No Sexy Tractors Allowed: Kenny Chesney Doppelgänger Gets Booted from Concert

A man with an uncanny resemblance to country crooner Kenny Chesney has received an apology after getting booted from a recent concert.

Apparently, Chesney's doppelgänger Nate Blankenship thought that he would have a bit of fun before a concert at Nashville's L-P Field, having himself photographed with fans of the singer who couldn't get up close and personal with the real deal.

Security team members approached Blankenship and told him he was "causing confusion" during the concert and proceeded to toss him out of the stadium. Now, Chesney's camp is issuing an apology, stating the star had not been informed of the incident and had nothing to do with his twin being thrown out of the venue.


"Being made aware through the media that fan Nathan Blankenship was removed from the Brothers of the Sun Tour show in Nashville on Saturday night, the promoter of the show is contacting Blankenship to resolve the matter," read a statement from Chesney's record label Sony to E! News. "No one in Chesney's management or promoter camp was aware that this fan had been escorted from the show until after it had been reported by the media."

Renee Zellweger's ex has promised to refund Blankenship his ticket money and will be sending him a gift basket of Sony merchandise as an apology.

Like a Prayer: Israeli Madonna Fans Beg PM "Don't Attack Iran Until After Concert"

"God? Are you there? It's me, Madonna..."

A new Facebook petition has gathered steam in Israel, with Madonna fans begging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to attack a suspected Iranian nuclear facility until after The Queen of Pop's May 29th concert in Tel Aviv!

With tensions continuously escalating between Iran, the United States and Israel, Madonna fans could hardly be blamed for worrying that their pop idol would cancel her planned concert in Israel. Over the years, quite a number of world-famous acts, including The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Depeche Mode and The Pixies, have cancelled concerts in the nation due to conflict, bombings and violence. Madge's hugely successful appearance during last week's Super Bowl broadcast only whetted the appetite of her fans all around the globe to see her in a thrilling live performance, nuclear war be damned!

Israelis feel a special connection to the former Material Girl, who converted to the Jewish-faith based Kabbalah religion from Catholicism in 2000.

Pop superstar George Michael is said to be responding well to treatment for pneumonia at a private clinic in Vienna, Austria.

The 48-year-old former Wham! frontman has cancelled a string of European concert dates of his Symphonica world tour after falling ill, including a concert last night in Strasbourg, France as well as two scheduled dates in Cardiff, Wales.

A public statement from Michael's spokesperson reads, "Singer George Michael has been forced, to postpone the Cardiff dates (26th and Sunday 27th of November) of his Symphonica tour due to illness. [Michael] recently postponed tour dates in Vienna and Strasbourg under doctor’ s orders after being diagnosed with pneumonia and he is currently receiving treatment." The statement goes on to say that the singer plans to reschedule the appearances at a later date.

Friends and aides of the singer have dismissed reports appearing in Austrian media that the star is suffering from a heart condition. The tour has been receiving nearly unanimous critical acclaim, with many critics saying this is perhaps Michael's best concert tour yet.
