Dear Friends,
If Perez can do it, so can Eddie. Thought I would share some of the interesting and cool things happening in Country Music:
1) The one-hour concert special Sugarland: Live On The Inside will premiere on ABC-TV Monday, Aug. 3 at 8pm ET. The show will feature their hits “Settlin’,” “Stay,” “All I Want To Do,” “Something More” and never-before-televised performance footage. The special coincides with the release of their high-def CD/DVD set Live On the Inside, which will be released exclusively to Wal-Mart the next day (8/4) … I love Sugarland.
2) According to The Hollywood Reporter, Julianne Hough is confirmed to star opposite Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford in the Footloose remake. Regarding her acting debut, Hough recently told us, “Music will always be my foundation. Singing, acting and dancing all kind of go together. It’s not like I’m trying to be an astronaut and a singer.” Depending on her schedule for the March 2010 shoot, Hough will play “Ariel Moore,” which originally was cast with actress Lori Singer in the 1984 film.
… and now for a few quick hits:

That’s all for now fellow country fans. See you on the radio … Eddie King
Well, as I mentioned on the air, poor Gromit got pretty sick last week and had to go to the emergency vet. They shaved his forearms to put catheters in to keep him hydrated, so he ended up looking like he’s wearing those Uggs boots! LOL!
Here’s the current look: http://twitpic.com/81i79
He already had an appointment with Robbie, his groomer, set up for this week, so he’ll be getting shorn down like a little lamb in a day or two!
More pics to come…
