Ex-sports greats Evert, Norman wed in Bahamas
Ex-sports greats Evert, Norman wed in Bahamas
NASSAU (Reuters) - Ex-golfer Greg Norman and tennis legend Chris Evert were married on Saturday in a seaside ceremony held under a veil of tight security on Paradise Island in the Bahamas.Officers from the Royal Bahamas Police Force and local security staff kept reporters, photographers and television crews from straying beyond checkpoints set up well around the perimeter of the One & Only Ocean Club resort where the celebrity couple tied the knot at sunset.
But People magazine said Evert and Norman, both 53, exchanged vows in front of 140 family and friends, including U.S. television personality Matt Lauer and singer-songwriter Corey Hart.
Evert's youngest son Colton, 12, served as ring bearer, and sons Nicky, 14, and Alex, 16, walked her down the aisle. Also present were Norman's daughter Morgan, 23, and son Gregory Jr., 21, who served as best man, the magazine said.
Media reports have said the couple, who arrived in the Bahamas on Norman's private jet on Thursday, shelled out up to $2 million for their lavish weekend nuptials.
Evert, who won 18 Grand Slam singles titles, divorced former husband Andy Mill, a World Cup and Olympic skier from Colorado, last December after 18 years of marriage.
Norman reached a divorce settlement with his wife of 26 years, Laura Andrassy, in September. The Australian won the British Open in 1986 and 1993.

Lindsay Lohan’s Labor Pains
Lindsay Lohan’s Labor Pains
Well on her way to an acting career revival, Lindsay Lohan was spotted taking a cigarette break on the set of her new movie "Labor Pains," in which she plays a secretary who fakes a pregnancy in order to keep her job.
And LiLo looked to be on top of her game, rocking a blue top and black skirt teamed with a pair of fuzzy pink sandals and her usual black Ray Ban sunglasses.
From all accounts, the "Mean Girls" actress has shed her 'difficult to work with' reputation. Producer Lati Grobman told press, "We were a little bit reluctant to work with her. But she's been amazing."
And it sounds like she is well on her way to a booming (again) film career. "She's so natural at what she does. I've never seen one take where she's off. The difference between her and the other girls that are naughty in the business is that she's actually talented. It's not [like] Paris Hilton and the rest of them. We took the chance. It's good that we did. So far, so good."
In related news, Lindsay has officially taken her name out of the running for an Emmy for her guest spot on one episode Ugly Betty, given the fact that she'll have a lot more exposure next season when she's on five episodes. Her rep said, "The appearance was brief. We made a decision to wait."
Enjoy the pictures of Lindsay Lohan on the set of "Labor Pains" (June 18).

'Stan' by Your Man- Eminem made amends with critics who accused the potty-mouthed rapper of homophobia when he performed his hit 'Stan' with Elton John at the Grammy Awards, closing with a big, sloppy man-hug. Whatever the PR benefits, Em didn't exactly earn himself any genius awards when he claimed not to know that Elton is gay.

Relentless Germans turn tables on Turkey
Relentless Germans turn tables on Turkey
Relentless Germans turn tables on Turkey
If Germany are to land a fourth European Championship and their first major title since 1996 coach Joachim Loew will have to cut out this worrying tendency towards complacency.
Relentless Germans turn tables on Turkey
Germany made all the mistakes they had promised to avoid in Wednesday's Euro 2008 semi-final against Turkey but they squeezed through 3-2 after learning a lesson from their devastated opponents.
For most of an error-strewn match at St Jakob Park in Basel, Germany were too casual on the ball, too predictable in their movements and lacked the sort of patience you need to find the space and time to hurt a side defending with such concentration.
They underestimated Turkey's ability in attack and made careless mistakes in defence, while creaking goalkeeper Jens Lehmann looked every one of his 38 years.
Turkey so near but Germany triumph
Turkey flirted with unlikely glory but in the end it was Germany [Images], as usual, who battled into another major final with a thrilling last-gasp 3-2 victory in Basel on Wednesday at Euro 2008 [Images].
Germany started as hot favourites against a Turkish side depleted by suspensions and injuries but mostly looked second best in the most exciting match of the tournament so far.
In the end, after a game which had every twist and turn imaginable, Germany grabbed a last-minute winner through fullback Philipp Lahm after Turkey looked to have forced the match into extra time with a late goal themselves.
