So you've got an album lover in your family. Well what happens when that album lover in your life dies and you'd like to do one last thing to commemorate their love of music and vinyl? How about having their ashes turned into some tunes? Yep, thanks to a creative, if not a little creepy company, you can take the ashes of your dearly departed and have them turned into albums full of some favorite music. And Vinyl (website here) - wouldn't End Vinyl be a better name choice? Just sayin' - will take your loved one's ashes and turn...

I have a confession to make. I love the ever-clever cartoon penguins from Penguins of Madagascar. Those constantly scheming penguins just make me smile and wish I, too, was a flightless tuxedoed seabird stuck in a zoo. Or something like that. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, it's the Nick cartoon based on the penguins from the movie Madagascar. If you have children, I'm sure you're familiar. Anyway, Nickelodeon-star-turned-country-singer Jennette McCurdy and fellow Nick star Victoria Justice make an appearance on this Saturday's new episode of Penguins of Madagascar as a pair of overly friendly badgers. You...

Gab friend, Elizabeth, was lucky enough to attend the Sugarland concert in Southaven, Mississippi and sent along a great review and pictures. Thank you Elizabeth for sharing your experience. And remember, I will have more Sugarland tickets to secret cities coming up this month! As an avid Sugarland fan, I’ve been to multiple shows. I’ve seen Jennifer & Kristian open and headline shows at charity events, and in arenas and stadiums. The amphitheater show I attended last week as part of the Incredible Machine Tourwas honestly the best Sugarland show I have seen to date! Read the full review and...

Didn't Dolly say not too long ago that she was planning on taking a little bit of time off? Hmmm. Maybe I just imagined that. Well a break is definitely out of the question since it's just been announced that Dolly will be teaming up with Queen Latifah for a new gospel-choir inspired movie called "Joyful Noise." According to Variety, the story will follow Dolly and Latifah as they are forced to work together to save a small town gospel choir after budget cuts threaten to shut the program down. Dolly will play the choir director's widow while Latifah will...

Toby Keith played a super exclusive concert (as in like 250 people in attendance) in New York last week and thanks to the fine folks over at I Heart Radio I was able to pass on three sets of tickets to Gab readers.

Just going through my overloaded email inbox when I came across this wonderful picture that Rachel from Tampa's US 103.5 radio station sent me. Yes, she sent me a butt shot of this country boy. Do my readers know me or what? So, anyone care to take a guess who this fine country ass belongs to? Answer after the jump.... It's Mr. Justin Moore who opened recently for Brad Paisley on his H2O Tour when it hit Tampa. And speaking of Brad, did you know he plays a mean beer-tar? Fun! Thanks again Rachel. Be sure to check out more...
