No reality for Kenny

Over the last couple years, I have wondered if some of the bigger names in country music would participate in the reality TV craze. I've always thought that because of Kenny Chesney's hectic tour schedule and good personality, he would be a perfect candidate for a "behind the scenes" type of reality show, but Kenny disagrees. He says he has not interest in being on any reality shows or even being part of the social network craze like facebook and Twitter. Understandable. He seems to avoid extra attention at all cost, and I can't say I blame him. Kenny says "no" to reality TV, but he did say "yes" to ESPN. He's in a new promo for the sports network:

 

In other Kenny news, there are still tickets available for his concert with Tim McGraw at the Superdome on New Orleans, August 3rd.  Sounds like the boys are having fun on on and off the stage with this tour.  Tim said that he & Kenny are both on strict workout schedules, which is obvious when you look at this photo of Tim that he put on Twitter last week:

A little something for the ladies there.  Anyway, Tim said that Kenny's day to splurge and go off his diet is Sunday, so all week, he is tempting Kenny by sending him red velvet cakes and all kinds of desserts to test Kenny's will power.  So far, so good for Kenny.  Hopefully he won't come off tour with any extra chins! 

Gary Allan announced that he is all done recording his new CD, and it's in the process of being mastered.  Gary described it as "up, and really rockin".  I have always been a huge fan of Gary.  In fact, he's on my "stranded-on-a-deserted-island" list.  You know, the "if you were stranded and could only take 5 CD's with you" game.  Gary and Dwight Yoakam (who is also working on a new CD) would account for all five of those CD's.  The first single from his new project will be called "A Tough Goodbye".  No album title or release date is set as of now.

Congrats to Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland and her husband Justin Miller who are expecting their first baby in November!  Exciting news for them.
