Tim McGraw has some harsh words for divisive political rhetoric and the Jan. 6 attack on the United States Capitol — and he doesn't want to waste words on former President Donald Trump at all. "I'm not going to give him any air," McGraw replied with a chuckle, when asked for his thoughts on the former president during a TIME Person of the Week podcast interview.

For the second year in a row, my partner John and I attended the Country Music Association (CMA) Music Fest in Nashville, TN in early June. As a side note, if you ever get the opportunity – GO!

Yes, Britney's messed up her career, her marriage, motherhood, etc. But when Dr. Phil McGraw showed up at her hospital to help her "get real" with her "issues" - supposedly with her family's blessing - there's one thing that happened to Britney Spears that took the meaning of "wrongness" to a whole new level. "He's crossed the line," mental health pros wailed after he appeared before Britney (reportedly on the invitation Lynne Spears, Brit's mom) and then turned the private meeting into very public plea to "treat" the troubled star on a special...

Bill Clinton was feted Saturday night with performances from a dazzling array of film, comedic and musical superstars in a tribute befitting, well, a former U.S. president...While Saturday night's birthday party, also attended by Clinton's wife Hillary and their daughter Chelsea, amounted to a thinly veiled fundraiser, it's unlikely Toronto will see its equal for some time.

Brent Benjamin booted Justice Warren McGraw off the state Supreme Court Tuesday. With 1,616 of 1,965 precincts reporting, he outpolled the incumbent Democrat with 307,165 votes to 279,103.

Benjamin rode to victory on the crest of an unprecedented wave of negative ads financed largely by Massey Energy Chief Executive Officer Don Blankenship.
