Country Closeup Random Stuff: Blake and Miranda

Meanwhile…

Radar Online claims MIRANDA LAMBERT and BLAKE SHELTON got into a fight at the Grammys that started when she didn’t mention him in her acceptance speech, and escalated when he hugged some woman after the show.

To prove their point they posted photos of the “heated altercation.”  Granted, some of the pics look like they COULD have been taken mid-argument, but it’s more likely that they were simply in the middle of a sentence, which can make anyone look angry.

As far as the hug, that looks completely benign.  I mean, the whole night is a hug-fest.  You can check out the photos at RadarOnline.com and decide for yourself . . . but I’m pretty sure you’ll agree that it’s much ado about nothing.
