Justin Guarini living in 'Gone Country 3's' Nashville mansion
Curly-haired "American Idol" debut season runner-up Justin Guarini is among the residents of a Nashville mansion as part of the CMT TV show "Gone Country 3," which premiered last Saturday and will air Saturdays at 8 p.m. The show is hosted by country star John Rich; other cast members include funk musician George Clinton and model-actor Richard Greico. The celebrities compete to become the best all-around country performer. The Houston Chronicle got the details from Guarini:
“What was new to me was getting deeper into the catalog of country music, which is about God, country, patriotism. It’s the heartland music.”
The winner will release a single produced by Rich, who has penned big hits for Gretchen Wilson, Faith Hill and his former duo, Big & Rich. Previous "Gone Country" winners Julio Iglesias Jr. and Sebastian Bach failed to make an impression on country audiences.
In addition to planning a summer wedding to fiancee Reina Capodici, Guarini hosts a weekly blogtalkradio show. Tune in Saturday to see his country music efforts.
