Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert Would Hook up for the First Time Since Divorce

Luckily, these two seem to be amicable exes.
The Country Music Association announced on Oct. 19, 2015 that Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt, and Blake Shelton will all be performing at the upcoming CMA Awards, joining previously announced performers including Kelsea Ballerini, Miranda Lambert, Maddie & Tae, Kacey Musgraves, Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood.

The 49th Annual CMA Awards air live on Nov. 4 from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville at 8 p.m. ET on the ABC Television Network will also mark Shelton and Lambert's first joint public appearance since the two announced their divorce after four years of marriage in late July. Blake is nominated for two CMA Awards, including Male Vocalist of the Year, while Miranda is nominated for four, including Entertainer of the Year.

"This is not the future we envisioned and it is with heavy hearts that we move forward separately," the duo said in a statement at the time. "We are real people, with real lives, with real families, friends and colleagues. Therefore, we kindly ask for privacy and compassion concerning this very personal matter."
Since the split, the 39-year-old Voice coach and the 31-year-old "Little Red Wagon" beauty seem to be moving on with their lives.
"I'm in a good place," he said in an interview on CMT Hot 20 Countdown earlier this month. "I wasn't but I am now. It's amazing how quickly life can turn around for you. I've had some pretty cool things in recent times that've happened and I'm loving it."

Likewise, a source told E! News in September that Lambert is enjoying the single life and using her music as therapy.
The insider revealed that the Grammy-winner plans to take some time before jumping into a new relationship, but she's hopeful she will find love again, adding that Miranda simply wants the best for Blake.
Earlier today, Shelton tweeted, "Sometimes life is completely unfair and makes absolutely no sense... Thank God," although he failed to elaborate.

Chris Rock to Host the 2016 Academy Awards?

The 2016 Academy Awards which is scheduled to be held on Feb. 28,2016 and is being produced by Reginald Hudlin and David Hill.

According to Variety, Chris Rock is currently in talks to host Hollywood's biggest night of the year and an announcement is expected to be made shortly. Rock is no stranger to Hollywood’s biggest event of the year, having previously hosted the Oscars in 2005. The veteran comedian has also worked with new Oscar co-producer Reginald Hudlin, who directed the pilot of Rock’s popular but now defunct TV series “Everybody Hates Chris.”

While the comedian's rep has yet to comment on the growing speculation, The Hollywood Reporter is also reporting that Rock is in discussions with producers.
At this time, the Academy spokesperson is not commenting on the hosting rumors.

Should the news be true, this wouldn't be the first time that Rock has worked with Hudlin as the two previously joined forces on the 2005 sitcom Everybody Hates Chris.
Of course, this wouldn't be the first time that Rock helmed the Academy Awards either.
The actor hosted the prestigious awards show back in 2005 and sparked plenty of controversy after poked fun at several actors' talents, including Tobey Maguire, Colin Farrell and Jude Law—which, you may recall, caused Sean Penn to rush to Law's defense later on in the evening.

Neil Patrick Harris, who hosted the 2015 Oscars, opened up about the possibility of taking on the task once again in an interview with Huffington Post just months after the show aired.
"I don't know that my family nor my soul could take it," he explained. "It's a beast."
He added, "It was fun to check off the list, but for the amount of time spent and the understandable opinionated response, I don't know that it's a delightful balance to do every year or even again."
Hmm, well with that said, it's only a matter of time before we see just who takes the stage as the evening's host!
