Alan Jackson -- who just celebrated surpassing the 50-million mark in career record sales, and also has 33 number-one hits to his credit -- never set any career goals. He says, "I'm not that competitive. Like Minnie Pearl always said, 'I'm just proud to be here and that's the truth.'" Alan's next single from his Good Times C-D is "Country Boy."
Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Josh Turner, LeAnn Rimes and Dolly Parton are auctioning the shirts off their backs for charity. The You Look Good in My Old T-Shirt Auction, which is being hosted by Keith's website, gives fans the opportunity to bid on autographed T-shirts once worn by the stars. Keith says, "My friends in the community have joined me in digging out some of our old T-shirts that we may have worn on stage or just around town, and we're putting them up for auction." Bids can be placed at KeithUrbanAuction-dot-com. All proceeds benefit St. Jude Children's hospital.

Carrie Underwood is among the 20 celebrities who have autographed purses to be auctioned off for Handbags for Hope with proceeds going to the South Carolina Ovarian Cancer
Foundation. Keith Anderson is a perennial favorite in country music "sexiest" polls -- having been named Country Weekly's third-sexiest bachelor and having appeared on People magazine's "50 Hottest Bachelors" list -- but he wasn't always a jaw-dropper. He tells us he has to endure lots of ribbing from old friends who remember when he wasn't so hot. Keith says they often call and tell him, "I got some pictures. I have some pictures from high school. Let's see if People magazine thinks this is sexy."
Toby Keith, Clint Black, Joe Nichols and Jessica Simpson are taking part in an ABC variety special honoring U.S. troops. They’ll perform from stages around the country and at military bases worldwide. The two-hour special, “America United: In Support of Our Troops,” airs September 7th on ABC

Additional artists are expected to be announced soon.
Over the last few years, Martina McBride has been learning a lot about wine, so it should come as no surprise that People-dot-com recently spotted her and her husband John sampling some vintages at a private tasting at a Sonoma, California winery. Martina says her preferences run toward cabernets. She tells us, "I like really big, rich wines, but I still have a lot to learn." While at the winery, Martina toured the property and signed a guitar for a charity auction.

Two northern California men and two men from Georgia will hold a press conference today to talk about their claims of having DNA proof Bigfoot exists. The two Georgia men claim they found the creature's body in the woods of northern Georgia. Photos released online show the large, hairy beast crammed into a freezer where it was apparently being preserved. The beast is seven-foot-seven and weighs more than 500 pounds, with red eyes and human-like teeth. The men say all will be revealed at today's Northern California press conference.
Older age does not necessarily mean a decrease in a person's sex drive. A new survey of the elderly by University of Chicago researchers has found that more than three-quarters of men ages 75 to 85 and around 50-percent of women that age are still interested in the hanky panky. The study polled three-thousand American men and women ages 57 to 80 who still live independently. The survey also found that two-thirds of the men and nearly half of the women had been sexually active in the past year. One hurdle in an active sex life for older Americans is losing their partner. Among women age 70 and older, the survey found that 70-percent have outlived or are separated from their spouses. Among men in that age group, 35-percent have lost a long-time partner.

Parents are angry about the newly released “High School Musical” underwear that say “Dive In.” One woman bought a 5-pack for her daughter, assuming that they were safe because they were “Disneyapproved.” “It is inappropriate because it is sexually suggestive,” said Sue Ralph. The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was also angered, saying, “This is part of a worrying trend of inappropriate clothing marketed at young children.”
A woman is being evicted from her apartment in a Welsh housing project because of her overactive flushing finger. Mynwen Jones angered neighbors with her odd bathroom habits -- including flushing the toilet twice after each use and using the facility at what were described as "anti-social hours." Jones was described as "irrational" and as a "nuisance neighbor" who would never change her ways in the court order evicting her.

A one-horse town wants to get rid of its one horse. The City Council in Hickman, Nebraska, is standing by an order that Harley Scott must move his horse, named Peter Rabbit. The horse is in a pasture in the fast-growing suburb of the state capital of Lincoln. The council voted this week to enforce a livestock ban. Scott says he has no intention of moving his horse. The 76-year-old says his family has had horses on the property since his father bought it in 1935. He adds his 32-year-old horse is too old to move. If Scott doesn’t comply by the September 15th deadline, he risks a possible
$100-a-day fine.
A problem with a pump cost a San Antonio, Texas, convenience store a fortune when premium gasoline accidentally sold for 38 cents a gallon. Manager Jim Duke at a Dill Food Market says that grade of gas was supposed to be selling for $3.89 a gallon. Nobody reported the mistake, which apparently started Tuesday afternoon. Duke said he noticed a lot of vehicles were being filled with premium and people were paying at the pump. He went out to check Wednesday and noticed the price error. The pump malfunction was fixed soon afterward. Duke said the gas station lost a lot of money. Just how much is still being tallied.
A Fullerton, California, woman gave birth without assistance on the front lawn of her home after driving home from the mall. Jessica Higgins, 36, didn’t expect to give birth for another six weeks, but her baby had other plans. With no hospital close by and time running out, Mary Claire was born right on her front lawn. Jessica called 911, but her young daughter had already arrived by the time police got there. Officers found Higgins standing in the driveway, rocking the newborn, whose umbilical cord was still attached. A few minutes later, Higgins’ shocked husband arrived – just in time to cut the cord. Jessica and her newborn were taken to a hospital.
