Garth Brooks is catching heat after his lawyers publicly revealed his rape accuser’s NAME.  They amended a complaint in federal court on Tuesday and included her actual name in it. She’d said that if the COURT decided she had to reveal her name to move forward with the case, she was willing to do that. Her lawyers put out this statement, “Garth Brooks just revealed his true self.  Out of spite and to punish, he publicly named a rape victim.” They claimed it’s because “he thinks the laws don’t apply to him.”  Meanwhile, Garth’s lawyers cast doubt on the whole thing in a separate filing, calling him “the victim of a shakedown.” They claim she came up with a”malicious scheme to blackmail” him into paying her millions, because he didn’t give her a salaried job with benefits. Garth briefly addressed the lawsuit at the start of his podcast Monday, calling it “the elephant in the room.”  He told fans to “settle in,” because it could take TWO YEARS.  So, “Let’s hold hands and take the trip together. He said that, legally, he couldn’t say anything else.  So that’s where he left it.

Onn Jordan Davis’s Damn Good Time Tour, at a recent stop in Toronto, Jordan took the mic and asked for Mitchell Tenpenny to join him back onstage.  When Mitchell was walking back out, he was confused for a moment, because none of it was scripted. Jordan embraced his friend Mitchell and said, “I love him to death.  Out of all the people I met when I moved to Nashville, this guy’s heart is bigger than anyone I know.” Jordan then went on to tell the crowd that he was donating a portion of the tour’s proceeds to Mitchell’s charity called the “10penny Fund”, which supports families affected by cancer. And then they brought out a check for $200,000 to donate to the “10penny Fund”.  Jordan said, “Mitchell, I love you, buddy.  You deserve every penny of it.”  And then the two men shared a hug.

There are over 30 Luke Bryan corn maze designs in the United States right now.  It probably has something to do with Luke’s annual Farm Tour . . . Or is it that Luke is just really big with the corn maze crowd? What better way to get lost this fall, then in a field of corn mowed to look like Luke Bryan.
