Scotty McCreery: American Idol Star Takes Loaded Gun to Airport!
Isn’t it such a delight to see good ol’ Scotty McCreery in the news again?
As hard as it may be to believe, it’s been six years since Scotty won his season of American Idol with his super deep, super country voice.
Since then, he’s been big in the country music scene — really big, in certain circles.
And good for him, right?
But while Scotty has always been adorable, the circumstances of this new story about him aren’t exactly the best.
And that’s because the story is about how Scotty actually brought a loaded gun into an airport.
It’s more than a little shocking, because literally everyone has enough sense to know that this is a terrible, dangerous move, and those who do it anyway usually have the worst intentions.
But it seems like Scotty really just made an honest mistake.
On July 13th, he went to Raleigh-Durham International Airport, and while he was going through security, it was discovered that he was carrying a 9mm handgun and ammunition in his backpack.
He did have a permit to carry a concealed weapon, but still … what he did wasn’t exactly legal.
He was cited with a misdemeanor, the gun was taken, and he was allowed to board his flight.
So what happened?!
As Scotty explained in a statement to a local news station, “I have been a concealed carry permit holder for a while now after being robbed at gunpoint in 2014, and I take gun safety very seriously.”
We’re sure he does — the robbery he’s referring to hear sounded terrifying.
As he said, in 2014, he was robbed at gunpoint when a group of men broke into his Raleigh home, forced him and his roommates to lie face-down on the ground, and proceeded to steal cash and electronics.
It’s understandable that he’d want to get a permit to carry a gun of his own after such an ordeal, and it’s also easy to believe that he’d be extremely careful with it.
“While in between tour dates last week,” Scotty continued, “I went to go target shooting with a friend a few days before an early flight out of my hometown Raleigh-Durham airport.”
“Unfortunately, I did not realize that I left my pistol in my backback until the TSA found it during the security X-ray screening and rightfully confiscated it.”
“I had my concealed carry permit on me,” he added, “so once they had checked everything out, they then released me to catch the next available flight.”
“Great to know our airport security force is on the job. I have learned a lesson that I won’t forget.”
We imagine that’s a pretty big understatement.

Scotty Ayre: Leah Messer"s Secret Boyfriend Revealed?!
If you watch Teen Mom 2 online, you know that Leah Messer has been involved in several tumultuous relationships during her time on the show.
Some have been high-profile, such as Messer’s two failed marriages.
While others have been considerably more low-key, such as Leah’s relationship with T.R. Dues.
Now, we’re learning that Dues wasn’t Messer’s only secret boyfriend, and that she kept one relationship so thoroughly on the down-low that even the most gossip-starved TM2 obsessives had no idea she was seeing anyone.
An aspiring model named Scotty Ayres has revealed to Radar Online that he and Leah dated for several weeks during the summer of 2016.
“We were a ‘thing’ but she didn’t know what she wanted so we just fell out,” Ayres tells Radar. “
He adds, “It was a train wreck dating her” … but then he doesn’t really go into much detail.
In fact, despite considerable evidence to the contrary, Ayres denies that Messer was addicted to prescription drugs at one point.
“She didn’t take nothing that she wasn’t prescribed,” he claims.
“She’s not a druggie at all! She’s a good-hearted girl.”
Of course, just because she wasn’t using during the short period of time that she dated Ayres, that doesn’t mean Messer never struggled with addiction.
But despite his claim that their relationship was a “trainwreck,” Ayres has nothing negative to say about Messer’s behavior.
However, the reason for that might be that he’s holding out hope that they’ll eventually get back together.
“I wish she would give me another chance, but I have to let her come to me,” he said. “I can’t chase her.”
Gotta love a guy who will talking to the press about your relationship and act like he’s giving you your space at the same time.
Ayres concluded by offering some douchey words of advice to someone he may or may not have hooked up with almost a year ago:
“She needs to focus on herself first before she needs a man,” he said.
Deep, man. Deep
Watch Teen Mom 2 online to marvel at Leah’s tremendous talent for attracting D-bags.

Scotty Moore Dies; Guitarist For Elvis Presley Was 84
Scotty Moore, the pioneering guitarist who helped Elvis Presley bring rock and roll to the masses in the 1950s, has passed away.
He was 84 years old.
His biographer, James L. Dickerson, confirmed the death in a statement to various news outlets this afternoon.
“As a musician, I consider him one of the co-founders of rock ‘n’ roll because of the guitar licks that he invented,” said Dickerson.
He added that Moore passed away in Nashville surrounded by family and friends.
No cause of death was given.
Elvis’ ex-wife, Prisccilla Presley, also spoke highly of Moore in an interview conducted shortly after news of his death went public:
“Elvis loved Scotty dearly and treasured those amazing years together, both in the studio and on the road. Scotty was an amazing musician and a legend in his own right,” she said.
“The incredible music that Scotty and Elvis made together will live forever and influence generations to come.”
A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Moore was the last surviving member of the combo that included Elvis, Bill Black and legendary producer Sam Phillips.
His contributions to such Presley classics as “Heartbreak Hotel” and “All Shook Up” made him one of the early engineers of the sound that would come to define the early era of rock and influence young musicians like Keith Richards and Jimmy Page.
“Everyone else wanted to be Elvis,” Richards once said in an interview. “I wanted to be Scotty.”
Moore and Presley parted ways on bad terms following an argument about compensation, but in his memoirs, the guitarist would lay the blame not on Elvis, but on the unscrupulous team who managed the young singer in his early career.
The collaborators briefly reconciled for Presley’s 1968 comeback television special.
In his later years, Moore worked as a recording studio manager, businessman, and prolific audio engineer.
“He was a class act as a human being,” Dickerson said of Moore today.
“Besides being one of the best guitarists that ever lived and most inventive, he was a great person, and you don’t always find that in the music industry.”
