Kellie Pickler goes gold Gold on The View

It was a moment of sheer elation on live television, as the ever-engaging new country music superstar Kellie Pickler, who was handling guest co-hosting duties on ABC’s The View, was surprised with a gold album plaque in honor of the RIAA Gold certification of her debut album ‘Small Town Girl.’

The View’s Rosie O’Donnell, who made the presentation to Kellie, admitted they tried, but the timing just didn’t work for Pickler hero Dolly Parton to present the award, as she enthused, “Nothing would have made me happier than to see Dolly Parton walk through that door and hand it to you.” Off camera, Kellie twinkled, “This is awesome! It reinforced that my dreams are becoming a reality. It’s almost better than being in a shoe department where everything’s half-off!”In addition to her two-day, co-hosting stint (filling in for Barbara Walters), Kellie will also be a featured performer singing “I Wonder,” from her newly-Gold debut album.Just released on Halloween 2006, Small Town Girl has already launched the first single and country airplay smash, “Red High Heels,” climbing this week to #16 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart and #13 on the Country Aircheck chart.‘Small Town Girl’ is now available at Amazon.

Kellie singing I Wonder on the View today (Jan. 19th) was absolute perfection. I'm sure there wasn't a dry eye in the house. So beautiful and heartfelt.
