ARTIST NEWSFLASH
■ EXCLUSIVE AOL BLOG PREVIEW-JEWEL PROVES YOU CAN GO HOME AGAIN: Jewel’s popular AOL blog series continues this week with the sixth installment in the series that finds the superstar touching on topics ranging from body image issues to her Texas motorcycle trek with husband Ty Murray.  In an exclusive preview of her newest blog [available tomorrow, Monday 3/29 at www.theboot.com], Jewel pays tribute to her hometown of Homer, Alaska, and bucks the cliché that you can’t go home again.  “Everyone thinks their hometown is special,” notes Jewel in her AOL blog.  “And I know that with time, nostalgic memories can surface, tugging at one’s heartstrings, casting a gauzy halo when thinking back to childhood haunts.  I know that with time, the unpleasant attributes can fade; giving way to only the rosy feeling of long ago, further aided by the fact that with distance, the heart can overlook any dark spots that once marred the imagination.  With time we grow more forgiving of flaws, that is for sure.  But in the case of my hometown, I assure you, it really is the best hometown a girl could have hoped to have.”  Last year, Jewel returned to Homer to perform a benefit concert at the high school auditorium, with proceeds going to a cause close to her heart: scholarships for aspiring artists.  You see, years prior, the residents of Homer joined together to help a young Jewel Kilcher raise enough money to attend art school.  Discover the full story in this week’s Jewel AOL Exclusive Blog.

No core country artist has crossed over more titles to AC. Rogers has scored eight AC No. 1s. Rogers: "I remember when [the AC charts] were established, I thought it was so cool. I've always been a believer in the strength of the song. My problem is I'm a country singer who's had a lot of other musical influences, so my stuff is going to tend to be more AC. That's always been my slam in country music, that I was never a true country artist, even though &q

ARRESTED now in Colorado...but what a story and week for 2 brothers and their stripper sister! Text messages and tweets by three fugitive siblings who shot at a police officer and robbed a bank reveal a dangerous mindset and a firm bond between the siblings, "We've certainly seen their mindset when...

Dougherty, 29; and half-brother Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, have been on the lam since Aug. 2 when they shot at a police officer attempting to pull their white Subaru Impreza over for speeding.
