Grand Ole Opry members Brad Paisley and Little Jimmy Dickens will participate in a press conference on Wednesday (August 25th) at the Opry House in Nashville as the famed circle of wood from the center of the stage will be returned to its spot after the being refurbished in the wake of the devastating flood in May. The Opry house has been closed for massive repairs since that time, but the historic venue plans to re-open in time for its 85th birthday festivities.

Brad told us the timing of everything was actually the one positive to take from the situation. "One thing I see here is an opportunity -- really the opportunity of a lifetime -- for the Opry, which is 85 years old. It's its anniversary year. It got devastated by a flood and yet there are high hopes and looks to be the potential to get it back on track before all of the celebrations that were planned for October. If that can be the case, we all have all of a sudden something that maybe we took for granted a little bit prior to this, and maybe never will again, so that's an opportunity and that's the silver lining I'm seeing . . . maybe."

The six-foot circle of oak was taken from the Opry's original home at the Ryman Auditorium when it moved to the Grand Ole Opry House in 1974. The circle, as well as the entire Opry stage, was covered by 47 inches of water during the flood.

If you see Carrie Underwood out somewhere, say hello but just don't get too close! The superstar tells WebMD magazine that she has a real issue with people who violate her personal space. This phobia even led to panic attacks as a high school student. Carrie said, "I'm a big personal space person. You know, if you go to the restroom, you use the stall that's not near anybody. Or if you're in the gym, you go to the treadmill where there's space in between you."

She says that her "worst nightmare" is going Christmas shopping because "it seemed like in crowded situations like that, people would just completely violate your personal space."

Carrie has pretty much gotten her panic attacks under control, except when it comes to small spaces, like elevators. She said a recent experience sent her into a bit of a meltdown. "Every floor we stopped on, we'd cram more people in, and by the time we were done, there was just a ton of people. So I start thinking about all the bad things that can happen, and I'm like, 'I've got to get off the elevator, I need to get off the elevator.' I was just like, 'No more stops, please, no more stops!'"

Carrie continues her Play On tour on September 25th in Portland, Oregon.

She plays the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, Illinois on Sunday (August 29th).

Joyful Noise will begin production in January.

Rascal Flatts' latest hit, "Why Wait," is the fans' first listen to the trio's new music from their upcoming Nothing Like This CD. The project marks the group's 10-year anniversary, and as Jay DeMarcus tells us, "Why Wait" was a chance for the group to experiment with a new sound. "I think that right when we heard 'Why Wait' that it instantly caught my attention as we were listening down through literally hundreds of songs on our comp CDs we were listenin' through, I kept goin' back to that one because it was such a unique melody and such a unique feel for us. It's actually a shuffle, and we've never recorded a shuffle before, and I think that when I heard that chorus kick in it kept getting my attention every time I would listen down through those comps."

Jay said the decision to include the song on the new album became more of a "no-brainer" after they put their vocals to it. "When we went into the studio and we started cuttin' it, we knew instantly. I think it was the first song we cut out in Santa Barbara, wasn't it? I think we knew instantly that it was something special for us and it was gonna be a showcase piece on the album. (We) didn't know that it was gonna be the first single by any means, but as we listened back through to some of the songs as we started gettin' the vocals on them it just rose above the rest."

The Nothing Like This CD will be in stores on November 14th.

Rascal Flatts continues on their Nothing Like This tour on Friday (August 27th) in St. Louis with special guests Chris Young and Kellie Pickler.
