Entertainment This Morning with Gary and Bristol Wednesday, December 16 [VIDEO]

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!

Jordan Smith won the 9^th season of The Voice last night. I can’t believe this is the first season where I haven’t watched a single episode! I feel bad, like I’m cheating on Blake and Adam! Emily Ann Roberts came in second and Barrett Baber and Jeffery Austin rounded out the runners up.

You wouldn’t think it, but Carrie Underwood is a total Grinch when it comes to Christmas shopping. She says, "I hate shopping for Christmas presents.  I wander around aimlessly in malls thinking, 'what would fill-in-the-blank like?'  Yep, that looks like her, okay, I'll get that."

Whoa! I’ve never actually watched Barbara Walters 10 Most Fascinating People special, but tomorrow night might be an exception. Apparently Barbara is a pervy cougar just like me… Word is she tells Bradley Cooper she finds him handsome and sexy and wouldn’t mind getting ‘Biblical’ with him…

How funny is this?!?! Serena Williams was just named Sports Illustrated’s Sportsperson of the Year but this past Sunday she couldn’t finish her own 5K and took a cab to the finish line!

Dang! Star Wars: The Force Awakens is bigger than I even thought and I grew up on the franchise… According to the Hollywood Reporter, presale tickets have already tipped the scales at over $100 MILLION in North America alone. Experts are saying it could reach $120 million. To put it in perspective, the previous advance ticket sale record holder was The Dark Knight Rises with $25 million.

Just in case there was any doubt, it’s official. Dierks Bentley will be co-hosting the ACMs along with Luke Bryan!

Speaking of Luke Bryan, he played Archery Kart Battle for an upcoming episode of The Dude Perfect Show on CMT and it looks like he’s having a blast.

Don’t forget, Luke will be here in Bossier City with Dustin Lynch at the CenturyLink Center Saturday, March 12, 2016.

Rascal Flatts got to talking about the best Christmas presents they ever got and an old school Nintendo gaming system made the list. I was always jealous of the kids who had Nintendo… we had Intellivision at our house and Mario couldn’t save the princess on it! A wind up Evel Knievel and a set of vintage Gretsch drums also made their list.

Brian Williams was back on NBC yesterday for the first time since he was suspended. He covered for Lester Holt who was out sick. Meanwhile, NBC also said goodbye to Willard Scott on Today.
