Garth Brooks‘ run of shows at the Wynn Las Vegas may be over, but he plans to return to the resort’s Encore Theatre for a live TV event soon. According to the Las Vegas Sun, Wynn honcho Steve Wynn is in talks with Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese to helm Garth’s TV production.
Garth remains a little tentative when speaking about the live broadcast, saying, “It would be amazing if it works out with Scorsese. I’m not confirming or denying that.”
Garth will now begin planning a return to the road, and Steve Wynn hints that will kick off in August 2014. Wynn says that trek will take six months to put together, and Garth just wants to spend time at home with his youngest daughter before she heads off to college in 2014.

(AP) – Jason Aldean and his wife Jessica Ussery are doing “fine” after photographs of the singer looking very cozy with season-11 “American Idol” contestant Brittany Kerr were made public a little over a month ago. The married couple made an appearance on “CBS This Morning” yesterday. Sitting next to his wife of 11 years, Aldean said it was “tough” to go through but they’ve “been together for a long time and been through a lot of things together.” Ussery said she would love to hear stories from any couple that’s been married for 30, 40, 50 years. Aldean says “those are things that most people get to deal with in private,” but fame didn’t allow them what he calls “the luxury of doing that.”
