Kellie Pickler Golfs for a Good Cause
Originally posted 06/17/2008 02:15PM
Kellie Pickler's gone green – at Nashville's 21st Annual Music Row Ladies Golf Tournament & Tupperware Party.
Taking time from recording her second album, the former Idol star, 21, went "clubbing" at Monday's outdoor fund-raiser on behalf of United Cerebral Palsy of Middle Tennessee.
"I am the queen of putt-putt," said Pickler, who quickly got into the swing of things – and proved herself no novice with a golf club and dimpled ball.

Kellie Pickler is teaming up with fellow country star Taylor Swift for a new song on the former Idol's upcoming album.
On the track, the singers mine some ex-boyfriend territory for a get-back tune called "Best Days of Your Life." Although Pickler is mum about exactly which ex the song refers to, she tells PEOPLE, "You have to be careful when you date a songwriter. We always get the last word!"
Swift will join her in the studio to record harmonies on the song.

Kellie Pickler will sing on Capitol Hill Wednesday afternoon to help honor grandparents who raise their grandchildren.
It's a deeply personal issue to Pickler, who was raised by her grandparents in North Carolina after her parents separated and her mother left when the country star was only 2-years-old.
The Idol alum will perform her song "My Angel," written for her grandparents, Faye and Clyde Pickler, at the AARP's third National GrandRally. The event hopes to raise awareness of and support for "grandfamilies" like the Picklers.
"I know the struggles they face," said the singer, who has donated nearly $50,000 to the AARP's Grandparent Foundation.

It was a match made in American Idol heaven, but it seems that Constantine Maroulis and Kellie Pickler are an item no more. "We were hanging out and talking all the time and I haven't spoken to her in a while, so I'm not really sure what that's all about," Maroulis tells us. "I don't know if it's her being too busy or thinking that she's a big star now or something. I'm not really sure what the whole situation is."
