No-No. Leave Dolly Alone.

Country music star Dolly Parton has thrown a punch back against Howard Stern's satellite radio show, which last week manipulated recordings from one of her audio books into seemingly racist and sexually graphic sound bites. Now why on Earth would anyone want to mess with Dolly? She's one of the nicest celebrities in the business. I mean, I know Howard Stern makes stuff up for shock and a laugh...and it's all in good fun, but Dolly? Poor Dolly.

Dolly Parton released this statement:

"I have never been so shocked, hurt and humiliated in all my life,"

"I cannot believe what Howard Stern has done to me. In a blue million years, I would never have such vulgar things come out of my mouth. They have done editing or some sort of trickery to make this horrible, horrible thing. Please accept my apology for them and certainly know I had nothing to do with this."

"If there was ever going to be a lawsuit, it's going to be over this. Just wanted you to know that I am completely devastated by this."

If you want to know what the hub-bub is all about, I don't want to embed the clip here, however you can listen if you want here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grEx37St_XM

I say bury his ass in the court room Miss Dolly.

Add Another To Splitsville U.S.A.

Shania Twain and her producer husband Robert "Mutt" Lang are splitting after 14 years of marriage. Shania's publicist, Jason Owen, released the following media statement today:

"Shania Twain and her husband, music producer Robert 'Mutt' Lange, are separating after 14 years of marriage. This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time."

Wow, whose bed have your boots been under? Maybe they just got sick of each other. Maybe we'll never know why they split. So sad.

Who Will Be The Next American Idol?

One thing's certain: The winner of Season 7 of American Idol will be named David. But will it be Archuleta or Cook? It's too close to call, with the race perhaps even tighter than the last all-male finale, Ruben vs. Clay. Weigh in with your predictions. Who are you gonna choose America?

Death Cab For Cutie "Narrow Stairs"

Death Cab's last album Plans got me through one of the hardest points in my life. I can't listen to the song "Sara said" without getting teary eyed even now. Because of this, I have been anxiously awaiting their new album which dropped on May 13th Narrow Stairs. I haven't gotten to my local record store to pick it up yet (yes, I am old school like that...I hate digital tracks, and I still buy vinyl. Better sound quality is always worth it for me...look for a review soon though!) but I got a little taste today and thought I'd share it with all of you! Here's Death Cab For Cutie's "I Will Possess Your Heart":

New Weezer!! Listen to this!

Is anyone else as excited as I am about Weezer's new album that's coming out June 3rd? Weezer always equals quality goods my friends. Here's "Pork and Beans" off of Weezer (Red Album):

Fantasia on American Idol last night

Hmmm...DISCUSS!

American Idol - Who moves on to the final two?

Who do you think will move on to the final two?  Tonight on American Idol we will find out who will be battling it out in the finals.  I personally would like to see Syesha Mercado and David Archuleta go head to head... I'm very bored with David Cook and I personally find him to be a bit arrogant. What do you think?  Even though I want Syesha to go on to the final two I have a feeling we are going to see a show down between the two David's.  Check out the results tonight at 9/8c.

Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo in Splitsville?

According to TheseBootsAreMadeforStalking.com, the football player, Tony Romo, spent a rowdy weekend in Chicago with several college friends where he allegedly admitted that he and Jessica Simpson had ended their relationship.

Maybe it was that interview in "Glamour" when Jessica professed her love and how Tony was her "future husband". A lot of pressure to put on a guy you've been dating less and a year and hasn't put a ring on that finger. Not to mention the added pressure on Jessica since her little sister Ashlee is about to walk down the aisle. Poor thing...

Guess we'll see how this plays out...bet'cha there's a lot of Cowboys fans out there that are celebrating though. At least there won't be any more of THIS grossness...eww:

How Mariah met her handsome hubby...

Why, in music video land of course! Here's her new video for bye-bye, and where she met her new hubby:

So sad...

An Evening with Dolly Parton

I recently got the chance to go see the biggest country diva in the world - Dolly Parton when she stopped through Atlanta on her tour to help promote her new album Backwoods Barbie.  Her concert "An Evening with Dolly Parton" is worth every penny you will spend on the ticket.  She sang her biggest hits like "Here You Come Again", "9 to 5", "Jolene" "Coat of Many Colors" "Two Doors Down" and of course "I Will Always Love You" just to name a few, not to mention she let us have a great sampling from her new album Backwoods Barbie.  Not only did she sing she entertained, which can't be said for some preformers that are half her age.  I loved how she not only got up there to preform the numbers but then shared story's about her songs, joked about plastic surgery, her recent back troubles and about how she grew up.  Dolly is a true performer and we are not likely to see someone with true country roots like her again in our lifetime.  She embodies what every musician, artist and actor should strive to be... real!  Make sure to try and catch one of her upcoming dates which I have listed below and ya'll have fun now ya' hear.

Newer Isn't Always Better

Poor Clay Aiken...he went from nerdy underdog on American Idol, to beloved runner up, to karma chameleon with his hair, to sir-chub in Spamalot, to well...

Clay's new publicity photo came out today...ouch. No matter what you do with the hair honey...until those eyebrows are under control, and you stop using a bottle of foundation on your face (ps: your lips are not supposed to be the same color as the rest of your face...even natural lips have a little pink hon), you're really not doing much for yourself. I'd rather see the geeky guy with glasses and funky hair again. For realz...

What do you guys think of Aiken 3.0?
