There are a few nights of the week I wait for – Monday is one of them. That’s because I’ll get to see Dancing with the Stars again. After a long day at work, I love coming home, kicking my shoes off, propping up my little feet and watching that show.</p> <p>And of course I’ll have to watch on Tuesday, because that’s when we get to see who got kicked off the show. Sorry, I mean voted off. <img alt="smile_regular" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://spaces.live.com/rte/emoticons/smile_regular.gif"/> But this week, it’s also the night we’ll get to see Rascal Flatts perform their new single, “Here Comes Goodbye”. The boys were on the show last year, too, when they sang “Life Is A Highway.”</p> <p>Here’s a clip of <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.myspace.com/juliannehough" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Julianne</strong></font></a> and Chuck getting ready for Monday nights competition. I really think it must be easier for them to practice and work together, since they are a couple.</p> <div class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:22cb0ecc-a529-4410-8dfb-655775b91a8e" style="padding-right: 0px; display: block; padding-left: 0px; float: none; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px auto; width: 425px; padding-top: 0px"> <div><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" style="display:block;margin:0" width="425" height="445" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339oe_/http://www.kyte.tv/flash.swf?v=2&uri=channels/79356&tbid=k_3883" flashvars="uri=channels/79356&tbid=k_3883&p=ls"></embed></div> </div> <p> </p> <p> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/2009/04/rascal-flats-on-dwts-tuesday-night-last-year-for-julianne/#more-3431" class="more-link">Read the rest of this entry »</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="post-wrapper"> <div class="date"> <span class="month">Apr</span> <span class="day">11</span> </div> <div style="float: right; width: 592px; clear: right; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-top: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"> <span class="titles"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/2009/04/toby-pulls-out-of-new-movie-with-hillary-duff/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Toby pulls out of new movie with Hillary Duff">Toby pulls out of new movie with Hillary Duff</a></span> <div><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/themes/pureflowers/images/icon1.gif" alt="icon1"/> country | <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/themes/pureflowers/images/icon2.gif" alt="icon2"/> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/category/interview/" title="View all posts in Interview" rel="category tag">Interview</a>, <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/category/movies/" title="View all posts in Movies" rel="category tag">Movies</a>, <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/category/tours/" title="View all posts in Tours" rel="category tag">Tours</a> | <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/themes/pureflowers/images/icon4.gif" alt="icon4"/> 04 11th, 2009<strong>|</strong> <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/themes/pureflowers/images/icon3.gif" alt="icon3"/><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/2009/04/toby-pulls-out-of-new-movie-with-hillary-duff/#respond" title="Comment on Toby pulls out of new movie with Hillary Duff">No Comments »</a></div> </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <div align="justify" class="post"> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/tobyacm.jpg"><img title="Toby ACM" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="244" alt="Toby ACM" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/tobyacm-thumb.jpg" width="142" align="left" border="0"/></a> Back on Feb. 26, 2009, I put up a little article about the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.starnewsonline.com/article/20090223/ARTICLES/902230269/1177?Title=Hilary-Duff-Toby-Keith-film-Provinces-sets-up-Wilmington-office" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#0000ff">movie</font></strong></a>, “Provinces of Night”, a new movie to be filmed in Wilmington, N.C., with <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.tobykeith.com/" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#0000ff">Toby Keith</font></strong></a>, Kris Kristofferson, and Hillary Duff.

