Why'd So Many Celebs Come Fete Jamey Johnson?
Celebrating No. 1 hits in Nashville ain't no big thang, according to The Tennessean newspaper. So why, then, did so many celebrities from other record labels come out Tuesday (May 19) to root for Jamey Johnson at a party to celebrate his album's recent ascension into the gold category? I guess 300 people were there, which is about double the normal attendance. And among those guests were the Oak Ridge Boys, Keith Anderson, Holly Williams, Bill Anderson, Kimberly Schlapman and Phillip Sweet (Little Big Town) and Teddy Gentry (Alabama). What did Johnson think of all the fuss? Sounds like he was pretty humble. "I'm flattered to have other artists at this party," he said. "When it's all said and done, no one is going to remember who sold more records. What's going to matter is relationships." So he may sing about some rough stuff, but deep down, he seems like he has a heart of gold. And that must be what fans -- and fellow artists -- have known and loved all along.

HELLO! says:
You mean alison is writing about someone besides taylor swift! Its a miracle!
Linda says:
Taylor was in LA last night and got her picture taken with Perez Hilton. I’m sure she’ll get around to that.

Jamey,
You go, brother and don’t ever look back unless you just want to. We still in the “Gump” trying to find a way to corral reality into something that shines enough to be special, but not too real they think its contrived. If that makes sense to you get back to me on that because we ain’t stopping…and that’s that.
Just good on you, boy. See you at the next show.
