LeAnn Rimes Has a Cheating Heart

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 23:17:00 GMT

Us Magazine is reporting that country singer LeAnn Rimes has been doing more than practicing lines with her married TV movie co-star, Eddie Cibrian. Sources say that Rimes, who has been married to Dean Sheremet for seven years, is having a steamy affair with Cibrian, who wed model Brandi Glanville in 2001 and have two young sons together.

Rimes and Cibrian met on the set of their upcoming LIfetime movie, "Northern Lights." Prior to news of the affair breaking, director Mike Robe revealed that the two co-stars had a deep connection. "From the moment we rehearsed, LeAnn and Eddie honestly developed a really strong bond and a warm relationship."

The mag is featuring pictures taken from a video security camera that show the two holding hands and kissing on a romantic dinner date at Mosun and Club M in Laguna Beach, California on March 7. Additionally, they are reporting that the new couple met for a three-hour tryst at the Malibu Beach Inn on March 14. I don't know - looks to me like maybe Eddie was just leaning in to lick some mustard off of LeAnn's chin:

Let's hope these two aren't really the homewreckers the article is making them out to be. Extra sad is the fact that there are two very young kids involved - Cibrian's sons are only 5 and 23 months. Looks like he won't be winning any Father of the Year Awards.

Kenny Chesney Prefers a Bullet to the Head to Having Kids

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 23:05:00 GMT

Kenny Chesney's still trying to refute those gay rumors that have dogged him ever since his four-month marriage to Renee Zellweger ended in annulment, citing "fraud" as the reason. Now he's saying he's just not the settling-down type, telling Playboy, “I have friends who have a normal family, kids and a dog, and I think I would blow my brains out."

Wow, Kenny - having a family really isn't that bad, but if that's the way you feel better keep your sperm to yourself. Would hate for you to dirty up that hat of yours with a bunch of grey matter.

Then, to further prove what a manly, woman-loving, heterosexual stud muffin he is, Chesney talks about the "long line of girls" that he has had sex with who could "testify that I am not gay."

“Man, I was over 100 several years ago...that was probably back in 2001...There were years when I had a better summer than A-Rod, buddy. You know? I got on the boards quite often. From 1993 to 1998 — those five years were a blur. We would party on the bus after every show.”

Somebody give me that gun.

Dierks Bentley Debuts Daughter Evalyn Day

Sassy Smith — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 17:02:00 GMT

Country music star Dierks Bentley and his wife Cassidy, welcomed their first child, daughter Evalyn "Evie" Day 4 months ago, and now the proud papa is showing off his beautiful girl.

Photo after the jump!

Bentley, who's touring with fellow country music star Brad Paisley, said, "There's no manual or blueprint for familiies who tour - I wish someone like Brad or Bono would write a book on how to make it work!"

Dierks hit the road last month and although it's hard being away from his wife and new baby, said touring with Brad makes it easier.

"I don't want to be away from them for more than three or four days and this is pretty manageable tour. He does a few dates and then comes home."

The new daddy says of his little girl, "There are just a billion firsts. She's just perfect!"

Aww, sounds like he's so in love with his daughter!

Dierks and Evie are featured in this week's issue of PEOPLE as well as February's issue of PEOPLE Country Special.

Mindy McCready Attempts Suicide

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 22:35:00 GMT

Country singer Mindy McCready is said to be in stable condition after police report that she cut her wrists and took several pills in an apparent suicide attempt. Nashville police said McCready’s brother, Timothy McCready, discovered the singer in her bloody bed on Wednesday, several hours after she returned from a night out. He told police his sister had been “very intoxicated”.

McCready, 33, has been struggling for the past few years with legal and personal problems that have included drug charges, probation violations and previous suicide attempts.

According to the Nashville police report, the singer called her mother and told her “she had seen her angel baby.” This prompted the mother to call Timothy McCready to check on her.

He told police he found her stumbling in the kitchen but she seemed fine and she returned to her room. He went to check on her again after he woke up later that morning and discovered she had cut her wrists and ingested several pills.

