Just because you play for a team called the Colts doesn't make you a country singer -- but Peyton Manning tried anyway.
Peyton -- dressed in sensible pair of khakis and a polo shirt -- got a drunken crowd roaring at a bar in Key West, as he and Kenny Chesney busted out a version of "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" by David Allen Coe.
The singing wasn't horrible -- but the faces he makes are priceless.
Kenny Chesney partied with all sorts of hot chicks in Vegas this week -- too bad he only saw 'em with about 20% of his eyeballs. SpyOnVegas snapped the squinty-faced singer behind songs like "Beer in Mexico" and "Keg in the Closet" at the Playboy club looking like .... well, he wasn't looking at all.
Instead, the former Mr. Renee Zellweger was focused on trying not to fall over, as two blondes used the guy as a human stripper pole. Kenny look a little stiff to you?
Elvis Presley, George Burns and James Brown are all alive and kickin' -- for a new ABC reality show.
Auditions took place this week for the show "The Next Best Thing," ABC is searching for the best celebrity impersonator -- and celeb lookalikes (read: wackos) came out of the termite infested woodwork to cause troubled double-takes on the streets of New York.
Doppelgangers for Kenny Chesney and John Travolta showed up as well -- though after taking a look at them, it's clear those two celebs have no need to worry about identity theft.
How do these stars earn a star on the Walk of Fame when they've only been around for a mere 15 minutes? --Trina
It's true, Trina -- more and more young stars seem to be getting their names embossed in Hollywood's Walk of Fame. (25-year-old Britney Spears already has one!) But here's what we can tell you about the growing trend: at least $15,000 is what it costs to achieve posterity on the infamous Hollywood walk, maintained by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. And that nice chunk of money can come from the star, or more likely, a sponsor (i.e., record company or movie studio). The Walk of Fame Committee then determines if that name is to be forever etched into history!
Someone called Paris Hilton a "fart in a mitten." What does that mean? --Jill
Oh yeah, Jill! Everyone wants to know what it means, if anything. Well, we did some digging and it really does mean something. Fart in a mitten is defined as an odor that becomes trapped in fabrics, which you just can't eliminate. We're guessing the person who made the comment thinks Paris is the odor and the world is the fabric.

It's true, Janet -- it seems as if Kenny Chesney may have been born with a hat on his head, as he's always wearing one. But we copped a picture of him sans accessory here in Las Vegas last year where it was undoubtedly too hot to be covering up. And to his look, we say rock on, Kenny, rock on!
And speaking of things people (usually) never go without, check out Kenny's ex Renee Zellweger and her recent lack of luck in the garment department.
How are Halle and Gabriel doing? --Bill
Bill, you can breathe easier now, for we have your Halle Berry scoop. Her love life is sailing along as smooth as anyone could dream. She and loverboy Gabriel Aubry have been seen all over town buying art and visiting pet stores, and they've even been spotted observing the construction of their Hollywood Hills home!
Is Lindsay Lohan really living out of a hotel? --Lauren
It's true, Lauren -- Lindsay currently resides in a hotel. But it's a fabulous hotel! The Chateau Marmont is what she calls home these days, after putting her West Hollywood condo up for sale for $1.9 million at the end of this summer. While filming for the flick "Georgia Rule," Lohan finds it easier to shack up in the Sunset strip's swanky hotel.
In honor of George Clooney joining Brad Pitt as the only two-time Sexiest Man Alive, we've subtitled this week's all-male revue in similar, hyperbolic fashion. And we can't help but also think of Mel Gibson's immortal words back in 1985 upon being crowned the first such honoree: "That implies there are a lot of dead guys who got more points than I did."
O.J. Simpson ("Scariest Man Alive"): Resurrecting a cold case that even his Naked Gun pals could solve, Number #32 has suddenly decided to tackle third and very long with a most unusual play call – the hypothetical confession (or, it all depends what your definition of "if" is). Crusading dad Ron Goldman has already moved to seize any of the Florida author's personal proceeds from the new book; publisher Judith Regan has tried to justify her actions via a strained I-was-a-victim-too plea on The Drudge Report. But there's no getting around it; if Truman Capote were around today, he'd be readying a much better book about O.J., one that could very easily be called In Bold Blood.

On Monday's episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Ellen has two of showbiz's most eligible bachelors: Matthew Perry and Kenny Chesney.
Perry, who can currently be seen on NBC's "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," says he only has time for one person in his life: Aaron Sorkin. "Great writer and damned if he isn't a great kisser," Perry joked.
As for Cheseny -- who was famously married to Renée Zellweger for a short time last year -- he's single, open to marriage again, and says he's still friends with Renée -- though Ellen isn't quite buying it.
