A COUNTRY VIDEO DEBUTS ON ESPN?

Yep. It’s Kenny Chesney’s video for “The Boys of Fall,” which is of course about football, so it makes sense that there would be a sports connection. You can catch your first glimpse of the video on ESPN at noon on Monday. Then there’s also an 8 minute film that Kenny made featuring interviews with a bunch of football stars that will debut on Tuesday.

IT’S A GIRL, AND A NEW LABEL

Rascal Flatts got together yesterday to make 2 announcements, and depending on your outlook, one was way bigger than the other. If you are a music biz person, then it was a huge deal to learn that RF has left Lyric Street records after 10-plus years to join Big Machine. This is a huge deal for several reasons, but mainly because a few years back, Big Machine was a small deal in Nashville. Then the owner, Scott Borchetta, signed a girl named Taylor Swift and everything changed very quickly. Now he’s got Taylor, Reba and Rascal Flatts on his label, which officially makes him The Man.

Secondly, if you’re keeping track of the country baby boom, you’ll be excited to hear that the last Flatt to replicate, Jay DeMarcus, says that the baby on the way is a girl! Weird country baby trivia: Jay’s wife has a sister named Amy, who is married to James Otto, and who is also expecting a girl. So the girls will be little country star cousins!

OOOPS! LUKE MESSES UP KENNY’S SONG

HIS HOME WAS WRECKED, AND NOW A COUNTRY STAR IS TAKING HIM IN!

I’m talking about Eddie Cibrian, and yes, I am being a little bit snarky. According to People, LeAnn Rimes’ boyfriend has moved in to her house, which means that his two boys will also be living there part of the time as he has partial custody. LeAnn’s spokseperson says “they’re excited for this happy new journey.” Why am I still so judgemental? I guess because kids are involved, and the whole “two houses” thing is a very delicate matter that probably shouldn’t be talked about or spun by a spokesperson. However, I probably need to move on and start judging someone else. By the way, LeAnn quit Twitter for a while, but now she has returned to chat about stuff like this and give her side of the story. Like this tweet: “”Of all the rumors reported in the last 48 hours, People got it right! Thx for fairly and honestly reporting private, but happy news!”

IF A STALKER BECOMES FAMOUS, IS IT STILL STALKING?

Amy's Country Tidbits — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:42:22 +0000

Stalking is a very serious issue, and celebrities are often the victims. But what if the stalker becomes a celebrity? Josh Turner was a big, huge Randy Travis fan when he was a kid. So much so that he took a little trip to Randy’s home of Marshville, NC, just to see if he could catch a glimpse of his idol. He cruised the streets, drove by Randy’s dad’s house, and finally settled for meeting a woman who had lived next door to Randy and had a nice big autographed poster in her living room. Then many years later, when Josh himself was famous, he confessed all to Randy. And as you might expect, Randy was a little shocked, but really, who would mind if Josh came knocking?

BABY # 3 FOR JOSH!

Amy's Country Tidbits — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:21:58 +0000

Whoa. Seriously, country stars, what’s up with the crazy breeding these days? Josh turner now joins the list of country stars expecting babies right now. Josh says wife, Jennifer, was acting different (Read: crazy, if I know anything about hormones). So he talked her into taking a pregnancy test, and even though the first one was negative, he didn’t believe it, and he was right! Baby #3 is due in early 2011, and will join 3 year old Hampton and 1 year old Colby. So let’s see: Baby # 3 for Josh, #2 for Dierks, Joe Don Rooney, and Luke Bryan. And Baby # 1 for James Otto. Who’s next?

WYNONNA IN HEAD-ON COLLISION

Amy's Country Tidbits — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 16:48:14 +0000

She’s fine, she says, but Wynonna Judd, her daughter and her manager were all in a head-on crash in Salt Lake City last week while on their way to a sushi dinner. Wy says she can’t go into details (law suits? complications?) but that they are all fine and grateful to be alive, even if they’re a bit scratched and bruised. She had to have a CAT scan, but was judged to be OK enough to keep touring. She was on stage and good to go in Medofrd over the weekend so I guess she must be fine.

HOW TAYLOR PICKED TOBY

Amy's Country Tidbits — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 16:45:47 +0000

Toby Hemingway, the guy who stars in Taylor Swift’s new video for “Mine,” is not exactly a household name, so how did Taylor decide it was Toby she wanted to “marry”? She saw him in a movie called “Feast of Love,” which by the way was filmed right here in Oregon. I never saw it, and I’m guessing it wasn’t a huge hit since it was filmed here (there’s a curse, you see.) But now I think I want to rent it and check out Toby, who Taylor has been seen lunching with recently. So back to Taylor…she says that what sealed the Toby deal was when she rented another movie he was in called “Covenant” to check him out further. He strolled onto the screen in a sweatshirt with Taylor’s lucky number, 13, right there on his chest. T-Swizz says she was sold the minute she saw that.

WELCOME HOME, CARRIE. NOW UNDO IT.

Great news for Carrie Underwood as she returns from her honeymoon with new hubby Mike Fisher: Her current single has hit #1, and that means that all 13 of her singles that she’s ever released have gone to the top of the charts. The funny thing is that her current big hit is “Undo It”. Not exactly the most romantic song I can think of!
