Kenny Chesney received the go-ahead Monday to continue his Poets & Pirates tour after injuring his foot during a concert in Columbia, S.C. Saturday night.
Chesney was checked out by a sports medicine/orthopedic doctor from the Tennessee Titan's football team in Nashville, who said the singer could perform but needs to take it easy, according to his rep.
Chesney, who also underwent a series of tests with his own orthopedist in Nashville, said he was determined to continue with the tour if possible.

Ewan McGregor had a brush with skin cancer but says he is "fine" now.
The Scottish actor, 37, was promoting his latest film, the sex thriller Deception, when he revealed on the BBC that he was forced to have a suspicious-looking facial mole – one of several – removed from just below his right eye.
"You have to be careful if you're pale-skinned and spend any time in the sun," McGregor said. "I went to see a specialist who thought they were better to be removed, and indeed he was correct."

In a video clip that appears on the cancer advocacy group's Web site, Nixon, 42, said she became an ambassador not only because she is a survivor, but because she is the daughter of a survivor.

Even celebs worry about their children's safety in a toxic world. Kate Hudson, Keri Russell, Tobey Maguire and Gwyneth Paltrow are among the celebs sharing eco-friendly advice in both a new book, Healthy Child Healthy World, and a nonprofit Web site, healthychild.org. Among the book's offerings: Paltrow offers her recipe for Moses's "Brown Rice Baby Food"; Holly Robinson Peete gets her kids to help with the household chores – but makes sure they use "green" products; and Kate Hudson has developed her own line of natural hair products and is adept at "hiding" vegetables in Ryder's food. "Everything is accessible, reasonable and doable," says Christopher Gavigan, whose wife is actress Jessica Capshaw. "The book is about small changes. It's for everyone."
