His Achey Heart Didn't Break Before 50

Billy Ray Cyrus turns 50 today with the news that he will soon be a grandfather. Billy's 22-year-old son, Trace, and his girlfriend, Brenda Song, are expecting their first child together. Brenda is an actress. You may have seen her on the Disney Channel’s Suite Life of Zack and Cody or in the moive, The Social Network. Trace is a member of the pop-rock band Metro Station.

Dierks Bentley is taking his Miles & Music charity motorcycle ride to Chicago October 9th. The ride will be followed by a concert featuring Dierks, the Eli Young Band, Jerrod Niemann and more. With these rides, Dierks has helped to raise millions of dollars for Children’s Hospitals across the country. The event is in its sixth year, but this is its first stop in the Windy City. Proceeds from the ride will be donated to Chicago’s Children’s Memorial Hospital.

At her Speak Now tour stop in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, Taylor Swift surprised fans by bringing out teen sensation Justin Bieber to sing his hit, “Baby.” Taylor tweeted after the show, “You think you’ve heard LOUD screaming in your life.. Then [Justin Bieber] comes out and does a surprise song during your show. Woah. Unreal.”

And finally, Brad Paisley has joined the Cell Phones for Soldiers campaign which sends 60-minute calling cards to U.S. troops around the world so that they can call home. When fans donate a used cell phone to the program, a calling card is distributed to a soldier in need. Collection boxes can be found at Brad’s H20 II tour stops or you can visit bradpaisley.com for information on how to mail one in.
