Keith’s Coming
to Canada, Johnny Knoxville
is a Babe and Kellie’s Still Annoying
1/28/07
 It’s
no big secret that I’m a Keith Urban fan. So naturally, when it comes to
country music’s A-List gossip, all things Keith are foremost on my mind.
Now that he’s fresh out of a 90-day stint in rehab, the
guitar god’s return to the concert stage has been set. The first leg
of his "Love, Pain & the whole crazy World Tour," takes to
North American soil on Friday, June 8th. And his Canadians fans will be
happy to know, the first leg Includes Canadian stops in Calgary, Vancouver
and Edmonton. I’m hugely disappointed he won’t be going any further east
than Calgary, but I digress.
Tickets go on sale February 3rd, but members of Keith’s
online community, Monkeyville, get dibs on advance tickets starting on
Monday, January 29th. Check out www.keithurban.net
for cities and exact concert dates.
If you’re like me, you’re
probably still a little bummed about the Keith-Nicole match-up. I mean, I
know I have a snow ball’s chance in hell of ever even getting as much as a
hug from the guy, but still, a girl can dream. Of course, it’s a lot
harder to dream when there’s that plastic red headed Barbie clinging to
his arm in every single picture I find of him. To be fair though, I have to
admit it must be nice for him to come home to someone who speaks Australian.
Fair dinkum.
To get a sense of Keith and Nicole’s marriage, give his
new album a listen. Keith told the German magazine Stern, "There's a
handful of songs on the record that were inspired by her and by the way my
life changed when we met – so much for the better. She was a good ray of
sun in my life. I didn't intend to write any songs about her. I just wrote,
and obviously what was coming out was how I was feeling."
By now, you’ve probably heard that Nicole had a car
accident on the set of her latest movie, "The Invasion." Relax,
she’s fine. She and eight other people were taken to a hospital for
examination after the Jaguar crashed. She wasn’t actually driving, the
vehicle was being towed by a camera rig that skidded into a light post. Two
crew members suffered minor injuries, but were apparently not important
enough to even be mentioned by name in any of the articles on the incident.
Fender benders are only news when you’re famous.
Dale Watson's upcoming album, "From the Cradle to
the Grave", was recorded at the log cabin that once belonged to Johnny
Cash and now belongs to Johnny Knoxville.
 I
met Johnny Knoxville a couple of years ago in New York City at the Dukes of
Hazzard junket. He is one hell of a sexy guy. Seriously. I’ve met my share
of famous people along the way and I don’t get star struck very often, but
there is some serious animal mojo oozing from that man. We shook hands, sat
down and when I tried to speak, not a sound came out. I stuttered, blushed
and stuttered some more. I’m still embarrassed about it. I mean, c’mon.
This is the guy who was knocked unconscious three times during the making of
"Jackass: The Movie".
Back to Dale Watson, that man seems to have some serious
sexual mojo of his own. If you’ve met him, or have a Dale Watson story,
e-mail me. I’d love to hear it.
Kelly Pickler’s appearance on the view last week gave
her CD a 64 per cent increase in sales putting her back up to the number 8
position on this week’s Country Albums Billboard Chart. Urgh. Am I really
the only one who hated it? If you missed it, the performance is on YouTube
– check it out and let me know what you think.
One last thing on Picklebutt (I’m not being cruel. It’s
what her friends call her, honest!) I heard through the grapevine that she’s
going to be co-hosting with Elissa Lansdell on an upcoming special on CMT
Canada. I’ll keep you posted.
 Last
weekend, Peyton Manning got the Colts in their first Super Bowl appearance
and watching it all from the family’s box seats was his good ‘ole buddy
Kenny Chesney. Peyton's brother, Giants quarterback Eli Manning was also
there and after the win, Kenny said, "we were up all night and had to
call a car to get to the airport at 4:30 a.m." God Kenny, how can you
expect people to believe you’re straight when you say things like that? I
know this story should be filed under the "complete
random rumor mill", but the pure notion of it is so entertaining that I
can’t help but bring mention it.
And finally, John Mayer has a new tour partner –
Jessica Simpson! The two, were seen sharing a romantic
dinner together in Miami a few
nights ago, then left to board John’s tour bus.
How long will the couple be in the Sunshine State? My
guess is John should be sticking around for at least a couple more days. He’s
performing Monday January 29th in Pensacola. As for Jessica, now that the
shooting of her latest flick "Blonde Ambition" has wrapped, expect
to see her at most of his upcoming gigs.
Now for the juicy part, according to Lainey Gossip,
Jessica allegedly left some pretty interesting things behind in the
apartment she was renting in Louisiana. When she vacated, there was hair all
over the place (yes, those long blond locks are fake), trash, I guess it was
the maid’s day off, and empty prescription bottles rumored to be labeled
"valium". I can’t say I’m surprised. The last time I was in
L.A., a handful of Vicadin, Vallium and Xanax were thrust at me at a party
when I mentioned I was feeling anxious.
Until next time, it’s not what they say about you, it’s
what they whisper.
