Gretchen Wilson parts with longtime record label

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Redneck Woman Gretchen Wilson and her longtime record label, Sony Music Nashville, have parted.

Sony announced the split Tuesday, describing it as a mutual decision.

Wilson shot to fame with her 2004 smash Redneck Woman.

Her debut album, Here For the Party, sold five million copies. Her next two albums for Sony - 2005's All Jacked Up and 2007's One of the Boys - reached No. 1 but didn't sell nearly as well as her debut and produced only one Top 10 single between them.

Sony says in a statement that while Wilson will no longer record for the label as a solo artist, both parties look forward to working together on catalogue projects.

Homer and Marge join a curling team as The Simpsons pay homage to the sport

CALGARY - The Fox Broadcasting Company hopes an upcoming episode of The Simpsons will sweep in some good ratings prior to the 2010 Olympic games in Vancouver.

The episode to be broadcast in February features Homer and Marge joining a mixed curling team to play one of Canada's favourite sports. Co-executive producer Rob LaZebnik, who spearheaded the curling research and wrote the script, says he originally was going to have Homer joint a four-person bobsled team.

But he says curling provides a chance for more laughs because it will show Homer and Marge interacting on the ice.
