Happy Birthday Brad Schmitt!
Stupid me. All morning, starting around midnight, I thought some jerk was texting me every 30 minutes until I finally caught what was happening.
I had set my stupid phone calendar to remind me of a very special event occuring all day long, one that would have had me swing by Noshville for a wad of cheescake if I wasn’t such an idiot.
That’s right, it’s Brad “stick-a-cake-in-it-Barbara” Schmitt’s birthday!
Being out of the loop like all interns should be, I’m left to guess how old he is. I’m guessing 38. What do you think?
I snagged this photo of Brad hard at work on something about Jewel I wasn’t invited to. Nothing personal, I’m told.
Up early AND the hardest working man in show business. And to think this was the guy that used to get the crowd out of their seats at Sounds Games. That’s right, I said it!
So, in honor of his birthday, I’m going to show off one of my many talents and type out of a special song:
Happy birthday Brad Schmitt
Happy birthday Brad Schmitt
Happy birthday Brad Schmi – itt
Happy birthday Brad Schmitt!
She’s No. 1 (and No. 2)! Taylor Swift can do no wrong
This only happens about once a decade or so.
But Taylor Swift actually holds down the No. 1 and No. 2 positions on country album sales charts this week.
Taylor’s new CD/DVD Wal-Mart-only combo, Beautiful Eyes, debuted at No. 1 with 44,652 copies sold.
And of course, her debut self-titled CD, released TWO YEARS AGO, finished No. 2 with another 34,622 copies sold.
Amazing.
This woman’s on fire, yo! Next up, Taylor will cure a rare disease and juggle two chains saws and a bowling ball.
Ouch! Wisconsin fans, newspaper not kind to Jessica
Jessica Simpson had her first country gig Saturday, opening for Sara Evans at the Country Thunder Festival in Twin Lakes, Wisc., and it wasn’t exactly smooth, according to the Kenosha News.
There was a mix of boos and cheers when Jessica hit the stage.
The roughest part: The newspaper quoted fans who don’t like Jessica in the country format.
“Just because she’s dating Tony Romo it doesn’t make her country,” Mike Rodriguez, 31, from Lake Geneva, told the paper.”She doesn’t fit in with country, and I’ll have to drink a lot of beer to sit through her concert.”
Zach Schlodt, 19, said: “She’s an embarrassment to country music.”
“I just don’t hear the country in her; I don’t hear the twang. She’s not good enough to be here,” said Adam Matos, 21.
The paper only quoted one person who liked her as a country singer.
As for Jessica herself, she told the crowd:
“I don’t know what your perception is of Jessica Simpson or what tabloid you buy, but I just want you to know that I’m just a girl from Texas; I’m just like you. I’m doing what I love and dating a boy.”
Oh boy. Jessica’s album drops Sept. 9. We shall see….
Toby Keith on gay marriage and polar ice caps
There are some people who believe that gay marriage is melting the polar ice caps, but not Toby Keith.
So, what does Keith think about gay marriage? If you had a longer conversation, it might be more than a sentence. But according to GACTV, Keith argues there are way more important issues.
Note to self: the gears are moving under Keith’s do-rag.
“My right to carry a gun is not political,” he says. “I’m an American, and that is my right as an American, just like it’s my right to vote… Do I care if gay people get married? I could care less. It doesn’t bother me one bit. When you look at Al Gore trying to save the planet, that’s not a political issue.”
Instead, he suggests, it’s a social issue that everyone should be examining.
“If the polar ice cap is melting and we’re doing it, I need to educate myself,” he says, adding, “I don’t see things right-left. I see them right-wrong.”
Seen in the City: Miley Cyrus at Metro Center
So, you know who this is. It’s Miley Cyrus! Here, she signs a guitar at the Metro Center where Brad tells me they are wrapping up filming of Hannah Montana, The Movie. Nice bonnet.
Brad Schmitt knows how jealous I am. Here I sit tip-typing away and adding little notes to evidence of his excellent adventures. I feel like some NASA geek tucked away in a closet while the Astronauts beam down extraordinary photos of Earth and Miley Cyrus sightings.
You know Miley loves her coffee, but check out what she had on the lunch menu yesterday:
Lemon-lime oven roasted chicken
Parmesan mashed potatoes
Smoked fillet mignon with béarnaise
Grilled fresh asparagus with garlic
Steamed broccoli
Baked croissants
Bread-crumb crusted, oven-roasted roma tomatoes
Grilled lobster tails with butter
Tofu couscous Mediterranean stir-fry
Saffron rice & black beans
Oyster on the half shell
Boiled shrimp
Fruit salad
Baby arugula salad with strawberries, feta cheese, cashews, and strawberry vinaigrette dressing
Sundried tomato & basil chicken salad tortilla wraps
Tiramisu
Assorted cheesecakes
Mr. George Putnam attacks entertainment!
