Blind Item #2
Two more singers are coming forward to tabloids who say this A list country singer said he could get them a record deal if they would sleep with him. Both did and he did not do anything for them at all. Meanwhile, the singer who does have a record deal that he had an affair with is scared out of her mind that she is going to get dropped and somehow come out looking like a horrible person in all of this.
Obvi, Blake Shelton.
ReplyDeleteOh, Blake. :(
ReplyDeleteWho is the singer who worries? Pickler?
ReplyDeleteWhat about the Jason Aldean (or whatever, too lazy to google) that was caught cheating recently?
ReplyDeleteBlake definitely. Have you seen that documentary some country/cable channel made of him where he refers to himself now as one of the movers and shakers in country music? He says that now he decides who and what goes forward in country music...well along the lines of that.
ReplyDeleteI think its all gone to his head. Well, both of them.
I can't even watch him this season. He seems so skeezy. :(
ReplyDeleteI kind of like Bethany's guess of Jason Aldean. I think that this is supposed to point us toward Blake, but I doubt that *every* blind about a country singer is about him.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have trouble believing that Blake can't get women to sleep with him without the lure of a record deal.
His wife needs to stop doing the tab covers. I only know them because everytime I'm at the market Miranda's on US weekly or Kneepads saying how great their marriage is, she's going to regret that.
ReplyDeleteI always start the countdown when a couple proclaims their happiness on the cover of Kneepads. It is just UNCANNY how many jumo the shark just months later.
DeleteI was an avid reader of Kneepads from the very beginning. It used to be so amazing. Not so much anymore. Haven't touched one in years due to the icky feeling it leaves on my hands and in my gut. Kind of like Rupert Sanders greasyucky but in magazine form.
I don't have any sympathy for these women. Next time get a contract made for this arrangement.
ReplyDeleteI love Miranda and I cannot stand Blake. Honey, kick him to the curb! Find another man to go huntin' with! In the words of Jill Conner Browne, they be makin' them thangs ever' day!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Blake's wife knows he cheats; isn't that's how they hooked up?
ReplyDeleteLol AKM! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, y'all simply MUST read Jill's books. High-larious, and the recipes will change your life. Her Chocolate Stuff MIGHT just rival Robin's brownies. (I'm sorry, Robin! Wink wink!0
ReplyDeleteCountry music died when Garth Brooks hit the scene. They should just call it Southern Pop and line dance their way into an open pit.
ReplyDeleteI'd say Willie Nelson is God, but he's too busy gettin high to fight Johnny Cash and Lemmy for the title.
+1
DeleteJohnny Cash was cool as shit, I had the good fortune of living in the same town for a while.
DeleteWe spoke a time or two, but I was young and very intimidated by his huge presence.
Who in the hell is Blake Shelton?
ReplyDelete@Count Jerkula - I never thought I'd agree with you. I'm frightened!
This almost sounds like an episode from "Nashville." Seriously.
ReplyDeleteMy guilty pleasure show!
Delete(Shhhhh, don't let it get out)
@MadLyb: Don't worry. It feels weird and uncomfortable the first time, but after you get used to it, you will enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteOh, Count! You make me giggle from afar.
DeleteI am still impressed that you like Victorian snuff boxes, Count J.
Deleteick, Blake! I really hope it's someone else.
ReplyDeleteBlake
ReplyDeleteTo bad his head has swollen.
Miranda married the dog knowing full well what she was getting into.
The only country acts I could ever stand were The Joe Ely Band and Mary Chapin Carpenter. Probably because The Joe Ely Band was 80% rockabilly songs and 20% country. And Mary Chapin Carpenter was 90% CSNY type folk rock songs & 10% dumb country singles to get on the radio. Bluegrass isn't too bad. It's like the punk rock of country music. It is played FAST.
ReplyDeleteDid Jason Aldean get someone a music contract? Because I'd say the last line is a clue. This girl might be afraid she'll be named in the fallout since Aldean's wife appears to have given Jason a second chance.
