Who?  Chris Robinson, the lead singer of the band Black Crowes, that’s who.  Does it sound bitter at all to lash out at someone who is at the top of their game when you’re not exactly at the top of yours?  Chris, who used to be married to Kate Hudson and had some hits (mostly in the 90s), says the following:  “I find it embarrassing that adults are like, ‘Taylor Swift is very talented.’   She’s not.  She might be cute, but she’s horrible.”  Okay, maybe I’m sensitive about this because I am one of those adults who goes around saying “Taylor Swift is very talented.”  Why?  Because she is only 20 and she can write hit songs in her SLEEP, that’s why.  Perhaps Chris is reliving one of the titles of his hit songs:  “Jealous Again.”  Good one, am I right?

Has there ever been a video with more hype around it than Taylor Swift’s “Mine,” which debuts tonight on CMT?  If you’ve watched CMT at all this week, you’ve seen the annoying countdown clock in the corner of the screen with Taylor popping up every few seconds to point at it.  Now don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Taylor.  Love her.  But that little countdown thingy has been driving me nuts.  So just in case you have somehow missed out on the huuuuuge announcement, I’ll remind you:  Tonight.  8 o’clock.  Taylor.  “Mine.”  Done.

If Chelsea Handler gets her way, the two performers will meet again for the first time since Kanye interrupted Taylor’s VMA award acceptance speech last year.  SNL tried to do this right after this “earthshattering” event took place, but it never happened.  So now Chelsea, who is a very funny and outspoken talk show host (“Chelsea Lately” on E!), wants to have some fun by reuniting the two a year later.  I’m sure Kanye would be up for it since it would probably make him seem cool and funny, but I think Taylor has moved past this whole thing long ago.  Who knows, though?  I’ll keep you posted.

Yep.  Taylor Swift is the latest member of the Bowling Hall of Fame.  Why?  Because one time she released some pictures of herself and her high profile friends (like Selena Gomez) bowling.  That got her in the running along with Justin Bieber (no clue why), Kim Kardashian (again, no clue), Bill Murray (King Pin) and Jeff Bridges (Big Lebowski).  And of course, anytime anything is fan-voted, Taylor usually wins.  So now she’s a hall of fame bowler.  I could see some hardcore bowling fans, or King Pin fans,  or Lebowski fans, getting a little annoyed by this….will there be a Bowling Backlash?  Stay tuned.

This year it seems like the Teen Choice Awards added more trophies just so they could give more to Taylor Swift.  She got four total, including Female Country Artist, Country Album and Country Song.  Keith Urban managed to beat her out for Male Country Artist, and Lady A for Country Group, but sheesh!  Oh, and her fourth one was the Breakout Female award in the movie category for her role in “Valentine’s Day.”  None of the country acts who won were able to be there (Taylor was in Japan) but they all sent thanks in one way or other.  Here’s Lady A’s thank-you video from London:

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!

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.

This might not be what today's chat looks like, but I'm putting up the picture anyway

Taylor Swift hosts a chat today on this website  at 2 pm our time.  She’ll be taking questions fans have submitted to her on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and all of that.

Technically yes, because she just finished filming a music video in Kennebunk, Maine, playing the role of blushing bride.  The residents of this small town, which also happens to be where the senior Bushes spend most summers, were surprised and excited when the cast and crew arrived and they learned that America’s most famous 20 year old was coming to town.  The church, which was built in 1827, is a classic white chapel, and extras were hired to stand outside and blow bubbles at the “newlyweds.”  Taylor’s mom says the video won’t hit the airwaves for another six months or so.
