Rascall Flatts

Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood… add one more country name to the list of potential ‘American Idol’ judges. Rascal Flatts bassist Jay DeMarcus believes he’d be a good fit to fill Steven Tyler‘s empty chair when the show begins next year.

Rascal Flatts want to expand their rock solid brand with good eats. The power trio is planning to open a chain of restaurants this year, following in the footsteps of fellow country acts like Kenny Rogers and Toby Keith, who have successfully owned and operated eateries through the years.