ReplyDeleteMeaning before he got caught, he hooked another girl up with a contract after she slept with him. It might kill her career.
Blake Shelton can't be the answer to all of these country blinds. I ain't sayin' he's innocent, but come on (in my best Bluth voice).
For the record (pun stays), as much as I love all music, I have no preconceived notions that any of them are faithful.
What ever happened to Garth Brooks? Remember when he put out an album as that "rock" persona? Like no one could figure that out...
ReplyDelete@ lazyday - I agree about bluegrass
Garth had a sweet deal at the Wynn in Vegas where he only performed a few weekends a year so that he wasn't away from his daughters for very long. His run ended a while back
DeleteI loved Chris Gains, but that deal was kinda weird. I remember when Garth hosted SNL with musical guest Chris Gains. Lost In You was a good song.
ReplyDeleteI think it's Tim McGraw with Taylor Swift. They have a song or together and she would be vilified if she broke that marriage up.
ReplyDeleteI'm rooting for it to be her.
@AKM: I love Jill! I used to post on the Messageboard of Love (RIP) back in the day, until my browser at the time made it almost impossible. And yes, Chocolate Stuff IS amazing; at this point, I'd have to say I actually like it better than my brownies (shhhhh...). :-) The first time I made it and popped a spoonful of it in my mouth, along w/some good vanilla ice cream, I swear I damn near had a religious experience! (No, I won't post the recipe here, because Jill would no doubt hunt me down and kick my ass--you need to go get either The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love or The Sweet Potato Queens' Big-Ass Cookbook and Financial Planner, both of which have the recipe, although there's a typo re: the amount of salt in the latter book. Gotta keep Jill's plastic surgery fund topped up, you know...) :-)
ReplyDeleteit's john rich. (and i'm embarrassed that i know this). there've been rumbles & grumbles about this for yrs in nashvegas, w/ gretchen wilson being the potential singer afraid of how it'll make her look.
ReplyDelete@Pookie, I like your guess, never liked the guy, something sleazy about him...guess I was right.
Deleteshe looks like a skanky whore who needs a bath.
ReplyDeleteJohnny Cash
ReplyDelete@Pookie- you're 100% correct. My sister is/was a singer and refused to sleep with him. After months of being courted by a couple of labels, her calls stopped being returned and her agent dropped her. Not long after that, Gretchen Wilson was the NBT. I hate that mother f***er and his skank girlfriend so much for destroying my sister's confidence. She's happy now but it really opened her eyes to the industry.
ReplyDeleteThe creep may be John Rich, but the chick most definitely isn't Gretchen Wilson. Not only is she not in danger of being dropped, but her album and Big & Rich's first album came out the same year. John Rich may have clout NOW to get someone signed (or think that he could), but he didn't then.
ReplyDeleteI'm saying it's Alan Jackson, who has a notorious wandering eye and any naive gal would think that he'd be able to get her a deal.
I'm liking the John Rich guess. If the perp was Blake, Enty should have labeled it Easy Easy.
ReplyDeleteJust to be different Keith Urban.
ReplyDelete@Mango Chris Gains was the original Mimi and Sasha Fierce. Where the hell did that idea come from? Well established singers using a fake identity record an album. Did they really think they were fooling anyone?
SWEET POTATO QUEENS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Blake - with Cady Groves as the chick worried about getting dropped.
ReplyDeleteWell, to be fair, Chris Gaines was never intended to fool anybody, per se. It was in fact hoped to be the soundtrack album for a film about the character of Chris Gaines called THE LAMB, which never got made. In the liner notes of the album, there's a whole back story and everything...kinda interesting.
ReplyDeleteAnd frankly, I considered it to be a damn fine album! It gets slammed left and right, but there were some very good songs on it. Check it out if you've never heard it. Really.
@Robin and anon - BE PARTICULAR! :-)
@AKM I totally agree! I think I'm the only person I know who actually enjoyed that album. It was SO good!!