Yesterday, local blog J-Wo posted an ominous warning on the state of renewable entertainment sources.
Are we really going into an entertainment crisis? Over the past few year’s scientist’s have been speculating that by the year 2013,our renewable entertainment sources will be wiped out.
I didn’t take the warning seriously until I saw this missive launched on YouTube by Mr. George Putnam, outstanding news reporter.
I wonder which of one of our entertaining on-air programs has upset Mr. Putnam so much? Was it Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives, The Bachelorette or what? These attacks must stop!
I know it wasn’t this blog that lit his fuse. The closest MusicCityTV has gotten to what’s acceptable on-air here is “crap,” “hell,” and “damn.” Mr. Putnam certainly won’t find on this or any other station blog the level of adult content and situations that occur on a daily basis in our daytime and primetime on-air programming. This station’s blogs are practically the Gideons Bible of our media offerings. And people love it.
Peter Frampton alert: entertainment crisis averted
The Hotness’s mood has been quickly upgraded to 3 Britney Spearses … with a grill.
Why? Brad Schmitt called to tell me the reason I couldn’t find him was because he was hanging out with Peter Frampton!
I’ll leave the real reporting of the details to the professionals around here.
In the meantime, here’s a refresher for some of my friends who just texted me asking who the hell Peter Frampton is. Children.
Entertainment crisis
The Hotness’s mood today: two angry Britney Spearses.
The other day, the Hotness accidentally turned on the ”FM” radio in his car reaching for his sunglasses and was smacked in the face with a tsunami of crap.
I forgot which button turned the damn thing off and unfortunately cycled through virtually every radio station in the Nashvillosphere before ending up in a different lane. As fate would have it, a friend texted me saying how much MTV’s TRL sucked. I was on 65 South, so I made the reply short.
“Girlfriend it started sucking in 1998. Where the hell have you been? I’m in the wrong lane listening to Jessica Simpson on a local radio station. Can you believe? She was on The View last week, and it looked like her ear peice kept popping out. That or she was signaling that meat mountain Nick Lachey to rescue her. Anywho, did you find the shoes you were looking for? Oops, here’s my exit. BF4ev - kthnxbye.”
Anywho, today I learn that Sirius Satellite radio is now creating a channel completely dedicated to ABBA. Is Sirius serious? I guess with little reason to compete satellite radio is aiming to autoplay some old queen’s 8 track. Yay for the 50 somethings!
Before you go emailing Brad about what an air head I am for wondering where the beef is on this sandwich just remember, it’s science, b-words! So says the blogs.
Are we really going into an entertainment crisis? Over the past few year’s scientist’s have been speculating that by the year 2013,our renewable entertainment sources will be wiped out.
Try to have a better day than me. Back to the data entry.
What time is it?
It’s Hotness:30 up in heah, b-words! OK, so that’s not me. It’s clearly Britney Spears with a griz-nill, y’all! Annnnnnd, it’s cute. You can’t afford to see the real Hotness.
So, Bradley clearly needs a lot of help. His phone rings off the hizzy, his desk is a bloody mess, and I need the college credits. As an intern, I’m not sure how long I will be able to contribute here. But save the tears for when I really make you cry.
Back to me. They’ll probably keep me until I either fulfill the required work load for a full class credit or they kick me out because something Jessica Simpson or Carrie Underwood did made me spurt Fresca out my nose and onto some very expensive equipment amassed around Brad’s huge, uh, cubicle?
Anywho, if Brad doesn’t get to it first, I’ll sink my grill in it and slather the sloppy seconds into a post du jour. Ha! That was French for “of the day.” I should get some credit for remembering that… especially after the short term memory loss that occurred this weekend.
So please welcome: ME. And don’t make me cry. I’m supposed to make you cry.
Note from Brad: Oh good God. I’m frightened.
Sassy Sara Evans is starting her own Brady Bunch
Sara Evans simply gushed about her fiance, Jay Barker, at Sunday’s CMA Music Fest performance.
Sara said Jay, a former Alabama football star-turned-sports radio host, is a great guy, a great dad, a great fiance, a great Gatsby….
And Sara is going to take her three kids down to Jay’s home of Birmingham, Ala., to go to school, where they’ll live and play with Jay’s four kids.
“We have a 9, two 8s, two 6s, a 5 and a 3,” Sara said, to gasps from reporters. “It’s tons of love and tons of joy.”
And if you’ve seen recent pics of Sara, you know how thin/fabulous she looks.
I asked her how thin she was. Mistake.
“I’m a (size) 4, maybe a 2. I dunno,” she said, smiling at me. “How thin are you?”
