Where’s My Teeth? Will Sara Evans Turn into a Soap Opera Again?
June 17, 2009 – They say “Like attracts like.” Remember when Sara Evans was on Dancing with the Stars a few seasons ago and she was stung by the Jerry Springer-deep-vacuous-hole-of-emotional-need-flu? Was it a coincidence that Springer was also competing that season? It was crazy-town Kodak stuff. Sara’s then husband, Craig Schelske, was accused of being a sexaholic, two-timing rat-bastard and poor Sara told the gory tale to anyone who would listen.

Maybe blabbing all over town even helped her career, maybe she thought of that long before I did. Maybe she didn’t come out of that looking as bad as her crazy-buns ex but something about her opportunistic behaviour made me suspicious of her Martha-everybody persona. For a person who was claiming to be protecting her kids through this tsunami divorce she sure was making sure they’d hear every juicy morsel from her either first or second hand. I always say you can tell a lot about a person by how they break up.
 
Evans is now married to former University of Alabama quarterback Jay Barker and her soap opera past may be a distant memory. In fact, the Country singer has just signed a four-book deal with Thomas Nelson Publishing company. Yes, Sara has switched channels from Maury Povich to Oprah Winfrey.

Evans plans of releasing her first inspiration novel later this year. She says it’s an "emotional, southern-flavored, multi-generational tale, featuring a compelling love story." The singer adds, "I believe there is power in great stories, this is the kind of book I love to read and share." I wonder if it will include an evil twin, hiding a secret past, ready to suck the very life out of you.

Is it just me or is Sara Evans not on the “A” list for motivational speakers. Sure, what she lived through was tough but she also handled the mess like a crocodile in a chicken coop. Who knows maybe Sara has learnt that two wrongs don’t make a right and maybe drama is not her muse anymore.

Evans’ new album, produced by Nathan Chapman, will also be released later this year unless she gets amnesia of course or finds out her current husband is really her half brother who she traded away for a pony but not before he brainwashed her into thinking her inside voice should be served hotter than two rats humpin' in a wool sock. – by John Beaudin
