NEW DAD BENTLEY STAGES CHARITY RIDE FOR KIDS' HOSPITAL

Country star DIERKS BENTLEY hit the road for a charity motorbike ride in Nashville, Tennessee on Sunday (05Oct08) just hours after he became a first-time father.
Bentley and his wife Cassidy welcomed baby daughter Evalyn Day at the city's Vanderbilt Children's Hospital late on Saturday night (04Oct08).
And the singer was busy raising money for the clinic the very next day.
The ride revved up at the hospital and ended in downtown Nashville, where Bentley staged a gig for 5,000 fans, with country stars including Tim MCGraw and John Rich on hand to perform.
During the event, which raised more than $300,000 (GBP162,000) for the hospital, Bentley took the opportunity to boast about fatherhood, telling fans, "I've got a natural high going. I've done a lot of crazy stuff in my life, but this is the wildest thing.
"It seems like I've opened the door to a whole 'nother universe. It's like there's another dimension I never knew existed!"
