Dixie Chicks lead singer, Natalie Maines has done it again. Yep, the country star caused some drama on her Twitter following the 2012 Grammys on Sunday after insulting country star Jason Aldean.

She created an uproar by commenting, “The Dixie Chicks are ashamed the president is from Texas,” directed towards George W. Bush Jr. in 2003 at a London concert, you would think Maines learned her lesson.

Maines reportedly tweeted, “The good thing about his mic going out is that the song got a lot more in tune.”

During Aldean’s Grammy performance with musical artist Kelly Clarkson performing their hit single, “Don’t You Wanna Stay?” Aldean’s mic cut out towards the end of the song.

This harsh comment lead to a bad response from Maines’ Twitter followers and resulted in some firing back.

One fan posted “Country music star Jason Aldean was singing with Kelly and your tweet was just plain mean – and incorrect.”

Maines later admitted on her account that she in fact did not even know who Aldean was.

“I don’t know him. I just know this wasn’t a good night for him. It happens,” Maines tweeted in response.

Aldean is not the first country star that Maines has taken a stab at either.

Back in 2002 Maines verbally insulted Toby Keith’s country hit, “Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue.”

Maines attacked the song saying she hated it, that it was ignorant and made country music sound ignorant.

“You’ve got to have some tact. Anybody can write, ‘We’ll put a boot in your ass’ …” said Maines.

Keith responded just as fired up with the response of, “I’ll bury her. She has never written anything that has been a hit…”

Keith ended the feud in August of 2003.

It seems as though Maines is better off staying out of the lime light and keeping her thoughts to herself.

Country star Miranda Lambert tweeted some opinions about some of the acts at the 2012 Grammys on Sunday. Some of her victims included Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj.

Lambert initially posted some positive thoughts regarding the success of multiple country stars winning Grammys that evening, including Lady Antebellum and Taylor Swift.

“Just got to watch some of the Grammy’s,” tweeted Lambert. “Love how much country music was represented. Makes me proud!”

However, it wasn’t long until Lambert’s tweets began to hum a different tune.

“How dang long did they give Nicki Minaj to do whatever that was? Strange. And Chris Brown twice? I don’t get it. He beat on a girl …” posted Lambert.

It was not long before Lambert added that it was not “cool” how people are just acting like that didn’t happen. She also referred that Brown should listen to one of her hit songs “Gunpowder and Lead” and should be put back in his place.”

In this hit song it tells about a wife planning revenge on her abusive husband whom is on his way home from jail.

Soon after these less than thrilled tweets, Lambert had a change of heart.

“As for my tweets ‘it’s just one clowns opinion.’ I love music and that’s what it’s all about. Speaking of … watch @NBCTheVoice tonight!” tweeted Lambert.

It seems as though a few stars got their feathers rubbed the wrong way at this year’s Grammys, but in the end we all have our own opinions.

After calling the local police office for roadside assistance, a fugitive has landed himself back behind bars.

On Feb. 14, the Wyoming Highway Patrol said that Richard Vincent of Prineville, Ore., called the police after he ran out of gas in Wyoming.

The 59-year-old fugitive was wanted in Georgia for violating his parole on a murder and escape conviction.

The Unita County Sheriff’s Office sent state troopers to help Vincent out and when they learned he had an outstanding felony warrant from Atlanta, he was arrested.  He currently is being held for Georgia authorities.

A museum in Zagreb, Croatia sees its visitor rate double on Valentine’s Day.

That’s because the Museum of Broken Relationships displays testimonies of heartbreak, passion, and romance.

Some such mementos, which are collected from all over the globe, are such things like a garden gnome that was hurled at a car in anger after a breakup, a wedding dress from a marriage that ended in divorce, and an ax that smashed furniture.

Most of the mementos are really random and each item comes with the dates and location of the relationship it represents.  There’s also a note by their anonymous donors which discuss what the object represents to them.

The museum currently houses around 100 out of the 1,000 that have been collected.  It is also located right across from Zagreb’s City Hall where many couples are married.
