Alan Jackson's passion for all things automotive is well-known. Before he moved to Nashville, he owned more than three hundred cars, boats, motorcycles and trucks -- not all at the same time. Alan says, "Sometimes I'd go out and buy a car and sometimes I'd have it sold by five o'clock that afternoon." Though he's had his share of fancy rides over the years, these days he prefers to drives the kind of vehicles he had when he lived in Georgia before he was a star -- mostly trucks and occasionally a vintage car.
The title cut of Taylor Swift's upcoming Fearless C-D is sparking an Internet phenomenon. U-S-A Today reports that, after audio from a video of Taylor performing the song shot by a radio station last year found its way online (it's since been removed), scores of teenage girls have posted home-made videos of the song on You Tube. The clips technically infringe the song's copyright, but Taylor's label doesn't want to discourage fans from getting into the music. Taylor says, "If you know that somebody's passionate enough about a song to want to sing it, that's a really good indicator that it's going to do well." Fearless is set for release in November.

John Pala nearly lost his life when he was attacked by a bear in the Great Smoky Mountains earlier this week -- but he wasn't about to lose his shirt. The Tennessee man had one request to make of park rangers who managed to shoot and kill the critter -- he wanted them to retrieve his Lynyrd Skynyrd T-shirt from its stomach when they dismembered it for disposal. Pala got his wish -- and, we can only hope, a chorus or two of "Gimme Back My Bullets" for good measure.

A woman in Grafton, Wisconsin, has been arrested after failing to pay her library fines. Heidi Dalibor, 20, said she ignored the library’s calls, letters, and a notice to appear in court. She was still surprised when officers with a warrant knocked on her door, cuffed her and took her to the police station to be fingerprinted and photographed. Library director John Hanson said a couple of dozen people are cited each year for failure to return materials or pay fines. The incident cost Dalibor about $30 for the overdue paperbacks “White Oleander” and “Angels and Demons.” Her mother paid $172 to get Heidi out of jail.

But Short said that once inside the bathroom, she felt an overwhelming urge to push despite the fact that her water had not yet broken. She was assisted in the delivery by her husband, a volunteer firefighter who happened to be in the restaurant, and two police officers who arrived soon after the baby began her entry into the world. The mother said they named the child Taylor Winterpark Short, with her middle name being a tribute to the town of her birth.

Deputies in Bay County, Florida, were forced to use a Taser on an escaped emu named Plop-Plop. The large female bird escaped from a farm last weekend and ended up in a pen with some other animals. When deputies arrived, Plop-Plop “went kind of crazy,” said Sheriff’s deputy Randolph Grob. Officers didn’t want the bird to hurt itself, or them, so they used a stun gun to immobilize the emu. The bird was brought to the Animal Control Center, where she has made a full recovery.
Alabama, No. 3 on the list of most obese states, is cracking down on state workers who are too fat. The state has given its 37,527 employees one year to get fit – or pay $25 a month for insurance that is otherwise free.
