Kenny Chesney: Picking Up The Pieces?

Kenny Chesney: Picking Up The Pieces?Hey–we’re not the only ones questioning whether country star and from-the-neck-down hottie Kenny Chesney is one of Mary’s girlfriends. They said it, they said it, and well, now even People Magazine is belatedly asking, just a couple of months after Chesney’s very public, upcoming annulment from Renee Zellweger surfaced.

So, does People magazine have any real first-hand scoop on the kind of pieces Kenny normally likes to pick up? It’s barely but definitely acknowledged in a big interview this week with Chesney, totally coincidentally timed with launch of his new album.

With the press pouncing on the use of the word “fraud,” a legal term, as the grounds for the annulment, “they’ve done nothing short of calling me gay and her a whore. None of those things are true. I’m pretty firm in my sexuality and my love for women.”

Closet case closed? Maybe not. Chesney’s sign-off to the interview? “My mom told me that she loves me no matter what, and she just wants me to be okay,” he says.

Sounds like a coming-out party to us! You can read the full story if you’re a People or an AOL subscriber—or if you have 15 items or more in the checkout lane.
