Tim McGraw and... Jimmy Fallon?

Turns out, with the Golden Globes canceled, the Polo Lounge was the place to be on Sunday night, as long as you're a fan of off-key singing and empty bars. Newlywed and former Saturday Night Live star Jimmy Fallon was joined by country music mega-star Tim McGraw in an impromptu, late-night, sing-a-long at the Beverly Hills Hotel bar.

They took over the mostly empty lounge around 1 a.m., and, with a female friend pounding away on the piano, the pair sang their way through such standards as, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," and Willie Nelson's "Always On My Mind." The only audience was a booth of four women, but McGraw and Fallon, standing on opposite sides of the piano, belted out lyrics and laughter flooded into the hotel lobby. When asked about the noise by a curious hotel patron, the desk clerk apologized and said, "Jimmy Fallon and Tim McGraw singing together ... Only at the Beverly Hills Hilton."

Big... Rich... And COLD

Big & Rich got a cold reception in Canada last week — not from fans, but from the winter weather north of the border. The duo had four trucks travelling in a convoy from Prince George to Vancouver on Thursday when one of the semis went out of control on a patch of black ice. The truck fishtailed a bit, then ended up on its side in the ditch.

No one was hurt, and none of the stage and lighting equipment was damaged. Big & Rich still got to the venue and held their scheduled concert the next night.

The accident is being blamed on the weather — and most certainly not on the two singers. As their publicist told The Tennessean, "Neither Big Kenny nor John Rich were driving the truck."

The tour of the Great White North continues for the next week. Tonight, Big & Rich, Terri Clark and Cowboy Troy are at Rexall Place in Edmonton.

Taylor -- At the head of her class

A+!!!

When Taylor Swift won the Country Music Association's Horizon Award in November, she said the moment was "definitely the highlight of my senior year!" Taylor, who recently turned 18, certainly appreciates her position. Many of her peers haven't yet picked a career, and she's already winning awards in her industry.

"All my friends here in Tennessee are getting ready to go off to college next year," she tells The Toronto Star. "I feel like I've already gone to college, as far as being away from home, having to learn how to survive, having to learn so many different things about the industry."

Clearly she's earning high marks in her vocational education. She's currently nominated for a Grammy award for Best New Artist against such acts as Feist and Amy Winehouse. In addition, look for her on TV this week. She appears tomorrow on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Wednesday on Ellen.

Josh Gracin to the movies!!!

Josh Gracin has evolved from an American Idol contestant to a successful recording artist, and now the ex-Marine — who was formerly stationed at Camp Pendleton in Southern California — has another entertainment medium in his sites. He's been spending his spare time on the tour bus writing a screenplay.

Josh is the first to admit his script may never make it into circulation, but he says it's helped to stimulate his creativity.

"It's turning out really, really cool," he tells Dial-Global. "I've let some of my guys on the bus read it, and what surprises me is that they actually wanna know when I have more done, which means that I'm doin' the right thing."

Josh is keeping the plot a secret while he continues writing.

Trace Adkins Survives Second Week On Celebrity Apprentice

Trace Adkins has survived the first two rounds of tasks on Donald Trump's "The Celebrity Apprentice" and is now headed into week three.

On last night's (1/10) episode, the celebrities were given a TV production crew, a cast of actors and several dogs to create an advertisement promoting Pedigree's Pet Adoption program. Adkins' contribution included writing the script and providing his deep speaking voice for the commercial created by the men's team. Hydra project manager Gene Simmons said that when he heard Adkins' voiceover "it sounded like the voice of God."

"The Donald" also stated that using Adkins' voice was "genius" and was one of the keys to the men dominating the competition once again and winning the challenge. Olympic Gold Medalist Nadia Comaneci became the second celebrity to feel the heat in Trump's boardroom and was fired from the women's team.

George is no stick in the mud!

Or a stick not in the mud.

Kenny Chesney, whose "Shiftwork" duet with George Strait is No.14 on the charts this week, says the famously serious George is no stick in the mud.

"George is dignified, but he's a guy that likes to have a lot of fun,' Kenny tells Dial-Global of his musical hero. "We have a lot of things in common on that end. If I'd ever thought that I was going to do a duet with George Strait, it probably would've been on some song like 'Nobody In His Right Mind Would've Left Her.' And I never did think it would be 'a big ol' pile of shift work.' But I'm glad it is!"

The King Of Country playfully sings that naughty little hook on the "Shiftwork" single. Meanwhile, George is on tour, playing Oklahoma City tonight and North Little Rock, Arkansas, Saturday night. Kenny's "Don't Blink" remains in the Top 10 on the charts.
