Keith accuser got paid for story
This may come as no surprise, but sources tell News 2 Amanda Wyatt got paid a substantial amount for her story of having an ongoing affair with Keith Urban.
Those same sources confirm that Amanda, 23, did have a sexual relationship with Keith that lasted past the point of when Keith started dating Nicole Kidman, whom he married earlier this year.
That story broke — complete with quotes from Amanda — on Sunday in British tabloid The Daily Mail.
But parts of Amanda’s background have some wondering about her credibility.
Wyatt, served several months in jail last year on charges of aggravated assault, and she faces those same charges again next month.
Police reports show Amanda got in a bar fight on Demonbreun Street in the Gravity/On the Rocks area with another girl.
A witness said it was a nasty ordeal, with Amanda kicking the other girl repeatedly while she was down. A police report says Amanda and the other girl both appeared drunk.
And there were several stories saying Keith and Amanda either hung out or met at the Loser’s bar near Music Row, but the club owner said they were never at his club together.
I’ve been in contact with Amanda via cell phone text messages for a few days, and she says she can’t talk because she’s “under contract,” though she gave no details about what kind of contract that might be.
Keith’s publicist said tonight he has no further comment on Amanda or the story.
But he in the past has called the Daily Mail story “ficticious.”
Wheeee! We’ve got a winner!

OOPS…WOB
This has not been Britney Spears’ year! From her divorce and late night adventures to criticism of the pop star’s parenting skills, now WORLDOFBRITNEY.COM is closing.
The man who ran the site, Ruben Grey, had this to say:
As Britney keeps losing her identity and credibility within fans and industry people, so is WoB. We’re moving on to greater, bigger things.
I think that WoB has had its run…….its feet are not holding firm anymore, not because of my ability to run it, but because I believe Britney is unfortunately done (for me at least). No matter what anyone thinks or how they may disagree, it’s very hard to maintain the respect needed to keep things going, so in turn, I’m trying to be a step ahead of it, and yes, for those of you laughing and remembering what happened in March of 2002, this time, it will be for good 
WoB will continue to provide its daily updates to fans up until it’s time to say goodbye. We look forward to continuing to report news on Britney, it just won’t be exclusive about her anymore. Thanks for your attention and a BIG THANK YOU to all of you who have been visiting the site since the beginning and supported WoB through it all ! It’s been a total blast.
Dishing the Dirt!
When local girl Amanda Wyatt alleged she had an affair with Keith Urban (supposedly during Urban’s engagement to Nicole Kidman) people began dishing her dirt.
First Wyatt’s underwear photo-shoot surfaced and now she is facing criminal charges.
Amanda Wyatt is scheduled to appear in Davidson County Criminal Court to face an aggravated assault charge stemming from a bar fight at On The Rocks. The local party girl was also arrested and charged with aggravated assault in 2003 from a fight at Bar Nashville.

Keith is back down under.. for now
Amid infidelity allegations, Keith Urban has gone back to Australia.
But that doesn’t mean he’s done with rehab. It just means he’s home for the holidays, his publicist says.
“Keith is on a leave in Australia to be with his family during the holidays,” publicist Keith Freundlich said in a statement.
“This is a natural occurrence at this point in his treatment. He will continue with his rehab upon his return.”
Apparently Keith was spotted Down Under with is his wife, Nicole Kidman, holding hands, and that launched some speculation that he was done with rehab. (One picture included here is from People magazine.)
That’s what prompted today’s statement.

Keith and Nicole Reunite!
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman have reunited, just days after a local women claimed she’d had a long-running affair with the country music star. According to the AP, Urban completed treatment for alcohol abuse and the two are in Kidman’s hometown of Sydney.
UPDATE: “Keith is on a leave in Australia to be with his family during the holidays,” publicist Keith Freundlich said in a statement. “This is a natural occurrence at this point in his treatment. He will continue with his rehab upon his return.”
The Australian country singer checked himself into a rehabilitation treatment center in October, with Kidman by his side.
There are reports that Urban flew into Sydney on Tuesday and cameras caught the couple holding hands as they left the United International Pictures office Wednesday. The couple said nothing to the media as they walked to the car. Now we wait on Australia’s most famous couple’s return to music city!
UPDATE: More info on local girl, Amanda Wyatt is surfacing. Wyatt is the 23 year old who released descriptive details about Keith Urban cheating on Nicole to a UK Newspaper earlier this week. You can check out her underwear photoshoot here http://splashnewsonline.blogspot.com/.

Kid Rock Spends Christmas With the Troops!
Kid Rock is once again visiting U.S. military personnel stationed in the Middle East. His itinerary had him spending Christmas alongside troops currently serving in both Kuwait and Iraq.
“This year for Christmas I wanted to make sure somebody was thanking our troops for their service, no matter what our views are on the current situation in Iraq. I could be spending Christmas with my family, but in my heart I know this is the right thing to do - not only for our men and women in service, but also to set an unselfish example for my son and send a strong message to the world to be thankful and think of others at Christmas time,” said Kid Rock.
