CRAIG MORGAN WINS VIDEO OF THE YEAR
AT INSPIRATIONAL COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS

Nashville, TN – October 16, 2009 – One of country music’s best-loved artists, Grand Ole Opry member Craig Morgan walked away from last night’s 15th Annual Inspirational Country Music Awards with Video of the Year honors, taking home the prize for his poignant clip for his hit single “God Must Really Love Me.”

“I didn’t write this song,” Craig says of his award-winning single, “But the first time I heard it, I knew I had to record it. The message that there is somebody looking out for everyone, no matter what, really rang true, especially in these tough times we’re having in this country. I wanted to share that inspiration with the fans, and Eric [Welch, the video director] did a phenomenal job of interpreting the song. I’m so honored that the ICM recognized us with this award.”

Craig is currently on tour supporting his 5th studio album, That’s Why, released on BNA Records. His current single, “Bonfire,” one of the fastest-rising of his career, is at #12* and rapidly climbing Billboard’s Top Country Songs chart.
Craig felt it was important to pair a strong prevention message with “Bonfire,” and partnered with The Advertising Council to release a series of radio PSAs about wildfire prevention. Those PSAs were distributed to radio stations nationwide last week, and are available on the Ad Council’s fulfillment website, http://psacentral.adcouncil.org.
In other Craig Morgan news, it was announced this week that Craig will travel overseas later this month to entertain our US troops in Iraq and Germany, his 6th trip to visit the men and women of the armed forces since 2002. Craig spent 10 years on active duty in the US Army before launching his music career, and knows first-hand what it’s like to be deployed overseas. He was awarded the 2006 USO Merit Award for his tireless support of US soldiers and their families. This month’s overseas visit is sponsored by nonprofit entertainment organization Stars for Stripes, along with GAC TV and Armed Forces Entertainment. High Five Entertainment will film the trip for a one-hour GAC television special, airing in December, documenting the visit.

No core country artist has crossed over more titles to AC. Rogers has scored eight AC No. 1s. Rogers: "I remember when [the AC charts] were established, I thought it was so cool. I've always been a believer in the strength of the song. My problem is I'm a country singer who's had a lot of other musical influences, so my stuff is going to tend to be more AC. That's always been my slam in country music, that I was never a true country artist, even though &q

They call her..The Bare Naked Bandit..29 yr Old Lee Grace Doherty

ARRESTED now in Colorado...but what a story and week for 2 brothers and their stripper sister! Text messages and tweets by three fugitive siblings who shot at a police officer and robbed a bank reveal a dangerous mindset and a firm bond between the siblings, "We've certainly seen their mindset when... They shot at a law enforcement officer outside of Tampa Bay, Fla., and when they fired inside that bank in Valdosta, Ga. But these additional texts and tweets have given us additional insight," FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett told "Good Morning America" today. " We are concerned and feel that they are going to continue and cause problems to say the least for law enforcement." Ryan Dougherty, 21; his sister Lee Grace E. Dougherty, 29; and half-brother Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, have been on the lam since Aug. 2 when they shot at a police officer attempting to pull their white Subaru Impreza over for speeding.
