Sara Evans does stuff in my neck of the woods

Okay, Sun Valley is a little more than a hop, skip, and a jump away from me, but it's Idaho so it's ALL my neck of the woods. Enjoy watching Sara enjoy the great state of Idaho.

Julianne takes us shopping with her

Julianne Hough took "Entertainment Tonight" shopping with her to show a few of her essentials. Yes, I know, totally exciting, but there's really not much else going on so you get what I find. On a side note, and since she mentions Venus in the video, Julianne is the new spokesperson for the Gillette Venus razors.

Martina's got marriage on the mind

Okay, so I've come across three things about Martina this morning and all three have to do with weddings and marriage. 

First off, somehow the rumor got started that Martina could possibly sing at the eldest Jonas Brother, Kevin's, wedding.  Martina, however, took to her Twitter to clear things up. 

B/t/w, no I have not been asked to sing @KevinJonas's wedding! That was what u call a "media misunderstanding". Howevr I wd be happy to! :)

Glad that's straightened out. 

Next, Martina took to her blog to let the world know the secret to her 21-year-marriage...

I've been married to the same man, John McBride, for 21 years. When people ask me the secret to staying married, the most obvious answer is that I chose well. Or got lucky, depending on how you look at it. I married a man who is a great partner. He is thoughtful, kind, considerate. romantic, handsome and really funny. We love each other's company, our personalities complement each other and we respect each other. He thinks I'm smart and funny and I think the same about him. We are a great team.

Awww, very sweet.  Check out the rest of her blog post here.

And lastly, and the reason behind all this Martina wedding talk (well maybe not the Kevin Jonas part, but the rest), Martina will be singing on "The Today Show" Wednesday for the 10th annual "Today" Throws a Wedding event.  Martina will be singing her new song "I Just Call You Mine" on the show as a very lucky Texas couple says 'I do" in front of millions of television viewers.  

What a memorable way to start a life together.  Maybe some of Martina's good marriage mojo will rub off on the couple.   

Keith and Nicole take in a show

I had a couple of pictures last night that were part of this same series of pictures of Keith and Nicole, but this picture caught my eye for two reasons.  1) It's amazing for someone so skinny Nicole looks pregnant in absolutely every picture you see of her.  It doesn't matter if the picture is from last month, three months ago or now, she always has a pregnancy pooch.  It actually makes me like her more. But I can see why everyone's always saying she's pregnant.  And 2) Gotta love the very bored looking photographer behind the couple. 

Anyway, Keith's in New York visiting Nicole who's there currently filming a movie.  The pair took in the new Johnny Depp gangster movie, Public Enemies.