This latest incident is a sad chapter in McCready's obviously turbulent life, and no doubt traumatic for her all her family and friends. But I'm curious to know why none of the stories I've read mention where McCready's 2-year-old son Zander Ryan McCready has been through all of this. In 2005 the boy's father, McCready's ex-boyfriend Billy McKnight, was arrested and charged with attempted murder after beating and choking McCready. Let's hope little Zander is somewhere far away from all this chaos.

Toby Keith: Country Music Association Screwed Me

Karl Erikson — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 22:08:00 GMT

Toby Keith once again skipped Wednesday's Country Music Association Awards. He says he gets no respect from the country music industry. "I know everybody is going to say it's sour grapes, but I don't care - it's not," Toby says. "I haven't been to a CMA Awards show in four years. They screwed me 'till I finally saw the light."

Toby has been nominated for CMAs a lot over the years; 27 of them, in fact. But he's only won twice, once for Video of the Year in 2005, and one for Male Vocalist of the Year in 2001. He says that the CMA is playing politics. In 2003 and 2004, he didn't win a thing, despite his 13 nominations.

Ever since, Keith says he's finished with the show. Other fan faves were shut out of the awards this year, too, says Toby. Rascal Flatts and Tim McGraw are examples of this. Flatts actually did get one nomination for Best Vocal Group. "You do your own math on that and figure out what you think about that show."

Yeah, no sour grapes there at all. *cough*

Toby has been married to his wife, Tricia, for 24 years. Together they have 3 children - Shelley, 28, Krystal, 23, and Stelen, 11.

Toby Keith Shaves His Armpits

Secret Message in Taylor Swift Lyrics: Pregnant or Not, She's Really Pissed

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 21:05:00 GMT

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned by a Jonas Brother! While the rumor about Taylor Swift's pregnancy may not be true, this is certain: Joe Jonas had Swift's heart, and then he broke it. And not only did he dump her, he did it over the phone. Better than texting or on a post-it, but still.

And Swift isn't about to go quietly: She apparently has left a secret message to her ex in the lyrics of her song 'Fearless' that are printed on her CD. If you string together the capitalized words in the printed lyrics, they spell out the message, “If you play these games, we’re both going to lose.” (Click on the image to enlarge.)

Very clever, Taylor, but wouldn't it have been easier to spray paint a bunch of profanities on his car and put sugar in the gas tank? Not that I know anyone who's done that.

Taylor Swift Has Something To Say About Her "Pregnancy"

Sassy Smith — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 17:04:00 GMT

Teen country music sensation Taylor Swift, who is dating Joe Jonas, has something to say about her "pregnancy," and she's none too happy about it either!

The 18-year-old cutie took to her MySpace to blog about the internet rumors of her being with child. Swift told Blender Magazine earlier this year that she is still a virgin (good for her!), and based on what she wrote on her blog, I'd say that's still the case.

Taylor wrote:

"I read a very creative rumor this morning saying I'm pregnant, which is the most impossible thing on the planet. Take my word for it. Impossible."

So, unless it's some sort of, well, miracle, she's not having a baby.

Toby Keith Shaves His Armpits

This is when it wouldn't be so fun being a celebrity's kid. When you're maybe innocently surfing the internet, looking for cheats for PlayStation or pictures of Smurfs and you happen to come upon a headline like "Toby Keith Shaves His Armpits."

That's exactly what Keith's kids, Shelley, Krystal and Stelen might be up against, since People.com is reporting that the country singer recently told the Washington Post that he shaves his armpits.

But Keith doesn't stop there. "On those summer tours, you get so hot and sweaty. You just want to shave your head and get down like a swimmer, you know what I mean?"

And then, just when you were hoping that he was done talking, Keith said to the male reporter, "You don't have a man-crush, do you? You want to know if I shave anything else?"

Toby's kids are probably cringing right about now. And I thought it was bad when my dad tried to show my fifth grade teacher his abscessed tooth.

