It’s country week on the Today Show. Yesterday, Martina McBride filled-in for co-host Kathy Lee. Take a look at a clip of Martina talking about keeping her family first.

It’s been a very exciting week, and I never realized how much booze flows freely on the morning news. If you’ve watched, you know what I mean…Blake Shelton and Martina both had their fair share of extra curricular beverages while sitting in as co-host.

Today, John Rich takes over. Tomorrow is Trisha Yearwood, and Josh Turner closes out the week.

Chely Wright Talks About Her Relationship With Brad Paisley and Says She Considered Suicide

Chely Wright  is currently on her media tour for her new album, “Lifted Off the Ground” and for her memoir, “Like Me.”

But, since she revealed on Monday through People magazine that she’s gay, that topic is front and center. In an interview to air today, Chely tells “Access Hollywood” she’s “all those things that country music is about: family, faith and country.” She says she just happens “to be homosexual.” And, she says she wasn’t truthful with Brad Paisley about her sexuality.  When they were dating she says she “could see the damage” she was doing to him so she “cut him off completely, cold turkey.” 

Chely also says she had a private meltdown after lying to John Rich and telling him she wasn’t gay. And, she says she came close to suicide in 2006. She had a loaded gun in her hand but “something snapped” and she started to cry. At that point, she says she realized she had “too much to live for.”

John Rich’s Brand New Baby Boy Cash Rich with Sebastian Bach and Ted Nugent

Have I ever told you all how much I LOVE Twitter?  We have been able to find so many great stories, facts and mind numbing information from the 140 characters we are allowed to use.  Tonight though, it was a picture that caught my eye.  I have been looking for a picture of Cash Rich since the little guy came out. 

Looks like Cash already has major rock star friends thanks to his Daddy, John Rich.  Here is little Cash hanging out on the set of a video shoot with George Jones, Sebastian Bach and Ted Nugent.    Thank you to Sebastian for the twitpic.

A special thanks to the anonymous Tattle Tale who sent us the info.

Gretchen Wilson Throws Album Release Party in Style at John Rich’s Place

Gretchen Wilson held an album release party on Thursday night at John Rich’s Nashville home.  I Got Your Country Right Here hits stores on Tuesday, and it’s more than an album…it’s a celebration of independence for Gretchen.

“My idea of a party is calling my (family) and sitting around drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon, and maybe playing pool, lighting a fire or riding the four wheelers,” Wilson said Thursday night from the stage at the bar/club area of Rich’s home on Love Circle. “Tonight is about a lot of things. It’s about the record, my first on my own record label Redneck Records. It’s about the songwriters on the record. I only co-wrote two songs out of the 11.”

John Rich was pleased to host the event for his friend.

“I’ve been proud of Gretchen Wilson before, several times in my life,” Rich said. “I was proud watching her raise (9-year-old daughter) Grace. And I was proud watching her go from Printer’s Alley to a multi-platinum-selling artist. But I’m even prouder now, watching her get the crap kicked out of her. Gretchen Wilson is a straight line in a curveball industry. She does what she always does. The heroes in country music were all straight lines and they were unpopular more than they were popular.”

For Gretchen, this is a comeback of sorts, and it’s been an emotional journey.

Wilson took the microphone from Rich and thanked the Music-Row-insider-heavy crowd for coming out: “I’m a little nervous and a little teary-eyed. I didn’t think this would ever happen and I want to say ‘Thank you’ to everyone for being here. It lets me know how much support I have.”
