Move Over Jessica Simpson; Jamie Lynn Spears Is Coming To Town
We thought we’d heard it all after Bon Jovi, Kid Rock, Jessica Simpson, and even Snoop Dogg started cranking out the country tunes in Nashville. But the latest news from E! Online is that Jamie Lynn Spears, Britney Spears’ mini-me, has been in town recording some demos for her new country album. Jamie Lynn Spears [...]
Bright & Early: Kids These Days Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Change is coming to the downtown branch of the Nashville Public Library in February. For some reason they’ve decided that opening a “Teen Wing” with a Wii and four giant plasma TVs in the middle of a library is a good idea. They say they’re doing it to encourage teens to start [...]
Bright & Early: Keep The Ball Rolling Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Developers of the reviled Bible Park USA are “very, very close” to deciding which part of the state they’ll target next in their quest to snag some land for the Bible-themed amusement park. We’re still pretty convinced that the whole idea sounds a little ridiculous, but our money’s on Lebanon and Wilson [...]
Jessica Simpson Can’t Really Pull It Off [Jessica Simpson]
With her brand spankin’ new country album hitting the shelves yesterday, not-so-Nashvillian Jessica Simpson was making the morning show rounds performing hit single “Come On Over.” In this clip from Tuesday morning’s Good Morning America, we see Jessica doing her best country impression, and while we’re happy to see that she’s ditched the cowboy getup [...]
Bright & Early: Affordable Shmaffordable Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Members of one north Nashville community are all up in arms about affordable housing, but probably not in the way that you’d think. After Habitat for Humanity proposed a plan to build an affordable neighborhood behind the existing one, residents loudly protested, saying that the Habitat project would bring crime and drive [...]
Bright & Early: Conventional Things Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The Republican National Convention wrapped up last night, and Tennessee definitely left its mark. In case you missed Marsha Blackburn and Bill Frist, you can catch their speeches on YouTube here and here. More importantly, you may have also missed the John Rich’s “Raisin’ McCain” that closed out McCain’s big [...]
Happy Hour: Too Much Information
So remember when we told you that Oktoberfest was becoming the Germantown Street Festival? The Tennessean steered us wrong. There are actually two festivals in Germantown on the same day at the same time–the street festival AND Oktoberfest. Props to them for the round-about retraction [Tennessean]
The student who was shot at Central High School this [...]
Happy Hour: Don’t Mess With Texas
We knew something was up when the FDA gave us the green light to start eating tomatoes again despite the continued rash of salmonella illnesses. They’re now thinking it’s the Texan jalapeños. New rule: When in doubt, blame Texas. [WSMV]
An apartment complex on 16th Ave. near Belmont went up in flames this morning after [...]
Happy Hour: Not Your Average Rednecks
As if Jessica Simpson isn’t wreaking enough havoc on our image, Hotel Preston is advertising their “Redneck Package,” which includes a 6-pack of PBR and a bag of pork rinds so guests can “live like locals.” Because clearly that’s what we do in Nashville: Sit around all day drinking PBR and eating pork rinds. We [...]
Jessica Simpson Perpetuates Bad Nashville Stereotypes
We know Jessica Simpson’s gone country and everything, but there’s really no reason to go around misrepresenting the rest of us to her pals back in LA. Miss Simpson was caught at LAX yesterday wearing this country-fied getup that we think is supposed to signify her assimilation into Nashville culture or something. Trouble is, no [...]
