Entertainment this Morning with Gary and Bristol Thursday, March 3

Six days a week, Gary and Bristol get up before the sun shines to bring you the latest from Nashville, New York City and Hollywood with Entertainment this Morning!

The cast for the new season of Dancing with the Stars is shaping up and the latest to join up is Jodie Sweetin alongside Kim Fields, Mischa Barton and some other people you’d have to Google to figure out who they are. As we reported yesterday, Dancing pro Derek Hough will be sitting this season out. Season 22 kicks off March 21, 2016 on ABC.

Word is that Blake Shelton’s next single is about Miranda Lambert… at least according to NashvilleGab.com. They’re saying it’s nasty and supposedly refers to Miranda as a ‘B.’

In other Blake Shelton news, he bought his current gal pal Gwen Stefani a horse… of course, he bought one for himself, too! Forget jewelry boys… all girls love ponies! Make sure you two crazy kids wear helmets!

Look at my fancy fringe!! #cantbelivemylife Gx #Halo

Poor Merle Haggard! The singer is 78 and still struggling with recurring double pneumonia. He cancelled several shows back in December and January and even some last month. His doctors say they want him to stay off the road for at least another month to recover. FYI, Merle’s show that was scheduled for tomorrow night, Friday, March 4, 2016 at the Horseshoe Casino Riverdome has been cancelled. We’ll let you know if/when the show is rescheduled.
