Kellie Pickler was a guest on Ellen yesterday to talk about why she shaved her head and Ellen DeGeneres decided to shave her initials into the newly shorn singer’s head. Well let’s just that Ellen needs to stick to her a day job. And for Kellie it was only a week and half’s worth of growth, so it won’t be as bad to start over again.
I have said this before and I will say it again, I am so proud of Kellie for shaving her head to bring awareness to breast cancer. We forget that women of all ages can get it, so don’t wait until you are 40 to take your first mammogram. That decision can save your life.
Last week Kellie Pickler shaved her head along with her best friend Summer, who started chemo two days afterwards for breast cancer. The former-American Idol contestant shared her story with the world, but she had not done a sit down interview with anyone up until now. Pickler told her story to Ellen DeGeneres and you can hear it all this Monday.
What Kellie did was so beautiful that I cried listening to her tell Ellen what she did and why she did it in this preview clip. I don’t know that many people that would do what she did and I respect the crap out of her for doing it.
I pray that her friend gets through the chemo, cancer-free and with as little side effects as possible.
via GMA Kellie Pickler was portrayed as a dumb blonde on American Idol, but she did something very smart for a friend of hers. Kellie’s best friend Summer Holt Miller was diagnosed with breast cancer in June and she will start chemo tomorrow to beat it. As we all know the chances of someone losing their hair while undergoing the treatment is very likely, so Summer shaved her head yesterday and not wait for the chemo to make her bald. Kellie supported her “sister” by also shaving her head, so that she would not be alone with the bald head. I think the singer looks as beautiful as what she did for her for her friend.
Good for Kellie for being real American Idol and bringing awareness about how detecting breast cancer early can save your life. Like Summer who was diagnosed with it at the age of 36 and she insisted on getting a mammogram even though doctors thought she was too young. If she didn’t know who knows where she would be. So ladies remember check and get those mammograms every year. And let’s all hope and pray that Summer gets through this quickly and cancer free.

This picture of Kellie Pickler dressed as a hot dog (especially with her last names) has Caption Me written all over it, so go ahead and do it.
When I saw the cover art for Kellie Pickler's new CD that is out on September 30th, I though it had caption me written all over it instead of buy me. So go ahead and give her self-titled album a title!
