Brad Paisley Not The Only Country Star Pursued By American Idol

  • Print

Still no official word on whether Brad Paisley is in discussions with American Idol to be a judge in the new season. There is a lot of talk about it on the internet. But, we do know that one country superstar was approached and turned down the offer. Toby Keith said he was flattered by the idea that Nygel Lythgoe wanted him on the panel but he wasn't interested. That does give some fuel to the story that Brad is being considered. Looks like AI knows that a country judge would be an asset to the show. Auditions for the new season are underway. The auditions will be in Nashville on September 12th. Just so happens Brad is scheduled to be in Nashville on that day. Hmmm....maybe there will be an announcement around that time.

A lot of speculation that Taylor Swift has been writing songs about her parent's crumbling marriage. Earlier this year Taylor said her next album would include songs about "earth-shattering, absolute crash-and-burn heartbreak." At the time we assumed she was referring to another one of her busted-up relationships. But Taylor's mom and dad, Andrea and Scott, are splitting up after almost 25 years of marriage. If this is true it could, sadly, force Taylor to create music that will transcend her teenybopper past. Divorce is certainly the most mature theme she's ever tackled.

 

Kenny Chesney is adapting to having his new friend ‘Pancho’ on the tour bus with him this summer. Seems ‘Pancho’ has a desire to chew up things like a bottle of the menthol vaporizer liquid. Kenny uses a vaporizer every day to keep his voice performance ready. "On my bus I actually have this vaporizer humidifier that I breath on my bus all the time to help me open up my head and stuff so I can sing at night." Kenny then explains ‘Pancho’ tore into his bottle of vaporizing steam and annihilated this box and this bottle, it was a wonder it didn’t kill the little guy [but] my bus smelled like this vaporizing steam."
