At one point, Chesney was being driven home by his pal Bruce Springstein while on a tour stop in — of course — New Jersey, according to People.

“He could see that I was pretty tired,” says Chesney.

Springstein said, “What you have out here is wonderful.”

But he told Chesney that it took him until he was 41 to realize that it was an illusion. He said, “You can start a song today, and 10 years from now you can go back to that song and it will still be there. But your life isn’t like that.”

“It was like God talking to me,” says Chesney.

Pasetsky’s Cover Critique

Very good timing for First!

The mag decides to use Jen Aniston on the cover as she’s finally gaining heat in the media. Jen’s relationship with John Mayer has everybody buzzing.

What they won’t be buzzing about is this cover that is a DESIGN DISASTER.

It’s about Jen’s secret fat-buster. And what do we see?

Jen’s head!

Why don’t we see a full body shot? Or why don’t we see one of the hundreds of new photos of Jen in a bikini inset on the cover.

Instead there’s an inset of Mariah Carey - so strange.

Bottom Line: Strong sales because First is a good magazine despite its weak cover design.

“Oh God, don’t ask me that,” he squirms in his seat during his interview with Fantastic Man.

“I made a lot of money and have everything I ever wanted.

So I have, I don’t know, fifteen WARHOLS - and they’re okay ones too.”

She’s in a fish bowl!

Poor thing! 

She even had a run-in with a paparazzi while doing a shoot for Teen Vogue, according to the mag.

“Nothing is private,” she says.

Sarah Jessica Parker says in the 5,000th issue dedicated to the Sex and the City Movie,

“We all thought, ‘Can we still run down the street in heels?’ SJP asks in Page Six Magazine.  “At some point in the film, each of us has on a pair of reading glasses.  That’s what happens…we’re older.”
