Come February 1’st you can get a whole lot more of the JaneDear Girls as they release their self-titled debut album. You can catch the girls live this spring as they open for Jason Aldean on tour!
Reports are in that Taylor and Jake are no longer dating. Taylor Swift may have a few more songs in her book about love lost, but something tells me this time they’ll be even more discreet. Taylor’s relationship to actor Jake Gyllenhaal may have ended, but the impression left behind is that this one was more mature than her pop-icon-dating-past. Apparently it was a combination of media attention and the vast difference in their ages that prompted Jake to cool the burners on their quick romance.
Kellie Pickler ties the knot in a private ceremony on New Years Day. Tis’ the season for country weddings as Kellie Pickler enjoyed an intimate wedding ceremony, joining her to Kyle Jacobs, in a private affair in the carribean. The ceremony was attended by close family and friends, and came just 6 short months after their engagement. Congratulations to the newlyweds! Kellie joins Shania Twain in the list of New Years Nuptuals so far.
Alan Jackson surprises Zac Brown with an amazing Christmas Gift! Zac Brown was no less than shocked when Alan Jackson showed up at a Nashville concert and presented him with the keys to a 1966 white Cadillac El Dorado convertible. The classic car was a special gift from Alan for being featured on Zac’s current single “As She’s Walking Away”.
Tim McGraw announces the launch of his 2011 Emotional Traffic Tour! Tim McGraw is heading back on the road and taking The Band Perry and Luke Bryan with him! Tickets for the Emotional Traffic Tour go onsale next weekend. I predict this to be one of the top-selling tours of 2011, given the amount of buzz behind Tim’s current hit “It Felt Good on my Lips“. If you can’t wait for the tour to catch a little Tim, check him out this weekend in “Country Strong” with Gwenyth Paltrow which hits theaters on Friday.
Country music vixen, Shania Twain, marries Frederic Thiebaud in Puerto Rico on New Year’s Day. Shania Twain married fiance Frederic Thiebaud in a private beach ceremony in beautiful Peurto Rico on Saturday afternoon. It is interesting to note that Shania’s former husband, Mutt Lang, had an affair with Frederic’s ex-wife, which is how both Shania and Frederic ended up single in the first place. How bout them apples? Either way, I hope the newlyweds have a long and happy marriage.