Be sure to catch Kenny and Matt on Monday on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
Singer Kenny Chesney started his career playing in bars and clubs for college students.
After being on tour in large arenas and stadiums, Chesney played in front of about 500 Sunday night at a bar near the University of Tennessee in a benefit for Habitat for Humanity. Tickets sold out quickly even though the show at the New Amsterdam Bar and Grill was not highly publicized.
"We spent so much of the time off the road that we wanted to get the band back together," said Chesney, who is from nearby Luttrell.
"We've been playing so many big places over the last few years that I wanted the band to learn how to love playing music again. I've got friends in the business that get really jaded really quickly. It's important to remember where you come from by playing smaller venues like this."
New men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl visited Chesney in his tour bus before the show.
Chesney was named entertainer of the year at both the Country Music Association Awards in November and the Academy of Country Music Awards in May.
It may not have been evident at the time, but when Tom Cruise was leaping up and down on Oprah Winfrey's couch, he was like a piston, churning the wheels of fate.
Had Cruise not chosen to express his love for Katie Holmes on that momentous May day, 2005 might have been very different. Just imagine:
Hurt by Cruise's cold, somber manner on "Oprah," Holmes storms out of the studio and announces that she's leaving the "War of the Worlds" star.
"He could have at least hugged an ottoman," Holmes says. Spurned by the 27-year-old beauty, Cruise undergoes a period of self-examination and gives up Scientology. Devastated over losing its most famous member, the church quickly recruits Russell Crowe.
Enlightenment soothes Crowe's anger, and the notorious phone-tossing incident never happens (although there are reports of the actor flicking a Cheez-It at a hotel bellboy).
His good reputation takes a hit, though, when Crowe (promoting "Cinderella Man") calls "Today" host Matt Lauer "glib" while discussing medication. The word is apparently central to Scientology beliefs - like "sin" is for Catholics.
Crowe's "Cinderella Man" co-star, Renee Zellweger, thrown by the brouhaha, seeks solace not in country star Kenny Chesney, but someone just as surprising. She marries "American Idol" finalist Bo Bice, a decision criticized by Simon Cowell.
The wedding news breaks just as the circulatory dating of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn hits full stride. It becomes too much for tabloid editors, who begin referring to them as Brangelinastonaughn.
The partner-swapping also elicits fierce debate over whether each relationship is based on true love or strategic image-making and movie-selling. The theory - dubbed "intelligent design" - doesn't quite make it to the Supreme Court.
One case that does make it to a courtroom, though, is Anna Nicole Smith's suit against Kanye West alleging that his hit song "Gold Digger" is about her. The trial is dismissed, though, after Smith shows up late to court in her pajamas.
West remains bitter, a feeling intensified by the mishandling of Hurricane Katrina. At a telethon, his co-presenter, Mike Myers, is replaced at the last minute by Michael Jackson. A confused West then proclaims: "George Bush hates white people."
Distraught over his mistake, West joins Dave Chappelle in South Africa.
Paris Hilton never meets her would-be fiance, Paris Latsis. Instead, she becomes engaged to herself. "That's hot," she claims.
The engagement lasts three weeks before splintering amid a dispute over the prenuptial agreement.
Jessica Simpson, witnessing Hilton's breakup drama, opts to stay married to Nick Lachey. Their "Newlyweds" show is renamed "Mildly Satisfied, Sort of Unhappy Married Couple, Remaining Together for Financial Reasons - Like Everyone Else."
By some strange coincidence, Martha Stewart and New York Times reporter Judith Miller end up at the same prison. Stewart brightens up Miller's cell with curtains and Miller helps Stewart with her "Apprentice" catch phrase.
The pair rules the jail, forming the "Valerie Plame Gang" in which each member must get a tattoo reading "VPG for Life: Disclose this!"
In this alternate reality, though, Britney Spears and Kevin Federline remain together. Even history's left-hand turns can't stop true love.
Renee Zellweger's marriage to country crooner Kenny Chesney never existed -- at least in the eyes of the law.
The couple's union has been annulled by the Los Angeles Superior Court, according to documents obtained this week by the television show "Extra." Publicists for Zellweger and Chesney did not return calls to The Associated Press on Wednesday.
An annulment is a judicial declaration that a marriage never legally existed.
In California, an annulment may be granted when either party in the marriage is under 18, of unsound mind, bound to a previous marriage or if the consent to marry was obtained by fraud or force.
In court papers filed last September, Zellweger listed "fraud" as the reason she was seeking an annulment after four months of marriage.
The Oscar-winning actress later issued a statement saying the term was "simply legal language and not a reflection of Kenny's character."
Zellweger, 36, and Chesney, 37, wed in a small ceremony on the Caribbean island of St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands in May. It was the first marriage for both.
