10 Things You Didn’t Know About Reba McEntire: No. 1
1. She's pals with former President George H. W. Bush.
In 2006, McEntire told Entertainment Weekly that she and the former president keep in touch via email. “Matter of fact, I was in New York one time during the World Series watching the game, and I saw President Bush and Barbara sittin’ behind home plate. I get on my Treo, and I e-mail him, 'Hey, I see you on TV. Have a hot dog for me.' I see him elbowing Barbara, and pointin’ down to his Treo. Then he’s just workin’ on it. Pretty soon I get a message back from him: 'Wait ’til so-and-so gets up to bat, and I’ll wave at ya.'"
