BRING ON THE GAIN (Items on Jo Dee Messina, Kellie Pickler, Rodney Atkins, Dierks Bentley)

One's on the way for Jo Dee Messina. The singer revealed to the people who seem to be catching all the scoops about country music people (lately) at People that she discovered she was in the family way when a weight loss regimen was not dropping the poundage she'd expected.
Meanwhile, even though she'll be eight months along on Thanksgiving Day, she'll participate in an eight-mile race and plans to shoot a music video (for the upcoming single, Unmistakable") six weeks after the bundle arrives.
Jo Dee and her hubby just celebrated their first wedding anniversary last week.

Kellie Greens: Add Kellie Pickler and Rodney Atkins to the performers list at the CMA Awards. Reese Witherspoon, will walk the line to the podium to present an award as well.
"The Most Gorgeous Woman in Country Music," meanwhile, continues to grow as an artist. Hopefully, she also grows vegetables, since she dumped meat from her diet several months ago.
You can catch Kellie on "The Bonnie Hunt Show" Thursday.

Lot of Leavin' Left to Do: Dierks Bentley is destroying his website tonight at 9:00 p.m. (Eastern). Then it'll be in purgatory for several months (chronicling the release of his next album with updates each week) before relaunching in early '09.
Meanwhile, the "Modern Day Drifter" used to be a hobo.