Is Taylor Swift Pregnant?

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 16:20:00 GMT

Rumors are circulating that 18-year-old country music star Taylor Swift is pregnant. And while I can't verify those rumors, I can tell you that I've seen it reported on some very impressive looking websites that have really colorful logos and use lots of exclamation points in their headlines. So when they say, "Taylor Swift is Pregnant!!!!!" you can see why I would believe it.

Swift did finally confirm that she was dating Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers this past summer, and in interviews this week she talked about their painful breakup and the phone call that ended it all. “Yeah, it's not fun—it was a 27-second phone call," she told E! News.

"It's been tough," she told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show. "You just have to try to realize someday you'll find someone that's right for you."

But is she pregnant? And if she is, is Joe Jonas the father?!!!!! I'll see what I can find out!!!!!!!

Darius Rucker Jams With Country and Fatherhood

Karl Erikson — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 18:59:00 GMT

Darius Rucker was a rock star. Well, he was in Hootie and the Blowfish, at any rate. But now, Darius has made a huge switch over to country music with his album "Learn to Live" and switched over to a slower lifestyle, as well.

These days, Darius is a father. No more hard-core party days for this man. "I want to coach my little kids' football team and go to dance recitals," he says. "There was a time I wanted to be on the road all the time, being a rock star. I have different priorities in life."

God knows why, but Darius loves the country music...he says it's because of the "storytelling element." He was even inspired by his children on the new album. The song "It Won't Be Like This For Long" was written for his two daughters, ages 13 and 7. He's also arranging for his youngest's guitar lessons.

"My kids have to play an instrument," he laughs. "But trust me, I'm not going to teach my kids how to be a guitar player. I'm going to let someone else teach them."

Mindy McCready Going Back to the Big House

Karl Erikson — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 21:44:00 GMT

Country singer Mindy McCready is no stranger to trouble. She's been arrested for a variety of reasons in the past: prescription medicine abuse, DUI, identity theft, unlawful imprisonment, violation of probation, battery, resisting arrest...hell, I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. She is, in essence, the perfect country song. She's even attempted suicide.

Now she's going back to jail for another probation violation. The 32-year-old singer and mother of 2-year-old Zander Ryan McCready will voluntarily surrender to Tennessee authorities and sit in a cell for 60 days.

"I am working very hard to put all of this behind me," Mindy said, "so I can get back to what I like to do most: sing, write songs, and entertain. I would like to thank my fans for their unwavering support as I continue to work on my recovery and to regain custody of my precious son, Zander."

Oh, hon, you're entertaining all right. Just not in a good way. But I'm sure of this...you're PERFECT for the country music industry.

In Memorium: Remembering Celebrities We Lost This Summer

trix — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 22:02:00 GMT

George Carlin (June 22)

George Carlin was one of those guys that didn't care what anybody thought of him. He fought against censorship on TV and satirized the excesses of American living. Along with his foul-mouthedness, he lent his voice to such children's programs as "Thomas the Tank Engine" and the movie Cars. George Carlin was also the first person to host Saturday Night Live. He was a father and a grandpa.

Dr. Randy Pausch (July 25)

Randy Pausch knew he was dying and wanted to leave a legacy for his children. He put his heart and soul and everything he learned about life into a lecture, the Last Lecture. He wanted his children to know what kind of man he was and what kind of people he hoped they would grow into. The rest of caught a glimpse of a genius, a loving brave man and it made us all the better. Your children will always remember you, as will we.

Bernie Mac (August 9th)

First there were the text messages, then the rumors on the internet about Bernie Mac dying. It was all untrue, Bernie Mac Was Expected To Recover. He didn't. Bernie Mac, a very funny man and well loved movie and television actor, died. It was on Saturday, August 9th, that the world lost Bernie Mac. He will always be remembered!

