Brittany Aldean Recounts Route 91 Shooting In Las Vegas

(Radio.com) Brittany Aldean, the wife of country star Jason Aldean, has shared a chilling recollection of the moments shots rang out while her husband was performing at the Route 91 festival in Vegas last weekend.

"It's hard to process what happened the other night�still feel like I'm in a daze," she wrote. "When the gunfire started, I was not with Jason, but with some friends in a tent closer to Mandalay Bay. As you can imagine my first instinct was to run to him and his was the same. As we laid behind equipment onstage with some of our road family, bullets flying past� all I could think was 'I never even got to hold my baby,' she continued. Brittany is currently pregnant with the couple's first child.

Mrs. Aldean goes on to recount the hours of fear and uncertainty after running for cover. "We were the lucky ones," she said. "I can't put into words the pain and heartache we feel for the ones who are no longer with us. May God be with their families and friends during this horrendous time. Each and every one of you are and will forever be in our prayers." See her full post here.

Fifth Harmony's Security Accidentally Dragged Off Opening Act

(Radio.com) During a Fifth Harmony concert in Argentina, an overzealous security guard mistakenly booted Becky G--the band's opening act--when she attempted to join the four 5H ladies onstage.

Lauren Jauregui shared a video from the incident, in which Becky can be seen running onstage with some kind of scarf. She's quickly intercepted by a member of the security team who assumed she was a crazed fan. Better safe than sorry!

As a refresher, Becky G is a singer and actress whose hit "Shower" entered the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2014. She subsequently appeared as the Yellow Ranger in the Power Rangers reboot and has collaborated with Lil Jon, will.i.am and Jessie J. Her debut studio album is expected to drop this year, so get ready to know her name.

Becky and Fifth Harmony had a sense of humor about the mix-up on Twitter: "Now you know I'm your number one fan," Becky wrote. She added that the swift ejection hurt her arm but that the security pros were just doing their job. Watch the mistaken-identity farce (and Twitter aftermath) here.

Kesha Details Eating Disorder in Candid Interview

(Radio.com) Kesha's journey to release Rainbow in 2017 was dominated by headlines about her legal battle with producer Dr. Luke, whom she accused of assault and abuse. When the album debuted this summer, the singer's new sound was empowered and more authentic than ever. This month, Kesha covers Rolling Stone and gave a revealing interview about the struggles she's overcome to reach a healthy place.

"I have nothing to hide," she said. "The beautiful, the good, the bad, the ugly, all of it." Specifically, Kesha delved into the faulty thinking around her eating disorder.

"I really just thought I wasn't supposed to eat food," she said. "And then if I ever did, I felt very ashamed, and I would make myself throw up because I'd think, 'Oh, my God, I can't believe I actually did that horrible thing. I'm so ashamed of myself because I don't deserve to eat food."

As Kesha lost weight, she earned positive feedback from people in the industry who expected her to be a certain size. "I was slowly, slowly starving myself," she said. "And the worse I got and the sicker I got, the better a lot of people around me were saying that I looked. They would just be like, 'Oh, my gosh, keep doing whatever you're doing! You look so beautiful, so stunning.'" Read more here.
