Kix Brooks Naked!

Sort of! He shaved his mustache off for the movie "Thriftstore Cowboy." He says he did it 'cuz he wanted us to not see Kix but the character he plays since he "...really wasn't that much like me personally." Kix says, he's "kind of a bad guy." He describes the movie as "kind of like a little darker version of 'Urban Cowboy."

If you think it's going to be strange seeing Kix without his mustache he will agree with you. He says, "it was weird. And it still is weird. I'm looking at myself in the mirror going, 'Who is that guy?'"

Here's a clip of the shaving from youtube. (It sounds like he's on his bus - gotta give him credit for doing it on a moving vehicle if that's true.)

American Country Awards

Did you watch? They were last night on FOX. I confess that I have not yet watched most of the show. I saw up to Easton Corbin winning Best New Artist and that's it so far. Just too busy to sit down and pay attention to the show the way you guys deserve. Sorry about that.

I did love how Trace Adkins - as host - refused to do his monologue! That was very funny, and very Trace. Didn't care for the "meat chaps" bit - Brad Paisley did a much better Lady GaGa joke on the CMA's less than a month ago - including a "meat suit" joke.

Blake's performance of "Kiss My Country Ass" was pretty great too - and I couldn't help but thinking FOX was trying to tell us something with the choice of this song to kick off the show. Perhaps that they were going to be a more rowdy show? Guess I'll find out in the next several weeks as I slowly watch the show. (I still haven't finished watching the CMA Christmas Special - which will be reairing on 12/22 on ABC btw.)

I do have a list of winners for you though.
