Rascal Flatts' Joe Don Rooney said in a recent interview that he would like 20 babies! He comes from a large family, so it's what he's used to. Plus, shit, if ya got the money, why not?! Okay maybe he wasn't totally serious, but I think it's a safe bet they'll have at least one more. He didn't mention any snip-snipping.
Hear the interview with Joe Don Duggar below.
For the last year (yes, this video was a year in the making), our friend Broadway has been asking everyone he interviews what turned out to be a surprisingly tough question ... is country music ready for an openly gay country star and whether the genre is homophobic in general? Some of the answers he got may surprise you.
With Ty Herndon and Billy Gilman both coming out last week, the video's release is definitely timely.
Some stars stuttered, some stars made jokes (Big Kenny from Big & Rich says he's gay in the happy sense of the word), some stars became downright uncomfortable with the question, while others were more than happy to answer.
Check out stars such as Trisha Yearwood, Kip Moore, Big Kenny, Danielle Bradbery, Rascal Flatts, Lady Antebellum, Cole Swindell, and many more discussing their thoughts on what ended up being a pretty tough question.
Rascal Flatts' lead singer, Gary LeVox, chatted with Broadway on Monday shortly after it was revealed that the trio would be heading to Vegas next year for a nine-show residency at The Joint - and boy did the singer have a lot to say.
LeVox revealed that he's currently in Missouri hunting and was really, really happy for the break from the wind and the cold to do the interview. He also broke the news that Scotty McCreery will be opening for Rascal Flatts' tour next year.
Gary also talked about why he thought so many young singers have been undergoing vocal surgery lately, whether his two daughters will be following in his singing footsteps, and which song is currently driving him insane.
Check it all out below.
Taking a page out of Shania Twain, Tim and Faith, and Garth's books, Rascal Flatts is heading to Vegas.
It's been announced that the trio will be heading to The Joint inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas next year for a short residency with nine shows taking place between Wednesday, February 25, 2015 and Saturday, March, 14, 2015.
This will not only be the first Vegas residency for the most-awarded country music group of the past decade, but will also be the first country music residency for the Vegas hotspot.

With all the talk of Jason Aldean and Taylor Swift pulling their music from online streaming service Spotify, it's only natural to ask other artists what they think.
Rascal Flatts held out for a while before putting their album "Rewind" on the service, but did eventually give in and start streaming it. Broadway asked Rascal Flatts' Joe Don Rooney whether Flatts might remove their music in the future from the site. His answer may surprise you.
"Spotify is one of those things for us it's been a pretty good mechanism to have people listen to our older stuff and then also the newer stuff," he said.

"We're just at a place where right now we're not moving or anything right now, we're just kind of staying where we're at."
Despite seeming to be on Spotify's side, the singer says he understands the other side of the argument and thinks that the better experience for fans is to actually buy the whole album. Check out JDR arguing both sides of the topic below.

Congratulations to Rascal Flatts' guitarist Joe Don Rooney whose wife Tiffany apparently gave birth to the couple's third child on Monday, September 29.
Country Music Tattle Tale were the first to report the news this morning.
Last night, Rascal Flatts performed at the Grand Ole Opry, but one of the fellas was sporting a special accessory. Joe Don Rooney performed wearing a white hospital bracelet. It turns out, he literally drove to the Opry from the hospital where is wife, Tiffany Fallon gave birth to their third child on Monday evening in Nashville.
Joe Don confirmed the news of the pregnancy to People.com last March, telling the mag: “Jagger and Rocky are very excited too. They’re going to make a great ‘big brother-big sister duo’ as the Rooney circus continues.”
Later, JDR revealed to Country Weekly that the couple were expecting a second daughter.
“We haven’t named her yet, but we’re just very excited. I’m just excited to have my wife back, bless her heart. She doesn’t do prego real well. She’s been really sick with this one. She’s starting to feel a little better; she’s just in that uncomfortable stage now. But we're really excited. Our schedule is so crazy. I have like literally a window of time from September 22 through September 26 off, so we’re hoping [her birth] falls in that window. No pressure, Tiff!”
Congrats again to the happy family.
Update: Rooney's rep confirmed the news to People.com.
Born at 7:01 p.m. and weighing in at 6 lbs., 11 oz., daughter Devon Olivia joins siblings Raquel Blue, 4, and Jagger Donovan, 6.
“We are so thrilled to finally become a party of five,” the proud new parents tell PEOPLE. “Jagger and Raquel are so happy to be her big brother & big sister.”
Rascal Flatts member and avid golfer Joe Don Rooney and his guitar playing is the inspiration for a men's clothing line with golf apparel company Sligo Wear.
Joe Don's line is called the Jagger men's line, which is named for Joe Don's son Jagger. Now Jagger is also getting in on the golf wear game and is the inspiration for the new Sligo Wear Jagger Boys’ Collection, which matches the 2014 Jagger men’s line.
Now golfers from ages six to 12 can look cool like Jagger while helping other kids. Sligo Wear will donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each item in the Jagger line for boys to the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. The same goes for all Jagger Boys’ Collection sales on fairwaystyles.com.
The Jagger's Boys' Collection will also feature Jagger's signature.
“I asked J.D. to have Jagger scribble some lines and take a picture of them with his iPhone,” Shawn Aucoin, director at Sligo Wear, explained. “I redrew them digitally and used them to intersect the guitar ‘strings’ in the design. I wanted more out of Jagger, though. So, after multiple tries and many pictures, Jagger scribbled his name on a few sheets of paper. After a bit of resizing and aligning, his signature was born. Jagger not only had influence in the design, he signed it like a canvas.”
What a cool father/son project for Joe Don and Jagger. Fans can purchase the Jagger Men's and Boys' lines at golf shops, boutiques, and golf retail locations around the world or by visiting Sligowear.com.