Although this wasn’t stated as something definite, Toby did say that he thinks Val Kilmer and Dwight Yoakam will replace Kris Kristofferson and him in the new movie. Hillary Duff will remain in the cast.</p> <p>Am I the only one who wanted to see another Toby Movie? I liked Broken Bridges, and Beer For My Horses was pretty much what I thought it would be. For sure Toby always looks great on the big screen.</p> <p> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/2009/04/toby-pulls-out-of-new-movie-with-hillary-duff/#more-3414" class="more-link">Read the rest of this entry »</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="post-wrapper"> <div class="date"> <span class="month">Apr</span> <span class="day">10</span> </div> <div style="float: right; width: 592px; clear: right; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-top: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"> <span class="titles"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/2009/04/a-personal-note/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to A personal note….">A personal note….</a></span> <div><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/themes/pureflowers/images/icon1.gif" alt="icon1"/> country | <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/themes/pureflowers/images/icon2.gif" alt="icon2"/> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/category/uncategorized/" title="View all posts in Uncategorized" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a> | <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/themes/pureflowers/images/icon4.gif" alt="icon4"/> 04 10th, 2009<strong>|</strong> <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/themes/pureflowers/images/icon3.gif" alt="icon3"/><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/2009/04/a-personal-note/#respond" title="Comment on A personal note….">No Comments »</a></div> </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <div align="justify" class="post"> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/erwinfire035copy.jpg"><img title="Erwin Fire 035 - Copy" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="165" alt="Erwin Fire 035 - Copy" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/erwinfire035copy-thumb.jpg" width="244" align="left" border="0"/></a> I just got back from a quick trip down town, where I grabbed a few photos of the burned out building across the street from my office. Crews are there now starting to tear the building down, and hopefully they will let us back in to work on Monday (or even before, since there’s a lot of catching up to do). </p> <p>But here are a few pictures of the reason we were evacuated. You see that little short building across from that huge burned out shell? That’s The Erwin Record, where I work. And, since they didn’t know if the building might collapse on it’s own (and land on us), we’re outta there for a while.</p> <p>Here’s a few more pictures of the building, and the demolition taking place in downtown Erwin. </p> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/erwinfire013.jpg"><img title="Erwin Fire 013" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="165" alt="Erwin Fire 013" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/erwinfire013-thumb.jpg" width="244" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/erwinfire011.jpg"><img title="Erwin Fire 011" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="165" alt="Erwin Fire 011" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/erwinfire011-thumb.jpg" width="244" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/erwinfire032.jpg"><img title="Erwin Fire 032" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="244" alt="Erwin Fire 032" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/erwinfire032-thumb.jpg" width="165" border="0"/></a> </p> <p>I’ll talk to you guys later.

I want another girl somewhere to feel good in it and have a great prom night because of this dress.” Taylor’s dress was sold at the organization’s first celebrity dress auction, and went for $1,200. Miley Cyrus also donated a dress to the celebrity event.</p> <p>Taylor has been making music history every since she released her debut single, “Tim McGraw.” She is the only female artist in country music who has ever written or co-written every single on a platinum selling debut album. She has been on tours with Rascal Flatts, George Strait and Kenny Chesney, as well as Brad Paisley, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. And of course, she’s now headlining her own tours, and her  MySpace page that draws more views than anyone.</p> <p> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/2009/04/a-little-taylor-swift-news/#more-3407" class="more-link">Read the rest of this entry »</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="post-wrapper"> <div class="date"> <span class="month">Apr</span> <span class="day">9</span> </div> <div style="float: right; width: 592px; clear: right; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-top: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"> <span class="titles"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/2009/04/george-strait-honored-as-acm-artist-of-the-decade-event-to-be-televised-in-may/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to George Strait honored as ACM Artist of the Decade – Event to be televised in May">George Strait honored as ACM Artist of the Decade – Event to be televised in May</a></span> <div><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/themes/pureflowers/images/icon1.gif" alt="icon1"/> country | <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/themes/pureflowers/images/icon2.gif" alt="icon2"/> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/category/news/" title="View all posts in News" rel="category tag">News</a>, <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/category/tv-appearence/" title="View all posts in TV Appearence" rel="category tag">TV Appearence</a> | <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/themes/pureflowers/images/icon4.gif" alt="icon4"/> 04 9th, 