Russia's sleeping giant awakes
Some of the thrills were lost on television audiences as a storm in Vienna cut the signal from the tournament's International Broadcasting Centre in the Austrian capital, blacking out screens during and at the end of the second half.
In Vienna, where Thursday's second semi-final between Russia [Images] and Spain will be played at the Ernst Happel stadium, thousands of fans were evacuated from public viewing areas because of the storm.
Germany, who had also won their quarter-final 3-2 versus Portugal, said they would not be complacent against the Turkish underdogs but showed every sign of falling right into that trap.
The Turks dominated the early play and took a well-deserved lead in the 22nd minute after Kazim Kazim had struck the bar for the second time.
This time Ugur Boral was on hand to turn in the rebound with German goalkeeper Jens Lehmann haplessly scrambling to clear with first his leg then his hand.
Germany levelled against the run of play just four minutes later with one of the best goals of the tournament, Bastian Schweinsteiger neatly flicking home a Lukas Podolski cross.
REAL DRAMA
But the real drama was reserved for the closing minutes.
Germany seemed to have scored the winner in the 79th when Turkish keeper Rustu Recber rashly came out of his goal and failed to deal with a cross, leaving Miroslav Klose [Images] to head into an empty net.
But the plucky Turks were not done yet. Semih Senturk, scorer of the sensational last-minute equaliser against Croatia in the quarter-final, netted again four minutes from time with a close range effort.
Faltering Spain face in-form Russia
The match was heading for extra time when Lahm popped up in the Turkish box and smashed the ball home to the huge relief of his team.
"It was one of most beautiful moments in my life, getting into the final," he said. "We missed that at the [2006] World Cup. Today it worked out."
Turkey, who had 20 shots to Germany's nine, at times had observers wondering whether they were not going to repeat Greece's unlikely triumph at Euro 2004 in Portugal.
Russia, another outsider who have done better than many expected, prepared for their clash with Spain by focusing on the match and ignoring transfer rumours surrounding their players.
Their Dutch coach Guus Hiddink said his players, almost all with Russian clubs, are keeping their feet on the ground.
"Maybe they get calls that I don't want but I can't control that," he said. "But...they are very stable and they love to play football. It doesn't distract them."
Spain did have a distraction with Turkish club Fenerbahce announcing they had reached agreement with their national team coach Luis Aragones to take over in Istanbul next season.
But Aragones said he is bewildered by the announcement made earlier in the day and that he had signed nothing.

Tsvangirai briefly leaves Dutch Embassy
Tsvangirai briefly leaves Dutch Embassy
HARARE, Zimbabwe - Zimbabwe's opposition leader briefly emerged from his refuge at the Dutch Embassy Wednesday and called for African leaders to guide talks to end Zimbabwe's crisis, saying a presidential runoff this week was no solutionMorgan Tsvangirai said the goal of the talks would be forming a coalition transitional authority for his country. He said talks could not begin until there was an end to attacks on his supporters blamed on President Robert Mugabe's government and a release of "political prisoners," including top opposition figure Tendai Biti, jailed on treason charges.
"What is important is that both parties must realize the country is burning and the only way is to sit down and find a way out of it," Tsvangirai told reporters at his Harare home after leaving the embassy.
Zimbabwean Deputy Information Minister Bright Matonga reacted with derision.
"Is he out of his mind?" Matonga said.
Matonga said the government and Mugabe's ZANU-PF were focused on the election. Tsvangirai will be on the ballot because his withdrawal came too late to be valid, electoral officials said.
"There will definitely be elections on Friday," Matonga said.
Tsvangirai looked relaxed at the press conference, often smiling and joking, but returned to the Dutch Embassy soon after.
Dutch Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen spoke with Tsvangirai and "underlined he is welcome to stay as long as he wants," Netherlands' Foreign Ministry spokesman Bart Rijs said. He declined comment on Tsvangirai's future plans.
Tsvangirai first took refuge in the embassy Sunday after withdrawing from the country's presidential elections, saying he feared for his safety.
A commentary by Tsvangirai in the British newspaper The Guardian called for U.N. peacekeepers to help prepare the way for new elections. Asked about that in Harare, Tsvangirai said: "What do you do when you don't have guns and the people are being brutalized out there?"
He stressed he was not calling for military intervention.
