Chris Young is one of the hottest artists in country music right now, having just celebrated his third straight No. 1, “Voices.” His new single, “Tomorrow,” has reached the Top 20 and his latest album, Neon, will be released later this summer.
Bethany Hamilton has become a source of inspiration to millions through her story of determination, and hope after being attacked by a 14-foot tiger shark while surfing off Kauai’s North Shore. The attack took her left arm and seemed to end her surfing career. Her story will be seen on the big screen in Soul Surfer in which Carrie Underwood will make her big screen debut. AnnaSophia Robb will star as Bethany in the movie and is known for her roles in Race to Witch Mountain and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

country dance for wii
Joining the video game dance craze is Country Dance, a new game from GameMill Entertainment. Country Dance features songs from more than 25 of country’s biggest artists, including Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw, Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert, Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, and Darius Rucker as well as favorite tunes from the ’90s like “Achy Breaky Heart,” “Watermelon Crawl” and “Boot Scootin’ Boogie.” Eighteen of the artists featured in the game have won a CMA Award. If you purchase the game at Walmart, you’ll also get a bonus track, Alan Jackson’s “Good Time.”
Like other dance video games on the market, Country Dance puts players through their paces as they mimic the avatar’s on-screen dance moves. The player’s moves are recorded by the Wii’s censor, which determines scoring. Dances range from a 1-star to a 3-star difficulty level, with 3 stars being the hardest. “Chicken Fried,” for instance, is perfect for the beginner, but “Cowboy Casanova” and “Good Time” are not for the faint of heart. Up to four people can play at a time.
Country Dance will hit stores 29 March 2011.

underwood banned on radio station
Country music star Carrie Underwood's songs have been banned from a radio station in Ottawa, Canada.
KISS 105.3 is blaming Underwood for her husband Mike Fisher's move to Nashville. Fisher was traded from the Ottawa Senators to the Nashville Predators on 10 Feb. 2011. The station's executives said he was "lured way" from the Senators hockey team "by a country music star." Fisher told the Vancouver Sun that his wife was extremely disappointed and frustrated by the radio ban, saying Carrie had nothing to do with the trade.
grand line up for the opry
Additionally, fans will have a chance to meet Opry member Terri Clark, who will sign copies of her latest CD, The Long Way Home, and her new DVD, “Live At Cedar Creek,” in The Opry Shop on 5 March 2011 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. before appearing on that night’s Opry show.
underwood's hockey husband traded to the predators
Country music singer Carrie Underwood will no longer have to wait for Ottawa Senators' road trips to see her hockey-playing husband, 30-year-old Canadian center Mike Fisher.
The Senators traded Fisher to the Nashville Predators on Thursday for a first-round NHL Draft pick and a future pick conditional on Fisher's performance with the club in the American country music capitol.
Underwood, a former "American Idol" winner who married Fisher last year, lives in Nashville and will welcome an end to their long-distance romance even as the Senators lose their co-leader in goals with 14.
"I'm sure a lot of teams would have coveted Mike but we're hoping it is going to be an attractive situation for Mike and his wife," Predators general manager David Poile said.
Fisher would likely make his Nashville debut Saturday against Colorado.
"This is not a rental like a lot of deals are at the trading deadline," Poile said. "This is a deal that is hopefully going to help us down the stretch this year, but hopefully help us for a lot of years to come."
The Predators have reached the playoffs five times in the past six years but have not advanced beyond the opening round. They rank fifth in the Western Conference this season with 29 triumphs and 65 points through 55 games.
The Senators rank third-worst in the NHL with 17 wins and 42 points from 55 games.
