Kellie Pickler To Possibly Star in Sitcom

If you've ever thought Kellie Pickler would be perfect in a "fish out of water" type sitcom, apparently you weren't the only one. There is an as-yet untitled Kellie Pickler Project in the works. If the project comes to fruition, producers will be Watson Pond and 19 Entertainment in association with 20th Century Fox Television. The multi-camera comedy will feature a small-town Southern girl (played by Kellie Pickler) whose life is turned upside down when she finds out that her biological father is a well-respected, Bill Clinton-esque governor on a clear path to the White House. His presidential aspirations are almost derailed when this mystery daughter? (Kellie) is suddenly thrust into his life, but what begins as a political scandal becomes an unlikely father-daughter relationship story. Kellies sweetness and simple country logic help to humanize her Slick Willie? politician father and breathe fresh air into the stale governors mansion. Read more about it on MyFox New York.

PEOPLE Magazine to Feature Kellie Pickler

If you've been looking to find out the latest news on former Idols, you might want to pick up an issue of PEOPLE. The popular magazine recently highlighted the careers of numerous former Idols, including its recent release of a Country Music issue with articles on Kellie Pickler, Carrie Underwood and Josh Gracin.

The article opens with three revelations about Kellie: 1. She loves shoes. 2. She eats a LOT. 3. She will belch and is proud of it. As she jokes to PEOPLE, "My grandma always told me to be a lady, but I'm guessing I have not fulfilled that wish." The article goes on to say that "Pickler is out to prove herself as a country singer with her debut album, Small Town Girl. Joe Galante of Sony BMG Nashville is amazed by Kellie, dishing to PEOPLE that "she brings an energy that you're just happy to be around. When you know the things she's been through, this woman has the right to be grumpy, moody, whatever. But that's never there." Kellie was quite candid with the magazine about the struggles she endured after her grandmother passed away from lung cancer when Kellie was 15. "I called her Mom; she was my best friend," says Pickler to PEOPLE. Kellie is gearing for this next chapter of her already promising career. As PEOPLE states, "Having just moved to Nashville—she made the drive herself in a U-Haul—Pickler is focusing on her new life."
