When it comes to supporting the troops or standing up for what you believe in, Toby Keith stands out among celebrities. He is currently on his eighth USO tour in Afghanistan, where he will perform 17 shows in 11 days.
But the 47-year-old singer/actor understands some things aren't worth fussing over. Keith said "...if you're gonna tell a lie about me, and then back it up like it's the truth to try to make your star brighter ... yeah, I've got a problem with that."
Having been in several public feuds, the most notable with Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines and actor Ethan Hawke, Keith is aware that he is the type that holds a grudge.  
Despite his occasional hot temper, Keith is among the top earners on Forbes magazine's top Country money makers at No. 3. He is also the owner of a new clothing line, a movie star, restaurant owner and successful musician, bringing in over $52 million last year.  
"If you can't do as well as I'm doing, then the only thing you can do is take shots at me, but that's expected," he says.
