Lady Antebellum Feels the Perez Hilton Love

Lady Antebellum will be all over the place next week as their sophomore album, 'Need You Now' gets ready to drop on Tuesday (Jan. 26). But a particular celebrity-gossip blog that gave the trio a surprise shout-out got the party started a little early for Charles, Hillary and Dave.

PerezHilton.com gave Lady A the coveted "Quote of the Day" honor on Friday (Jan. 22), which is hardly shocking, since the recent soundbite from Charles Kelley actually had more to do with the self-professed "queen of all media" than the group itself!

"I guess people are hoping for big things," Charles said in reference to the anticipation surrounding the new album's release. "We're out here at the shows, and they're connecting, but it's not like we're on Perez Hilton! Until Perez Hilton blogs about you, I guess you're not famous yet!"

The group quickly took to Twitter and included a screencap of their monumental achievement along with a thank-you to the controversial blogger.

Well, you may now consider yourselves famous, guys, but we'd like to add that "we knew you when."
