 NASHVILLE, TN January 8, 2010  --  Jimmy Wayne will conduct his first live web broadcast from the road during his 1660-mile walk for the homeless on Monday January 11th at 9:00 am CT.

The website for Wayne’s “Meet Me Halfway” walk from Nashville to Phoenix went live today (http://meetmehalfway.jimmywayne.com <http://meetmehalfway.jimmywayne.com>  ). On the site, fans can track Wayne’s progress, view video and photo updates from the road as well as donate to “Meet Me Halfway” to help homeless youth. Wayne’s Monday webcast on the new site will mark his first live broadcast since beginning his trek halfway across America on New Year’s Day.
  

So far, the coldest temperatures the Southeast has seen in some 50 years have slowed Wayne’s progress, but the artist is still making good time, and at this moment (Friday afternoon) is outside Jackson, Tennessee.
 
“I’ve had to sleep inside the past several nights because of these single digit temperatures,” Wayne said.  “That wasn’t my plan, but sometimes Mother Nature wins.  Next week the area will hit highs in the 40’s, downright balmy compared to what it’s been, and I hope to get some good hours of walking under my belt.”
 
Meet Me Halfway is a project Wayne began in order to raise awareness of the plight of homeless children, teens and young people, particularly those who age out of the foster care system and often have nowhere to go.
 
“This situation is one we as a nation need to talk about because there is a fix,” Wayne said. “No one should be without a roof over their head and a warm place to sleep at night. But there are hundreds of thousands of kids in this country who are faced with exactly that problem.  I have been overwhelmed by the kindness of people on my walk—I know what America is made of, and I know we can help these kids. It's amazing how something as simple as walking can influence many to take a stand.”

Kenny Rogers featured in Billboard’s 50 th  Anniversary of Adult Contemporary chart   Rogers’ Ranks Sixth-Best All Time and Fourth-Best Male with 28 AC Top 10 hits Nashville, TN (August 25, 2011) – According to Billboard, Kenny Rogers’ 28 Adult Contemporary Top 10’s are sixth-best all-time, and fourth-best among men, trailing only Elton John, Neil Diamond and Elvis Presley.  Kenny Rogers' feats on the AC chart include 47 hits, tying him with Barry Manilow for seventh-most in the chart's history. 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. A few hours later, they robbed a bank in G
