October 28, 2008
Sugarland and their label recently put together a humorous video aimed at persuading Country Music Awards voters to choose Sugarland as the winner for the multiple categories they were selected in. The video is put together like a movie trailer and is downright hilarious. Check it out here http://www.hififusion.com/email/sugarland/cma2008/3/
I also stumbled upon this pretty cool page on the CMT site that lets you dress up Jennifer and Kristian in different zany outfits before sending them out to the red carpets. Its pretty humorous so check it out here http://www.cmt.com/cma-awards/sugarland-game.jhtml

Sugarland fights to stop bullying
October 6, 2008
Sugarland has joined a group of some of the worlds biggest stars that have committed to support Love Our Children, a nonprofit organization that aims to eliminate behaviors that keep children from reaching their potential. As a show of support for the organization, Sugarland is auctioning off 2 VIP tickets to the Nov. 7 Sugarland concert in Kissimme, Florida. To place a bid visit Charity Folks and search for Sugarland. If you don’t win the auction, there are still plenty of Sugarland tickets still available. Visit the site for more information on the Sugarland tour and Sugarland tickets.
The First Annual Celebrity Auction is taking place now and runs through October 20. Proceeds from the auction will go towards bullying and cyberbullying prevention, education and peer mentoring in schools. Other celebrities that have joined the effort include John Cusack, Elton John, Bette Midler, Dancing with the Stars, Ellen Degeneres and more. As part of the effort to stomp out bullying, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg recently proclaimed October 5 – 11 as “Love Our Children USA’s Bullying Prevention Awareness Week.”
The organization takes child bulling quite seriously. According to the Love Our Children website, “Every year over 3 million children are victims of violence and almost 1.8 million are abducted. Nearly 600,000 children live in foster care. Every day 1 out of 7 kids and teens are approached online by predators and 1 out of 4 kids are bullied.” The group has come up with a solution to the problem: prevention. “Getting to the root of the cause through education and changing behaviors and attitudes. Loving and nurturing children. Stopping Violence BEFORE it starts — creating happy and healthy children … Keeping Children Safe.”

Sugarland to perform at the Country Music Awards
October 2, 2008
Sugarland will be one of the featured performers during the 42nd annual CMA awards taking place on Nov. 12. All you Sugarland fans get your VCRs, err Tivos ready because I am sure it will be a great performance. Sugarland is up for five awards, including Entertainer of the Year and Best Vocal Duo. Jennifer was also nominated for writing “Stay.” Its a safe bet that Sugarland will be out to dazzle, so it should be a great performance for everyone watching at home or those lucky enough to see the real deal. You can still find tickets to the show, and I think that this is the best site for CMA tickets.
“The CMA Awards shine a three-hour spotlight on Country Music, exposing our artists and their music to the world” said Tammy Genovese, CMA Chief Executive Officer. “This first group of performers continues to raise the bar not only for Country Music, but for all forms of entertainment. We are excited to showcase their amazing talents on the CMA Awards this year.”
Other performers include Taylor Swift, Brooks and Dunn, Keith Urban and Kenny Chesney. The CMAs air on Wednesday, November 12 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
