Carrie Steals the Spotlight, Shania Rocks
the Vote and Kellie’s Dating Jordin
 If
you’re like me you’re one of the American Idol fans who helped
submit a record 74 million votes for last week’s finale. And now,
you’re probably, as I am, looking for a new ‘guilty pleasure’ TV show
to provide you with the perfect excuse not to mow the lawn, finish your
spring cleaning or to cross off one of the dozens of housekeeping chores on
your list.
If you’re Canadian, it’s
a no-brainer. The new season of Canadian Idol premiere’s June
5th on CTV. If you’re American, might I suggest On The
Lot? It’s not about music but it’s a country song in the
making. Hard work, sleepless nights, high hopes and crushed dreams. Last
week’s premiere was wonderfully cringe worthy, as reality shows are wont
to be, and I’ve already got my money on Zach L., the kid from
Vancouver and the only Canadian left on the show.
But back to Idol where, once
again, Carrie Underwood stole the show with a graceful, soaring cover
of "She's Leaving Home," backed by the female finalists. She
looked beautiful, was sweet and modest when Clive Davis awarded her with
selling six million copies of her debut album, "Some Hearts", and
quickly turned the spotlight back to Jordin and Blake for whom it was a
really big night.
No sign of Tony Romo
at the finale but I’m sure he wasn’t far behind cheering his new gal on.
They were spotted together May 11th at the Snapple Theatre Center
where Carrie went to cheer fellow Idol contestant, Anthony Federov,
performing in “The Fantasticks.” Apparently the two have remained good
friends since their time on Idol together. For those of you who don’t
remember him, Anthony was the blond kid with the hole-shaped scar on his
throat.
 One
last thing about Carrie, she’s in the running for the World's Sexiest
Vegetarian again this year after winning in 2005. Other country stars on the
list include Chely Wright, Emmylou Harris and Shania Twain.

Speaking of Shania, the queen
of country’s "Rock This Country!" is a Round One winner among
nine songs being voted on for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign
theme. Log onto to hillaryclinton.com to vote. In other Shania news, her
second fragrance “Shania Starlight” is due in stores this fall.
 Dierks
Bentley got a boat as a gift from Kenny Chesney last year after
their tour ended. Kenny blindfolded Dierks, led him to the back of the bus
where the boat had been trucked in just so Dierks could see it and climb
around in it, then Kenny had it driven back to Dierk’s house in Nashville.
Say what you will, Kenny is one of the most generous guys in country music.
He gave Keith Urban a motorcycle after they toured together and Renee
Zellwegger half his assets after they…er, nevermind.
 It's
official: Kelli Pickler is dating Nashville Predators hockey player Jordin
Tootoo. “We’ve been seeing each other since January, but we kept it
under wraps,” Kellie told Us magazine. Jordin, who is originally from
Churchill, Manitoba and has Inuit Eskimo lineage, reportedly invited the
Albemarle, NC native to one of his games and the romance began to blossom
from there. Kellie says she plans to visit his hometown this summer.
“I’m going to build an igloo!” What is it with American Idol
blond bombshells and dating rising sports stars? First Carrie now Kellie?
Very ‘high school cheerleader dates town jock’ if you ask me.
Meanwhile, another blond
bombshell’s put an end to her highly publicized relationship. John
Mayer and Jessica Simpson have broken up. Last weekend he
performed a set at a comedy place in NY talking about being single and
complaining that Carrie Underwood’s hit "Before He
Cheats" is too aggressive toward guys. Poor John. Feeling a little hard
done by these days? I hear Cameron Diaz is newly single and
looking.
Until next time, remember, “It’s not
what they say about you, it’s what they whisper.”
