Yep. She signed a deal with the creators of "That 70's Show".
And speaking of the Gherkin ... her dad has been arrested AGAIN!
ALBEMARLE, N.C. (AP) -- The father of former "American Idol" contestant Kellie Pickler has been arrested again, accused this time of stealing older abandoned and disabled vehicles and illegally selling them to scrap yards.Authorities have charged Clyde Pickler, 42, who finished a three-year prison term in Florida last year for stabbing a man, with three felony counts of larceny of a motor vehicle and one felony count of obtaining property under false pretense, according to court records.
"He would represent that he had legal ownership and sold them for salvage," said Stanly County Sheriff's Capt. Charles Hatley.
Pickler was arrested May 18 in Albemarle, and he remains in the Stanly County jail on a $26,000 secured bond. He has a court date scheduled for July 9.
He has a court date scheduled for Thursday on a misdemeanor charge of operating a vehicle without a license, and a June 12 court date for another misdemeanor larceny charge, according to court records.
Kellie Pickler, an Albemarle native who now has a country music career based in Nashville, Tenn., reconciled with her father in an emotional public ceremony last May. Pickler's mother abandoned her as a child and her whereabouts have remained a mystery.
An old mugshot is included with the story, but it's an old one.
In his most recent photo, Clyde has more hair and looks thinner.
WHAT?? ;)
Probably :)
Missed alot of the show but did catch Daughtry. Loved it but what's up with the makeup? He's got talent without mucking it up with trendy eyeshadow, IMHO.
Gonna miss reading this thread!!
Good grief! Why can’t Clyde get a grip?!
Sorry I missed the show last night with you. Had t-ball AND baseball practice. BUT, I’ll be here tonight for the finale!!!!
GO JORDIN!
No, it's a Dodge, but it's really shiny!
I can’t believe Randy thought Jordin was better than Martina! She has a long way to go before she’s that good, and I think Jordin would agree with me.
Pop/gospel would have been a great choice for this group. The song was tough; doesn't sound like it's in the right key for either Jordin or Blake.
ROTFL!!!
I love Dave Barry, too, but the list was from the Best Week Ever blog.
Dave Barry’s would have been even funnier! LOL!!
I saw that on TMZ.com! I’ve never heard him speak, but I imagine his voice to sound like Billy Bob Thorton in Slingblade.
I’m sorry, but Melinda can sing circles around Kellie AND Bucky. No way Pickles or Bucky could have kicked Melinda’s butt! Guess it matters what year you make it.
Not to change the subject...but I didn’t see a shot of Gina in the audience last night. I’m sure she was there, did anyone else see her?
Mornin’ return, S J! ;)
Woo! Hoo! It’s actually morning still in both of our time zones as I type this reply!
Oh the i in PHiL I meant to be capitalized to fit w/the rest of the letters in last night’s reply. Though You know me and my typo record!
;)
Re: Jordin tears. She didn’t cry any during the performance but at the end of the standing O & cheers from the audiance. It really got to her. Once she took her hands away from her face to respond to Ryan...when she did that I could see big water fall tears streaming down for the 1st time.
Maybe You were typing something when that happened, so You didn’t see it.
I managed to get two articles published -- one in a biker magazine and one in ADOPTION TODAY that apparently had people crying. I got Chris to sign that last year in the Viper Room in Hollywood when he performed there.
Interesting ratings from last night:

MAY SWEEPS UPSET: ABC DANCE SHOW BEATS ‘IDOL’ IN OVERNIGHTS
Wed May 23 2007 09:08:03 ET
FOX and wunderkind Simon Fuller hit with a historic TV upset Tuesday night — after ABC’s ‘DANCING WITH THE STARS’ competition pulled in higher ratings than ‘AMERICAN IDOL’!
DANCING scored a 16.5 rating/25 share to IDOL 16.3/25, in what network insiders are calling a ‘photo-finish’.
“Our results show is tonight,” explains an confident FOX executive, “we’ll see who is left standing on the stage.”
The upset comes as the nation’s top-rated show experienced viewership erosion late in the season, at one point, falling more than 15% from a year ago.
DANCING easily topped the night in the nation’s top cities, pulling a 32 share peak in Chicago and 33 peak in Philly.
Developing...
“Yeah, doesn’t say much if that was the best song they could find?”
Yeah....25,000 entries and they still came up with the same unadulterated, fluffy, puppy dogs, rainbows, and furry woodland critters crap as the other years. No wonder music sales are so far down. That song just flat sucked.
My quick opinion on the show: The sound production was beyond horrible. What a tragic injustice to the contestants. Blake is a great entertainer, artist, producer and will make a good bit of cash from writing and producing credits. Jordin is clearly the best singer and picked a smart song with Christin’as current pop smash as it showed she can fit it to “now” on Top 40 radio. She wins easily.
I wonder where pickle grew up then? Good thing it wasn’t with those two parents of hers.
Howdy....missed you too! Can’t wait for tonight!
Wow...you are serious about the guy huh? COngrats.
