Viewers in the audience and at home could only watch in amazement as two of the finest guitarists around traded licks during Thursday night’s ‘CMA Country Christmas’ special on ABC. Brian Setzer sang while Brad Paisley took lead on ‘Sleigh Ride’ and ‘Boogie Woogie Santa Claus.’
Brad Paisley was the subject of a recent ‘Nightline’ profile as he promoted his new book ‘Diary of a Player: How My Musical Heroes Made a Guitar Man Out of Me,’ and on the TV special, he dropped a bombshell: He was recently pulled over for a suspected DUI. The only caveat was that … Paisley wasn’t drunk! In fact, he doesn’t drink or smoke at all.
Brad Paisley are Carrie Underwood are facing some downright nasty competition (if one believes they are truly competing for their jobs as CMA co-hosts). In the just released commercial for the November 9 broadcast, Miss Piggy throws open the audition room door and proclaims the job hers.
Brad Paisley has a few ideas of what should become of recently killed Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. The active tweeter posted two thoughts on the topic, and indicated the dictator would not be in his thoughts and prayers moving forward.
Oh my gosh! Brad Paisley really is into Star Trek! Look what happened at one of his concerts

Taste of Country got an exclusive interview with Brad Paisley this week, in which, among other things, the country superstar talks about how Carrie Underwood has become his go-to duet partner.
"She’s probably pretty much my first choice to sing with when it comes to a duet with a woman like that. I mean, we just sort of share the same values and get along that well," Paisley tells Taste of Country. "I just don’t think there’s a better singer than her, so it’s sort of selfish to be able to sing with her and perform."
