Dixie Chicks to Split Up After Grammy's? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Jim Roberts Dec 13, 2006
The Dixie Chicks just scored the big trifecta with Grammy nominations. The one-time country band that turned their collective backs on the music genre, its stars and its fans cleaned up with the three majors, Best Album, Song and Record for “Taking the Long Way” and the single, “Not Ready to Make Nice.”
The Chicks were one of eight acts with five nominations each, as it appears that the Grammy's are desperately trying to give the gals some love for their America bashing ways.
Now a report claims that the Chicks may split after the show.
The source is the National Enquirer and the weekly tabloid reports that the controversial country superstars have secretly decided to split up after the Grammy Awards - because Emily Robison and Martie Maguire no longer want to share the nest with outspoken Natalie Maines, say sources.

"The Chicks are tired and wrung out," a group insider reportedly told the weekly entertainment magazine. "They feel they've come to the end, and they want a break from each other to spend more time with their families."
The three women, who have seven children among them, are at odds over Natalie's blunt political ramblings. And while sources say sisters Emily and Martie share many of Natalie's anti-George W. Bush views, they feel her public rants have taken the focus off their music.

No denial is printed with the online report. But many speculated that the sisters would dump Maines long ago and that has yet to happen.
So they'll be has-been musicians separately. I got no problem with that. :)
Dixie Chicks who?
Awww...geee....too bad!
Reality's a b!tch, isn't it, Natalie?
Translation: two of them have decided to throw the truly dim bulb overboard.
Don't let the door hit them in the ....
The Dixie Splits.
Sorry ladies...the damage has already been done. Getting rid of "big mouth" should have happened a couple years ago if you wanted to stay in the good graces of the fans you had back then.
If these rumors are correct, Maines has no reason to complain.
That ship has sailed ladies.
"The three women....are at odds over Natalie's blunt political ramblings."
I guess that explains why they have been agreeing with her all this time. /sarc
Seems like I heard the other two defending Natalie Maines, but if they have now decided to push the chick from the nest, so be it. Let's see how well they all do. Natalie can't make it as a soloist, and the other two didn't do so well before Natalie joined them. Interesting.
It would explain why every review of their concert mentioned how the sisters barely spoke a word.
I guess the other two chicks decided they like making money over making political statements.
Franken/Maines '08!
*Snicker*
Dixie Who?
Dixie Splits!
That's good.
