Wynonna Judd and Cactus Moser: Married!


Wynonna Judd has gotten married again. She and drummer Cactus Moser tied the knot back on June 10 at her farm in Leiper's Fork, Tenn.

"I felt a joy that hasn't been there before," Wynonna told Us Weekly.

This is the third walk down the aisle for the 48-year-old, who did it this time while barefoot, and wearing a Houri Barahimi dress, at sunset.

Sister Ashley Judd and mom Naomi Judd couldn't make it, but her two kids from her marriage to businessman Arch Kelley III were there.

Moser initially popped the question last Christmas Eve.

Congrats to the happy, newly-married couple!

Justin Bieber MTV Special Will Be A 'TRL' Throwback!

If you're wondering what to expect from Tuesday night's (June 19) MTV special, "Bieber Live," you need only think back to the days of "Total Request Live."

Justin Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, has fond memories of the biggest stars visiting "TRL" to promote their latest record or movie back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and he wanted to capture some of that flavor tonight's show, airing at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. Bieber is set to sit down with host Sway Calloway and some of his most devoted Beliebers as they celebrate the release of his brand-new album, Believe.

And if Bieber talking about his latest LP isn't enough, know that he'll also be performing! Braun is keeping the details about the special top secret, but did have a little tease for fans.

"So, he's gonna come in, he's gonna do 'Boyfriend' and he's probably gonna do something broken-down acoustic — a new version of one of the songs — and we have some surprises," Scooter told us. "And we're gonna have some fun. We want to bring it back to the old 'TRL' [days].

When we caught up with him last Friday, Braun also opened up about the conversations he had with Bieber as the teen star began recording tracks for his highly anticipated release. He noted that the album's sound reflects more than just a transition: It shows the 18-year-old's evolution.

"I think a lot of times with big superstars they don't always deliver on that big album," he said. "They don't meet the expectation ... sometimes it's because they're [already] superstars. Maybe they think they know it all and they don't want to listen to anyone else's input, and sometimes that works and sometimes that doesn't.

"He's growing and so is his music," Braun later added. "And I don't think he's transitioning and losing any fans. I think he's just growing. We always study Michael Jackson, and the thing I loved about his career is he never lost that 2-year-old that bounced to his music. But at the same time, you'd go to a club and there were adults bouncing also. And I think that's what we want to do with Justin."

Don't miss "Bieber Live" tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on MTV!

Switched On: Going Thermonuclear

Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about consumer technology.

DNP Switched On Going Thermonuclear

At the debut of the T-Mobile G1, Switched On identified the central conflict that would quickly tear apart the goodwill between Apple and Google. In fact, in Steve Jobs' authorized biography, Walter Isaacson quotes the late Apple CEO on Android, noting that the he was prepared to "go thermonuclear war" on the iOS competitor. Indeed, the first WWDC since Jobs' death was filled with enough anti-Google swipes to smudge every iPhone screen in Moscone West. But the verbal lashings were nothing compared to the beating back that Google and Android took in relation to iOS 6 feature announcements.

Rangers rout Astros

By STEPHEN HAWKINS

AP Sports Writer

Associated Press Sports

updated 11:08 p.m. ET June 16, 2012

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Justin Grimm kept telling himself to go out and just make pitches in his major league debut for the Texas Rangers.

Even though he had never pitched above the Double-A level, the right-hander kept the mindset that it was just a game with a better defense and offense on his side. Particularly with those Rangers bats.

Nelson Cruz hit a towering three-run homer the pitch after Adrian Beltre's two-run single and the Rangers went on to an 8-3 victory over the Houston Astros on Saturday night.

"I'm more than certain he was dealing with a lot of butterflies that first inning, but he settled down," manager Ron Washington said. "He didn't lose his poise, executed his pitches. That's really the gist of what he did."

After giving up a two-out solo homer to Jed Lowrie in the first, Grimm struck out five consecutive batters.

Though the 23-year-old Grimm had joined the Rangers two days earlier, his contract was purchased from Double-A Frisco before the game. It didn't take long for him to settle in on the mound.

"Probably after that first inning. That was the hardest inning I've thrown in my whole career," Grimm said. "The first couple of pitches, I couldn't tell you where they were going in the zone. ... I just told myself to go out there and make the same pitches."

Rookie Lucas Harrell (6-5) held Texas scoreless until those consecutive one-out pitches in the sixth, right after a botched rundown loaded the bases instead of getting out the lead runner.

Grimm allowed six hits and three runs over six innings. The fifth-round draft pick from two years ago struck out seven without a walk.

"He threw well. He was aggressive and he was around the zone, especially for a kid making his debut," Astros first baseman Brett Wallace said. "Usually they have some nerves. But he got out of jams."

Still, when Grimm threw the last of his 88 pitches, he walked off the mound trailing 3-0.

Craig Gentry and Ian Kinsler had consecutive singles to start the bottom of the sixth. They advanced on a sacrifice bunt by Elvis Andrus before a big defensive miscue.

Harrell snagged Michael Young's comebacker and had Gentry caught up between third base and home. After the throw to Chris Johnson pursing the runner, the third baseman's toss to catcher Chris Snyder was dropped and allowed Gentry to safely scamper back to third.

"I thought Luke did a good job getting the ball back. Chris Johnson gave the ball up because the guy was more than halfway home," manager Brad Mills said. "When you're having a tough time getting some runs, there's not much margin for error."

Beltre followed by grounding a single through the left side of the infield to cut the deficit to 3-2. Cruz then hit his ninth homer, a 431-foot shot that landed deep in the Astros bullpen in left-center field.

"It was an awesome experience," Grimm said. "I threw my hands in the air and screamed."

Grimm was pitching in place of Alexi Ogando, who will be out four to six weeks after he strained his right groin running out a bunt single in San Francisco last Sunday. Ogando had thrown three perfect innings in his first start of the season while filling in for Derek Holland, who was already on the disabled list with shoulder fatigue.

With an off day Thursday, the Rangers haven't said what they will do when that spot in the rotation comes up again at the end of next week. They could skip the spot, have Grimm make another start or three-time All-Star Roy Oswalt - scheduled to make his fourth minor league start Sunday since signing with Texas last month - could be ready to join the Rangers by then.

"We haven't had a chance to make that decision yet," Washington said. "(Grimm) did what he had to do, kept us in the ball game. ... Because he performed, he's in consideration."

Harrell allowed five runs and seven hits over 5 1-3 innings. He had won his previous two starts, games the Astros won 9-8 and 11-9.

Texas clinched the Silver Boot Trophy for the sixth year in a row, having won four of five games this season before the series finale between the Lone Star State rivals Sunday afternoon. They will be division rivals next year when the Astros switch from the National League Central to the American League West.

Houston led 3-0 in the fifth after Brian Bogusevic had a leadoff double and scored on Justin Maxwell's double before Jordan Schafer's RBI single. Lowrie's 13 homers are the most among major league shortstops.

Before their outburst in the sixth, the second night in the row the Rangers had a five-run inning against Houston, only one runner had even reached second base against Harrell.

NOTES: LHP Dallas Keuchel will make his major league debut Sunday for the Astros. They will have to make a roster move before Sunday's game to add Keuchel, who starts in place of RHP Bud Norris (sprained left knee). ... The Astros said after the game that 1B Carlos Lee (strained left hamstring) will be reinstated from the DL on Sunday. Wallace will be sent down to Triple-A Oklahoma City. ... Young matched the Rangers' career record with his 66th sacrifice fly in the seventh.
