The President almost ruined Kellie Pickler's second album

Awww Kellie Pickler, she's always good for a story to make us laugh.  She talked recently with my friend Jeff from the Ploughboy Mansion and of course the interview had a great Kellie story included. 

Okay, Jeff doesn't know he's my friend, but I get quite a few stories from him so that makes him my buddy whether he knows it or not.

Anyway, Kellie tells the story of how she thought the President of the US was ruining her chances of anyone knowing her second album was coming out. 

LP: You’ve released two albums and both have hit No. 1. That must be a great feeling.

KP: “I’m definitely not complaining about that. It’s amazing. Long story short — when my second album came out, I was in New York City getting ready to do The Today Show. It was my record launch, the big day, and I wake up that morning really early. I’m laying in bed and I turn on the TV and I’m like, ‘Holy cow!’ The same day that my album is coming out is the same day that the stock market dropped to the lowest level in history. So the President was on every channel. It seemed like all the TV and media I was doing to promote my record coming out, the President kept interrrupting me on TV. (laughs) I was like, ‘Just give me one minute to finish singing my song and then you can come on and talk about the bad news.’ I thought nobody would know my record was coming out because the President was interrupting me. I didn’t think anyone was going to buy it. With the economy being what it is, I didn’t expect anyone to take their hard-earned money and got out a CD when people are losing their houses. When I got the news that the album debuted at No. 1 on the charts, I was completely floored because I didn’t think anybody knew it was coming out. It was an awkward and weird situation.”

Talking about a selfish attitude! Kelly should have kept this little panic attack to herself. No one wants to hear a famous wealthy singer cry over record sales!
All I could think about when I read this article was Kelly screaming "Today was supposed to be about me, me, me"!
