Country and The Idol

Country singer, Jason Aldean, married since 2001 to his high school sweetheart, was found kissing up on American Idol Season 11 contestant, Brittany Kerr. Aparently, Aldean was out on tour and was partying at a [image error]bar and was caught on film kissing the singer, Charlotte Bobcats cheerleader.

Aldean, father of two, didn’t defend his actions, but quickly apologized claiming he’d had too much to drink and stating that touring was hard on his marriage, and that he and his wife will need to learn how to deal with it….Hmmm, that sounds an awful lot like defending himself (“It was the booze and the touring.”)

Look, if you aren’t happy in your marriage, booze, space from your spouse and hanging with cheerleaders is guaranteed to lead you to some sticky situations. The thing to do is either work on the marriage, or stay clear of alcohol until you can. Long distance relationships are a killer, but if the marriage is worthwhile, being proactive and investing in the relationship is far easier than back-pedaling, making excuses and landing yourself on TMZ and int he doghouse.
