John Mellencamp has always been a big supporter of Indiana University, hence ‘Mellencamp Pavilion’. He also has used the campus for music videos. This week, Mellencamp along with Karen Fairchild of ‘Little Big Town’, filmed part of his new video for ‘A Ride Back Home’ on IU’s campus in Beck Chapel. The song is off his new album, “Life, Death, Love and Freedom”.

It’s great that so many stars are using their fame for good. Bucky Covington is currently in Kosovo on a USO tour.
From KosovoHello from Kosovo!Thought I’d give you a USO update.
We all made it just fine into Budapest and then Kosovo. The country here is really beautiful, and meeting with the soliders so far has been really cool. They are from all over the country, and because we tour so much, so it seems we always have some common ground to talk about. We have our show tonight, then tomorrow it’s on to the next coutry. I’m a little jetlagged, but I’ll catch up on sleep soon.
Now that they are dancing together on Dancing With The Stars, Chuck and Julianne are blogging together. Granted, it sounds like this is just Chuck writing, but they did sign-off together… love is in the air for these two. We’ve seen how intimate two people can get while dancing, we expect to see fireworks with these two.
Julianne is joining him on part of his tour so she can teach him the steps, now that is dedication!
FIRST WEEK OF REHEARSALS FOR “DANCING WITH THE STARS”So today is our 2nd day of rehearsal!! Julianne is still fighting off having the “FLU”, which i feel so bad for her but she’s a trooper and she’s pushing through the rehearsals. It’s official!! I’ve now confirmed i’m a really bad dancer!! lol….but i have a GREAT teacher and i will try my best not to fall on my face come march 9th!
We just did the title shoot for DWTS out in LA and then took a Red Eye last night to Pittsburg, PA where i have a show tonight. Julianne will be with me the entire time teaching me on the road while touring. I have to admit it’s definitely a lot to juggle but we’re doing it!! She is finding it very funny with how serious and focused i am in practice!! i think she’s always used to me joking around!! But i told her to “Crack her whip” because i need it especially to learn these CRAZY steps she’s showing me!! lol
I will keep you all posted on a daily basis or as much as I can!! Julianne said “HELLO” as she is reading this over my shoulder…WE will keep blogging and keeping you up to speed with everything! This is going to be a lot of FUN and I hope you all have fun watching me learn how to DANCE!! hahaCHUCK AND JULIANNE
Kellie Pickler performed a few days ago in Canada in this adorable blue t-shirt. We couldn’t help but fall in love with so we had to find out who made it.
We did some searching and we’re not 100% sure this is the exact shirt, but we did find 2 very close options.
