Who knew Gweneth Paltrow would be taking up my slack?

Wow. Talk about an unlikely source! Gweneth Paltrow is blogging about some of Nashville's finest destinations. And she seems to have gotten most of it shockingly right! She even pulled some places that I don't frequent (either too new, too hip, or too coffee-centric...I'm not a coffee drinker).

I mean, come on...it is not unusual to see stars roaming around town. And with some kind of movie in the works I have been hearing about Gweneth sitings for several months. Of course, as a native Nashvillian I have been duly unimpressed by such news. Whatever, right?

But here we have an impressive diary of some of Nashville's gems. This week's installment of her blog GOOP covers Nashville music and food. It doesn't have all of the local insights, so you may find me blogging on some of these same places over time (when I get back into having a life, that is. Not quite there yet.) But I am quite impressed that she picked up on The Time Jumpers at Station Inn, Midnight Jamboree at Ernest Tubb Record Shop, most of the good Ryman info, and the secret of weeknights at Robert's Western World. There is a shocking lack of songwriter venues but I guess even Gweneth can't be perfect.

Part 2 next week is supposed to focus on "the rest." Who knows? Maybe she'll continue to hit some of the highlights that I like. Check it out!
