Charley Pride announced that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will star and produce a biopic about his life. Originally, actor Terrence Howard was slated to play Charley, but studio changes delayed and ultimately shelved the Howard film. “Terrence is no doubt a more in-depth actor academically, but Dwayne is such a force on screen,” said Charley. “It startled me a little at first, but he flew down to Dallas and spent a day with me just sitting, talking recently. And when he left it was like parting with an old friend. We had such similar views on so many things.”

Charlie Daniels’ main barn at his Twin Pines Ranch in Wilson County has burned to the ground. The fire started around 7:30 pm Friday night and animals that were in the barn at the time did die from the blaze. Charlie Daniels’ personal manager says the country music legend was not at home nor was his wife when the fire broke out. The barn and the memorabilia inside were destroyed. The cost of the loss is not yet know, neither is the cause of the fire. This is the same property where parts of the George Strait movie “Pure Country 2″ were shot in 2009.
“I’m trying to be in the moment and really enjoy my pregnancy,” says the singer, who in 2009 released a collection of children’s songs titled Lullaby and is now working on a new children’s album. “I feel really lucky.”
