These two pals have worked together on lots of stuff: Brad Paisley had William Shatner appear in two of his videos, “Online” and “Celebrity.” And back in 2004, when The Shat Man did a spoken word album, he collaborated with Brad on a song called “Real.”  So they’re at it again! Shatner, now 80, is working on a space-themed album and has invited Brad to sing the Steve Miller Classic “Space Cowboy” with him. Should be a crack up, if their previous song is any indication. The album is set to come out “later this year.”

Turns out Paisley has a huge crush on Carrie Underwood, but in this case, it’s Brad Paisley’s 4 year-old son Huck. Last week Carrie was hanging out at Brad’s studio on his property (because they’re recording their first ever duet together….yay!!!) and Huck fell in instantly in love with her. On Valentine’s day, he went out to the store with his mom and picked out some roses for her, then dictated a note to go with them: “I hope you have an incredible day and night. Love, Huck.” Then when his parents allowed him to visit the studio, he did the only thing he could think of that might impress her. He flexed his arms he-man style and shouted out, “Hey, Carrie!! Look how strong I am!!!” The guy’s got the moves already.

Nice of him to give us a little Christmas gift. If you want to get the song “This Is Country Music,” click here.  Hurry, though, because the freebie only lasts for a week.

I’m a big fan of the Brad Paisley/Carrie Underwood CMA hosting combo, so I’m happy to report that the twoof them will be back again as co-hosts for this year’s show.  Next week, the nominees will be announced, and the date of the show has been set for November 10th.

Brad Paisley is touring Europe, and he got all excited about his visit to Norway.  It’s always fun for country stars to visit countries where they’re not even sure if people know who they are, only to find out that they’ve got thousands of fans there.  And that’s exactly what happened to Brad in Norway, as you’ll see from his tweets:

“As they say in Norvay, “herda shveeda veeda nyuva fyerda shveena shmeena myerna vyooda freeda shmorgasboarda.””

“By the way, these Norwegians are the nicest people I’ve ever met. Truly.”

“There is nothing like singing “when yer a celebrity it’s adios…” and hearing a crowd sing”re-all-e-tee” with a norsk accent back at you.”

“I sure loved Norway. Beautiful. And you knew every word. Gotta come back.”

Yep. It happened in Plainview, Texas, where a high school yearbook staff chose a Brad Paisley song, “Time Well Wasted,” as their yearbook theme. The idea, they say, is that you think you’re wasting time when you’re in school, but years later you realize it was time well spent. The teachers, however, did not agree AT ALL. They were furious, saying that “we work our tails off to give these students the best education…and at the end of the year all we have is a yearbook stating that it was a waste of time.” I guess they’re not super-open to the idea that it might not really be a total insult to them. Someone’s head had to roll, and in this case it was Nicole Jackson, the yearbook advisor. Wonder what Brad would think?

Kenny Chesney is in 3D right now at a theater near you, but he’s not the only country star on the big screen this weekend.  Brad Paisley’s short film, “When Mom’s Away,” is premiering at the Nashville Film Festival this week.  This little movie is something Brad did to torture his wife, acress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, when she left town recently and put him in charge of their two sons.  Brad and the boys in his band ran out to Toys R Us and bought a doll the size of son Jasper, then put Jasper’s clothes on the doll.  They put “Jasper” through all kinds of craziness, including shooting guns, riding a horse and speeding down a hill in a stroller.  Brad says when Kimberly got home and asked how things went, he just handed her the remote and said, “press play.”  Yikes!  The movie probably won’t get released around the country, but I’m hoping some of it will end up on Youtube.

Yes, if it’s the crap of an Indonesian Civet. As sort of a joke, Brad Paisley’s band gave him some “kopi luwak,” an expensive and rare coffee drink that is derived from the poop of a cat-like animal that eats the fruit of the coffee plant. Brad says this delicacy his favorite morning beverage now! Good thing he can afford it…it’s at least $100 a pound.
