Kevin Costner to Attempt Country Music

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music

What do you do when your movie career fizzles? Well - if you’re Jessica Simpson Kevin Costner, you turn to country music.

Kevin, who was last seen in Swing Vote, recently told People that he will be releasing a country album next month.

While this might seem like surprising news to most Costner followers, the 53-year-old has been moonlighting as a musician for quite some time now. In fact, some of his Modern West band members have been working with him for nearly 20 years. (Not that this qualifies them to sell any tracks or anything.)

The album - which Kevin co-wrote six songs for - is due out on November 11. Assuming the actor doesn’t line up any other acting gigs (he just recently wrapped work on The New Daughter), the band will be out touring by the end of this year. Expect the ladies of The View to feign interest shortly.

Jessica Simpson’s Opry Debut

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Clothing, Videos, Features

Many tuned in this weekend to watch MTV’s VMAs, which rewards popular artists for their innovation in a genre MTV only barely still supports - the music video. But while many artists are trying to find their feet in an ever-changing pop world, Jessica Simpson is clinging to the traditions of country music.

If her dress, hair style and eye-grabbing cleavage don’t remind you of Dolly Parton, nothing will. Jess strutted onto the Grand Ole Opry stage for her much-anticipated Nashville debut - and today most of the critics are talking much more about her chest and much less about her choice of song.

Why is Jessica Simpson Reinventing Herself?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Breaking News

Still attempting to make her new image seem genuine, Jessica Simpson has signed on to endorse a Texas-brewed beer. People, it just doesn’t get much more country than that.

Simpson is set to be the new face of Stampede Light Plus, as made by the Dallas-based Stampede Brewing Company. Other than the reflected glory and ability to say she’s really a country gal, Jessica will also get a 15% share of the brewing company.

In a statement, Simpson said she is “always looking for ways to diversify my portfolio with good ideas and good people.”

Julianne Hough Saving Herself for That Special Person

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Engagements, Rumors

Anyone who still believes that Julianne Hough had some part in Helio Castroneves’ broken engagement may think differently after hearing this news:  she is still a virgin.

The Dancing with the Stars professional has been bogged down with rumors ever since she was paired up with her first athlete, Apolo Ohno.  Now the dancer, who is recording her first country album (don’t confuse her with Jessica Simpson, who is also doing the same), is opening up to CosmoGIRL!.

The blonde beauty says that she has made the (admirable) choice to wait until marriage; she believes that decision will only help to “strengthen that relationship.”  Wondering why Hough broke off her own engagement last year?  She felt she was simply too young.

You’re only 19 years old.  I think “young” would be an understatement.
