Jewel to co-host "Nashville Star"

Jewel’s intuition has landed her the part of co-host for the fifth season of the USA show "Nashville Star." The program attempts to find fresh talent in the country music industry and will begin airing live from the BellSouth Acuff Theatre in Nashville, Tennessee on January 11. Jewel will share hosting duties with Cowboy Troy.

Jewel announced her new job in a statement released to the press in which she said, "I grew up on a ranch in Alaska, and my favorite memories are of sitting around a campfire with my father and listening to the songs he wrote and sang. It was pure country music, and it has made me a sincere fan of country music ever since."
