ATLANTA — After 50 years in the music business, Kenny Rogers is thinking about hanging up his microphone for good.

Rogers said that his next album may be his last. The 70-year-old country music legend cited family obligations, specifically his identical 4-year-old twin boys.

“They say having kids at my age either makes you or breaks you and I’m leaning heavily toward break right now,” Rogers said.

Rogers came out with a career retrospective CD this week called, “Kenny Rogers: 50 Years.”

The release is being sold exclusively through Cracker Barrel restaurants. The 12-track CD includes hits such as “Lucille” and “The Gambler,” and features three new songs. (Read the full post about ‘Kenny Rogers Ready To Quit Music Business?’…)

‘Disaster Movie’ (PG-13)

“Disaster Movie” is aptly named. The movie is a disaster. It’s a mish-mash of pratfalls, gross-outs, little people, glam models, bad costumes and lame jokes.

The production had a lot of promise. Promoted as a movie made by the filmmaking team behind the hits “Date Movie” and “Epic Movie,” the spoof was supposed to poke holes and fun at the disaster movie genre.

The trailer for the film also showed that it would spoof some of the most recent movies playing at the Cineplex, including “Sex and the City,” “Wanted,” “High School Musical” and the multitude of action movies with superheroes, “Hancock,” “Hellboy,” “Incredible Hulk” and “The Dark Knight.”

“Disaster Movie” tries to have some semblance of a plot. (Read the full post about ‘Review: ‘Disaster Movie’ Disastrous’…)

‘Traitor’ (PG-13)(out of four)

Samir is a practicing Muslim, and he is intimately involved in the ongoing war on terrorism. But while he’s certainly standing in the middle of it all, we can’t exactly tell what side he’s fighting for.

Is Samir a bomb designer, aiding Islamist extremists in devising an attack on America — a bone-chilling scheme in which 50 bombs will be detonated simultaneously across the country? Or is he a double-agent: an American hero who has infiltrated the enemy ranks and has ascended the chain of command in hopes of keeping us safe?

Samir’s motives are a point of debate, but his religion is not. (Read the full post about ‘Review: ‘Traitor’ Provocative Thriller’…)

Country music legend Dolly Parton is alive and well — and joking about the recent rumors of her death by congestive heart failure.

“I did about have a heart attack when I found out I was dead,” Parton joked with a Nashville television. “But I am feeling better than ever.”

Parton’s “death” was a hot search on Google last week after her purported death was reportedly announced over loudspeakers at a high school football game. The rumor of her death, supposedly at a Tennessee hospital, was eventually reported on by Fox News. (Read the full post about ‘Dolly Parton Laughs Off Death Rumors’…)

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Metro Police are searching for suspects in a homicide investigation spanning three different scenes.

Police said it all started when 20-year-old Jodel Cousins was shot on Canopy Court.

From there, investigators think he ran to the corner of 36th and Hale, then somehow ended up in the middle of the street at 34th and Garland.

The coroner said Cousins lived in Jeffersonville, Ind.

If you have any information about the shooting, you’re asked to call the anonymous police tip line 574-LMPD.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A new plan to fund Louisville’s downtown arena will be presented next week.

On Wednesday, Arena Authority Chairman Jim Host said he will announce at Thursday’s regular meeting that a special meeting will be held next Wednesday to go over the plan.

The first attempt to get financing for the arena fell through just days before the authority was expected to collect a check for nearly $360 million.

Since then, the authority’s executive committee has been working to come up with a new deal.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — What happens when you mix the gridiron and the Ironman?

Watch The Story

You could get gridlock.

This weekend, Louisville will host two major sporting events on the same day and at the same time.

The last leg of the Ironman Triathlon takes runners down Third and Fourth streets, mere feet from Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium, which is where the annual Governor’s Cup game between the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky will be played.

“I didn’t know about the Ironman,” said Amie Anderson.

Traffic around Cardinal Stadium can be a nightmare, but add in a rival team and a major event, and confusion and frustration could rule the road — even if Metro Police don’t believe that will be the case.

“The UK/U of L game is not going to be impacted as much as you might think,” said Lt. (Read the full post about ‘Ironman May Snarl Football Traffic’…)

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A man police said caused a meth lab explosion and fire in Sonora earlier this month died.

William Rucker was severely burned in an explosion and subsequent fire at an apartment complex where he’d been renting an apartment.

Kentucky State Police said no charges would be sought against Rucker, since only scattered and partial evidence relating to a meth lab could be recovered.

RICHMOND, Ky. — A college student who says she was kicked out of a central Kentucky mall for wearing a short dress has filed suit over comments posted about her on a newspaper’s Web site.

Kymberly Clem claimed she was escorted by security from the Richmond Mall on Aug. 9 over a dispute about a dress she was wearing.

Clem’s attorney said an anonymous posting later alleged that Clem had exposed herself to a woman and two children. The comment was posted on a forum on the Richmond Register newspaper’s Web site.

Attorney Wesley Browne said the comment was false and malicious. The newspaper erased the comment and the poster, known as ‘12bme,’ was banned. (Read the full post about ‘Woman Whose Dress Caused Flap Sues Over Web Posting’…)
