Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley are named in a lawsuit saying their duet "Remind Me" was plagiarized. A songwriter named Amy Bowen says she wrote the song in 2007 while living in Nashville. The lawsuit claims that she sang the song agt a showcase attended by two of the song's co-writers. Both Brad and Carrie say, though, the song came to life during a phone call. “When we were a little ways into the writing, I said, ‘I just hear her singin’,’ so I call her. I didn’t even have a verse when I talked to you on the phone. I said, ‘I promise this’ll be great." Brad said. Carrie adds, ”It happened just like that.”

Trace Adkins broke his foot. Leave it to Trace to post a cringe-worthy photo of it on Twitter with the tweet, "This is gross." (You've been warned, it is pretty gross!) The oversharing didn't stop there, however, as Trace later tweeted, "I also have a rash that I'm trying to get a good pic of. Having some difficulty." Wanna see the larger version of the photo? OK...go here: http://www.whosay.com/traceadkins/photos/324441
