KIEFER SUTHERLAND IS NOW A COUNTRY OUTLAW

Who knew Kiefer Sutherland yearned to be a cowboy? He has evolved from playing the US President on Designated Survivor to country rocker with his own band. Kiefer is now touring quite successfully in Europe with his new album, appropriately titled Reckless & Me. He’s written a lot of music about his own life so it’s highly suitable for drinking, and he’s well received in the bars where he performs. Kiefer says he’s never been happier and he’s getting decent reviews …

NICOLE KIDMAN IS STANDING BY HER MAN?

Lion star Nicole Kidman appeared at an award show in Germany looking like she should be at the Country Music Awards in the 1970’s. Her fussy frilly flower print pastel frock seems awfully unsophisticated for the Oscar winning actress. Nicole must learn to say no when designers pressure her to wear free dresses that she would never buy for herself.

GWEN STEFANI: “I AIN’T NO COUNTRY GIRL!”

Well, THAT’S a relief! Gwen Stefani is back to her old self after that scary appearance at the Billboard Awards. You may recall, she sang a duet with Blake Shelton and she actually LOOKED like she was turning into a country western singer! Too much beige – no red lips or glam eye makeup, uninspired flat hair, and a glitzy sequin gown! Fans were distraught, fearing this was her new look. Fortunately she has reverted back to her cool rock n’roll self (above performing at the Samsung Summer Concert Series in NY) and hopefully she will STAY this way!

WE’D RATHER NOT SEE STEVEN TYLER IN A COWBOY HAT

He doesn’t LOOK like he’s “gone country” but Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler recorded his latest single, “Love is Your Name,” in Nashville, and it definitely SOUNDS like country. He’s also signed to the same Dot label as Tim McGraw. But that doesn’t change the fact that he’s going on tour with Aerosmith this summer. Tyler introduced his new song on the season finale of American Idol. Two careers are better than one. And we like his outfit.
