One More For The Road: Kenny Chesney has added a little reggae flavor to his Sun
City Carnival Tour with the addition of Wailers drummer Drummie Zeb. He will play
percussion starting tomorrow night (4/17) in Uncasville, CT.

Humor Ill: Walt Disney/Lyric Street's Billy Ray Cyrus responded to Jamie Foxx's
comments about Miley Cyrus, and subsequent apology, during a Wednesday taping of the Bonnie Hunt Show that aired today (4/16). "It was hurtful, there wasn't nothing funny about it," Billy Ray said. "And quite frankly, I think if I said those things
about his daughter he might not find it so comedic."
