Miranda Lambert's "Little Red Wagon" Video is Her Sexiest Ever . . . and the "Star" Claims She's Sleeping with Chris Young
MIRANDA LAMBERT brought the sex into her "Little Red Wagon" video. She starts off by strutting around in Daisy Dukes, and then flirts with the motel clerk, the incredibly sexy maid, and even the shirtless pool boy.
She's also poolside in a red bathing suit, and lounges on the bed in a silk robe. It's all an act though, because at the end she walks away wearing a bedazzled "Mrs. Shelton" belt. (Here's video. Warning: She says the "S-word" at 2:30.)
While we're on the subject: The "Star" is still trying to push the idea that Miranda and BLAKE SHELTON are having marital problems. This time around it's because she's having an alleged affair with CHRIS YOUNG.
They've been close since touring together in 2012, but upped it a notch when they met up at a Nashville bar last month. A source said, quote, "Miranda and Chris were really into each other. They were acting like a couple."
There's also a photo of them together from that night, but it just looks a couple of friends hanging out.
I give this story zero chance of being true.
Brantley Gilbert Doesn't Get Tired of Performing His Songs . . . Because He's Lived Them
Have you ever wondered how an artist can perform their songs night after night, year after year without getting completely sick of them? Well, BRANTLEY GILBERT gives a believable explanation of how he handles it.
It's because his songs are autobiographical, so every time he performs one he's reliving the moment. He says, quote, "Any time you write a song the right way you relive it every time you sing it. I try to make songs as personal as I can.
"A song like 'Bottoms Up', yeah, I'm not drinking anymore, but I'm around that environment almost every night of the week and I enjoy it. All of my songs are like a part of my life. They're a part of me.
"There's good times, hard times, trying times, times when you're in love, times when your heart's broke. When we go out on stage, the show's an emotional rollercoaster and it goes up and down. I go with it.
"I don't have to really try to put on a show, those songs really do move me."
Joe Nichols Wasn't Cool in High School . . . Because He Liked Country

"I kind of stuck out amongst them. I tried hard to be cool around girls . . . and that was kind of funny to watch."
