Jana Kramer Still Waiting

Posted on: January 28th, 2016 by Mel McCrae

The countdown is on for Jana Kramer. Any day now, she is due to deliver her baby girl, according to her Celebrity Baby Blog at People.com, and she admits she’s getting antsy.

“Everyone warned me of this time, that the last few weeks will be the longest and it’s so true,” she shares. “I feel like the days are creeping by.” Lately, she’s been keeping busy doing anything that might bring on the start of labor, including eating pineapple, spicy food and working out with her trainer.

“My doctor says to keep doing more squats,” she tweeted. “If I do any more squats my legs are gonna fall off. #anyday.” She adds with a wink she’s also done “more fun stuff” that she can’t mention online that are said to bring on childbirth.

Tyler Farr Shelved, On Vocal Rest

Posted on: January 27th, 2016 by Mel McCrae

Tyler Farr has been forced to cancel his tour with Lee Brice after being put on total vocal rest after undergoing surgery to remove a polyp on his vocal cords.

The ‘Life Off My Years Tour’ was announced in November of 2015 and is starting February 4 in Salisbury, MD, but in a post to Twitter on yesterday (January 27), Tyler broke the news that he won’t be able to make the dates.

Tyler, who is an operatically trained vocalist, says he first noticed he was having problems last year when he was touring with Jason Aldean. He was diagnosed with a polyp on his vocal cords after coming down with bronchitis to end 2015.

“This is the last thing I would’ve ever expected,” he said in a press release. “I sing hard, and I give it everything I have every night, but I really believed I was putting my training to work. After a No. 1 song, an awesome tour with Jason and getting engaged, this is not how I thought I was going to be winding up 2015.”

Carrie Underwood is known for having what may be the best set of legs in country music and she earned them the hard way,through hours in the gym. Over the years she’s made no secret of her workout schedule, and it seems even though she’ll be touring this summer with her son, Isaiah, she isn’t going to let the road slow her down.

New tour toys! Had a #mobilegym made for this year! Now I can work out anywhere! (There are a few finishing touches that still need to be done to it) My new motto is: #ShreddedBySummer The one and only @eveoverlandfitness is going to help me get there. I'll post progress as I go! I'm super excited!
