MCENTIRE + CLARKSON TEAM UP FOR WINTER TOUR

New pals REBA MCENTIRE and KELLY CLARKSON are hitting the road together for a winter tour early next year (08). The flame-haired country queen and the first American Idol winner became friends when MCEntire recorded Clarkson's Because Of You hit with the pop star for her recent Reba Duets album. Clarkson has since signed MCEntire's husband, Narvel Blackstock, as her manager and the pair teamed up to record a Crossroads TV concert special for U.S. cable music channel CMT. The odd couple have now lined up 15 dates for their 2 Worlds 2 Voices tour, which will begin in Ohio on 17 January (08). The tour will include a St. Valentine's Day date (14Feb08) in Tupelo, Mississippi.
