So your pooch can do some pretty cool tricks. Well, Steve Martin wants to see them!
There is one catch.
Your doggie video must go along with the fast banjo picking on his song "Wally on the Run." Wally is Steve's dog. The creator of the winning video could get $1000.
"Wally on the Run" is on his Bluegrass album The Crow: New Songs for the Five-String Banjo.

Julianne Hough's new movie
Yes she is in the blasphemous remake of Footloose (I am soooooooooooo not on board with that remake! :(
But she is going to be in the new movie Burlesque with pop singer Christina Aguilera (girl can sing!) and Cher (oh yeah, that girl can sing too!).
The movie focuses on Christina's character who is a small town girl who finds love, family, and success in a Los Angeles cabaret-type club. Cher plays the club owner. Julianne will be a...dancer! She started rehearsals last week. Also showing up in the movie - Stanley Tucci (who I remember as an ER chief before Angela Basset held down the job - he slept with Abby - to her shame!) and YAY!! ::happy dance:: Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars herself!!) and from Twilight, Cam Gigandet.
Look for the film November 2010.
The Footloose (expletive) is suppose to be out in June (and a POX on that film!).

TOBY KEITH - Artist/Songwriter of the DECADE
Congrats to Toby who is ::clears throat:: the Nashville Songwriters Association International 2000 - 2009 Artist Songwriter of the Decade.
Sunday night Toby accepted the honor at the 39th anniversary Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Dinner & Induction Ceremony.
Toby called it "the most presitgious thing that I've ever been given." He said "We've had a big ten years and I've worked my butt off writing songs. I take a lot of pride in knowing that only about four things have ever been released in 16 years that were singles that I didn't write. So, you know, 99% of the stuff I write, and it's just, to have your peers who are the lifeblood of this industry - songwriters - recognize you is unbelievable. It's very humbling, but it's tremendous gratification, too."
Toby's current number one - "American Ride" would be one of the four songs that he didn't write that he has released.
Other honorees last night were Craig Wiseman who won the 2000- 2009 Songwriter of the Decade and Taylor Swift who won the Artist/Songwriter of the Year award (wouldn't be surprised to see her take that Decade award this time ten years from now - OMG - I do NOT want to think about that! heehee). Also Tammy Wynette and songwriters Kye Fleming and Mark D. Sanders were inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Blake & Trace's New Song!
It's great!
It's called "Hillybilly Bone" and you bet WXRO is playing it already.
The only place you can get it is to head over to Blake Shelton's website.
It's there free for two weeks!
Blake said, "When I first heard 'Hillbilly Bone' I knew it was one of those songs that would kick the door down, and who better to kick the door down with me than my buddy Trace?"
He called it "One of those songs you can't get out of your head, and for Trace and I both, it was one of those songs that made sense since we are pretty much both 'Hillbilly' to the core."
This will be the first single from his next CD which is the follow up to 2008's "Startin' Fires."
And to that I say WHAT??? Come on Blake - we haven't had much music from your last two CD's! Sheesh! (I really wish artists would go deeper on their CD's!)