Tsvangirai, leader of the Movement for Democratic Change opposition party, had fled to the Dutch Embassy Sunday following the announcement of his withdrawal from the runoff. He sought refuge after getting a tip soldiers were headed to his home.
Mugabe, by all indications intent on extending his nearly three-decade rule, insists Friday's vote will go ahead. Mugabe has grown only more defiant in the face of growing international pressure.
"The election is not a solution," Tsvangirai said. "What is a solution is some sort of transitional process to address the critical issues facing the country.
"We are making proposals Mugabe has to accept."
While Tsvangirai did not spell out how the transitional body would work, he has insisted in the past he lead and Mugabe have no role in any coalition. Mugabe is refusing to yield power. Tsvangirai's claim to leadership is based on his having come first in a field of four in the first round of presidential voting March 29, though he did not win the 50 percent plus one vote necessary to avoid a runoff.
Tsvangirai's party and its allies also won control of Parliament in the March voting — the first time since independence from Britain in 1980 that Mugabe's ZANU-PF party failed to win a parliamentary majority.
Tsvangirai said he was asking the African Union, whose heads of state were to hold a regular summit in Egypt next week, to step in to take over mediation that so far has been in the hands of South African President Thabo Mbeki and a southern African regional group. Tsvangirai had previously called on Mbeki to step aside, accusing him of bias in Mugabe's favor and saying his "quiet diplomacy" was not working.
Tsvangirai said the AU mediation he was proposing cannot "be a continuation of talks and talks about talks that have been largely fruitless for several years. The time for actions is now. The people and the country can wait no longer. We need to show leadership."
In The Guardian, Tsvangirai acknowledged calling for international intervention was sensitive, but said it would offer "the best chance the people of Zimbabwe would get to see their views recorded fairly and justly."
"We do not want armed conflict, but the people of Zimbabwe need the words of indignation from global leaders to be backed by the moral rectitude of military force," he said in The Guardian. "Such a force would be in the role of peacekeepers, not troublemakers. They would separate the people from their oppressors and cast the protective shield around the democratic process for which Zimbabwe yearns."
Officials from Tsvangirai's party said police raided one of their provincial offices. Scores of opposition activists, including high-ranking party members, have been attacked or killed. The MDC's No. 2 official has been jailed since earlier this month on treason charges — which can carry the death penalty.
Regional heads of state, meanwhile, were meeting in Swaziland in hopes of finding a solution for Zimbabwe.
The Southern African Development Community meeting, though, did not include South African President Mbeki, who was appointed by the bloc more than a year ago to mediate between Mugabe and Tsvangirai.
Mbeki has refused to publicly denounce Mugabe even as other African leaders step up their criticism, saying confrontation could backfire.
Tsvangirai wrote in The Guardian that Mbeki's approach "sought to massage a defeated dictator rather than show him the door and prod him towards it."
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown pledged to push for new European Union sanctions against Robert Mugabe's government in Zimbabwe — and promised to help the southern African country if democracy returns.
Brown told lawmakers that he hopes talks between the United Nations and African Union can end the country's political crisis, which deepened when Zimbabwe's opposition withdrew from Friday's presidential runoff amid widespread violence and intimidation.
He said Britain is ready to tighten measures against the government in Harare and will ban Zimbabwe's cricket team from touring Britain next year. Britain's Culture Secretary Andy Burnham said Britain will ban the team because of the close links it has with Mugabe.
"We do know the names of the individuals who are surrounding Mugabe at the moment, we know the names of the criminal cabal that is trying to keep him in power, and we will name those individuals and these will be part of the next stage of the sanctions," Brown said.
Anne Hathaway: Back on the Market
Anne Hathaway: Back on the Market
If you've wondered why Anne Hathaway has been out and about without her boyfriend Raffaello Follieri as of late, we've got your answer- she dumped him.
According to a source close to the "Devil Wears Prada" actress, Follieri has been embroiled in too much scandal lately, and Anne just couldn't take it anymore.
The source revealed, "It's heartbreaking for her to dump him and she's devastated that it's come to this, but she really didn't have a choice. His scandals were hurting her reputation."
And this isn't the first time Raffaello's shady ways have been a problem… they broke up for a bit last year when he was sued by a former business associate, and was shortly thereafter arrested for bouncing a $215,000 check to a public relations firm.
Anne and Raffaello dated for four years.

