The Kellie Pickler Report - June 14, 2007

What’s Kellie Pickler been up to? Keep reading to find out. Here’s some news (and pics) about her love life, singing the national anthem and a hilarious story about her…wardrobe malfunction(?).

Kellie and Jordin Tootoo

So, how is the relationship going between American Idol’s country starlet and Canada’s beloved NHL player???? Great! Kellie recently gushed that she and Jordin are each other’s biggest fans.

“We’re from real different places, but they’re both small towns so we’re a lot alike too,” Pickler told People on Wednesday. She and Jordin became friends when they each purchased condos in the same Nashville complex. Tootoo asked for Pickler’s phone number, according to People, and she said their first date was something familiar to him but foreign for her.

“We had a little communication problem at first,” Pickler told People of Tootoo, who has Inuit Eskimo lineage. “And I had never been to a hockey game – we didn’t have hockey in Albermarle. I had no idea what was going on, but I loved it anyway. It’s so fast and exciting!”

“We’re each other’s biggest fans,” she told People. “We let each other shine in our moments and are so proud of each other. I go to games and I’m the fan in the Predators jersey, screaming my head off. He comes to my concert with a Pickler t-shirt and he does the same.”

“I’m just so excited about seeing where he is from,” Pickler told People. “It will be a totally different culture and I’m fascinated by other cultures. I have no idea what to expect. I know they do a lot of hunting and fishing and they eat what they kill. It’s not like there’s a Subway down the street. It’s also been snowing up there, so I’m going to learn to drive a snowmobile. If it’s anything like 4-wheelin’, I’m set!”

Kellie Sings National Anthem

Kellie sang the national anthem before a Chicago Cubs baseball game against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday June 12, 2007 in Chicago.

Kellie’s Wardrobe Malfunction

While Kellie was performing with Brad Paisley’s Bonfires & Amplifiers Tour, she had just started singing her song, “Red High Heels” when she noticed that her own red high heels (how ironic) had punctured the carpet and were entrapped in the catwalk beneath. “I was trying to be sly at first and was wiggling my feet, but nothing–and then I started pulling harder and harder but they wouldn’t budge,” she said. “So when I sang the line ‘I’ve been sittin’ around,’ well, I sat down on the stage.

“So I’ve got the microphone in one hand and the other hand I’m pulling on my heel. I was able to get one shoe out, but all the people sitting near the stage can see what’s happened and they are laughing at me and I’m laughing at me. Suddenly, one of Brad’s crew guys came from out of nowhere and snatched me up and my other shoe popped out.”

Kellie said she started laughing so hard she barely made it through the song. “Then the next night when I walked out on stage and got to the place where I had gotten stuck, someone had taped a body outline of me on the stage, and I lost it again,” she laughed.
