Brad Paisley
It's been a big week for Taylor Swift. First she did double duty on SNL as host and musical guest, and then last night she won Female Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Entertainer of the Year at the CMAs. Kenny Chesney had been the reigning champ of the latter for four years straight. Go Taylor!
Luckily she has a good sense of humor about her, uh, previous awards show run in.
Brad Paisley and his wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley have announced the name of their new son.
And it’s not Atticus Moby Dick Paisley to go with his two-year-old big brother William Huckleberry, named after Huck Finn.
The little boy’s name is Jasper Warren Paisley.
Brad Paisley and his wife, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, welcomed a new son Friday.
The baby, whose name has not been announced, was born on Friday morning in a Nashville-area hospital.
Paisley, 36, and Kimberly, 37, also have a 2-year-old son, William Huckleberry Paisley, named for Huck Finn.
Maybe they’ll name the new kid John Moby Dick, Matthew Atticus or Brian Harry Potter.

Last night Carrie Underwood became only the seventh woman to be named ACM Entertainer of the Year since the show began in 1970.
The last time a woman won the award was eight years ago when the Dixie Chicks picked up the 2001 honor.
The couple invited back for this week’s encore was Warren, or, as Bruno calls him, Mr. Big Fun, and Kym to perform their 007 Tango.
Back in the red room, Julianne Hough, recovered from her appendectomy, thanked Edyta for stepping in. “You’ve done an incredible job and I really mean that,” she said, with an underlying air that perhaps the two had some previous tension between them. “We’re all one big family here,” Samantha Harris gushed while Julianne made a face. What’s up with that Lady Bird?
Country star Brad Paisley was arrested early Saturday morning as he disembarked from a private jet at the Nashville International Airport.
"You've gotta be kidding me! I've never done anything wrong in my life," Paisley pleaded with the officers. Paisley was taken to the back of an unmarked police car, where he was told he’d been charged by Mrs. Jewel Murray (aka: "Who Will Save Your Soul" Jewel) "for excessive noodling."
