Have times gotten so tough for Darryl Worley that he’s resorted to stealing cupcakes? Well, not exactly.
Darryl was one of the many suspects interrogated as part of a CSI-like program at his daughter’s Friendship Christian School in Lebanon, Tenn., (about 30 miles east of Nashville). Fifth and sixth graders at the school were tasked with solving the mystery of the stolen cupcakes by studying evidence and questioning suspects.
After all was said and done, the “Have You Forgotten?” singer was arrested with the help of the Lebanon PD.
And Darryl would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for those meddling kids.
Take a look at the video recap by Nashville’s WTVF News Channel 5.
Brantley Gilbert and his wife, Amber, are expecting their first child in November.
“We’ve had such a hard time keeping a secret,” said Brantley in a press release. “But the doctors wanted us to wait past the first trimester. So here we are.”
Brantley and Amber, who have known each other since childhood, were married in June 2015. Amber was Brantley’s inspiration behind songs “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do” and “More Than Miles.”
Brantley will be kicking off the summer leg of his The Devil Don’t Sleep Tour in Tampa on June 2, before hitting dates in Charlotte, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, St. Louis and more.
As Lady Antebellum gears up for the June 9 release of their upcoming sixth studio album, Heart Break, the trio is busy breaking a sweat—this time in a new video for the album’s lead single, “You Look Good.”
Directed by Shane Drake and Roger Pistole, the new video features Lady A turning up the heat in a Puerto Rican club as patrons get their grooves on.
“You Look Good,” which was written by busbee, Ryan Hurd and Hillary Lindsey, is currently No. 15 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart after 17 weeks.
“I’ve had more artists and just friends and fans, all these people who haven’t texted me about a song in a long time, saying, ‘Oh my gosh, I just heard “You Look Good,” that just blew me away,’” said Lady A’s Charles Kelley to Nash Country Daily. “It’s just a great feeling, it’s gratifying. You want your peers to dig what you’re doing. I don’t know, I haven’t felt that in a long time.”
Speaking of breaking a sweat, Lady A will kick off their new 65-plus-date You Look Good World Tour on May 26 in Bakersfield, Calif., with stops in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Nashville, among others. The tour will also hit Europe and South Africa. Kelsea Ballerini and Brett Young will serve as the tour’s opening acts.

Longtime buddies Lee Brice and Jerrod Niemann will face off during an upcoming episode of ABC’s Celebrity Family Feud.
Lee and Jerrod will be vying for $25,000 for their favorite charities on the popular game show that’s hosted by Steve Harvey. Lee will be playing for Folds of Honor, while Jerrod will be playing for the U.S.O.
“Jerrod and I met when we first came to town in 2001, just kind of playing our own shows in the bars, and we ended up playing some stuff together,” said Lee to Nash Country Daily in 2016. “You just kind of randomly do that in Nashville a good bit—hanging out together, drinking together. We became pretty tight a couple of years into that, getting to know each other, and now it’s 15 years later.”
“[With friends like Lee], there’s so many trials and tribulations that you help each other through,” said Jerrod in 2016. “You share some good times, some bad times, some happy times, some sad times, definitely some fun times.”
A Family Feud match-up sounds like some of the “fun times” Jerrod was referring to.
New episodes of Family Feud begin on June 11 on ABC.
Fresh off the May 12 release of their fifth studio album, Welcome Home, Zac Brown Band stopped by the Today show plaza today (May 16) to perform “My Old Man” as part of the Citi Concert Series.
After Zac briefly chatted with hosts Matt Lauer, Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie about writing all of the album’s songs specifically for the project, Zac mentioned feeling the love from the crowd as something that gives him energy.
“I’m always reminded how blessed we are,” said Zac. “Every time I get to come out onstage, I kinda forget, you know. You’re at home chasing kids around and doing things, and then you come out, and just to have all the love—I feel all the love from all of you. We love to give it back. We try to create that turbine of energy together every time.”
With that, ZBB broke into the album’s lead single, “My Old Man,” which is currently No. 18 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart.
After suffering a stroke on May 4 at her Tennessee home, Loretta Lynn has been moved from the hospital into a rehabilitation facility and is “doing great.”
Loretta is scheduled to release a new album, Wouldn’t It Be Great, on Aug. 18. All of the tunes on the new 10-song offering were penned or co-penned by Loretta. Like the album’s predecessor, the Grammy-nominated Full Circle (March 2016), Wouldn’t It Be Great was mainly recorded at the Cash Cabin Studio in Hendersonville, Tenn., with producers Patsy Lynn Russell and John Carter Cash. The album features new songs “Ruby’s Stool,” “Ain’t No Time to Go” and “I’m Dying for Someone to Live For” alongside newly recorded renditions of past compositions such as “God Makes No Mistakes,” “Coal Miner’s Daughter” and “Don’t Come Home A’ Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind).”
“I think you try to do better with every record you put out,” Loretta said in a press release in April. “It’s just everyday living—and everybody wants to know, ‘Well, what is it about your songs that people like?’ I think you’ve got to tell your stories. I just think it hits everybody, you know, the songs.”