Don Imus says race comment was misunderstood
Don Imus says race comment was misunderstood
NEW YORK - Months after returning to the radio with a pledge to mend the wounds caused by his comments about a women's basketball team, Don Imus is once again defending on-air remarks regarding raceDuring an on-air conversation Monday about the arrests of suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam Jones, Imus asked, "What color is he?"
Told by sports announcer Warner Wolf that Jones, who used to be nicknamed Pacman, is "African-American," Imus responded: "There you go. Now we know."
In the face of criticism that ensued, Imus said Monday that he had been misunderstood.
"I meant that he was being picked on because he's black," Imus said in a statement released by his spokesman.
The on-air exchange came six months after Imus' return to work on a new show on WABC-AM following his firing from MSNBC and CBS Radio for making a sexist and racially charged comment about the Rutgers University women's basketball team. When he returned to work, Imus gave a lengthy on-air apology and pledged to use his new show to foster an open dialogue on race relations.
Before Imus offered his explanation Monday, civil rights leader Al Sharpton criticized the remark, saying his National Action Network would look into it.
"I find the inference of his remark disturbing because it plays into stereotypes," Sharpton said in a statement. "We will determine in the next day or so whether or not his remark warrants direct action on our part."
Sharpton was one of the chief critics who successfully pushed for Imus' firing from his televised radio show in April 2007.
WABC and Citadel Broadcasting Corp. Vice President Phil Boyce said Imus would explain his comments on his Tuesday morning show and said it was unlikely the broadcasters would take disciplinary action.
Boyce said Imus had explained himself in a private conversation Monday afternoon and the explanation was satisfactory.
"I think some people may be misunderstanding what he meant," Boyce said.
Jones' attorney did not immediately respond to an e-mail.
Rutgers University women's basketball spokeswoman Stacey Brann said there was "no need to revisit the past" and wouldn't comment further.
On Monday's show, Imus and Wolf were discussing Jones' request Saturday that people stop using his nickname. Wolf explained Jones was suspended from the NFL following a shooting at a Las Vegas nightclub, and he added that Jones had been "arrested six times since being drafted by Tennessee in 2005."

Obama raps McCain on flood prevention programs
Obama raps McCain on flood prevention programs
MIAMI - With communities in the Midwest still under water, Democrat Barack Obama on Saturday criticized Republican John McCain for opposing federal spending on flood prevention programs and opened a new debate in the White House race. McCain's campaign said Obama was confusing the facts and engaging in typical political attacks that the Democrat rejects in his speeches.
Both candidates have visited the flood zones in the past two weeks, since tornadoes hit and heavy rains sent rivers surging over their banks. At least 24 people were killed, the majority in Iowa.
Obama, an Illinois senator, canceled a visit to eastern Iowa last week at the request of state officials and instead went to fill sandbags in Quincy, Ill. McCain, an Arizona senator, toured flood damage in Iowa Thursday.
"I know that Sen. McCain felt as strongly as I did," Obama said, "feeling enormous sympathy for the victims of the recent flooding. I'm sure they appreciated the sentiment, but they probably would have appreciated it even more if Sen. McCain hadn't opposed legislation to fund levees and flood control programs, which he considers pork."
The bill that McCain opposed spent $23 billion on water projects. It passed Congress overwhelmingly and was vetoed by President Bush because he said it spent too much on lawmaker's pet projects. Congress voted to override the veto, the first time of Bush's presidency.
The bill funded hundreds of projects — such as dams, sewage plants and beach restoration — that are important to local communities and their representatives. It also included money for the hurricane-hit Gulf Coast and for Florida Everglades restoration efforts.
McCain's campaign said Obama opposed an amendment that McCain co-sponsored to prioritize flood control spending. The bipartisan amendment, which failed overwhelmingly on a 69-22 vote, would have made sure "lifesaving levees like those that so tragically failed in Iowa and Missouri are given the highest priority and fixed first," said McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds.
"It is beyond the pale that Barack Obama would attack John McCain for actually trying to fix the problem and change the way Washington works," Bounds said. "Barack Obama's willingness to continue the status quo pork-barrel politics in Washington, and then engage in political attacks that entirely disregard the facts, once again fundamentally shows that he's nothing more than a typical politician."
