Monday April 9th, 2012 – Ashton Needs No Apologies, Jake On His Knees, & Would You Wear These?
Tuesday, April 10th, 2012
The ACM’s are over a week old, and folks are still talking about them maybe not for the reasons why they should however.
I personally did not see any problem with Ashton Kutcher’s appearance during the Vegas show. I thought for sure folks would be freaking out at KISS being there before coming down on Ashton’s fashion choice, and attempt at country humor.
Ashton presented the female vocalist of the year award dressed in some pretty cool country duds that would make Big Country envious and even sang a bit of George Strait’s hit “I Cross My Heart” with his similarly attired, onstage buddies, one of whom was swigging a big mug of beer.
Fun times and cold beer! Isn’t that what Country Music is all about?
Yet some of the stars we love reacted as if Kutcher was making fun of, not honoring, country music with his antics.
“Was Ashton Kutcher making fun of country or is it just me?” tweeted Miranda Lambert, to whom Kutcher presented the female vocalist of the year award.
Miranda’s husband Blake Shelton told Access Hollywood that he was “too busy to give a crap what Ashton Kutcher does.”
Justin Moore went so far as to call the “Two and a Half Men” star “a douche.”
“I don’t care for people making a mockery of the way country artists’ dress,” he added.
That tweet was re-tweeted by others including Jake Owen.
Ashton took to twitter tweeting “I Am One Of The biggest country Music fans you’ve ever met. Wasn’t making fun at all.”
Look, Country Music is the one genre where everyone is welcome. Rap stars sing with us, hard core rockers rock with us, and when opera needs a little twang, you know we’ll be there!
Just because you don’t wear a hat, doesn’t mean you’re not a fan!
Ashton is OK in my book! How about yours?

How can you not feel happy for Jake Owen!
The guy with the best teeth in Country Music (check ‘em out for yourself!), scored another #1 with ‘Alone With You’, and then shocked the crowd in his hometown of Vero Beach, Floriad when he did this;

The girl’s name is Lacey Buchanan and they met on the set of his ‘Eight Second Ride’ video & she’s also the girl in his video for ‘Barefoot Blue Jean Night.’
According to reports the proposal was completely spontaneous. He didn’t even have a ring. As he told the audience, he’d always wanted to get engaged in front of friends and family, and felt the time just seemed right.
Isn’t there a law against proposing without a ring? Nonetheless, she said ‘Yes’ and he owes her some jewelry!

If I didn’t see you at Easter, I give you this seasonal blast of Springtime colour…..
These two are none other than Toronto Blue Jays’ Brett Lawrie and JP Arencibia in their Dumb and Dumber Tuxedos!
Gawd, they look awful! Lol!
