Testimoney continues in Garth Brooks’ lawsuit against a hospital in Oklahoma over a $500,000 donation to name a building after his late mother, Colleen. In an email to staff members in March 2009, CEO and President James Moore stated the hospital “may not deny Garth access to the money,” but could “make him work to get it.” Moore on Thursday testified that he never made an agreement with Brooks on naming rights in connection with the $500,000. He said the gift from Brooks was anonymous and “unrestricted,” meaning the money could be used for anything. Earlier, Moore testified that Brooks considered donating up to $15 million if the facility would rename itself after his mother.

What is missing on Alan Jackson's face? His mustache. He shaved it off to make the video for his new single, 'So You Don’t Have to Love Me Anymore.‘ It’s far from a clean-shaven look for Alan. He is sporting a "stubblestache", just a hint of a mustache. It's a full committment to a "no mustache" look but it’s a long way from the classic lip-topper he’s been so closely associated with. The video for ‘So You Don’t Have to Love Me Anymore’ is below. ‘So You Don’t Have to Love Me Anymore’ is the second single from Jackson’s new album, which has yet to be released. The project is his first since leaving Sony Nashville in January 2011.

The New York Post is reporting that Kenny Chesney wants to leave his current record label and find one that will market him as a mainstream artist. Kenny is with Sony Music's BNA Records and is reportedly looking for a record label that will pay him $30 million for a 5 album deal and a promise to market him as a "mainstream" artist. His manager said, "This is very inaccurate. We have no plans to be anything but a country-music artist ... Also, we have enjoyed a long-term, successful relationship with Sony ... The numbers you speak about and Warner Bros., etc., are purely rumors that are far from the truth."

Congratulations to homeboy Jerrod Niemann. His number-one smash, “Lover, Lover,” is now officially a million-seller! It’s Jerrod’s very first RIAA-certified Platinum Digital Single, and for someone who just wanted to find a place for himself in the country music world, seeing his music achieve that level of success is truly an amazing feeling. “It’s just amazing to me, it’s changed my life, and country music has changed my life ever since I could, I guess, speak or sing. And so to affect it, you know, one way or another, is just truly a dream come true. And that’s all that’s really mattered to me is just being a part of country music and the Music City family.”

Scotty McCreery is releasing his calendar for the rest of the year. It looks like this: Go on tour with Brad Paisley. End tour in time to pitch for his high school baseball team this spring. Graduate high school. Enroll in college. Start college in the fall. But the American Idol winner does say he plans a parttime college class schedule. "That's going to be ... another monster," he tells Nashville's Tennessean. "But we're going to figure out a way to do [it]. It might take me 50 years to get a degree, but I want to get there and go to college." Scotty will hit the road with Brad, and fellow opening act the Band Perry this Thursday (January 12) in Grand Rapids, Michigan. And, he comes to Wichita a week later on January 20th.

Country Music News Highlight of 2011 #3 Reverberations are still being felt from the tragic collapse of the stage at the Indiana State Fair just before Sugarland was to take the stage in Indianapolis on August 13th. The collapse ultimately killed seven people and injured several dozen more. The accident, precipitated by high winds, spawned a series of yet-to-be-settled lawsuits and prompted industry-wide discussions on the need for higher safety standards for outdoor stages and for more rigorous enforcement of the rules. Sugarland talked about the tragedy on ABC's special CMA pre-show with Robin Roberts. Watch the video below
