Jason Aldean looks to have gotten up close and personal with a woman at a bar in California.  Here’s the problem – the woman…isn’t his wife Jessica.  TMZ obtained photos of Jason with former American Idol contestant, Brittany Kerr, hugging, touching and at one point, it appears, Jason goes in for a kiss.  The only positive in the story is – Jason left the bar without Brittany. 

Here's a little reminder of what Brittany looked like when she auditioned on American Idol...

Just before 8 PM last night...Jason posted this statement on his Facebook Page...

Hey Guys – I wanted to talk to you directly, so you were hearing the truth from me and not just reading allegations made about my personal life on gossip web sites.  The truth is that I screwed up. I had too much to drink, let the party get out of hand and acted inappropriately at a bar. I left alone, caught the bus to our next show and that's the end of the story. I ultimately ended up embarrassing my family and myself. I'm not perfect, and I'm sorry for disappointing you guys. I really appreciate being able to work through this privately with my family and for all your continued support.

Taylor Swift will be among the stars featured on the iHeartRadio Music Festival TV special tonight on The CW. The show, which also includes performances by Jason Aldean, Brad Paisley, Miranda Lambert and more, airs at 7 p.m.
