while supplies last.

Whatever happened to the little Paisley? It was well over a week ago that Brad Paisley said he was waitin’ on a woman. Kimberly’s due date was the night of the ACM Awards. The poor girl is 10 days overdue! Brad jokes that their 2-year-old son, Huck, doesn’t even believe this big brother business anymore! Word has got to be coming soon. Fastest news is on the CMT News Feed in the sidebar.

Last night on Dancing With The Stars
They made them sweat it out until the end, but as expected, Chulianne is safe. They didn’t formally announce a “bottom two,” so reading between the lines, even though Ty & Chelsie were left standing there at the end, the country folk and the rodeo community are rallying to keep Ty Murray dancing. With the lowest paddle ever in the sixth week, Steve-O & Lacey were given their walking papers. Likely the second lowest was Lawrence & Edyta, but 2nd from the bottom is enough to stay, so they were announced safe early on, just to give the “no particular order” a little variety as to who sweats it out until the end. It’s coming down to the wire for our country folk, though. Ty & Chelsie and Chulianne really need to step it up the next couple of weeks to get out of those mid-level scores. Rascal Flatts performed two songs, “Here Comes Goodbye,” and “Revolution,” the former accompanied by a high-flying number from Julianne Hough and Tony Dovoloni. Tony was throwing her around like a ragdoll! Teach Chuck Wicks to do that, and Chulianne would win the competition for sure! No fresh Video Blogs this week. Next week is the group number and the celebrities get to design their partners costumes. Ty wants Chelsie in denim, and Chuck said "less is more" for Julianne. Maybe Edyta will wear all of Julianne's excess fabric, because Lawrence said that since his mama will be watching, he'd like to see Edyta a bit more covered since she is usally "allergic to clothing."

News From Around The Country
