Kings of Leon bassist Jared Followill has swooped himself up a proper castle in his home state of Tennessee for $1.8 million. The 7,411-square-foot, five-bedroom, five-and-two-half-bath home is brand spankin' new, located just south of downtown Nashville.

In western North Carolina local governments have been forced to cancel programs, since there's not much gas to travel to Read more

Tennessee's Republican Party has put out a four minute video loop of infamous comments made by Barack Obama's wife. In February Michelle Obama said: "For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country" — controversial comments she later clarified. Yesterday on Good Morning America, Barack Obama responded to the new video. The GOP, should I be the nominee, can say whatever they Read more
