Billy Bob Thornton Changes His Name

by Robyn Flans

Filed under: Country News

When you're a celebrity, it's hard to be just "one of the guys," but that's all Billy Bob Thornton really wants to be -- a band member, one of The Boxmasters. In fact, in the music world, he's not going by Billy Bob at all. His musical alter ego is W.R. "Bud" Thornton.

"Bud sounded like a good name for a guy who is a Boxmaster," Thornton tells The Boot. "In the beginning, we were going to downplay me a lot. But sometimes they won't let ya," he continues with a laugh. "We made up this whole story, kinda like the Traveling Wilburys who all had different names, but then we thought we don't want it to be like we're trying to trick people. When you look at a record cover and I'm on it, there's no mystery. But I used the name because I simply like being part of a band. I don't like to be the star of something."

Taylor Swift Covers Rolling Stone

by Stephen L. Betts

Filed under: Country News

Taylor Swift talks romance, sex, and the perils of young stardom in the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone magazine.

In a candid cover story hitting newsstands this week, the 19-year-old was questioned on the subject of her virginity but wouldn't discuss specifics, saying instead, "I feel like whatever you say about whether you do or don't, it makes people picture you naked. And as much as possible I'm going to avoid that."

She does, however, confirm that she has never smoked a cigarette or tasted an alcoholic beverage.
