Tanya Tucker Sued By Manicurist And Tim McGraw Hits Platinum For Let It Go
- Check out the online country music video contest they’re holding over at FameCast. They emailed us to let us know that the first season was a great success and now they’re accepting submissions for the second season. The public votes for which video they think is the top one and the winners move on. It appears to be an American Idol/Nashville Star type contest, but the winner receives $10,000.
- File this one under “Insanely Absurd Lawsuits:” Tanya Tucker is being sued by her manicurist for $300,000. The manicurist says she was attacked by one of Tucker’s dogs on a visit to the client’s home and that she suffered “painful and disfiguring” scars from the bite. The lawsuit was filed last week while the alleged biting took place a year ago.
- Tim McGraw’s album Let It Go has already reached platinum status.
- Josh Turner talks about all the sacrifices that his wife has made since the birth of their baby boy – sacrifices he says that he probably wouldn’t have been able to make. “I think that God gives mothers something that we fathers don’t have” [that'd make a pretty good premise for a country song].
- Porter Wagoner tells Billboard that Wagonmaster is an important project to him and that it feels like he’s started his career all over again. The album will be Wagoner’s first country album in seven years.
“I just want the record to be the best one I’ve ever done,” he says, “because it could be the last one I’ll ever do. If it is, I want it to be the best one I’ve done. I feel like you should get better all the time at the craft of what you do. I love gospel music, but it’s great to get back and do this, too. This is really my forte, country music.”
- CMT has another one of their 20 Questions articles up, this time the artist answering the questions is Miranda Lambert.
Of all the songs you’ve written, which one are you most proud of and why?
“Love Is Lookin’ for You” from Kerosene. As a songwriter that’s the favorite song I’ve written. I really wrote that song from my heart, and lyrically, it’s one of the more clever songs that I’ve written.

THIS MANICURIST SHOULD BE HONORED THAT TANYA TUCKER LET HER COME TO HER HOME, INSTEAD SHE SUES HER FOR A DOG BITE. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO LET ONE OF TANYA’S DOGS BITE ME, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE SOMETHING I COULD SHOW TO OTHER FANS AND FRIENDS. SOME PEOPLE SPEND THEIR LIVES SUING OTHERS SO THEY DON’T HAVE TO WORK. KEEP SMILING TANYA, BECAUSE ALL YOUR FANS ARE SMILING WITH YOU ABOUT THIS INSANE LAW SUIT. KATHY GOSS

“I WOULD BE HAPPY TO LET ONE OF TANYA’S DOGS BITE ME, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE SOMETHING I COULD SHOW TO OTHER FANS AND FRIENDS.”
I say hell yeah. I’d take a bullet too, so I could show it off.
Something is insane here, not sure it’s the lawsuit.

Tanya fans need to learn about the cap key. Puncture wounds as a fans showpiece? I’d let Miranda Lambert bite me.

She should have sued for 3 million, Tanya Tucker should be in jail for keeping any animal in captivity. How would she like to be kept in an artificial environment?
