Kellie Pickler Takes a “Little Piece of Home” to Troops During USO Tours
Kellie Pickler commemorated her first three USO tours by prominently tattooing the outlines of three small stars on her arm. Now she’s in the middle of planning her fourth trip — but hasn’t reserved her chair at the tattoo parlor just yet.
During a recent visit to CMT, she was asked if she’ll maintain her patriotic inking.
“I don’t know if I’ll keep doing it because I might have the whole flag on my arm, ” she replied. “That wouldn’t be a bad thing, but I don’t know that I would look very good with a sleeve. I just kind of play it by ear. My first three trips were very memorable, and even if I don’t add a star, I’m not going to forget that I went.”
‘So You Think You Can Dance’: Judges from our Summer TV Must talk new all-star season
Naturally, So You Think You Can Dance is in our Must List Issue as one of our summer TV musts. Since 2005, the Fox reality dancing competition has been as synonymous with summer as ice cream and flip flops. (That is, if you don’t count that ill-advised fall season…but let’s just forget that happened, shall we?) Of course, the series has switched things up this year, adding an all-stars element and swapping Mia Michaels in for Mary Murphy as permanent judge on the panel alongside executive producer Nigel Lythgoe and Adam Shankman. So what better way to toast the new season — and their placement on our list — than to chat with the three judges about the season 7, and the new chemistry on the panel?
