Why Lilly Scott Was Voted Off "American Idol"
LOS ANGELES
Tweens probably don't know who Patsy Cline is. Lilly Scott thinks that's one of the reasons she was voted off "American Idol" Thursday night. Her last song on Idol was "I Fall to Pieces." In a conference call Friday, Scott says her underground fan base probably was supporting her "in their hearts and not actually voting." And, Scott says people could have assumed she was safe "and chose not to vote." Alex Lambert was just as surprised he didn't make it into the Top-12 since his fellow singers convinced him he was a lock. But, Lambert says every time he got up there he couldn't sing his best because he "was so nervous." Katelyn Epperly says she's going back to Des Moines to work because she's "flat broke." But, she'll keep writing music. And, Todrick Hall says he's campaigning to be on "Glee."

Dolly Parton's Trinkets And Treasures
NASHVILLE, Tenn.
Dolly Parton must have a direct line to the weather gods. It was raining in Nashville on Friday. But, miraculously, the sun came out just in time for her to cut the pink ribbon on her new store called Dolly Parton's Trinkets and Treasures. Parton is thanking everyone who was "braving the rain" to come to her store opening.

Jewel Celebrates - With Target Practice
Country Music World
Here's how Jewel decompresses after a hard day or week or month in the studio. She goes target shooting. That's what she's just done. Jewel says the vocals for her new album are now finished. That, combined with a "lovely spring day" in Texas, and she had the perfect reason to go target shooting. Jewel has posted a photo of herself in mid-shoot and says "nice thing about having our own land is we don't need to go leave to find a shooting range."

John Corbett - What Kind Of Country
PHOENIX
John Corbett isn't sure where his band fits in musically. He tells the Arizona Republic newspaper they're "kind of like a bar band. It would be more like a country Springsteen than anything." Corbett says he'd like to go back to Nashville and make another record. But, he doesn't have the time it takes. He'll be going back to work on the Showtime series, "The United States of Tara," at the end of July or beginning of August. That will lock up four or five months. So, he says he doesn't have a place in his schedule where he can go to Nashville and "take as much time" as he needs.
