MACK ATTACK: Country singer Jessica Mack's dreams have taken her from Little Rock to Music City in more ways than one.
The Nashville transplant will star in the new CMT "docu-series" called Music City that debuts at 9 p.m. Thursday -- the day before her new album, One Love, will be released. Here's how show press materials describe the Joe T. Robinson High School alum: "Better known to her friends as JMack, Jessica is a 30-year-old all-American Southern belle."
About the show, from the producer of reality series like The Hills, JMack says: "Music City is about a group of friends that live in Nashville and we're all pursuing our individual dreams. ... We're supporting each other, going to one another's shows and writing music together, but you're also getting to see the relationship side of our lives."
Ooh, so there will be fights?
"It wouldn't be much of a show if you didn't get the drama in there," JMack says.
Sounds like the makings of a country song.
HEARTS APART: Speaking of country music, let's talk a little "D-I-V-O-R-C-E."
The law firm of Wilson & Haubert, PLLC, with offices in North Little Rock, Cabot and Clarksville, offered a less-than-lovey promotion this Valentine's Day: Win a free uncontested divorce. The Facebook post said, "The value of this prize? Over $985.00! Or also known as 'priceless' if you need a divorce."
The post, shared nearly 300 times, drew some comical comments ("My question is can you enter more than once?" and "Where were y'all in 2013 when I needed this?") and a few cranky ones ("Divorce is not a funny joke").
It also resulted in nearly 1,000 entries, according to attorney Brandon Haubert, who says "I was amazed by the number" of participants for the contest that likely will become annual.
As for the response, Haubert says, "I would say 98 percent positive; there were negative comments. ... You can't satisfy everyone in the world."
But they did satisfy one winner who wishes to remain anonymous. And like it said in the contest's fine print: "If our client agrees, we will let you know who it was. If our client doesn't agree, you will never know who it was.
"We believe in confidentiality here at Wilson & Haubert, PLLC."
SEE YA, TIA: And speaking of breakups, Tia Booth of Weiner was not the "Weiner" of Arie's heart on The Bachelor. He sent the physical therapist packing after last Monday's hometown date to meet her family that involved -- what else? -- cocktail wieners.
TheHollywoodReporter.com has quoted Tia as saying, "I would definitely consider coming back to be Bachelorette."
Meanwhile, she'll get to audition, er, address her feelings, on today's The Bachelor: The Women Tell All reunion special (7 p.m., ABC).
To this we say, "Hot dog!"
