Congrats to Kellie Pickler.  People magazine has just announced that she’s engaged to Kyle Jacobs, her boyfriend of more than 2 years.  Kyle popped the question on a Florida beach last week, but what made it extra special for Kellie was that he chose the anniversary of her beloved Grandmother’s death, a day that would normally be sad for her.  Kellie is thrilled, and says that she feels like they have her grandma’s blessing.

I honestly think that if you were going to genetically engineer a human being to go over and entertain the troops overseas, you could do no better than Kellie Pickler.  She’s adorable, she’s funny, she’s smokin’ hot, and she can sing!  So it’s nice that Kellie is currently on her 3rd USO Tour in the Persian Gulf.  Randy Houser and Jamey Johnson are along for the ride, providing some great entertainment as well.

Yesterday I told you about Rascal Flatts’ official statement about their butts, and today Kellie Pickler has done the same thing!  She says that her new year’s resolution is as follows:  “I refuse to let my ass be floppy, saggy or dimpled in 2010.”  Now looking at Kellie in a bikini, I really don’t think she has too far to go in terms of having a perfect body.  But if she wants to get on her treadmill a little more often, that’s fine with me.  She says, in fact, that her treadmill has officially stopped being a clothes rack.

By the way, Kellie will be hitting the road again this holiday season as part of the USO tour. No word on exact details, but she loved the experience last year and she’s excited to do it again this year.
