Trailer Choir’s Big Vinny Hickerson is headed to NBC’s The Biggest Loser, reports the Tennessean. For the first time in the show’s history, contestants will be sorted by age group. Big Vinny will fall into the under 30 years old while the other two groups will be 30-49 years old and 50 years old and over. The groups will then compete against one another with the help of the show’s trainers to lose weight and get healthy.

Most of the time, it’s about the music. But this is show business, after all — and if you’re a country star, sometimes it’s about how you look while you’re moving people with your songs. If you’ve ever wondered how to get that “smokey eye” worn by many of your favorite stars on the red carpet, Trailer Choir‘s Crystal Hoyt breaks it down in a few simple steps. Before making it in music, Crystal made her living helping people look their best — so she knows what she’s doing.
“Since I was a successful make-up artist before my music career took off,” she says in her blog, Get Crystal-Ized!, “I have always enjoyed sharing and educating others on my tips and techniques for Do-It-Yourself hair & make-up (since- with the exception of a couple of photo shoots and awards shows), I almost always do my own. So, I thought that I would start a blog here to share all my little tips & & tricks along my with failures and successes with everything along the way for anyone who would like to join me for the ride.

Trailer Choir co-hosts Top 20 Country Countdown with Suzanne Alexander at the 2010 Country Thunder festival in Wisconsin. Photo by Eric Jensen.
Wisconsin’s Country Thunder was four days of people, rain and wall-to-wall country music. Mother Nature might not have been kind to the festival’s visitors, but they didn’t seem to mind a little water or mud when it gave them a chance to see Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, Sugarland or Trailer Choir. GAC’s Suzanne Alexander didn’t mind either — she was there, too, chatting with some of those stars for this weekend’s Top 20 Country Countdown (check out our festival photos here).
The rain was certainly a problem for Country Thunder last weekend, though the show, as they say, must go on. Randy Houser, Luke Bryan, Craig Morgan, Gloriana, Kevin Costner, Jason Aldean, Billy Currington, Miranda and Sugarland were all on hand — and all of them spent a little time with Suzanne. As did Trailer Choir, a new trio whose album Tailgate came out earlier this month. The fun-loving band’s Big Vinny even found Suzanne hiding in his bunk! Watch the clip below:

The Grand Ole Opry has plenty of tentacles in the Nashville community, and several of its members — including Craig Morgan, Lorrie Morgan and Charlie Louvin — are part of the headlines in Middle Tennessee.
In Lorrie’s case, it’s for a bit of charity work in a suburb. Craig and Charlie, meanwhile, are facing major milestones in their lives. Here’s the latest Opry-related news:
