Bob's Nashville Blog

Here we go.....a daily blog of the latest news, rumors and gossip out of Nashville, or as I like to refer to it........NashVegas.

Want to smell like Tim McGraw? Try the new fragrance called simple "McGraw" and no, it does not come in a flip top can. Hey, it must work. Look who he is married to. The last time Nashville tried this was a perfume made out of Sammy Kershaw's sweat. That didn't last very long, thank goodness.

In other NashVegas news, everyone is commenting on Pat Green getting hit between the eyes with a can of beer. I would start putting 'Chicken Wire in front of the stage" in the concert rider.
Sugarland gets sued!
Friday 08-08-2008 3:23pm CT

ATLANTA - A founder of the country band Sugarland is suing the two current members of the popular group for $1.5 million.

According to a lawsuit filed late last month in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, Kristen Hall was to get a cut of the group's profits even after she left in 2005 for a solo career. The lawsuit says Hall, who founded the band in 2002, has an agreement with Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush to equally share profits and losses.

Hall says in the lawsuit that she has been excluded from the group's profits since she left.

Sugarland's publicist referred calls to the band's attorney, Gary Gilbert, who was unavailable for comment.

The band's album, "Love on the Inside," released last month, is No. 1 on Billboard music chart.





I'd be sad too.

Hot Sugarland Rumor in Nashville

SUGARLAND's JENNIFER NETTLES has found a new love connection. Nashville ABC-TV affiliate WKRN reports that Jennifer has been dating KENNY CHESNEY's guitar player CLAYTON MITCHELL for the past nine months. Clayton also co-wrote a tune on Sugarland's upcoming album, Love on the Inside, due in stores July 22nd.  

And this little love connection has been going on for more than 9 months.

Maybe she will show up at the Houston show.

Amazing, but it looks like the land around my hometown of Sweetwater, Texas. Where's the Starbucks?
