Josh Kelley Comes Home to Country Music

Josh KelleySinger/songwriter Josh Kelley is a Georgia native with plenty of Music City connections. And now he's in the studio working on a country project for Universal Music Group's Nashville label. Josh, the older brother of Lady Antebellum's Charles Kelley, signed with UMG Nashville in September.

"Country is where I'm going to live out the rest of my career," Josh tells Entertainment Weekly. "This is the style and level of songwriting that I've always wanted. I'm coming home."

Josh, who lived in Nashville before marrying actress Katherine Heigl ('Grey's Anatomy'), says Charles "is the main person that convinced me [to go country]. And if Charles says something -- all 6'7" of him -- you really do listen."

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Was 'Starstruck' at CMA Awards

Julianne Hough, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. has had a rough racing season this year. But in the middle of trying to regain his momentum as a race car driver, he made a pit stop in Nashville for the CMA Awards last week, where -- after much angst and anticipation -- he took the stage to present the Vocal Duo of the Year award with Julianne Hough and rubbed shoulders with some country greats on the red carpet and backstage.

Dale Jr. tells USA Today that because the experience was "way outside" his comfort zone, he "dreaded every moment up until it started happening. From the moment I said I'd do it, which was about a month and a half before, to the moment when I got there, I was thinking, 'What did I do this for?' I sat down, and the first performance went off. I was sitting there thinking, 'Man, I'm going to see a concert with some of the greatest of today's stars. This is pretty cool.' The more it got going, the more I got into it. I knew that would happen. It's just angst and nervousness leading up to it."

Harper Simon Inspired By Classic Country

Harper SimonSinger-songwriter Harper Simon likes "hippie country music." Something he is less fond of, clearly, is talking about his famous dad -- Paul Simon.

Harper tells the Columbus Dispatch, ""If [audiences] like what I'm doing, they like it. I continue to play -- and, eventually, maybe people will get bored of asking me about that."

Harper's Nashville connections on his just-released self-titled debut album are evident in tracks such as the bouncy 'Tennessee' and in the personnel recruited for much of the disc. The album's producer is Bob Johnston, whose credits include Bob Dylan's 'Nashville Skyline,' several Johnny Cash albums, and, naturally, Simon and Garfunkel.

Dolly Parton Voices Support for Gay Marriage

The always candid Dolly Parton has revealed that she's in favor of granting gays and lesbians the rights to marry.

"Sure, why can't they get married? They should suffer like the rest of us do," the outspoken superstar told CNN show host Joy Behar. When Behar suggested Dolly's Southern roots might not mesh with the idea of marriage equality, the singer agreed, "I know that's true."

Dolly's not alone. This year, Reba McEntire surprised some of her conservative fans when she spoke in support of her gay fans and "many gay friends." "Don't judge me and I won't judge you," she said. "Keep an open mind."

Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles, too, recently celebrated her gay fans. "I've always had a large gay following," the singer, who has performed at Gay Pride in Atlanta three times, said. "Particularly in the lesbian community. I am grateful for that ... It also means that I'm a cute girl singing a rock song in an alto voice!"

As for Dolly, the flamboyant entertainer admits she feels a certain kinship with her many gay and lesbian fans."I think it's because they know I'm different too, and it took me a long time to be accepted," she reasons.
