BRAD PAISLEY IS “TAKING ORDERS” FOR UPCOMING ALBUM. Brad Paisley doesn’t like to keep his fans waiting. The reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year is currently in the studio wrapping up his next album This Is Country Music, and is giving fans the chance to own the new music before the album is complete. “I’m able to sell you this album while I’m still making it. It’s like when you go and you hear somebody, like if Chevy says we’re unveiling a new Corvette, and it’s not out ’til next year but we’re taking orders, that’s what we’re doing. We’re still designing this Corvette for you, and I’m havin’ the best time I can possibly have writing and recording this album.” Fans can visit ThisIsCountryMusic.com to place their pre-sale order for the new record. Brad will launch his H20 Frozen Over tour on January 20th in Green Bay, Wisconsin, with Darius Rucker and Jerrod Niemann as his special guests.

This Is Nuts
Lake Superior State University released its 38th annual list of Words Banished from the Queen's English for Misuse, Overuse and General Uselessness. The 2010 poll was topped by Sarah Palin's typo, "refudiate." Her "mama grizzlies" also made the banished list, along with "man up," "the American people," "I'm just sayin'," "live life to the fullest," and a lot of Internet-derived slang, such as "viral," "epic," "fail" and using "Google" and "Facebook" as verbs, as in "Just Google it" or "I was Facebooking last night."
* Apparently, the word "MySpacing" has already been banished from the language.
HEALTH MOMENT
As couples grow old together, their happiness levels also wax and wane in sync, a new study suggests.
The findings suggest a possible resource that hasn't been tapped for promoting healthy aging. Similar to a pill or other treatment, a chipper spouse may boost a partner's feelings of well-being.
While the findings may seem obvious, lead researcher Christiane Hoppmann said this phenomenon hadn't been studied over a long period, following the same couples over time instead of just looking at snapshots or asking couples to look back over their lives and recall well-being.
"There are all kinds of changes in perception that occur over the course of a marriage that make you look at it differently in retrospect," said Hoppmann, who is in the department of psychology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
As people age and their health inevitably suffers, the researchers expected happiness would also take a hit. But the results showed that while there were some ups and downs within individual couples, average happiness for the group didn't change much over time.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
TheDailyBeast.com complied statistics on average alcohol consumption per month, binge drinking levels and deaths from alcoholic liver disease, and they've named Milwaukee as "the Drunkest City in America." The average Milwaukee adult has nearly 13 drinks a month. It was followed by Fargo, San Francisco, Austin and Reno. Surprisingly, New Orleans only ranked 25th, 11 places below Sioux City, Iowa; while America's "Sin City," Las Vegas, came in 36th, two places below Davenport, Iowa.
• Los Angeles would've won, but at the time of the study, Lindsay Lohan was in rehab.
