CHASE RICE hasn’t said much about dating KRISTIN CAVALLARI. And probably never will. “I don’t know why people care about what I do with my life. The only thing that I like being in a headline for . . . is when people talk about music. My personal life needs to be my personal life, because that’s the part of my life that’s sane. That’s the part of my life that’s safe and normal. And if you lose that, I don’t know what would happen to me, but I wouldn’t like it.”

In an interview yesterday on “Today”, ALAN JACKSON said he has a neurological disease known, as “CMT.” It affects the nerves and muscles, and gets worse over time. He said, “I’ve been reluctant to talk about it, but it’s been awhile and it’s starting to affect my performance on stage, and I want [everyone] to know. I don’t want people thinking I’m drunk on stage because I’m having problems with mobility and balance.” It’s a disease that runs in the family. “My daddy had it and [my] grandmother had it, and my sister who’s ten years older than me has it, and she doesn’t get around too good now. It’s been affecting me for years, and it’s getting more and more obvious. I know I’m stumbling around onstage, and I’m having trouble balancing even in front of a microphone. I just want people to know that’s why I look like I do if they’re wondering. I don’t want to appear like some whiny celebrity.” It’s not fatal but it will eventually disable him. “I don’t want people to be sad for me at all . . . it’s just part of life. I’ve had a wonderful, beautiful life. I’ve been so blessed. It’s just good to put it out there in the open.”
