The much-talked-about movie The Blind Side, in which Tim McGraw plays the husband of Sandra Bullock, finally hits theaters on Friday. Tim was at first reticent to get involved in a film that would have him play the father of a high school football player. That is, he reasoned, the same kind of role he had in the picture Friday Night Lights.

But when Tim read the script and realized how powerful the movie could become, he changed his mind. It certainly helped that he felt a kinship to his character, whose wife has the same kind of strength that Tim’s wife, Faith Hill, exerts in his real-life family.

When the GACTV.com staff heard that the popular men’s magazine Maxim decided to put out a list of the “Hottest Women of Country Music,”  I reluctantly stepped forward to do some research.  It’s a tough job but somebody has to do it.  So off I went to Maxim.com to review the list, presented in the form of a photo gallery.   The list was comprised of a total of 19 women. The gallery appears to be in random order and not in any formal order or rank of  “hotness.”  No surprises for me, but I can tell you I think they left more than a couple of deserving ladies off the list… Continue Reading

There are five Southern voices in the home of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and it looks like that’s the limit. Tim, who occupies the cover of the newest edition of People magazine, originally had more kids in mind, but with three girls already in the family, there’s not much thought of expansion.

“We talked about it once,” he says in the story. “We even have names for boys. I would love to have a boy also, but if we start again now, we’re going to be old when they’re gone. We started out wanting five [kids], and life just…got busy.”

After Tim McGraw earned his first hit 15 years ago with the novelty “Indian Outlaw,” he took a 180-degree turn with his next single by releasing the almost-morbid ballad “Don’t Take The Girl.”

That approach has since become a minor signature in his career: Tim followed the pleading ballad “Please Remember Me” with the playful “Something Like That”; balanced the heavy message of “Live Like You Were Dying” with the goofy wordplay of the next single, “Back When”; and contrasted last December’s alcohol-fueled “Nothin’ To Die For” with the flip follow-up “It’s A Business Doing Pleasure With You.”

Keith Urban on stage at his "All For The Hall" benefit concert at the Sommet Center in Nashville, TN on October 13, 2009

Isn’t the internet great!  Tonight I was faced with a dilemma.  Three school age children with soccer practice and mountains of homework OR Keith Urban doing a one-of-a-kind concert in downtown Nashville with special guests Vince Gill, Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley, Little Big Town, Lady Antebellum, Jason Aldean, Faith Hill, and Taylor Swift.  A concert Keith set up to benefit the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

If football is on at the Tim McGraw/Faith Hill household, don’t even think about changing the channel. Tim is a lifelong football fan. He performed on Sep. 10 during the NFL’s Kickoff Party before the first regular season game at Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field, when the Tennessee Titans played the hometown Steelers. Faith’s NFL ties are strong too – she sings the opening theme for NBC’s Sunday Night Football, ”Waiting All Day For Sunday Night.”

When Tim recently visited the GAC studio, he answered a few questions from fans. Julie from Idaho wanted to know what advice Tim would give to football-hating wives married to football-loving husbands.

“Learn to love it — at my house, it’s the only choice you’d have!” he said, laughing.  “I’m a football fanatic – but my wife is also, so that’s great. Continue Reading

It’s doubtful that too many music fans would confuse Keith Urban with Liza Minnelli, but his background certainly intersects with the setting of one of her biggest roles.

During his teen years, Keith worked as the music director for a cabaret in Australia. Broadway songs are quite different than country music, and yet, the job eventually paid off after he became a star.

“The whole thing was pretty odd,” he told Newsday. “I mean, I was 16, with hair down past my shoulders, and I had to perform in a tuxedo. Continue Reading

The Tulsa World Scene reports Vince Gill will receive the 2009 Spirit of Will Rogers Award on Nov. 8 at Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa. Vince joins past winners Toby Keith, Garth Brooks and Jane Goodall, among others. Tickets are pricey, starting at $125, and table prices range from $1,700 to $10,000 — but proceeds, in part, will benefit American Blue Star Mothers, Oklahoma Chapter 1, which sends “Freedom Boxes,” or care packages, to troops serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and on any hostile foreign soil.
