Denny's After Dark

Denny's Corp. is trying to restake its claim as a nocturnal hot spot for young adults.
The restaurant chain -- which conjures images of seniors and families digging into morning pancake platters -- has been trying to set a different scene for night owls. Between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. it pipes in rock and country music and it is scheduling after-concert parties for up-and-coming bands. It has added late-night menu items fashioned by well-known musicians including Rascal Flatts and Good Charlotte. Singer Jewel is slated to concoct a new Denny's menu item at a New York test kitchen.

Brad Paisley 'Arrested' in Nashville

Country singer, Brad Paisley, 35, was “arrested” by two retired police officers at 3:15 am in his Nashville hometown. He had just landed at the airport after finishing his last tour date with Jewel in San Antonio, Texas.
Paisley was handcuffed for “serious crimes,” according to the cops. “You’ve gotta be kidding me!” the bewildered country star said. “I’ve never done anything wrong in my life.”
Replied police: “We have a Miss Jewel Murray who has filed 42 charges against you in the states of Texas and Tennessee for excessive noodling.”
At that point, Paisley realized he’d been had by Jewel, his opening act.“Noodling? On the guitar? You know what, I am guilty,” he joked.
