Hey, Martina had a doll too

It's funny the amount of celebs out there who have or have had dolls in the past.  Here's Martina's doll.  The doll is wearing a recreation of the dress she wore to the 39th ACMs, and for $22.50 you can own your very own.  Check it out here.  

Watch if you dare

Oh the things that happen when stars use video cameras.  Thankfully no country stars that I know have videos that involve nakedness and regrets, they just have videos like this.  Bunch of goofy people.

The Taylor dolls are finally hitting the market

Eonline has a post about the Taylor dolls finally hitting the market.  E says that the dolls are available exclusively at Walmart which may explain why all the pictures and articles about the dolls were removed earlier when I told you about them a while back.  Walmart is cornering the Taylor doll market I guess.

The dolls sell for just under $15 and in case you never got over Taylor and the JoBro breaking up, there's also a Joe Jonas doll available but sold separately (see above).  At least they may be able to find love in the minds of the doll owners. 

Play sports with a couple of stars

Would you like to ski with LeAnn Rimes?  How about throw a dodgeball at Keith Urban?  How about pretend to be Keith while you throw a dogeball at LeAnn?  Yeah, take that concert cancelling queen. 

If those are things you'd like to try your hand at, then EA Sports has the game for you.  Celebrity Sports Showdown lets you play games either against or as several different celebrities.  You can play dodgeball, kayak, ski, play tennis, and many other games.  It looks like a total blast.  The game goes on sale tomorrow.

 

Introducing the Taylor dolls

As I told you a few days ago Taylor is joining the growing list of country stars with their own dolls.  I hadn't been able to find pictures of the doll I spoke of and the funny thing is that all of the websites that I looked at say the pictures were removed on October 8 but don't say why.  I have no clue if this means there are issues or the manufacturer just doesn't want them to be seen. 

Anyway, I did find one site that claims to have them. 

The first doll description says: Recreate a world of glamorous fashion and music with your own singing Taylor Swift doll! These dolls feature two of Taylor's biggest hits - "Our Song" and "Teardrops On My Guitar." Each doll comes with the dress as seen in her music videos. In addition, each doll comes with an accessory for the girl - Our Song comes with a Taylor Swift VIP Pass, and Teardrops comes with Gem Face decoration. Sold separately, the dolls come in clamshell collector's packaging.  It sells for $149 *gulp* and is available now.  You can check it out here.

The second description says:  Taylor Swift, one of the hottest country music stars of today, stars in this line of collectible dolls that feature some of Taylor's most recognizable outfits from awards shows, TV appearances and concert performances! Each doll comes wearing a unique fashion along with an additional fashion packed out on the side. Each fashion is just like a fashion worn by Taylor in real life! Also included with each doll is an accessory for the girl which resembles a real life Taylor accessory - Sundress Medley comes with the Love Love bracelet, Red Carpet Ready comes with a Charm bracelet, and Pretty In Pink comes with Heart tattoos. Each doll comes in a clamshell collector's box.

Note: Case contains 8 dolls with no guarantee on content or mix.  It sells for $150 and you can check it out here.

I guess maybe they're so expensive because you get a bunch of them, maybe for resale.  You can also check out the video here if the one below doesn't work.

Funny enough, Amazon also has them for sale but no photo available.  What the heck is with all the no photos available?

Kellie Pickler rides a bull backwards

Ha ha.  I've never personally rode a mechanical bull at a bar, but I've laughed at an awful lot of people who have.  Here's Kellie doing her best backwards cowboy routine on a mechanical bull.

The answer to the baby guessing game

So did you all figure out who the little baby boy from yesterday's guessing game belonged to? 

He's little cutie Cole whose dad is Jamie Johnson from the Grascals.  Be sure to check out their MySpace here. 

Little Jackson Cole (Cole Train) Johnson was born on July 12, 2008, to Jamie and his wife, Suzanne. 

So did everyone have fun?  Stay tuned and we'll play guess that baby again sometime soon. 

Let's play guess that baby

We're gonna play a guessing game here.  I found some cute baby pictures today and now you have to guess who the baby belongs to.  You can leave your guesses in the comments section if you like or you can just play with yourself for fun (well you know what I mean). 

I will reveal the baby's identity tomorrow morning. 

A couple of hints: 

1. The baby does not belong to Vince and Amy.
2. Baby's daddy is the famous parent.
3. The baby is a boy and his name starts with a C or a J depending on what name people use.

Seems everyone has a doll

First Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban dolls, now LeAnn Rimes.  Wonder what doll I'll dig up next. 

I guess actually looking like the star isn't that important, as long as the box has a signature.
