Ashley Monroe Says Miranda Lambert is “Like a Sister” . . . and Ashley’s Doing a Fall Tour
ASHLEY MONROE and MIRANDA LAMBERT were friends before they formed the Pistol Annies. And by now, it’s like they’re related. Ashley says, quote, “I’ve known Miranda for 10 years, and the love between us is like a sister.
“We’ve gone through a lot together as friends and through life.” And she’s positive they’re going to stay tight well into old age.
She adds, quote, “I can see her and I rockin’ it out when we’re 90 years old sitting there with a shotgun in her hand and rockin’ on a front porch somewhere . . . like ‘The Golden Girls’.”
Speaking of Ashley: She announced the details of a fall tour to promote her album “The Blade”. It’ll kick off October 1st in Macon, Georgia, and run through November 21st in Birmingham, Alabama. Dates are atAshleyMonroe.com.
KENNY CHESNEY would like you to believe he’s only a fitness freak when he’s on tour. For example, he’ll eat a bag of Doritos and drink a few beers when he’s kicking back and watching football. (Delicious Audio)
In other Kenny Chesney news: REESE WITHERSPOON posted a selfie she took of them at his show in Pasadena. She posted it on Instagram and wrote, “What Southern girls do on Saturday night. Gettin’ country with @KennyChesney.”
TIM MCGRAW has a good life. The proof is in the Instagram pic he posted where he’s riding a Flyboard. That’s the skateboard-type device that uses water jets to let you hover over the ocean, or some large body of water. You may remember when LEONARDO DICAPRIO hitched a ride on one.
Blake Shelton, Miranda Divorce Records Sealed
A former Oklahoma state representative says “there’s some shenanigans going on” with regards to the sealing of Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert’s divorce records. Former Rep. Aaron Stiles says the judge was not following the law when he sealed the couple’s records last week.
A state law requires a judge to seal divorce, civil and other public cases only if privacy interests outweigh the public interest, and in that case the order to seal must be made public.
No such order has been made public with regards to Lambert and Shelton’s case. Stiles says the laws are not being followed properly, telling the Oklahoman, “I can’t imagine a scenario where you would ever seal an entire civil or divorce case.”
Stiles wrote the law, which went into effect in Oklahoma in 2014. He did so to prevent cronyism or judges sealing the files of their friends when they wouldn’t do so for the average citizen. A second opinion on the matter came from Oklahoma City attorney Irven Box, who suggested a favor was done due to the couple’s celebrity status.
The country couple’s marriage was dissolved on July 20 after Shelton filed on July 6. Thus far, only the online docket has been made public. That document provides very little information.
“This is not the future we envisioned,” Shelton and Lambert said when news of the divorce broke. “It is with heavy hearts that we move forward separately. We are real people, with real lives, with real families, friends and colleagues. Therefore, we kindly ask for privacy and compassion concerning this very personal matter.”
They’d been married for just over four years at the time of the divorce and have no children together.
