Bits & Pieces: Martina McBride will serve as a judge on new talent competition Second Chance Stage, debuting this fall on Chip and Joanna Gaines' Magnolia Network. Filmed in Kansas City, the eight-episode series offers dancers, singers and standup comics "who have pushed their dreams aside for years, even decades, a second chance at their big break," plus an opportunity to win $100,000. Judges also include Taye Diggs and SNL's Heidi Gardner.
