Kellie Pickler Honeymooned in Iraq: Most Unique Celebrity Honeymoon?

When you think of a romantic celebrity honeymoon, the last place you think of is ... Iraq. But that's exactly where "American Idol" finalist Kellie Pickler went with her husband, Kyle Jacobs.

"We eloped on New Year's Day of last year and we got to spend a couple nights in the Caribbean and then we hopped on a plane to Iraq," the USO entertainer tells Parade. "That was part of our honeymoon. It was so romantic! No, it was just that I had already committed to going over there and I wasn't going to cancel because that wouldn't have been right. But Kyle loved it," she says.

Pickler, who came in sixth place on "American Idol" in 2006, just released her new album "100 Proof." But working with USO ranks as one of the country singer's biggest accomplishments.

"Out of everything that I've ever been able to be a part of, the USO is the one that I'm most proud of and honored to be able to work with. What they're doing for our military is so great. I've loved taking a little piece of home to our troops in Iraq or Afghanistan," she tells Parade.

    I just voted for this cos that what majority voted for, but I mean whats so AMAZING about honeymooning in Iraq, SHE'S A TROOP! I mean its a country, the war in Iraq is America's fault and if she is a troop in the military, well use your common sense... troop... military...
    training... skills... DUH! Couldnt they just organise a place to honeymoon there? Theres not war in every single centimetre of Iraq now is there?

    She did what a true American should do, like Bob Hope's USO tours, she had a prior commitment to entertaining our troops in Iraq and she kept her word. Give her a big BZ

    With a honeymoon in Iraq, how did Kyle know if the explosion was a grenade outside his window, or Kellie having an orgasm? LOL !

    Kellie, thank you for being there for our troops! You are wonderful!

    She must have loved him very much to want to go there with him, his mission must have been very important to not go somewhere else
