Nicole’s
Pregnant, Kenny’s Thirty-Nine and Wy Ditches The Roach
 Since
Keith Urban was first seen flirting with Nicole Kidman a
little over two years ago at a gala dinner in Los Angeles, the pappies just
can’t seem to get enough of him. And well, as a die-hard fan, I
can’t say I mind too much. I just wish he’d picked someone a little
more…human. And I must admit I am still a little mystified by that
union.
In
his latest interview with the Sunday Telegraph in the UK, Keith opened up
– again – about his marriage with Nicole. He said, “As far as
being a married man, it is the best thing I have ever done. And it is not
just about being married; to me, it is about being married to her, to that
woman because she has just saved my life — absolutely saved it. Everything
happens for a reason so the timing of that (rehab) was divinely inspired.”
And
so, thanks to Keith, Nicole has just gotten herself a brand new image. She
is the kind of woman who can transform a man. After all, he did refer
to her as his “savior”.
Here’s what he had to say on their privacy. “Because Nic and I are
so private, it tends to make people want to see what that privacy is really
all about. If we were plastered in the magazines all the time and sort of
got pictures willingly, it would wear off and probably people wouldn’t
want them so much. The fact that we actually go out of our way to be a bit
more elusive tends to exacerbate the situation but I would just rather have
a more quiet life, like we do. It is relatively quiet compared to most, I
think.”
Someone needs to tell Keith that he and Nic are plastered all over every
tabloid out there. And I could have sworn that the entire world knew
when, where and how they were going to get married a good week before the
wedding. I mean, we were given all the details, right down to the venue,
pictures of Nic’s dress, what the invitation looked like, in fact, a copy
of the invitation even made it to the local papers. And, after they
announced their nuptials, Keith and Nicole even sent cold beer to a group of
paparazzi camped outside Nicole’s home. That’s not what I call being
private or elusive.
But,
I digress. What do Keith and Nicole get out of this union? Well,
Nicole gets to play Florence Nightingale to a man who is arguably one of the
sexiest musicians in country music. And Keith?
For starters, he is bigger now that ever. Marrying a Hollywood "A-lister"
didn’t hurt his career one bit. Although word on the street is he’s
not happy about being referring to as “Nicole Kidman’s husband”. But
still… his fame has reached heights I’m sure he’d never imagined
possible. And then there are the contacts. Contacts like David Geffen (Dreamworks),
Ron Meyer (Universal Studios), and Joel Silver (The Matrix Trilogy) – all
out for lunch with Nicole (and Keith) the other day in LA. Having
friends in high places never hurt anyone.
One last thing on the “private” KeNic. Australian tabloids are reporting
that the happy couple are expecting thanks to fertility treatments.
According to them, this time it’s one hundred per cent true because
she’s “told her friends”. I have no idea if it is in fact true, but
since Nic’s best gal pal Naomi Watts is pregnant, I could see the
Australian beauty wanting to experience the joys of maternity in tandem with
her best girlfriend.
Alright. Enough
about those two.
 Now
for someone’s whose Hollywood wedding was not a great career move…Kenny
Chesney celebrated his 39th birthday last week and Tim
McGraw, Faith Hill, Gretchen Wilson and Jewel were
among the celebrity friends who showed up at a Nashville bar to whoop it up
in his honor.
Backed
by his band, Kenny performed a long set that included his hits and a bunch
of cover songs, including U2's "With or Without You," the Rolling
Stones' "Honky Tonk Women" and Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Gimme Three
Steps" and "Sweet Home Alabama."
Several
of his friends joined him onstage, including Gretchen, Montgomery Gentry
and Sara Evans. Also attending the event at the Tin Roof were Kix
Brooks, Big Kenny and John Rich, Tracy Lawrence,
songwriter Craig Wiseman and video director Shaun Silva.
Now,
that’s a party I wish I’d been invited to. I ask you – if you
could hang out with just one of those people for a night, who would it be? Personally,
if I wanted someone to chill out with in the islands, I’d pick Kenny but
if I were looking for a party, I’d definitely pick the Musik Mafia cats. Insiders
tell me that Kenny and John are wild and crazy and a laugh a minute. It’s
not an act. Those two are the real deal. And the best part is they’re
a couple of happy, go-lucky guys who are thankful for every minute of every
day they get to make music and perform.
The
guys will be performing at the Craven Country Jamboree in Craven
Saskatchewan on July 14 and I will be there! Look for me at the CMT
Canada trailer. I’ll be the girl in the cowboy hat.
 And
finally, Wynonna Judd filed for divorce March 28th citing
irreconcilable differences from her husband, Daniel Roach, after he
was charged with three counts of aggravated sexual battery against a child
under the age of 13. What do you say to that? Just the thought of it
makes me sick.
The
charges were the result of an investigation by Nashville’s Metro Police
sex crimes unit that began last month. The “Cockroach” was arrested last
week as a wanted fugitive at the Shades of Hope rehab center in Buffalo Gap,
Texas where he was for drug and alcohol addiction. He’s in jail on a
$750,000 bond.
Until
next time, it’s not what they say about you, it’s what they whisper.
