One of our spies snapped chart toping Jewel performing at an after party following the ACM Awards show last month. As alway, she was great! We are happy she decided to “go country.”
JOHANNA’s SIDE NOTE: Well at least someones happy that she’s gone country! I’d be happy if she called my dentist and finally took care of her KNARL tooth- I know it’s her trademark but baby it’s been ten years…fix that damn thing!
It’s no secret that TIM MCGRAW has been no to have a wild streak in him but our spies have stumbled across a video that shows TIM with a bit of “regulator” in him! Apparently two men in the crowd got a bit too rowdy for TIM and as he was starting his song, “Indian Outlaw” he told the band to hold up! He proceeds to yell for security and then even tried himself to pull the man up from the crowd. You’ll have to watch the video to see it all in action but this man was no little man but a pretty good sized BUBBA!! Once they got the rowdy man out of the crowd DIVA TIM shoos the man away with his hands and the man appears to come at TIM! All this commotion and nothing really seemed to phase TIM…as security took the man away TIM carried on with his song without even saying a word about the incident. I guess TIM knows how to regulate his audience. I’m not certain what caused TIM to react to the situation, it might have been a fight in the crowd but maybe the man grabbed TIM in his special private zone or maybe he said something about the lovely FAITH HILL…all that is up in the air in speculation but I do know TIM is now known by our spies as a full blown REGULATOR!!!
Our spies just happened to be out tonight (6/25) and caught up with country music bad ass and legend MERLE HAGGARD. MERLE was entering the Ryman Auditorium artist entrance to take the stage for the once-in-a-lifetime concert. Our spies also found JOHN ANDERSON and later on MERLE ’s BFF CHER (don’t laugh at the terrible photo, but that is the back of CHER’s head peaking over the guy’s shoulder) arriving to pay their respects to the legend. The Ryman only seats 2,362 so you know every seat was good. Give ‘em hell MERLE.
Last night our spies found CHERILYN SARKISIAN LaPIERE, a/k/a CHER out honky-tonking after midnight at Tootsies Orchid Lounge on Broadway Ave. in Nashville. The song, “If I Could Turn Back Time” keeps playing over and over in my head along with the visuals of CHER in her video running around in her leather jacket and thong…wow those were the days. It’s hard to believe that CHER is already 62 years old but from this spies point of view she doesn’t have to “turn back time” because she hasn’t changed since the 1960’s…she’s still got that flowing long black hair that she had when singing with her then hubby SONNY. She also has kept her girlish figure and by no means does she dress like a 62 year old! As you can see from our photos she hasn’t resorted to “seasonal” shirts or “I love Grandma” sweaters like normal women her age but then again CHER has never been normal…All I can say is thank GOD for plastic surgery and botox! Why not? She’s definitely earned it after having to sing that horrific song over and over…”BABE, I GOT YOU BABE..BABE!” I think she should do a singing ad that says, “Botox, I got you BOTOX….BOTOX!” I guess it’s done her good so keep cutting and keep poking! By all accounts she seemed to be enjoying her Nashville outing until an overzealous man kept harassing her and had to be arrested. But hey CHER, that’s why we call this “honky-tonking” here in Nashville and not “clubbing” as you call it in L.A.
Anyone who reads nashvillespy.com with some frequency knows JAMEY JOHNSON and LEWIS COPELAND are two of our favorite talented country music artists to report on!
Last night (6/25) our spies spotted JAMEY, a/k/a “The Mayor of Country Music”, with his gal NANCI FILIPELLI at Nashville honky-tonk Roberts Western World enjoying the live music. JAMEY is currently charting with his moving single “In Color”. While there, our spies happened upon LEWIS yapping it up with JAMEY. Despite LEWIS’ contemporary country sound, he says he is a huge fan of JAMEY’S music. LEWIS told our spies that he has incorporated several of JAMEY’s songs into his own set list at The Stage on Broadway where LEWIS usually plays Thursday and Saturday nights.
Go buy JAMEY’s new album “That Lonesome Song“… it is a must have! It should be put in the Smithsonian!
JOHANNA’S SIDE NOTE: WELL…WELL….the “V-Neck” again!! I swear LEWIS has one in every flippen color!! Maybe he can get JAMEY to start sporting this hot trend- then again by the looks of JAMEY’S face maybe not!!
Our spies from Antoon’s spied NFL Washington Redskins standout CLINTON PORTIS arriving on the carpet for the ACM awards show. We like him because he is a football playing mother fucker and crazy as fuck like most of us in Nashvegas. (Sit tight we will dig up more on him…. trust us!) The real big-time crazies are in DC… everyone knows that. We can already tell we like him because the consensus is he is friends with the Maloofs, is fucking crazy, talented and a country music fan. He will fit right in with us country folk.
Lower Broadway in Nashville has been invaded by the “V-NECK”!! Our spies have stumbled across two local well known honky-tonk acts LEWIS COPELAND and JOHNNY T both shaking their shit in these comfy tees! It’s not just a simple Hanes shirt boys and girls… this “new” modern v-neck cut practically shows all of their man cleavage, man hair and even a tad bit of peek-a-boo nipples. OH and the t-shirts can’t seem to get much tighter, I really think they paint them on…but seriously I won’t complain because they are both so damn hot! BUT I swear every time I see them sporting these t-shirts on stage I feel like I’m in the midst of an Abercrombie and Fitch commercial…Come on boys do you want to be compared the V-NECK KING SIMON COWELL from American Idol?? Harsh I know to be compared to such a species…If it’s any consolation, and in their defense, I think they have been doing their own spying on some other hot-to-trot country hotties who are also sporting the “V”!
Thats right folks, MART CHESNUTT is BACK! … I never knew he was gone, but MARK has a new album dropping today, June 24th, called “Rollin’ with the Flow”. Our spies recently found him at a charity fund raiser at The Stage on Broadway, in Nashville, hosted by DARRYL WORLEY. One of our spies had the opportunity to speak with MARK and said for the most part he was short, fat, mean and smug when talking to him!!! We can’t tell by how ‘joyful’ he looks in this picture, but one things for sure; he was following the words of his new song “Come on in the Whiskey’s Fine” as he chug-a-lugged a jack on the rocks!!
(Photos by Joseph Griffith) Our spies run into HOLLYWOOD YATES, a/k/a WOLF of NBC’s American Gladiators TV program, more than we do our own families! Despite his intimidating appearance, our spies assure us he is “the nicest mother fucker you ever want to meet.” Our spies found him a few weeks ago introducing country music acts on Fremont St. in Las Vegas. Later we spied him strutting and flexing on the carpet at the ACM Awards. Recently we even caught him “celebrity bar-tending” for a charity fund raiser at The Stage on Broadway… a popular Nashville honky-tonk. After that, our spies even saw him at a Wrangler jeans fashion event here in Nashville.
This 6′4″, 225lb giant started his career with 23 years on the professional rodeo circuit as a bullfighter and rodeo clown. He landed 2 world titles and 3 National Final Rodeo rings and countless trophies. He even wrestled professionally with the WWE. HOLLYWOOD YATES is everywhere.
