So I was moving on Friday night and Maura was doing whatever it is she does during the baseball off-season and apparently the Idolator TiVo doesn't pick up CMT and so we missed the premier of Gone Country, the reality TV contest where the Rich half of Nashville duo Big & Rich tries to groom the likes of Dee Snider and Carnie Wilson to become America's Next Passable Country Singer. Thankfully, this MTV interview with Gone Country contestant Bobby Brown makes it sound like we can at least still look forward to the episode where Brown's overactive bladder lands Marcia Brady on her ass. Actually re-reading this we're not so sure why we're sorry.

Also in the house: Carnie Wilson, Dee Snider, Diana DeGarmo, Maureen McCormick, Sisqo, and Julio Iglesias ... Junior. I'd make a joke about Willie Nelson showing up and helping Junior with a rousing rendition of "To All The Girls I've Loved Before '08," but that's probably happening as I type this, so why don't we just sit back and enjoy some more Don't Be Cruel-era Bobby instead? Bonus clip after the jump.

Latest by Vince Neilstein: That Bobby Brown video was amazing. It begs the question... why hasn't that late '80s / early '90s style of r&b made a comeback yet? Surely there's an ironic hipster out there who listened to Boyz II Men's "Motownphilly" growing more »
