Celebrity Tales VS Celebrity Updates

Just an FYI to our frequent visitors …

We’ve separated Celebrity Tales from all of the run-of-the-mill celebrity news and announcements. Now, on the right, there, in the blue box under “Menu”, if you click on the Celebrity Tales link it will take you to only the stories that certain celebrities have shared with Raised Country (interviews, anecdotes, or straight-up story submissions).


If, however, you click on the “Celebrity Category” link on the right in the large mustard-ish colored box below that, you will get all of the postings related to celebrities, including news, press releases, and their personal stories as well.
