Brad Paisley's spinning a lot of plates lately. Not only is he once again going to co-host the CMA's with Carrie Underwood November 10th on ABC, he's also up for the male vocalist of the year award. Brad's been nominated for a CMA every year since 2000 putting him at number three on the all time nomination list with 52. George Strait has the most with 81 and Alan Jackson is second with 79. As if he's not busy enough, Brad and Bon Jovi are both performing free next month as part of Alabama's "Concerts For The Coast" event series, to help bring attention and tourists back to the Alabama Gulf Coast.

Sounds like he might be living out one of his country songs. Remember Doug Stone? He was really big in the 90's with hits like "I'd Be Better off in a Pine Box" and "Why Didn't I Think of That?" is probably asking those questions today. CMT.com says Doug was arrested for DUI in Gallatin, Tenn., early last Tuesday morning. Local officers were notified about a possible intoxicated driver, said The Tennessean, and Doug was pulled over about 5am. He was released on $3000 bond and will be in court October 5th.

Taylor Swift's new video for her sure to be smash "Mine" makes its official debut tomorrow evening at 8:30pm on CMT, VH-1 and MTV.

But as is the case when it comes to Taylor, it's already been leaked on the internet. I'm not gonna spoil it for you, but will give you a sneak peak. The video is not all hearts and flowers as it follows Taylor thru a relationship, including marriage and kids! Enjoy! Taylor's new album "Speak Now" is out October 25th. Can't wait!

A ruckus last week at a Toby Keith show in New York resulted in the arrest of 42 people, who were really enjoying themselves. Nope, it wasn't the country superstar's fault, he was just doing his show at the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center in Darien Lake. Let's just say, some folks were way overserved, and 36 of them were charged with underaged drinking. Sprinkle in some physical assault, trespassing and harassment charges throughout and it makes for a "memorable" evening. But Toby tells the Boot the issues started way before Friday night's show, "I think most of the problems that kids have start at home. All those things come from underneath your roof at your house ... At some point you've just got to practice tough love and make them pay for it." Read more here. Strong words, no?

Check out some of your fave country music stars all week long on the "Today" show...hour number four. Starting today, host Hoda Kotb will be joined by Blake Shelton. Tuesday will be Martina McBride, Wednesday John Rich, Thursday Trisha Yearwood and Friday, Josh Turner. Was most def LOL-ing this morning when I saw Miranda Lambert's tweet about Blake's appearance today, "Blake is hosting the today show with Hoda....Tune in to watch the train wreck!!:)" While it was fun to be on vacation in sunny Florida last week, I was bummed to miss the Blake Shelton show at the Fraze last Thursday and now even MORE bummed when I heard he brought out his honey Miranda to sing a few songs! Grrr...I'm such a loser! Aw well! Make sure you listen every morning for your chance to Beat the Box Office all week long for 5-4-3-2-1 row seats to see Miranda and Eric Church at the Nutter Center October 9th!

Taylor Swift was no doubt bummed when a poor quality version of her new single "Mine" got leaked before it's scheduled August 16th debut. She tweeted yesterday, "I landed in Japan (where she's on tour) and got 20 texts and looked at iTunes and got tears in my eyes. And so, we begin again :)" Listen to "Mine" here. To me, it sounds pretty much like all of Taylor's stuff, about love and hope, etc. But it's a more grown up version. Bye bye high school, hello college! The opening lyrics is "You were in college, working part-time, waiting tables/Left a small town and never looked back." I was wondering if she would be able to get beyond the teenaged angst and it appears from "Mine" she has. While the "bootleg" copy may have been a record label "leak" as some say to boost interest, there is some good news. Since the song officially came out Wednesday afternoon, it's zoomed quickly to the top of ITunes. Read more about it. Taylor's "Speak Now" album is out October 25th, unless it's leaked early!