2009<strong>|</strong> <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/themes/pureflowers/images/icon3.gif" alt="icon3"/><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/2009/04/george-strait-honored-as-acm-artist-of-the-decade-event-to-be-televised-in-may/#respond" title="Comment on George Strait honored as ACM Artist of the Decade – Event to be televised in May">No Comments »</a></div> </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <div align="justify" class="post"> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/gstrait.jpg"><img title="GStrait" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="244" alt="GStrait" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/gstrait-thumb.jpg" width="211" align="left" border="0"/></a> The Academy of Country Music awards show was just on four days ago, and I could sit down and watch another three hours of country music entertainment already. Anyone else who is as anxious as I am to see another super show isn’t going to have to wait too long.</p> <p>On April 6, a host of country music’s biggest stars gathered in Las Vegas to honor <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.myspace.com/georgestrait" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#0000ff">George Strait</font></strong></a> as the ACM Artist of the Decade. The show will air on CBS on May 27. The entertainers on hand to honor George included Faith Hill, Toby Keith, Keith Urban, Taylor Swift, Sugarland, Brooks and Dunn, Alan Jackson, Jamie Foxx, Miranda Lambert, Montgomery Gentry, LeeAnn Rimes, Blake Shelton, Lee Ann Womack, John Rich, and Jack Ingram. Oh yes, and Tim McGraw.</p> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/tim.jpg"><img title="Tim" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="244" alt="Tim" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/tim-thumb.jpg" width="191" align="right" border="0"/></a> I really need to mention this again, because since Tim did not appear on the ACM’s on Sunday night, I have had literally hundreds of people arriving on Country’s Chatter because they “googled” Tim McGraw CMA… or Why wasn’t Tim McGraw at the CMAs… or CMA Tim McGraw.</p> <p>First of all guys, this wasn’t the CMA (Country Music Association) awards, it was the ACM (Academy of Country Music) awards. (The CMA’s are in November). And secondly, I hope you weren’t disappointed when you put in your google inquiries and ended up on days when I posted things like “Tim McGraw not nominated for CMA award… or Tim McGraw to participate in CMA Music Festival”…. or other posts that put the words Tim McGraw and CMA in the same article.</p> <p>But if there actually is anyone on the planet who really hasn’t heard about why Tim did not perform at the ACM awards (even though I mentioned this a few days ago)… here it is again.</p> <p> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/2009/04/george-strait-honored-as-acm-artist-of-the-decade-event-to-be-televised-in-may/#more-3401" class="more-link">Read the rest of this entry »</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="post-wrapper"> <div class="date"> <span class="month">Apr</span> <span class="day">8</span> </div> <div style="float: right; width: 592px; clear: right; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-top: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"> <span class="titles"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/2009/04/the-end-of-jessica-simpsons-country-music-career/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to The end of Jessica Simpson’s country music ‘career’?">The end of Jessica Simpson’s country music ‘career’?</a></span> <div><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/themes/pureflowers/images/icon1.gif" alt="icon1"/> country | <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/themes/pureflowers/images/icon2.gif" alt="icon2"/> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/category/news/" title="View all posts in News" rel="category tag">News</a> | <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/themes/pureflowers/images/icon4.gif" alt="icon4"/> 04 8th, 2009<strong>|</strong> <img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/themes/pureflowers/images/icon3.gif" alt="icon3"/><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/2009/04/the-end-of-jessica-simpsons-country-music-career/#respond" title="Comment on The end of Jessica Simpson’s country music ‘career’?">No Comments »</a></div> </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <div align="justify" class="post"> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.jessicasimpson.com/" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#0000ff"><img title="JSimp" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="244" alt="JSimp" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/jsimp.png" width="228" align="left" border="0"/> Jessica Simpson</font></strong></a> is no longer a country singer. Which might raise the question…. was she ever? But, that’s a debate for another time. As for right now, new is that she’s no longer with Sony Nashville.  I’m very confused about all this – but apparently a spokesperson for Jessica told FOX News that “Jessica is and has always been an Epic artist. She was on loan to Sony Nashville for her country album. She continues to be on Epic’s label.”</p> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/jessica.jpg"><img title="jessica" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="144" alt="jessica" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090416072339im_/http://www.countryschatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/jessica-thumb.jpg" width="92" align="right" border="0"/></a> Why does that strike me as unusual? Do other artists do that, and I just wasn’t aware of it? Is it like … “I think I’ll try country for a while, find me a temporary label.” I guess we’ll all just have to wait and see what she releases next. I assume there’s a pop album in her future, but who knows. (By the way, is she still hanging out with that football player?)</p> <p>Jessica’s information (including her artist bio and page) is no longer available on Columbia Nashville or Sony Nashville web sites.
