No Comments on Jason Aldean's new side job? Brittany's makeup artist

Who’d have thought Jason Aldean would nail it as a makeup artist? Well, he sort of did.

Jason’s wife, Brittany, recently shared a video of him doing her makeup, albeit discreetly. Throughout the clip, Jason hides behind Brittany with only his hands visible on camera.

The comical moment starts with Jason tying Brittany’s hair, and brushing her face with powder and blush. The “She’s Country” hitmaker then proceeds to apply “long, slow strokes” of eyeshadow on Brittany’s eyes as she laughs, before putting lipstick on her lips and, unfortunately, all over her face.

Could Jason take on a new job as a makeup artist? Watch Brittany’s Instagram video and decide.

Hunter Biden to plead guilty to federal tax charges following investigation

No Comments on Hunter Biden to plead guilty to federal tax charges following investigation

According to a Justice Department filing, Hunter Biden, President Biden’s son, has reached a tentative deal with the U.S. attorney in Delaware, agreeing to enter guilty pleas to two misdemeanor tax charges and admitting to felony gun possession. A federal judge in Delaware must approve the deal, and Biden will now face arraignment in U.S. District Court in Wilmington. He is expected to give himself up to Delaware authorities and will be processed by U.S. Marshals. It’s the first time the Justice Department has brought charges against a child of a sitting president.

Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss’ office said Biden faced misdemeanor charges for failing to pay federal income taxes in 2017 and 2018 despite owing more than $100,000 in taxes in each year. It also said Hunter Biden possessed a firearm in October 2018 despite “knowing he was an unlawful user of and addicted to a controlled substance,” a charge for which he has agreed to enter a pretrial diversion agreement to avoid prosecution.

Chris Clark, an attorney for Hunter Biden, said that his “expectation, at least with regard to after that proceeding, is that he [Biden] will be released without conditions … it is my understanding that the five-year investigation into Hunter is resolved.” Clark added: “Hunter will take responsibility for two instances of misdemeanor failure to file tax payments when due pursuant to a plea agreement. A firearm charge, which will be subject to a pretrial diversion agreement and will not be the subject of the plea agreement, will also be filed by the Government. I know Hunter believes it is important to take responsibility for these mistakes he made during a period of turmoil and addiction in his life. He looks forward to continuing his recovery and moving forward.”

A statement from a White House spokesman said, “The President and First Lady love their son and support him as he continues to rebuild his life. We will have no further comment.” Later at an event in California on Tuesday afternoon, President Biden responded to questions about Hunter Biden by saying, “I am very proud of my son.”

No Comments on 4 dead, 2 critically injured after lithium-ion battery causes fire in NYC e-bike shop

Authorities say that four people were killed and two others remain in critical condition after a fire caused by a lithium-ion battery broke out in an e-bike repair shop and tore through a New York City building overnight. The New York City Fire Department responded to the fire at 80 Madison Street at around 12:15 a.m. local time. The FDNY said in a statement on Twitter that the fire was caused by a lithium-ion battery on the first floor of the store.

New York City Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh said that firefighters pulled six residents from the building in critical condition, though four have since died. One firefighter also suffered minor injuries. Kavanagh said at a press briefing Tuesday: “It is very clear that this was caused by lithium-ion batteries and e-bikes,” and added that the fire department has written violations at the location — HQ E-Bike Repair — before: “we have conducted enforcement in this location before. This exact scenario where there’s an e-bike store on the first floor and residences above and the volume of fire created by these lithium-ion batteries is incredibly deadly.”

Brothers Osborne on the message of “Nobody's Nobody”: “It's very fitting for our times now”

No Comments on Brothers Osborne on the message of “Nobody's Nobody”: “It's very fitting for our times now”

Brothers Osborne‘s “Nobody’s Nobody” boasts a powerful message about unity, self-love and loving one another. But when it came to choosing their new single, the multiple-award-winning duo expected their team to choose a rollicking, more uptempo song, instead of the midtempo “Nobody’s Nobody.”

“I thought it would be one of the more party songs people would want to lead with. But the fact that everyone kind of chose that to be the song was really awesome,” the duo’s TJ Osborne shares with ABC Audio. “It does have a great message and I think it’s very fitting for our times now. And, it’s still a fun song.”

“Sun goes up/ Sun goes down/ Takes all kinds of kinds/ To make this world go ’round/ Everybody’s somebody, someone/ A sinner, saint, or son of a gun/ Nobody’s nobody,” goes the chorus of the song, which TJ and John Osborne co-wrote with Kendell Marvel and Mike Elizondo.

“I just love the message of that song. But also not doing it in a way that’s so, you know, ‘We Are the World’ or ‘Kumbaya’-y, which is really, as a writer, very challenging to do,” continues TJ. “We’ve all attempted to write them, but sometimes they just write themselves.”

“Nobody’s Nobody” is the first preview of Brothers Osborne’s upcoming as-yet-untitled album, which is slated to drop later this year.

Garth Brooks releases new song “Only Country Music”

No Comments on Garth Brooks releases new song “Only Country Music”

Garth Brooks released his new song “Only Country Music,” launched on his new TuneIn radio station, The Big 615. The song was written by Brooks and Nashville songwriters Ashley Gorley and Matt Rossi.

Brooks says Only Country Music was just recently recorded: “In the middle of [beta testing the channel] as recently as three weeks ago, came an idea from Ashely Gorley sitting right down with Matt Rossi, and he says, ‘I want to write a song that just if you’re looking for something, hey, that’s only country music … And he just started in and the first thing — he’s sitting right there on the couch 50 feet away from where we’re sitting, and he goes, ‘Where else can you say Jesus and Jack Daniels in one line?’ I said, ‘I’m in.’ So it’s really good, man, and only country music. I really enjoyed — I think the track’s screaming. It’s a lot of fun… When you hear it, you go, ‘Okay, that’s what it is. It’s country music.’ So I love it!’”

Brooks described the song as feeling “traditional Garth” and features vocals from wife Trisha Yearwood: “We had her [Tricia] doing both harmonies here because it was too high for me. I’m playing Vegas and I’m going, ‘You know what? Just get your ass back in the studio and reach those notes. Get after it.’ And so I came back in and now it feels more like the traditional Garth thing with her and I.”
