Jessica Simpson

Thursday, January 29, 2009

Ok.... I've got to say something about all the nastiness going around about Jessica Simpson... ESPECIALLY this weight issue. Lots of newspapers, tabloids and bloggers have been really mean-spirited to her in so many ways.

But now they're saying she's "fat" or "full-figured" and showed a picture of her at a Florida concert in some unflattering jeans. Look, maybe she has put on a few pounds, but she's still a very beautiful woman and I can testify that she is even prettier in person. Last summer was my first time to meet and interview Jessica, and I fully expected her to be the airhead that the media had portrayed. Instead, I found her to be EXTREMELY down-to-earth, funny, naturally beautiful, and INTELLIGENT!! Wow, that taught me a lesson in believing everything you read. She really is fun and quick-witted. Talented.... of course. Maybe she did put on a few pounds recently, but so what? As her former trainer says... "I think if more people looked the way she looks now, the country would be a lot healthier."

Favorite Country Stars to Interview

Tuesday, January 27, 2009

You know, I'm always asked who's my favorite country star to interview and it's a hard one to answer, because ANY star on any given day can have their moments. It's when you really connect, with all the barriers down... and all their "media" training put aside, that I really get to know and have some fun with that singer.

Sometimes, it's at the first of their career, when they're fresh and naive, that it's the most fun.I remember telling Taylor Swift that, of all the artists I've ever interviewed at the first of their career, she has the TOTAL package.... such a winner and SO YOUNG! I instantly adored her and felt a connection, like I'd known her all my life. Great things will continue to happen to her for many years to come. Then... there's the ole pro's... Tim McGraw... hmmm.... well, next time....

Lowe's Motor Speedway Media Tour

Monday, January 26, 2009

Some things of note at the recent Lowes Motor Speedway media tour....... Dale Jr never looks comfortable wearing a shirt with starch in it....... Tony Stewart seems relaxed and proposed that I should come over and shoot pool at his place so he could get "some of that radio money".......

Jimmy Johnson looks 1/100s faster with a beard, not good news for the other guys....... any car with the number 43 on it should also have some blue in the paint scheme....... and just because the cheese cake is free at the media lunch that doesn't mean you should eat 2 pieces....... PS
