to numerous sources, including Showbuzz, Kelly's father, Clyde "Bo" Raymond Pickler Jr., 42, was arrested on Feb. 7 in Albemarle, N.C., for allegedly assaulting his new wife with a steak knife. He was subsequently charged with misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon, misdemeanor 
assault on a female and a misdemeanor charge of communicating threats. Pickler's mug shot was taken Wednesday at 4:46 a.m. He is being held on $20,000 bail. A trial date was set for Feb. 28.Kellie Pickler's representative confirms the reports, telling
Us Weekly, "This information is correct and Kellie is aware of the situation. We have no comment." While his daughter was competing on Idol, Clyde Pickler was finishing a three-year sentence in Florida for stabbing his neighbor in 2003. He was released in May 2006.According to The Charlotte Observer, Danielle Pickler, the woman accusing Pickler of attacking her with a steak knife, says the two were childhood friends growing up in Albemarle. She said she got back in touch with Clyde Pickler Jr. when she started writing him while he was serving time in Florida. They married last month, and this week, she says, he came at her with a knife. Danielle Pickler also said this wasn't the first time Clyde Pickler was violent. Arrest warrants show his new wife alleges he held a steak knife to her saying, "You know that guy I stabbed in Florida that didn't die? Well it's gonna be different this time because you are going to die."
Danielle Pickler said her husband was intoxicated early Wednesday morning when he shoved her into their bathroom and wouldn't let her out. She said her 18-year-old daughter finally had to call the police to get help. Danielle Pickler also said she's spoken with her family and if Clyde is willing to go to counseling, she's willing to drop the charges. That, however, would be up to the district attorney.

PR-Inside.com reports that Robyn Troup, the wannabe who
won the chance to perform with Justin Timberlake at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night has been revealed to be an Idol hopeful who it is believed to have made it to the Hollywood rounds. When Troup, 19, who sang "My Love" and "Ain't No Sunshine" with the hunky former *NSYNCer as part of the "My Grammy Moment" talent search, let it slip backstage during a post-show interview that she "tried out" for the current season of Idol, she was quickly silenced by handlers. The pretty Texan then said, "I can't really talk about it," and refused to reveal whether she had made it past the audition (if she hadn't, she could have said so at this point, as they are over). If you missed Robyn's duet debut, you can catch it here on YouTube.com.WINNING GRAMMYS ... AND A HEART
UPI reports that Carrie Underwood and British singer Oliver Trevena are an item. Underwood and Trevena were reportedly seen hugging and kissing last month after driving to the Los Angeles airport, where Underwood caught a flight. Us Weekly was also told by a source that Underwood and Trevena began dating weeks ago.
And E!Online says that Underwood may not have walked the red carpet at the Grammys with her new boyfriend, but
that doesn't mean he wasn't with her. The site reports Underwood and Trevena looking lovey-dovey at the Sony-BMG after-party at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where the American Idol winner and her beau held hands on a couch while chatting with friends and sharing a small plate of assorted sushi. Trevena fetched a couple of drinks from one of the many open bars (he tipped the bartender $5), and then Underwood hand-fed him some of the night's waffle and fruit dessert.And if you missed Underwood's and Rascal Flatts' musical tribute to Texas Playboys founder Bob Wills ("Rose of San Antone") and Eagles founding member Don Henley ("Hotel California," Desperado" and "Life in the Fast Lane") at the awards ceremony, you can view it right here:
