LUKE BRYAN - will co-host the 48th annual Academy of Country Music Awards with returning host Blake Shelton. The news was revealed late yesterday after an ACM Twitter campaign to "unlock" the name of Blake's new co-host. The "Over" singer has split emcee duties the past two years with Reba McEntire, who had to decline this year because of her commitment to her new sitcom, "Malibu Country." In taking over Reba's mic, Luke will mark his first time ever hosting a live television event. 

BLAKE & TRACE - Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins have a lot more in common than just their "Hillbilly Bone"s. They're both country stars on hit NBC reality competition shows. So you'd think "The Voice" coach would be highly supportive of the "Celebrity Apprentice All-Stars" contestant, right? At a recent network party, Blake was asked if he'll be watching his buddy compete on the show and answered jokingly, "I guess if there is absolutely nothing else on.” Let the fun begin. 

TIM MCGRAW - An album of Tim McGraw duets will be released by his former record label. The collection, Tim McGraw and Friends, includes songs he's done with Lionel Richie, Tony Bennett, Faith Hill and Randy Travis. It will be released on January 22nd. Tim's album of new material, Two Lanes of Freedom -- his first for Big Machine Records -- comes out on February 5th. Let the feud begin.
