He had a Pittsburgh Pirates cap on backwards during the 2 hour show but there was no announcement on where his deal with Wynn stands.Rumor has it the hitch is Wynn wants to charge more for ticket prices than Garth is comfortable with. Keith Urban says growing up in Australia, their house was dominated by country music. His dad’s a huge fan & he loved Ronnie Millsap, Glen Campbell and Kenny Rogers. Speaking of, I got to see Kenny a few weeks ago before his show & cuz of all the plastic surgery on his eyes, up close he looks like Johnny Carson.

What was Nashville Kat up to this weekend?
I was outside Grand Rapids this weekend at a concert with Blake Shelton, Julianne Hough and the Zac Brown Band. Cuz of bad weather, Zac’s flight in was cancelled so he made a call to Kenny Chesney & Kenny sent his jet to pick them up. They got to the show but they had no guitars and no clothes so they bought guitars then stopped at Wal-Mart & they all got matching black polyester uniform things. Kinda ugly! I talked to Zac before they went on and I think I spit on him. He said I didn’t so maybe he was just being nice. We bonded over our love of morel mushrooms. I asked if he ever hunted them and he said no, he just ordered them. By-the-way, I always thought Zac was huge but I towered over him! Also found out last weekend Julianne Hough has no cellulite on the backs of her legs so she’s pretty much flawless now! I’ve been told she’s been wearing a sparkly ring on her left ring finger but I couldn’t get to the stage before she went on to see if that’s true but I can now confirm Julianne will star in ...
