You guys might want to keep her and her family in your prayers. Her father was just arrested for another assault on a female. They're saying it was a domestic dispute and he attacked her with a kitchen knife. This must be really hard for her. I know she had high hopes for their relationship and it just never worked out. And her little brother... that poor kid. I almost wish Kellie had custody of him. Their dad obviously has issues and her Grandpa isn't in the best of health. like Kellie, the mother isn't around. (They have different mom's I believe). Poor Kellie and her family. Things like this are never easy.

Kellie Pickler Is a Superstar in the Making
On Friday, Jan. 19, Kellie Pickler was co-hosting ABC-TV's The View in New York. The next Friday, she was in my kitchen in Tennessee.
I just naturally love Kellie Pickler. As my daughter-in-law, Sharon Collie Smith, observed, "She talks just like your grandnieces." When Kellie speaks, I hear the sounds of home. She remains exactly the same person I saw on American Idol in the auditions in Greensboro, N.C., and when she performed in competition on the show from Los Angeles. Like Earl Scruggs, Randy Travis and Charlie Daniels and yours truly, we are what we are -- and are the same people we have always been. Like Kellie, we are North Carolina proud.
There was a song titled "Country Girl" that went, "I'd be the same in Hollywood/Right in my own kitchen/I believe in fussing when I'm mad/And scratching when I'm itching." That describes Kellie Pickler verbatim. What you see is what you get.
Photos don't do Kellie justice. At age 20, she is the most beautiful female singer in all of country music. You can quote me on that.
When Kellie came to my house to tape CMT's Southern Fried Flicks With Hazel Smith, I learned she has more than a country attitude. Being from the same part of the country, I knew what Kellie, more than likely, enjoyed eating, so I floured and fried up some tenderloin and made a pot of pinto beans, macaroni and cheese, coleslaw, cornbread and fudge pie. And did that girl smack her lips. I think she said she had three helpings of mac and cheese and three slices of fudge pie, and she kept on eating pinto beans.
Kellie said she has a new stove she's never used because she can't cook. She's made instant oatmeal a couple times in her microwave.
I told Kellie to her face that she is like Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton. Like those two legends, when Kellie opens her mouth to sing, the truth comes out. Kellie's eyes got all teary when she heard me say that. She's dying to meet Dolly, her all-time hero.
Kellie Pickler is the real deal. Don't forget to watch on Feb. 18 when she appears on CMT's Southern Fried Flicks With Hazel Smith.

Kellie did a great job singing the national anthem at the Busch race today in Daytona. I love her new short hair style.

I agree. She did an amazing job. I can't decide if I like the short or long hair better though. She looks beautiful either way.

Yes, she most certainly is very talented. I continue to be blown away by her. She is totally amazing. And yes she has overcome so much and is an inspiration to so many people because she turned all of that into something positive. Truly an amazing person.

Did you guys see her on Idol last night? OMG she was SO good. I was happy she could get through the song without breaking down this time. She has really done well for herself. And man oh man, did she look beautiful. I love that colr on her. I do think she looks a lot older but who cares... she looks GREAT!! and with all the personal trauma in her life right now, its amazing how she can still be the same Kellie. But she really is. She is really an amazing person with an incredible talent. You Go Kellie!!

I found this on another board. Great review for Kellie from Billboard Magazine:
I Wonder KELLIE PICKLER Label: BNA
The second single from Kellie Pickler's striking debut, "Small Town Girl," rips a page from her diary. She co-wrote this revealing ballad about her mother, who left when Pickler was a child, and the artist now has no contact with her. In the lyric, Pickler reflects on missed moments (braiding hair, getting ready for prom) and wonders if her mother ever thinks about her. The most powerful music is that which draws from real life, and this is heartbreakingly honest and vulnerable. Yet among the hurt and confusion, Pickler emerges as a survivor. Country music at its finest from one of the format's most impressive new talents. —Deborah Evans Price
