Reba gets a weather scare, LeAnn Rimes shacks up, and Aaron Tippin makes an entrance. 

NEWS:

When the video for "Turn on the Radio" is finished, take a close look and see if Reba McEntire has any fear on her face. The video was shot Monday in an old warehouse in Nashville.  Outside there was a driving rainstorm.  Right after the dinner break, the shoot was stopped because of lightning.  Then, everyone ran down to a basement when they heard that a tornado had touched down and was spinning toward where they were shooting. The storm eventually passed, and no one was hurt.

LeAnn Rimes is getting some roommates: Eddie Cibrian and his two little boys. People.com reports Cibrian's lease
is up so he's moving in with LeAnn.  She lives nearby in the western San Fernando Valley section of Los Angeles.  That way, Cibrian's older boy, who's 7, can stay in the same school.  Cibrian shares custody with his soon-to-be ex-wife.  LeAnn's spokesperson says the two are "excited for this happy new journey" in their relationship.  LeAnn's new album, called "Lady and Gentlemen," comes out October 5.

Aaron Tippin and a classic airplane are going on tour.  It's called the Red, White and Loud Tour.  Tippin says he'll be celebrating Americas freedom through song.  He'll arrive at each venue in a Boeing B-29 Superfortress.  First
stop is Denver at the Colorado Sport International Air Show on August 28.  He'll be a passenger at that point.  But, he's already is a pilot and when he gets qualified for this plane, he'll be the co-pilot.  Then, he'll help fly the bomber to every performance.
