Just when we were about to die of boredom from all the fluff in country music and PR, JOHN RICH saves the day!!! Ashamedly, we just got scooped big time by TMZ.COM with respect to a story NASHVILLESPY.COM should have been all over right here in our spies’ back yard. According to TMZ.COM, RICH (who ironically we have referred to as “bad cop” in previous posts) has apparently “… turned himself in to the Metro Davidson County Criminal Justice Center in Nashville, Tenn. this afternoon to face misdemeanor charges of assault and harassment stemming from an alleged altercation between…” he and JARED ASHLEY.  The two apparently know each other from the TV show Nashville Star where ASHLEY was a finalist and RICH was a judge a few seasons ago.

To keep things fun this summer, let’s hope RICH keeps up the drama and picks on other up-and-coming country music artists he has judged in an effort feed his insatiable ego and to save his own recording career.  As a side note, ASHLEY seems to us to be a perfectly talented and hard working country music artist who should stand up to RICH’s infamous ego and loud mouth. Come on spies, help us out here… we don’t want to get scooped again by our Los Angeles friends at TMZ.COM again.

In the process of cleaning out our 2008 files, there are a few photographs from spies we just don’t what to make of.  For example, this is a photo of mega ego and nearly always impeccable dressed and groomed JOHN RICH from earlier in 2008. It was taken late one night at a honky tonk on Broadway Ave. in Nashville.  What is that white stuff on his jacket?  Can anyone help?

For a several weeks now, we have been hearing unconfirmed reports from spies that Country Music Royalty TANYA TUCKER was the victim of a serious medical mishap that occurred at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville. We have also been told by spies on the West Coast that TANYA chose to get the hell out of Vanderbilt Medical Center and recover in California where she also has a home. IF THIS IS TRUE, GET WELL SOON TANYA… WE NEED YOU BACK HERE IN NASHVILLE MAKING GOOD MUSIC!

Like the story before this, I didn’t want to write this story because I am actually lending credibility to the fantasy that NBC’s Nashville Star is a nationwide talent contest instead of a shameful reality show. Previous seasons, while sometimes pained, at least attempted to pretend they were a talent competition.

There is simply no conceivable way anybody with just a little music savvy can believe that this season’s contestants are in any way representative of the unsigned country music talent “out there.” NBC has successfully managed to morph this former talent show into a low-rent reality show. Before you send me any nasty emails, please understand I believe that the final contestants are all perfectly fine singers. However, they simply and undeniably are NOT the best of the best of the unsigned country music artists out there. I hope this will be one of the last stories I have to write about a stupid reality show.

This is a prime example of the big record companies, Columbia Nashville/SonyBMG in JESSICA’s case, are trying to shove their misjudgments of what country music is down our throats. Don’t hate on JESSICA, it’s the fucked up system that is the blame. I feel sorry for her. How is it that they (SonyBMG and her management) thought they would put her in some daisy dukes, boots, show-off her big boobs and show up at a premier country music festival in a prime time lineup and that would magically make her country? Country music would have been much better served by SonyBMG taking the outrageous budget/advances JESSICA surely demands, and develop and release 10 new real country music artists. No wonder people don’t like to pay for records. FUBAR.

A hacker website is claiming to have hacked into MILEY CYRUS’ cellphone any took the above photos from MILEY. If true, she would would be 15 years old in these pictures. If true, clearly her parents need to have a “sit down” talk with her about the definition of SKANK. I am sure Disney is going to have a royal fit when they see these. MILEY’s people say these aren’t “real photos”… but they seem real to us.

CAT FIGHT: It has been recently reported that ”gone country” tart JESSICA SIMPSON wore a t-shirt that read “Real Girls Eat Meat.”

Many have inferred that JESSICA’s t-shirt was an untactful slight against CARRIE UNDERWOOD who is a known vegetarian. Both women have been romantically linked to NFL quarterback TONY ROMO.

In case of were wondering what former Nashville resident PAM ANDERSON has to say about it….listen for yourself from this radio interview.

Goodness ladies!

BARACK OBAMA and HILLARY CLINTON were all BFF today campaigning together for the first time in Unity, New Hampshire. We know why!

Our spies were able to gain access to their hotel suite at Motel 6 last night. We were able to get one photograph. If you get pissed off easily, DO NOT CLICK HERE to see the photograph.

Two spies that work for Nashvillespy.com are originally from New Orleans and can’t forget the tragic consequences of Hurricane Katrina in ‘05. Also we can’t forget KANYE WEST’s worldwide live-televised charity event appearance where WEST shockingly said, “GEORGE BUSH doesn’t care about black people.” He is clearly a fucking ‘tard!

Earlier this month, our spies reported that the “peace, love, and happiness” crowd at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival (about 65 miles south of Nashville) didn’t particularly like KANYE WEST at their music and lovefest because of his larger-than-life ego and his disrespect for the crowd. See various photographs above….