Isaac Hayes (August 10th)

Isaac Hayes was probably best known to the world for the theme from Shaft, and his voice over work as Chef on "South Park." However, he was also a father to 12 children and had 14 grandchildren. Isaac Hayes Died one day after his friend and co-star Bernie Mac. We will be able to see Isaac Hayes on the big screen in the movie Soul Men which is due out later this year.

Andre Young, Jr. (August 23rd)

We all probably know Dr. Dre better than we know his son, but his loss is our loss as well. Andre was just 20-years-old when he was found dead. Andre will be missed by his family and fans. His tragic loss will leave unknown his potential and what he could have accoplished in life. There were over 2,000 mourners at his funeral. Such a sad thing when someone dies so young.

photo

Those we lost will always be missed for who they were and for what they represented. Free speech, great comedy, great music and their inspiring words. They will live on in the memories of their families and each one of us.

We also had two crazy rumors, this summer, about people dying. There was a text messaged rumor that Lil Wayne's daughter died in a car accident as well as a rumor that Dolly Parton was dead.

Lil Wayne's Daughter Reginae "nae nae"

There was a text message rumor that Reginae, the daughter of Lil' Wayne died in a car accident. She is alive and well, but that was a crazy couple of days, before Lil' Wayne made a statement about her being alive. His supporters showed care and concern about his daughters welfare. I am glad she is alive and we were able to put the rumor to bed.

Dolly Parton

I am not certain what started this rumor, but Dolly too, is alive and well and in great health. The rumor was that she suffered congestive heart failure, and was similar to the rumors that precluded Bernie Mac's death.

Thank you, FameCrawler readers, for the kind words and concerns you shared for these individuals and their families. Hopefully we won't have to cover loss again any time soon.

Dolly Parton Speaks - I Guess That Means She's Not Dead

Sassy Smith — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:39:00 GMT

After rumors of her death, Dolly Parton fans went nuts, upset that their beloved country music star went to the Grande Ole Opry in the sky. However, seeing as Dolly Parton herself spoke to Nashville television station WKRN, I'm guessing she's alive and well. Dolly said:

"I'm fine. I did about have a heart attack when I found out I was dead. But I am feeling better than ever." There you have it - the woman is alive and kickin'. I'm sure her family is relieved.

Other music stars have been reported as "dead" too - Paul McCartney, Chet Atkins and Mark Twain.

Parton is working on her debut of the 9 to 5 stage production in Los Angeles.

Is Dolly Parton Dead?

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 19:01:00 GMT

Is Dolly Parton dead? Rumors are swirling today that the country music legend has died of congestive heart failure. While several sources attribute Fox News as the source, there are no stories on Fox's website pertaining to the rumor.

Pete Owens, Dolly Parton's public relations agent, denied the reports early this morning saying that Parton was "alive and well," and that he believes the rumors started when a local football team erroneously reported Parton's death during a football game. However, he stated that Parton has declined to make a formal statement.

Although Parton performed at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles on August 8 and appeared in perfect health, one news outlet points out the fact that rumors of Parton's death are eerily similar to those that preceded the death of actor Bernie Mac earlier this month. Mac died on August 9 after days of speculation about the severity of his illness.

Rumors, whether they prove to be true or not, must be difficult for family members to hear. Parton and husband Carl Dean have no children of their own, but the couple have raised several of Dolly's younger siblings in their Nashville home. Parton is also the godmother of singer Miley Cyrus.

Let's hope the rumors about Parton's death prove to be false. We'll keep you updated.

Jewel and Ty Murray: Married and...Expecting?

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 18:05:00 GMT

People magazine is reporting that singer Jewel and her longtime boyfriend, rodeo champ Ty Murray, eloped to the Bahamas Thursday and were married in a private ceremony. I think she's pregnant, and here's my totally unsubstantiated, but highly logical and probable reason:

Jewel and Murray have been together for ten years, and she said a recent interview that she was in no rush to wed. "We don't know if there's a point – we've lapped our friends who've gotten married and divorced."

But then Jewel goes on to say, "We probably would if we had kids – we're just not sure we want them yet."

