Entertainment This Morning with Gary and Bristol Friday, February 27

Each weekday morning on Kiss Country, we give you the latest entertainment news from Nashville, New York City and Hollywood!

Robert De Niro was hit with a $6,410,449.20 tax bill, from his 2013 earnings.  His rep says that as soon as he found out about it, quote, "He had a check for the full amount hand delivered to the IRS." Could you imagine being able to right a six million dollar plus check… and have it clear?!?!? Me either!

Rumor has it Taylor Swift has lost 10 pounds since last summer, thanks to a "diet secret" where she eats those seeds that you spread on Chia Pets.  Yes... eating chia seeds IS a thing.  A "source" says, quote, "She'll eat [them] like a bird all day long . . . because they're a natural way to stay slim." See, this would never work for me… I’d just over eat on the seeds… I tried something similar with almonds and apples. Apparently you’re not supposed to eat the entire bag!

The New York Post says the Kardashians signed a $100 million deal to stay with E! for four more years.  Bruce Jenner was NOT part of the deal, because they're supposedly giving him his own show to chronicle his "transformation".  But E! says the Post’s numbers are, quote, "grossly inaccurate." I hate to tell you E!, but that’s not the only thing gross about this!

Garth Brooks did a surprise club show in Nashville Wednesday to kick off CRS which is the Country Radio Seminar that included a full band, confetti cannons, and military troops.  Meanwhile, Dierks Bentley  and his fake '90s country cover band did a private show that featured Miranda Lambert, Randy Houser and Charles Kelley.  Um… I guess my invitation got lost in the mail!

I knew Hillary Scott  from Lady Antebellum and I had something in common! She says she gets closer to God when she encounters airplane turbulence.  Quote, "I get nervous so I listen to old-school hymns or gospel.  I was on a plane before Christmas and it was a turbulent landing.  I was literally singing 'How Great Thou Art' in my row.  I'm going to get right with God if it's going down!" I’m not going to lie, I do something similar. I listen to Joyce Meyer podcasts when I get anxious!
