Crow: Armstrong
always on my mind
Sheryl Crow says it was difficult to be apart from ex-fiance Lance Armstrong after she was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year.
“It was difficult, you know,” Crow said. “I know he wanted to be there.”
Crow and Armstrong announced their breakup in February. The 44-year-old rocker says the split was “devastating” for both of them.
“I do think about Lance every day,” she says.
When Crow learned she had cancer, she contacted the seven-time Tour de France champion, who was on a solo road trip from Lake Tahoe, Calif., to Oregon.
All Hicks really wants to do is ride the bus
Some pop stars want fame and money. “American Idol” winner Taylor Hicks just wants to ride the tour bus.
Hicks gets to do just that on a cross-country tour that kicked off Wednesday in Manchester, N.H. The tour, which reunites Hicks with castmates from the fifth edition of the hit Fox show, ends Sept. 24 in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
“I've always wanted to be on a bus. ... My home has been on the road since even before ‘American Idol,”' the 29-year-old Alabama native said.
As a struggling musician en route to his next gig, Hicks had hoped to travel on his own tour bus one day.
“You would see buses on the road in Alabama going to their next destination, and I would always dream about being on one and now I have the opportunity,” he said.

Valentino knighted for fashion sense
Valentino, known for his red-carpet-ready gowns, has received a French Legion of Honor medal.
Elizabeth Hurley and Anna Wintour, editor of American Vogue magazine, were among those who packed the gilded hall Thursday where Culture Minister Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres presented the Italian designer with the medal, conferring on him the honorary title of “knight” in the elite society.
He commended Valentino for having seduced “the most promising stars of French cinema, including Brigitte Bardot,” with his dramatic gowns.
Valentino, 73, expressed his “immense joy” at receiving the award. “I love this country like my own,” said the designer, who was born in Rome.
