DIXIE CHICKS HAVE FLOWN THE COOP
The Dixie Chicks
are partners in name
only - the multi-platinum-
selling trio is all
but broken up, according to
a source close to the group.
Natalie Maines and sisters
Martie Maguire and
Emily Robison made just
a handful of appearances
together in 2007 - and now
they rarely even talk, the
source reveals.
"The girls have gone their
separate ways," the
source close to the
Texas-raised country
musicians told
The ENQUIRER.
"They were not
getting along when
they toured together
during 2006, but they
managed to stay civil. Now
when they're not forced to
be together, the girls don't
even stay in touch."
In 2007, the trio - who
weathered a tsunami of
criticism after Natalie
bashed President Bush in
2003 over Iraq - appeared
together at the Grammy
Awards in February, taking
home five Grammys.
They also headlined with
the Eagles in Los Angeles
in October.
Natalie, 33, is raising
her two children in Los
Angeles with husband
Adrian Pasdar, star of the
hit NBC series Heroes
- and trying to break into
acting, said the source.
Martie, 38, is pregnant
and planning to move to
France with her husband
Gareth.
"They want to raise their
3-year-old twins and new
baby in Europe, closer to
Gareth's family in
Ireland," the source
revealed. "They
want to settle
down where
they can totally
disconnect from
the music scene."
Meanwhile, 35-year-old
Emily has split from
her husband, guitarist
Charlie Robison. She'll
stay in Texas and raise her
kids as a single mother,
according to the source.
"It's a strange time for
the girls to walk away
from such a solid career,
but they're on completely
different tracks these days,"
said the source.
"They'll probably only
get back together if they
run out of money."