And there's your smoking gun! Expect a denial from her rep soon, then a 'no comment' and then lots of pictures of Jewel wearing big tops and carrying a huge purse.

Carnie Wilson's Lifelong Struggle

trix — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 21:17:00 GMT

Carnie Wilson is a regular kind of girl with the same kinds of problems that the rest of us have.

Carnie has had a lifelong battle with her weight. She has gained and lost and gained and lost throughout her life but now she's on the path to keeping it off. After having her baby she gained the weight back and climed back up to 208 pounds but has recently shed 17 ponds since June 23. Carnie says she lost weight while doing her new CMT show, Outsiders' Inn. She lost the weight by following a strict regimen of diet and exercise and even though she cooked a lot of food for her co-stars, she says that she would taste and spit to get the flavor but didn't want to stray from her healthy path.

Carnie said that she wants to lose 35 more pounds, because she's "feeling so good, very energetic (and) I want to get pregnant [again]." She also has plans to start a clothing line for plus sized women. she feels that she has great ideas that women will be happy and relieved about, and has great input because she has been all sizes.

Great Job Carnie, If only we all had that kind of commitment and self-control.

Sara Evans Wedding Photo

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 23:58:00 GMT

(UPDATE: Obviously, this is not Sara Evans and Jay Barker. We were asked to take the photo down for copyright reasons. You can see the actual photo here on the People website. In the meantime enjoy this photo taken by someone who thinks that dressing up animals in wedding garb is hi-larious.)

Here is a first look at Sara Evans' and Jay Barker's wedding photo. Actually, it's a second look - People magazine got to it first. I would have had first dibs, but Sara and Jay didn't accept my offer of twelve dollars and a bag of used CDs.

The couple were married on Saturday evening on a Tennessee farm in front of family, friends and the couple's seven children - Evans' son Avery, 8, and daughters Olivia, 5, and Audrey, 3 and Barker's kids Andrew, 9, Braxton, 8, and twins Sarah Ashlee and Harrison, 6.

Evans tells People that the day after the wedding they were back home, grilling steaks and watching movies together. "We wanted this week to be just us together as a family because next week we go on our honeymoon," she said. "We just want to relish every moment as a family."

Sara Evans: It's A Nice Day For A White Wedding

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 12:35:00 GMT

Make that a nice evening for an off-white wedding (apologies to Billy Idol.) Country singer Sara Evans, wearing an ivory silk taffeta gown by Vera Wang, married former University of Alabama quarterback Jay Barker on Saturday night.

Evans was walked down the aisle by her 8-year-old son Avery with the couple's seven children (Evans has three and Barker has four) serving as bridesmaids and groomsmen. The short ceremony featured Nashville songwriter Marcus Hummon singing "God Bless the Broken Road," which seems like an odd song for a wedding, but I've never heard it so what the hell do I know.

The couple, who met last year, announced their engagement in March. Evans' bitter split with Craig Schelske after 13-years of marriage made headlines in late 2006 when the two hurled accusations of infidelity at each other while Evans was a contestant on Dancing With the Stars. Evans also accused Schelske of being addicted to porn and exposing it to their children.

I guess I see what they mean by the 'broken road.' Here's hoping Evans finds happiness with new husband Jay Barker.

Pro Fisherman John Crews Nets Catch, Won't Throw Back

Whit Honea — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 12:03:00 GMT

FishingWorld has announced that Bassmaster Elite Series pro John Crews is a new father. His wife, Sonja Crews, gave birth to a baby girl, Myah Jane Crews, last week.

My instinct here is to make fun of pro fishermen the way I make fun of NASCAR. Some things just don't seem like sports. They seem like boring things that anyone can do, but with southern accents and television contracts with CMT. I'm not going to follow my instinct. I'm a pro blogger, and really what's the difference? Instead of sitting in a boat all day waiting for something to bite I sit at a computer all day waiting for someone to bite and/or be bitten. Basically, I'm like a fisherman that can read. I even like Bass (the beer).

Congrats Crews family.
