“The romance between Kellie and Kid has been the worst-kept secret in Nashville,” a country music industry insider spilled to The Globe this week.

The 23-year-old blonde, who got her start as a contestant on the fifth season of American Idol, dated hockey player Jordin Tootoo for nine months in 2007 before the athlete was caught cheating on her. According to The Globe, the country-rap-rockin’ Kid — who has constantly complained about having a “built-in bimbo attractor chip — began romancing Kellie after the two joined forces for a five-day USO concert tour for U.S. troops in the Middle East and Kosovo last December.

Despite his alleged romance with Kellie, whispers are also abound that Kid, 38, has been cozying up to his rumored former flame Sheryl Crow, 47. Sheryl and Kid met in 2001, when the stars collaborate on the Top 10 hit single “Picture.” They’ve managed to reignite reports that they are dating after turning up the heat during a duet at the CMT Music Awards on June 16.

“..Seeing Kid with Sheryl makes you wonder if he’s hooking up with both women! They’ve always been coy about their relationship.” the spy jokes.

Sheryl Crow’s “biological clock” caused the singer’s 2006 split from cyclist Lance Armstrong, the Tour de France champ reveals in an upcoming biography. Lance, which was written by John Wilcockson, arrives on booksellers’ shelves this summer.

Lance began dating the “Soak Up The Sun” hitmaker his divorce from Kristin Richards — the mother of his three children — in September 2003. Lance and Sheryl announced their engagement in 2005 only to breakup the next year.

“She wanted marriage, she wanted children; and not that I didn’t want that, but I didn’t want that at that time because I had just gotten out of a marriage, I’d just had kids [Luke, Grace and Bella],” Lance says in the book. “Yet we’re up against her biological clock — that pressure is what cracked it.”

Sheryl, now 47, adopted a baby boy, Wyatt Steven, in 2008.

Grammy-winning singer Sheryl Crow is giving away digital copies of her album Detours to the first 50,000 people who register three friends to vote. The giveaway kicks off the 18th Annual “Rock The Vote Voter’s Registration Drive.”

“I hope people wake up and emotionally engage in issues,” Sheryl told The Associated Press in a telephone interview on Wednesday.

“It’s about the issues that everyone’s talking about, but there’s a lot of hope,” Sheryl says of the Detours album, which covers topics including adoption, breast cancer, the war in Iraq, and the government’s response to Hurricane Katrina.

“At this moment in my life, writing about anything else would be uninteresting and impossible because I feel such urgency.”

Anyone who recruits three people to vote will have to log onto the Rock the Vote Web site and go through a verification process before receiving Sheryl’s album.

Sheryl Crow was this week’s featured artist on The Today Show’s Summer Concert Series. The Grammy Award-winning star performed her 2002 hit single “Soak Up The Sun” and chatted about her new album Detours with the cast of Today.

Sheryl performs “Gasoline” on Today.

Sheryl Crow’s first holiday album will go on sale exclusively at Hallmark Gold this September. The still-untitled project will feature re-recordings of Christmas classics like “White Christmas” “O Holy Night.”

“I had been wanting to do this for a while, so when the opportunity came up I just kind of jumped at it,” Sheryl says in this week’s edition of Billboard Magazine. “I love Christmas music; every year we have this ritual after the Christmas Eve service, 40 or 50 people come over to the house and we play Christmas music. We pretty much rely on the same Christmas music every year, and every year I’ve said, ‘I’m gonna make some Christmas music of my own.’”

Sheryl Crow plans to launch a clothing line in 2009. The Grammy-winning singer/songwriter’s collection will include jeans, vintage tees, and vests made of eco-friendly fabrics. A portion of the proceeds for the sale of the items will go to charity.

“She’s incredibly excited,” a pal tells Star. “She’s heading to Australia in October to meet with her partners and start production.”

Sheryl Crow is endorsing Illinois senator Barack Obama for President. The Grammy Award-winning star made her selection for Commander-in-Chief official in a blog posted on her website early Wednesday. Sheryl joins Scarlett Johansson, Ryan Phillippe, and Bruce Springsteen as the latest celebrity to chant Obama in ‘08.

“I have carefully watched, like everyone else, the campaigns of both the democrats, as well as the republican candidate, and I could safely say that only one candidate is speaking to the beliefs I feel this country was founded on….I believe, like Barack Obama, that we can change our future, but not by repeating our history. … It’s time for us to choose leaders who represent the best parts of ourselves.”

Sheryl Crow is set to launch her own denim fashion line this Summer. Sheryl will debut western/folked inspired new line Bootheel Trading Co in June. “I’ve always been kind of a jeans girl,” the singer says.

“I want to be able to provide a cool look for anybody, but particularly for those gals out there that have a fashion sense and want to feel good but can’t afford to buy the really high-end stuff.”

The twenty-seven piece collection has been developed by Sheryl’s personal stylist and inspired from pieces from the star’s own wardrobe. Retail prices ranger from $58 to $62 for bottoms, and $24 to $35 for tops.

Sheryl Crow performs on the Late Show with David Letterman early Tuesday. Sheryl will also be the featured musical guest on Wednesday morning’s episode of The View.
