    Billy Currington just played in Cleveland at a Rib Burn Off. I had no clue who he was but I think your guess is right. My gaydar was going OFF

    Still waiting for more ZX confirmation...anyone else find it funny that before the reveal, she posted almost every day but now the reveal's been done, poof - no ZX anywhere. Just happens to be in Mexico. Convenient.

    Come on Ent - either explain yourself or come out and say you lied.

    We all know Ent reads the comments. Funny how he hasn't said word ONE about ZX since the reveal.

    If it smells like a fish...

    As for the gay country star, well, pick a hat, any hat...

    According to imdb, Billy Currington was born in Georgia. Can't be him if the blind says he's from the midwest.

    We're not done yet....lol.

  11. Well, it does say that he tries to pass himself off as being from the south. If I had an IMDB listing it could say I was born in Tunisia...doesn't make it true...matter of fact, I might start telling people that...sounds very mysterious and interesting!

    gee, anon 10:22, what is with your obsession with ZX? give it a rest.

    Gay country star? Could it really be true that RZ divorced Kenny Chesney for the reason we all suspected?

    But, wiki does say he's from Tennessee, so that's out...maybe.

    Anon at 10:22.......For God's sake, what kind of confirmation do you want?????? DNA testing???

    If someone had been falsely posting as DS, don't you think she would be suing somebody?

    In short....STFU!

    I think it is Billy Currington too. I just get a whole gay vibe from him and his bio can say anything it wants as to where he grew up.

    Question -

    If the singer is lying about where he's from, why would EL use that as a hint?

    He wouldn't, because we would all think the singer is from the place he says he's from.

    Since EL says the singer is from the midwest - this has to be common knowledge.

    It could be Billy Currington, but this site is pretty in depth about his upbringing. I'll keep looking at some others.

    Rockie Lynn (not sure on the spelling) is from here in Minnesota (definitely chilly, definitely midwest), but that's not really a secret. I don't pay attention to country so haven't pinged my gaydar.

    This BI isn't written by Ent.

    Thanks Anon 11:41 - my bad!

    Okay, let me rephrase that.

    Why would anyone give a hint to a BI that wasn't common knowledge? They wouldn't.

    If the BI says the guy was born in the midwest, then he was born in the midwest (not Georgia) and online sources will indicate that.

    Ok- I'm not psycho- but.... I do "skip tracing" at my job. Someone owes us money, and skips out on it, I trace them (and their bank accounts) down. Just part of my lovely job.

    -Anywho- If you look up Billy Currington, Jason Michael Carroll (I like country, he would have been my guess), Dierks Bentley, Josh Turner all have had legitimate addresses where they state they have grown up, and no shocking midwestern addresses anywhere.

    -Jason Aldean I couldn't find. Even with his parents names- I couldn't find him. His bio's say that he grew up partially in Fla though. So I don't know that he's totally claiming to be a good 'ole boy anyways. Still a possibility!

    -Bucky Covington I couldn't find either, or his twin Rocky- but Bucky is also married (to "Crystal", and NO- I couldn't find her either)

    -I also couldn't find anything on Jake Owen, but he grew up on the beaches of Florida.

    I now feel like an icky pervert looking up all these poor men! I'm going to go shower!

    Anyone else have any ideas? I'll look them up!!

    All I can say about the Bucky Covington guess is -

    Have you heard him speak? He's clearly NOT from the midwest!

    Hee hee! You are correct there! I am curious still about Jason Aldean!

    Never heard of Jason Aldean, but imdb.com says he was born in GA, he's married with one child and one on the way.

    I'm really lousy at anything country. Sorry!!

  27. Having a "southern" accent may be how this BI markets himself as southern and so rarely gets questioned about where he is from.

    (just a guess)

    I don't spend a lot of time thinking about who ZX is or even if she exists, but I would not be surprised if someone in DS's world be it a manager, publicist, lawyer (not EL obviously), parent, or agent told her it it is not a good idea to post details of your life on a gossip blog.

    And it isn't.

    EL can just let this ZX thing slowly die until everybody forgets about it.

    I thought it might be the lead singer of Rascal Flatts, who is from Columbus, OH. But, not really rising star, and wikipedia also says he's married with 2 kids. Columbus isn't a corner either.

    Bad guess.

    Just because you were born someplace doesn't mean you're from there. I was born in Georgia but my family moved to LA when I was less than a year old. I consider myself a Californian, but if I wanted to portray myself as a good ol' Southern girl, I could certainly say I'm from Georgia. So it could be someone born in the south but not raised there.

    Kenny Chesney is definitely from Tennessee - I have family who went to high school with him and who still go to church with the rest of his family.

    Well, the lead singer of Rascal Flatts, Gary LeVox, didn't move away from Columbus until 1997. So...sounds to me like he's FROM Ohio.

    People in Columbus don't have southern accents. I know this, I'm FROM Ohio.

    I don't really think he's the answer though. Just wanted to make that point.
