According to our spies, BILLY RAY CYRUS (spied warming up backstage) and MILEY CYRUS (on stage with JEFFREY STEELE) were among the impressive music talent that showed up to perform and lend their support to a Nashville-area skate festival yesterday (6/29) to honor ALEX LaVASSEUR.

ALEX was a passionate and enthusiastic skater by all accounts. He is the late son of Nashville Star judge and mega songwriter JEFFREY. ALEX was only 13 when he was killed is an ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) accident in January of last year.

At the festival, JEFFREY told the crowd that the only song of his that was on his late son’s i-Pod was his song entitled “Simple Song”. Then MILEY and JEFFREY sang the song together. “Simple Song” will be on MILEY’s album “Beakout” due for release July 22, 2008.

Then after some resistance from JEFFREY, MILEY persuaded him to sing “Hollywood Girl” with her. It is a song JEFFREY wrote. Also, songwriter and artist SARAH BUXTON joined the stage to lend her support… from the looks of the photo, (see above) she even got a little up-skirt breeze.

BILLY RAY and JEFFREY work together on NBC’s popular TV program Nashville Star. Our spies reported that the event was very moving and emotional for those in attendance.

We reported on a few days ago and it’s happened…JESSICA SIMPSON has hit the country music airwaves. They are blowing up JESSICA’S new single “Come On Over” all over the radio stations here in Nashville…her camp must be doing their job!

So boys and girls what’s the consensus…do we like it or not? Tell us….

We recently reported that the OLSEN TWINS partied it up in Nashville but we were uncertain exactly why but we now have confirmation from the source itself MARY-KATE OLSEN. In a recent interview with DAVID LETTERMAN, MARY-KATE said that they were in Nashville for their twenty second birthday. The twins spent a majority of their time at Bonnaroo and MARY-KATE says that they traveled with eight people and stayed in bunks on a bus! From the looks of this interview MARY KATE was still styling her Bonnaroo hair…I guess she likes the messed up hippie look.

MARY-KATE seemed a bit uneasy while interviewing with LETTERMAN and it was obvious that she was “off”. She apologized to LETTERMAN and said that she was just so tired! LETTERMAN may believe her but I think we know the truth…she’s still coming off those mushrooms!

It’s the “bopsy twins” with their matching outfits and squinting eyes! I guess they have a right to squint and smile from ear to ear…they are one duo that is on top of the world. Last November they beat out BROOKS AND DUNN for top duo at the CMA AWARDS knocking the boys off their long run holding the title. SUGARLAND was no stranger to awards at this years ACM AWARDS where they took home two. JENNIFER NETTLES has a brand of her own with that unique voice and style…which is refreshing for country music! Although KRISTIAN BUSH seems like a decoy that stands in the front with his little mandolin he still adds something to this duo. There is no denying that their recent smash hit “Stay” captured the hearts of many-the rawness and emotion make it an amazing song. I guess that is why I love this duo…SUGARLAND is set to release a new CD on July 22, so mark your calendars boys and girls this is a MUST HAVE!! You can currently here their new song “All I Want to Do” on the radio airwaves…it’s a bit “doooowhooodooo” for me but it’s catchy!

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.

Don’t CLICK HERE if you don’t want to know.

Yesterday on the VIEW, JESSICA SIMPSON debuted her new single “Come On Over.” This is JESSICA’s first release off her new country album and from the video above it appears all she did to sound country was lower her voice and add a steel guitar to her band. Otherwise it sounds like the same old JESSICA!

Recently on CMT INSIDER SIMPSON says that she wrote the new single while she was in a “FLIRTATIOUS MOOD!” Virginal JESSICA flirty? NAH…but I’m not if country music is ready for MS. SIMPSON…by the looks of this INSIDER video she was definitely flirty and hasn’t changed her ways since her “pop” video days! I think she’s still in character from the Dukes of Hazard video because she’s still sporting the “daisy dukes” and cowboy boots…she did leave the bathing suit at home and she’s not rubbing up on the GENERAL LEE on this video.

She says in her interview that she didn’t go into this new album thinking it would be country but she says, “Everybody just loves music and the genre of country!” WOW that’s a great reason to jump into a country album…country music better watch out because if everyone catches on to this bright concept we’ll have all kinds of people making country albums- I can see it already Marilynn Manson making is country debut….”Don’t like the boots the boots like me!” But why not everyone loves the country genre-LOL Then again maybe JESSICA is a bit confused, this is the same women that didn’t know “Chicken of the Sea” was tuna…maybe she thinks country music really is rap! I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens with this new album! You can check out JESSICA’s CMT interview.

Our spies at the courthouse in Franklin, Tn (just south of Nashville) tell us MINDY was arrested AGAIN earlier this week for violating her probation… sounds like she was being lazy and trying to get into the “free club” by falsifying her court ordered community service records.

Our spies caught up with JAKE OWEN on the orange carpet before the ACM Awards show. Check him and his hottie gal out… If I were JAKE I would be singing “Yee Haw” too!
