But although, by heading to Kentucky, he's avoiding the glare of Hollywood for now, Birkhead's datebook is certainly not devoid of high-profile events.
One of his first stops will be the site of his and Smith's first meeting, the Barnstable Brown Gala. At the annual charity fundraiser, which precedes the running of the Kentucky Derby, Birkhead will rub elbows with the likes of Jimmy Fallon, Jenny McCarthy, Vanessa Minnillo, Jerry O'Connell, Joey Fatone, Nick Lachey, Bill O'Reilly, Raquel Welch, Kid Rock, Chad Michael Murray, Terry O'Quinn, Jewel, Jason Lewis, Travis Tritt, the Dixie Chicks' Emily Robison and Tom Brady.
Birkhead made Smith's acquaintance at the 2004 edition of the event.
