Reba McEntire has named her upcoming album, All the Women I Am, which will be released Nov. 9 by the Valory Music Co. The first single from the project is “Turn on the Radio.” Dann Huff produced the album. It’s her second release for the label, following Keep On Loving You in August 2009.

How do big stars help each other deal with challenges of life on the road?

Why, through Twitter, of course.

Yesterday (July 25), Martina McBride bemoaned: “My cell phone won’t change timezones so I’m pretty much constantly confused as to what time it is on this tour! Need a watch bad!”

Martina’s hero rides to the rescue!

“@martinamcbride I’ve had the same problem! I have to put the real time in ( ), that way it can ‘t confuse me!!! That’s not hard to do )” Reba McEntire responded.

Says Martina: “@reba I will have to figure out how to do that! Can’t wait to hear youre [sic] new stuff!!!!”

Reba: “@martinamcbride thanks a bunch!!!”

Who needs a phone anyway?

If you are heading to the Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, W.V., for the PGA event this week (July 26-Aug. 1), and you are a country fan, this is pretty much going to be the best week of your life. To kick off this inaugural golf tournament, native son Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts and Reba McEntire will be performing for attendees and participants at the new outdoor amphitheatre at the State Fair of West Virginia. (I think by “attendees,” they mean that you have to go to the tournament and you can’t just go to the concert. That said, you could go feign an interest in golf for a couple hours then head over to the show. Right?) The concert schedule has changed a little since it was first announced, so now Reba takes the stage on Wednesday (July 28), Rascal Flatts on Thursday (July 29) and the biggie is the double-headliner show on Saturday (July 31) with Paisley and Underwood. You get access to the concerts with your all-access weekly badge for just $147. The concerts are general admission, but still. That’s comes out to only about $37 a headliner, plus a bunch of golf, if you’re into that kind of thing.

Reba is recording her next album which should be out later this year hopefully. But the first single is called “Turn On The Radio”. It’s a summery catchy tune. I really love the song but I love anything Reba does! You can view the song in complete at kfrog.radio.com.

The rumors are true — Reba McEntire has been to New York City to check out the new Broadway version of ‘The Unsinkable Molly Brown.’

“The character Molly Brown is very interesting to me,” Reba said during a press conference at LP Field Friday night, before she performed at CMA Music Fest. “Molly Brown was a strong woman with a huge ambition. She wanted to find a man with money to marry, but in her travels she moved to Leadville, Colorado, where she met J.J. Brown and married him for love.”

Molly Brown is best know for her role on the Titanic when it was sinking, when she was instrumental in helping survivors onto lifeboats before the ship sank after hitting an iceberg. She was finally persuaded to get on Lifeboat No. 6, which she insisted return to the area of the ship in order to pick up other survivors. Molly Brown took on a leadership role once the survivors reached the ship that rescued them, the Carpathia, when she became a leader among the women who had been on board the Titanic.

Reba has been to New York City for a reading of the new script and hear some of the new music written for the proposed musical. “It’s very appealing to me,” she admits. “The production is a long way from being ready so we’ll have to wait and see what happens when it is finished.”

Reba is no stranger to the Broadway stage. She starred as Annie Oakley in ‘Annie Get Your Gun’ in 2001. She also took on the role of Nellie Forbush in the concert of ‘South Pacific’ that was held at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

‘The Unsinkable Molly Brown’ could be on Broadway as early as the 2011 season.

During the recent CMT Music Awards, comedian Keenan Thompson, who began impersonating Reba McEntire during Saturday Night Live skits, greeted the crowd in a green gown and a red wig before eventually bantering with the real Reba in a hilarious encounter.

Backstage during the CMA Music Fest, Reba told reporters she discovered Keenan’s comedic impersonations after being alerted via e-mail. “When I watched it, I didn’t like it at all,” she admitted. “I was very offended. Then I kept watching it, and [I realized] that he was making fun of himself. There were degrees of it that I wouldn’t let any of my kids watch, and there were parts of it that were really funny, and, of course, imitation is a form of flattery. It was all done in fun.”

Reba says that she did enjoy her time backstage with the comedian. “Keenan is a sweetheart of a guy,” she told reporters. “I really had a good time with him on the CMT Awards.”

Reba was on the cover of this week’s Country Weekly magazine. And she talks about Rebuilding Nashville after the floods that wreck the city earlier this month. She isn’t picture in the actual article but I quote her article below. But it also had something about the CMT Unplugged, her talking about doing If I Were A Boy.

Vince Gill and wife Amy Grant, who told an interviewer that their inspiration from Reba McEntire, who had donated 100,000 to the American Red Cross earlier in the month.

“I never know what’s the best thing to do when things like this happen so I let my heart guide me,” Reba said in an email sent to Country Weekly, “The Red Cross knows where the help is needed and how to get it to the people who need it the most.”
