Blake Shelton is offering fans a chance to hear the music from his second six-pack collection, All About Tonight, on People.com.

It's a Brad Paisley tradition that he gives away a white hat to a lucky fan in his audience and then gets it back so he can sign it.

Brad tells, The New Yorker magazine, "If I wanted to buy a hat like that, I wouldn't want a signature on it. Unless it was Clint Eastwood." |
