  1. LBT Hosts CMA Music Festival

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">The four members of Little Big Town will collectively host ABC's 'CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock' broadcast when it airs later this summer. The group made the announcement via YouTube Thursday morning. They will take over after Luke Bryan and the Band Perry's Kimberly Perry co-hosted in 2012. Little Big Town has been a mainstay at the CMA Music Festival since 1999. It was called Fan Fair back then, and Kimberly Schlapman remembers playing one month after signing a record deal. They knew two songs and had one guitar. Each year they've come back, and so have their most loyal fans. Seeing old friends is part of what makes the annual celebration so special, they said. "It feels like the biggest gathering of country music fans in the world, and it is," Jimi Westbrook said. "People plan their vacations around that time, and it is all about one thing, the love of country music." According to the Country Music Association, an average of 71,000 people attended the festival each day in 2012. Filming for the broadcast will take place from June 6-9 at Nashville's LP Field. Confirmed performers include Carrie Underwood, Zac Brown Band, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert and many other big name country stars. The broadcast will air on Aug. 12 at 8PM ET on ABC, approximately one month earlier than last year's televised replay of the festival's highlights.</span>

  5. S.C. Parade Has Mobile Outhouse and Cross-Dressers

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">Floats at a lighthearted South Carolina Christmas parade included a jail cell float, two Grinches, a mobile outhouse and a cross-dresser named Fatback Queen. The 19th annual Boykin Parade, in the unincorporated Boykin community in rural Kershaw County, drew a crowd of thousands to view the animals, tractors, marching bands and unusual floats. &ldquo;The only thing organized about this parade is disorganization,&rdquo; joked Rowland Alston, a dignitary on the reviewing stand in downtown Boykin. The parade included a contingent of blue-clad Civil War re-enactors, a 55-piece marching band from Thomas Sumter Academy, a dog-themed float with the slogan &ldquo;Bark the Herald Angels Sing&rdquo; and representatives of local law enforcement agencies.</span>

You see the pros like Carrie and Brad on the CMA Awards, and it&rsquo;s like well, &lsquo;You have some big shoes to fill.&rsquo; I actually practiced for my interviews because I had never done an interview before. You guys have a really tough job! Reid, Neil and I, they played Brad 1 and Brad 2 in the bus before I went out and did that and kind of threw me some curve balls. That&rsquo;s what I did to prepare.&rdquo;The show will feature live performances from the 2012 CMA Music Festival, by Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Martina McBride, Miranda Lambert, Eric Church, Lady Antebellum and more. The special airs tonight on ABC at 8PM Eastern.</span>
