Meanwhile, for the curious, here's how Kellie's gold award (which, I'll reiterate, is much closer to reality than Taylor's platinum award) was spun. (It's also just kind of interesting to peek behind the curtain and see how industry news is disseminated):
"Kellie Pickler Goes Gold on The View!
Country’s Best-Selling, New, Solo Artist of ’06 Gets a Guest Co-Host Surprise with a Gold Album Presentation for Her Debut, Small Town Girl
NASHVILLE, TN – She was the best-selling, new, solo country artist of 2006, and now BNA Records charmer Kellie Pickler jumps feet first with her “Red High Heels” into 2007 with the RIAA Gold certification of her debut album, Small Town Girl.
It was a moment of sheer elation on live television, as the ever-engaging Pickler, guest co-hosting this morning’s edition of ABC’s The View, was surprised with a gold album plaque in honor of the occasion.
The View’s Rosie O’Donnell, who made the presentation to Kellie, admitted they tried, but the timing just didn’t work for Pickler hero Dolly Parton to present the award, as she enthused, “Nothing would have made me happier than to see Dolly Parton walk through that door and hand it to you.”
Off camera, Kellie twinkled, “This is awesome! It reinforced that my dreams are becoming a reality. It’s almost better than being in a shoe department where everything’s half-off!”
In addition to her two-day, co-hosting stint (filling in for Barbara Walters), Kellie will also be a featured performer on Friday’s edition, where she’ll sing “I Wonder,” from her newly-Gold debut album.
Just released on Halloween 2006, Small Town Girl has already launched the first single and country airplay smash, “Red High Heels,” climbing this week to #16 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart and #13 on the Country Aircheck chart. "
End quote, end of release. How exactly does one "twinkle," anyway?
