I wonder if Pam Anderson will be calling Kellie Pickler names

I was snooping around some sites when I came across this podcast of Kellie Pickler talking about her meat addiction and the help she's getting from Carrie Underwood to break the habit. 

If you listen long enough they also get into a conversation about butt implants.

Miley may have won the battle, but Sugarland is winning the war

Oh happy news, the adults are winning after all. 

Last week Sugarland came in a close second to Miley Cyrus for first-week record sales.  This week, though, the duo has overtaken the teen titan and have claimed the #1 spot for record sales, selling 171,000 more records the second week compared to Miley's 162,000. 

And all is right with the world again.

Fun and games with Kenny Chesney

Oh this is sort of fun.  Jacksonville.com is having a contest to see who can best portray what's under Kenny's hat.  You download a picture from their website and then draw, paint, Photoshop, whatever what you think is under the hat and then submit it to the site.  They will then show all the entrants on the site.  May turn out to be pretty funny I'd think. 

The winner will also be announced on the site, although I'm not sure that the winner actually wins anything.  Actually the winner (after reading the rest of the site) will have their picture published on the Friday, Aug. 29 edition of Weekend. 

Sounds fun, now get artistic. 

Note:  They also have a Kenny word game you can play here.

Sugarland frustration

I have the deluxe fan edition of the Sugarland CD "Love On The Inside," but have never attempted to download the bonus video content that comes with it.  Apparently, though, a lot of people have had trouble getting this to download and are griping about it. 

Over on Ploughboy Mansion he has a whole post (or actually several posts) of reader-submitted cures for this problem.  So if you are a frustrated Sugarland fan who wants this content but haven't been able to download it, then head on over there and see if you can get your problem solved.  You can also visit Ploughboy's homepage here so you can see all the posts about how to fix this problem.   

Tivo Time

Taylor Swift will be on The Ellen show today so make sure and set your timers because this may be one funny show. 

Lady Antebellum started as a pickup line in a bar?

Lady Antebellum's story could have come out much different and could have just ended at a bar, a victim of a perceived pickup line. 

The first time Hillary Scott met now bandmate Charles Kelley, it was in a Nashville bar.  Hillary knew who Charles Kelley was and had heard some of his music online (oh the magic of the Internet).  When they eventually ended up in the same Nashville bar, she decided to introduce herself.

"I just recognized him, and I kind of walked up to him and said, 'What's your name? You look so familiar,'" she told Dial-Global. "And he said, 'Charles Kelley.' And I said, 'Well, I really like what you do. I'm a fan, and I'm a singer-songwriter from here in Nashville.' So he goes, 'Well, you're a writer, huh? Well, let me get your number. We can get together and write songs.'"

Charles says that he made the offer of writing songs together, but he actually just wanted a date.  Such a man thing, she says "songwriting," and he hears "lets hookup." 

"We still to this day haven't been on that date yet," Hillary laughed.  Which sorta squashes the perceived notion that she and Charles are dating. 

So there you go, Lady A started out as a pickup line, sorta. or at least as a perceived one.  Thank goodness it didn't just stay a misunderstanding.

Kids say the darndest things

So I was sitting here watching TV with my husband and son (daughter was busy putting up posters of the Jonas Bros. on her wall).  I had driven through town earlier today and one of the local tire places had the monster truck Bigfoot there for people to see.

So we're sitting here and I tell son, "hey Jay, they have Bigfoot at Commercial Tire that maybe tomorrow we'll go and see if it's still there."

Son gives me a sort of blank look for a minute and then says "how did they get it there?"

"Well I think they probably brought it in on a trailer."  Another blank stare.

"How do you think they caught it?"  That's when I had to laugh and laugh and laugh.

"The truck Jay, not the monster." 

Then son laughed too.  I think he was a little relieved I was taking him to see Bigfoot the truck and not Bigfoot the monster. 

Kids minds work in mysterious ways sometimes.

Lyle Lovett should write a book about dating

Lyle Lovett isn't exactly a looker, so how does he do it?  First he was married to Julia Roberts and now he's been dating another pretty woman, April Kimble.

Man should teach a class or something.

Chris Cagle sorta looks like his dogs

Yep, the old adage of owners will eventually morph into their dogs seems to hold true here.
