DIXIE CHICKS APOLOGISE TO TALK SHOW
LATEST: Country trio DIXIE CHICKS has apologised to the hosts of US talk show THE VIEW after they claimed they were too famous to go on the daily programme.
The GOODBYE EARL hitmakers told the latest edition of Time magazine how selective they were about which TV shows they appear on, saying they hope to emanate their musical and political hero BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN.
In the publication, band member EMILY ROBISON said, "Not that we're of that calibre, but would Bruce Springsteen do The View?"
On Tuesday (23MAY06), The View's hosts launched a scathing attack on the singers, with presenter MEREDITH VIEIRA fuming, "We are furious. This is obnoxious, obnoxious. We started these girls - back in 1998, they couldn't get arrested." In a letter to the hosts, Robison writes: "I wanted to write you directly to apologise for my comment.
"My intention was not to insult The View and at the time I was truly just pulling a name out of the air. Today, this Chick is eating a little crow."

Were they really so stupid as to use the word "emanate" when they actually meant "emulate"?
