Kurt’s Blog: Carrie Underwood…National Treasure

You know it’s true…but on my list of “National Treasures“…Carrie Underwood is on that list. Are you kidding? How could she not be? Talented…kind…beautiful…National Treasure.

I’m very excited for tonight’s Carrie Underwood show at the Wells Fargo Arena…it’ll be the third time my wife and I have seen her…and she’s fantastic every time. I missed her when she was at the Fair two years back…but her shows at the Arena have been AWESOME.

The last time she performed at WFA…she was not feeling well at all…yet still powered through a great show. She even said that she felt bad about performing while ill, so the money generated at the show was going to be given back to a charity…which she followed through with…which is absolutely fantastic!

I’ve had the honor of getting to meet her twice…and she is so sweet and down-to-earth.

‘Scary Movie’ tops box office, slaying ‘Masters of the Universe’ and adding to low-budget streak

Fresh

The summer box office is booming — but not because of the usual suspects. After three weeks of indie horror dominance at the box office, the slasher spoof "Scary Movie" topped ticket sales with $55 million over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday, easily besting the far-from-mighty "Masters of the Universe."

Carolina trails Vegas in the Stanley Cup Final and has a big decision to make for Game 4

Fresh

A sequence of events in a Stanley Cup Final that has gotten crazier by the minute has put the Carolina Hurricanes at a crossroads. They blew a two-goal lead and lost Game 1, erased a two-goal deficit and won Game 2, and rallied from down four goals in Game 3, only to lose in double overtime on a fluky bounce.