Obama's criticism of McCain came in a speech to the U.S. Conference of Mayors. He told the city leaders that he would be their partner and appoint the first White House Director of Urban Policy to help them cut through federal bureaucracies. The promise sparked a standing ovation.
He promised money for police, higher-paid teachers, transit, housing and broadband Internet. He said he would create jobs by rebuilding roads, bridges and other infrastructure projects. "That will be the cause of my presidency," he said.
And he announced a new program to offer matching grants that encourage businesses, government and university leaders to collaborate on regional economic clusters, such as the North Carolina Research Triangle Park and Nashville's entertainment cluster. The campaign said the proposal would cost $200 million a year and would be funded by improving government efficiency.
Naomi Campbell says racist slur sparked air rage
Naomi Campbell says racist slur sparked air rage
LONDON (Reuters) - British Airways rejected claims of racism on Saturday after supermodel Naomi Campbell, who pleaded guilty to assault in a foul-mouthed "air rage" incident, said she was likened to a black "Golliwog" doll during the flight. BA said it did not accept the accusation made by Campbell, who was convicted of assault on Friday and sentenced to 200 hours of unpaid community work, that someone on the flight called her a "Golliwog supermodel."
"British Airways does not accept any allegations of racism," the airline said in a statement. "We are proud of our diversity.
"We have strict policies concerning dignity at work and have long-standing training programs on diversity and inclusion."
Campbell, 38, told Sky News in an interview that her flash of air rage, in which she assaulted two police officers, swore repeatedly and screamed abuse at the captain of the Los Angeles-bound BA flight, was partly prompted by racist comments.
"I was called a racial name on that flight and that was part of my reaction," she said. "I was called a 'Golliwog supermodel' -- I don't think that's really fair, do you?"
Asked who had used the term, which refers to a black rag doll from children's literature, Campbell said: "Someone on the flight, not the passenger."
During Campbell's court case, prosecutors said Campbell ordered the airline captain to find her missing luggage and became violent when police tried to escort her off the aircraft.
The model pleaded guilty to assaulting two police officers and to a public order offence. Neither she nor her lawyers mentioned racist comments during her court case.
As well as the community service sentence, Campbell was ordered to pay 200 pounds ($395) compensation to one of the police officers, 150 pounds to the captain and 2,300 pounds in fines.
In the Sky interview, Campbell apologized to London's Metropolitan Police force, but added: "As for British Airways, I just think they are disgusting."
Campbell is famous for her fiery temper and has been in trouble with the law before.
She spent five days mopping floors and cleaning toilets as part of a community service sentence in New York last year after throwing a mobile phone at her housekeeper during an argument over a pair of jeans. She was also ordered to attend anger management classes.
In a previous incident with a telephone in 1998, Campbell assaulted an assistant, Georgina Galanis.
The model agreed in 2000 to plead guilty to the assault in exchange for expressing remorse, paying Galanis an undisclosed amount of money and also attending anger management classes.
DeGeneres' 4th Daytime Emmy not necessarily last
DeGeneres' 4th Daytime Emmy not necessarily last
LOS ANGELES - Ellen Degeneres has no plans to stop with her fourth consecutive Daytime Emmy for talk show hostDeGeneres picked up the honor Friday night during the 35th annual Daytime Emmy ceremony at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre. Rookie "Rachael Ray" cooked up a surprising win in the talk show category, beating veteran talk show winners "The View" and "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
Would DeGeneres consider pulling an Oprah Winfrey and refrain from submitting herself for future honors?
"I'm not going to take my name out," DeGeneres deadpanned backstage. "Oprah has made so many bad choices. Look at her career."
"General Hospital," which celebrated its 45th anniversary this year, was honored with a record-breaking 10th drama Daytime Emmy. Anthony Geary, who plays Luke Spencer on the ABC show, took the lead actor honor, while Jeanne Cooper of CBS' "The Young and the Restless" won lead actress.
As host, DeGeneres again bested Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa from "Live with Regis and Kelly" — as well as Barbara Walters, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd from "The View," the 11th consecutive loss for the "View" ladies as hosts.
Other acting honors went to supporting actress Gina Tognoni of CBS' "Guiding Light"; supporting actor Kristoff St. John of "The Young and the Restless"; younger actor Tom Pelphrey of "Guiding Light"; and younger actress Jennifer Landon of CBS' "As the World Turns."
"I only made up my mind to come on Monday," said Cooper, who's been nominated for a lead actress trophy eight times but never won. "I'm glad I did."
Philbin, who's only won as talk show host once in the 20 years he's hosted "Live," took home one trophy, at least: the Lifetime Achievement Award. Jimmy Kimmel presented the award to the 76-year-old, whose career can be traced back to his days as an NBC page in the 1950s.
Kimmel joked that Philbin had logged 30 billion hours on TV as a host of talk, variety and game shows — and as the host of "Live" with his granddaughter Kelly.
"What a night," Philbin said during his acceptance speech. "Tyra Banks told me to kiss her big beautiful, and I found out that I'm older than the 'Guiding Light.'"
Banks picked up the first ever Daytime Emmy for informative talk show. Banks, "Dr. Phil" and PBS' "A Place of Our Own/Los Ninos en su Casa" — a daily show about child care that has English and Spanish versions — didn't have to spar with DeGeneres, "The View" or Ray for talk show this year thanks to the new category split.
"I want to thank Oprah Winfrey for her inspiration," Banks said. "She is the queen and will always be the queen."
Also new this year was the legal/courtroom program Daytime Emmy, which was awarded to "Cristina's Court." Formerly, "Judge Judy" competed in a special class category against shows like "Trading Spaces" and "A Baby's Story." This year, the veteran TV judge was joined by "Cristina's Court," "Judge Hatchett Show," "The People's Court" and "Judge David Young."
The behind-the-scenes teams of ABC's "One Life to Life" won both directing and writing team awards.
ABC shook up this year's ceremony by adding a new interactive element and a Golden Globes-style seating arrangement at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre. The live broadcast was co-hosted by Sherri Shepherd from "The View" and Cameron Mathison from "All My Children."
Instead of sitting in the Kodak's stuffy theater seats, nominees gathered around their own banquet tables and were allowed to feast on food and sip booze from an open bar. Digital video cameras were placed at the tables, with footage uploaded to SoapNet.com throughout the broadcast.
"There was a few people enjoying the free booze," co-host Mathison said in the press room.
After plummeting to an all-time low of 6.1 million viewers in 2006, last year's Daytime Emmy Awards were watched by 8.3 million people, the ceremony's best ratings since 2004, according to Nielsen Media Research. That scaled-down, two-hour Daytime Emmys aired on CBS after a rebroadcast of Bob Barker's final "Price Is Right" episode and featured the game show host receiving his 19th Daytime Emmy.

Madonna’s Michigan Meander
There's nothing quite like having your own massive private gym to make a girl feel special. And Madonna was spotted visiting her multi-million-dollar workout facility earlier today.
On the way in, Madge was surrounded by paparazzi, but like a pro she waded through the shutterbugs and headed inside to break a sweat, sporting a white t-shirt underneath a black vest with black shorts and black sneakers.
And on the way out, the photogs were still there, grabbing a few shots of her in post-workout attire including a black tank top and black shorts with black thermals underneath.
According to reports, the "Like a Virgin" songstress will be paying a visit to her home state of Michigan as part of the Traverse City Film Festival.
Founded by filmmaker/documentarian Michael Moore, this year's TCFF will feature Madonna's new film "I Am Because We Are," (which she will personally introduce) scheduled to play August 2nd at the State Theatre. Tickets for the 540-seat gig are $25 each, and are only being sold at the theatre's box office.
Enjoy the pictures of Madonna at her personal gym (June 5).

Just before her sister Ashlee's wedding, rumors started up that Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo were on the outs. But a recent trip to Dallas proved otherwise.
The Blonde Ambition actress and her Cowboy quarterback boyfriend were spotted strolling arm-in-arm following a lunch outing at Dallas Primo restaurant.
Later that day, after a bit of canoodling, Jess packed her bags and headed off to the airport with her assistant and pup Daisy by her side.
Since that time, the 28-year-old singer-actress made her way to Nashville - surprising fans with "an unannounced autograph session at the Block Party kicking off the annual CMA Music Festival."
A People magazine report goes on to tell: "Although she did not perform, her music played – specifically, her new song "Come on Over," the leadoff single from her as-yet-untitled first country album, due in the fall."
Unfortunately, Tony couldn't make the trip to Nashville - as he has football obligations back home in Dallas.
Enjoy the pictures of Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo during their recent trip to Dallas (May 26).
