text: He may have started recording long before her -- as a Louisiana wunderkind, he had a pair of records released when he was just nine and ten -- but Hunter Hayes emerged in the 2010s as the first genuine post-Taylor Swift artist in country music. Hayes followed her footsteps in the sense that he hid neither his youth nor his careerism, allowing his songs to have an open-hearted adolescence tempered by hooks designed to fill stadiums or at least occupy constant space on the airwaves. All this was evident on his eponymous 2011 album -- the major-label debut with Atlantic that effectively acts as his overall debut -- but it's in even stronger play on its 2014 sequel, "Storyline." Once again co-written and co-produced by Hayes (Dann Huff returns as the co-producer), "Storyline" differs from its predecessor in that it showcases Hayes' touring band, a move that opens up the music and lets it breathe. Nevertheless, Hayes could never be considered a gritty musician, not by a long shot; he's proud of his sunny disposition and possesses a high, slightly nasal voice that occasionally recalls Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts. Hunter may have penned "Play," a tune that turned into a hit for RF in 2010, but he favors a brighter, sturdier pop than that Ohio group and he also can sling a guitar like Brad Paisley, two distinctions that give "Storyline" a livelier feel. His instrumental prowess provides the tightest ties to country music -- there's twang and muscle in his leads -- and they're showcased early on the album but this is by and large a proud pop album, something that's plain by the time the record reaches its first single, "Invisible," at just before the halfway point. Like Taylor, Hunter doesn't bother sounding older than his years nor does he care to put on airs: he's a modern-day Southern boy, raised on radio pop played in big box stores and playing the back porch on a Sunday afternoon, and those two strands come together beguilingly on this second album. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine - All Music Guide
  Series featuring real-life bandsBy Vinnie PennSpecial to MSN TV"The Wanted Life," the latest (potential) feather in Ryan Seacrest's successful producer hat, premieres Sunday, June 2, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on E!, and focuses on the adventures in (and out) of the studio of recording artists the Wanted. The English-Irish boy band hit the scene in 2009 and is best known for the hit songs "Glad You Came" and "Chasing the Sun." Seacrest obviously believes their burping contests and squabbling over singles and singletons will make for good TV, all the while knowing the teenaged girls here in America will watch even if the boys simply stare at the camera like they're on Skype.Seacrest's score sheet is admirable&#160;-- so much so that E! president Suzanne Kold thought introducing girl group the Saturdays to an American audience (already a sensation across the pond, though not here) would be a cinch, but it didn't go according to plan. ("Chasing the Saturdays" was canceled after only one season.) Fact is, the Wanted have U.S. hits behind them already, plus are more formidable on stage than the Saturdays, too; I caught the Wanted last year with my 7-year-old, and their Coldplay medley showed that some of them have real chops and a few solo records definitely lie in wait. The Saturdays seemed to think they could reinvent the Spice Girls, most of whom are busy trying to do that themselves.Still, watching musicians do their thing on television, arguments with producers and all, followed by breakdowns on the phone with faraway parents or other halves, makes for good TV.Here is a list of the top of the pop TV:Bing: More about 'The Wanted Life'Which TV band rocks your world?

  "I'm doing a musical of my life story - and I'm also doing a movie. When we started talking about a movie, people had mentioned Scarlett Johansson. I guess she's full-bosomed." Singer Dolly Parton isn't opposed to the idea of actress Scarlett Johansson portraying her on the big screen.
  She loves switching up her workouts, sometimes opting for group classes or at-home workouts that anyone can do.
  Jennifer Aniston has always prioritized health, and is happy to talk about all the ways she stays in shape.
  In addition to a surprisingly simple diet filled with plenty of fresh fruits, veggies, and protein, Aniston has an intense workout routine that features plenty of exercises anyone can do from their own home, using minimal equipment and space.
  "I feel really beautiful when I finish a great workout," Aniston told People magazine after winning 2016's World's Most Beautiful Woman. "Because I've taken care of my body, my endorphins are going, my blood is pumping. I'm taking care of the one body I have."
  But as she gets older, she's learning to love and accept her body as it is. "When we're kids, we're constantly working out for smaller arms, a leaner butt, a flat tummy," she told Elle magazine in 2015. "Don't beat it up so hard. Let it be. It can be a little soft."
  To get her signature toned muscles, the actress is constantly changing up her workouts, telling Vogue magazine in 2017 that she "goes in and out of [certain exercises]."
  That said, she is also a longtime yoga devotee, having worked with yoga trainer and friend Mandy Ingber since 2005. According to InStyle, Aniston's typical yoga workoutstarts off with 20 to 30 minutes of spinning. Once her heart rate is up, she and Ingber do 40 to 45 minutes of yoga, incorporating moves like sun salutations, warrior II, triangle, and other standing poses.
  "She loves balancing poses, like tree, half-moon pose, and warrior III," Inbger told InStyle. "She does love a good tree. She also likes plank as well, because plank will work with the abs, or the forearm plank, so any variation on the plank or the forearm plank."
  In an interview with Shape, Ingber explained how to do a few of Aniston's favorite moves, including tree pose:
  "Place most of your weight on your right leg and draw your left heel to the inner-thigh of the right leg. Steady your gaze and connect with your breath. Keep the left knee turning out, and gently tuck your tailbone, as you extend out throughout the crown of the head."
  Then, "with the hands in prayer position, press the palms together, at the same time press the inner-thigh and the sole of the foot together."
  Aniston sings the praises of both yoga as a whole and Ingber, testifying on Ingber's website, "When I started doing yoga with Mandy, I noticed many things. My legs getting leaner. My arms getting stronger, and most importantly, I noticed an inner strength... I feel like I am getting a meditation, a workout, and time with my friend, all rolled into one hour."
  The Bar Method is a Pilates/ballet hybrid using body weight exercises as well as props like a bar, a medicine ball, and free weights. It's gentle, but don't let that fool you.
  "I've been in constant pain for three weeks straight," Aniston told Elle of the workout. "The kind where you're not sure you'll walk again!"
  In 2017, she told Shape magazine she loves The Class by Taryn Toomey, a combination yoga/cardio/strength training workout.
  "I am in love with because it's sort of a fantastic moving meditation. You get your emotions out, you get your psyche cleaned, you get your body sweating — it checks a lot of boxes," she said. "You feel the power of the group energy — it's kind of an extraordinary experience."
  Recently, however, Aniston took up boxing, saying that, aside from yoga, it's the longest workout she's stayed with consistently. That may be due to the mental and emotional aspect of the workout.
  "There's something about the mental aspect of boxing — the drills, your brain has to work, you're not just sitting on a bike," Aniston told InStyle in 2018. "Boxing is a great way to get aggression out. You get a mental release of all this crap you're taking into your ears and eyes every day and have little fantasy moments imagining who you're punching."
  Aniston's boxing trainer Leyon Azubuike, owner of Gloveworx boxing studio, tells Us Weekly that they work out anywhere from 45 minutes to two and a half hours.
  They start with "dynamic" warm-up, which Azubuike explained as "getting the body ready to go" by engaging the glutes and core.
  "One thing I like to use is jogging and getting the body sweaty and ready to go, also something like butt kicks, where heels are coming to the glutes and you are pumping your arms in a swinging motion or they are behind your back," he said.
  They then enter the "grind phase," which Azubuike describes as a "hard activity such as boxing [throwing punches], asymmetric holds, light weights with high reps or something that is challenging like jump rope."
  The duo then moves to core work using battle ropes and mini bands. He told the magazine that ropes "are something you can do to add resistance to a movement and it really makes your core fire" while mini bands are "placed slightly above the knee and slightly about the ankles and we do things called monster walks or lateral steps to activate the glutes and make sure they are firing."
  Then there's the cool down, which Azubuike says includes variations on the plank, as well as using a foam roller and trigger point balls to help with recovery and tightness.
  The reasoning behind this flow, he explains, is to keep the workout "smart and strategic," adding, "we are not always going super hard all the time so we can keep her performing at her very best no matter what phase of the workout we are in."
  But he says Aniston doesn't mess around when she hits the gym, telling Us Weekly that "with Jen, the challenge is less on Jen and more on her coach — me. She is at the top of her game all the time."
  Aniston's go-to arm moves can be done anywhere and don't require a gym. Trainer Danielle Lagree of Lagree Fitness Studio says Aniston loves resistance moves for her arms. These use a resistance band and are all about tiny, controlled movements that engage the entire body, including the core, as she demonstrated in a video with InStyle magazine in 2018.
  When she's not working with a trainer or attending a class, Aniston hits a cardio machine just like the rest of us. In 2017, she told Vogue she sometimes does the elliptical
  , revealing, "I do 45 mins of intervals on my elliptical. I raise the incline, run for two mins, walk for one, run for two ... and I do it for 20 minutes straight until I'm just drenched."
  No gym? No problem. In 2016, she told Harper's Bazaar magazine she loves the "Body by Simone DVD for floor work. It's so freakin' hard, it's unbelievable."
  Ingber told InStyle in 2014 that the duo, "always complete our session with a 5-minute savasana, which is basically a corpse pose," Ingber says, adding that Aniston also uses a meditation timer on her own. When using a timer, like on your phone, Ingber recommends that you "set the timer, close your eyes, sit straight up in a chair, both feet flat on the floor, and put your attention on your breath and do your best."
  "Your stress levels are just down and you find yourself interacting with the world much easier and better and in a calmer way, and there's a peaceful joy that comes over you," she said.
  She also loves that "there's no right or wrong" no matter how you choose to meditate, whether you take a meditation class or simply listen to music and close your eyes, adding, "you can't mess it up."
