Here’s a celeb blog that has a first look at newly engaged Carrie Underwood’s appearance on Season 5 of CBS’s “How I Met Your Mother!”
Who will be her “Cowboy Casanova” in the episode? Ted? Barney? Barney seems a bit more dangerous for the lovely pharmaceutical rep Tiffany that Carrie plays. Carrie’s episode is set [...]
I was eager to see Carrie frolicking on the beach in the Bahamas in what I’d imagined would be a cute feminine, designer two-piece, something fashion-forward and eye-catching.

Seven years ago when Justin Moore left Poyen, Arkansas for Nashville, he had the hopes and dreams that all aspiring, young artists have. The years of hard work and determination eventually paid off for the 24 year-old when Scott Borchetta signed him to his independent label, Valory Music Group.
With his collection of songs, written during his time in Nashville, Justin headed into the studio, but he was surprised by the amount of work that was still ahead of him.
“I didn’t realize what all went into making an album. I’d done demos in town for years and years, but it’s a process,” he says. “It was really hard to pick songs because they are kind of like your babies…you can’t just pick one or two of them. I was going to the record label going ‘we’ve gotta put this on the record…ok, this is another one we’ve gotta put on the record.’ Finally, Scott goes ‘Justin, we’re not putting a box set out on your first album!’”

Ask any veteran act, and they will tell you that it’s not necessarily the first album in their career that helped them to gain prominence—it’s the follow-up. Albums like Always & Forever, The Woman In Me, and Ropin’ The Wind really seem to illustrate this [...]

Heidi Newfield admits the instructions her manager gave her one evening earlier this year were a little bit strange.
“He had called me and told me to leave my phone on early the next morning, because he knows I’m not a morning person,” she says with a smile. In spite of her aversion [...]

As Rodney Atkins prepared to head back into the studio to begin work on his follow up to IF YOU’RE GOING THROUGH HELL, he felt the pressure of how he would top one of the year’s most talked about albums, an album that spawned four No. 1 singles.
“Starting out, I was like, ‘how [...]

All the pieces seemed to have fallen into place for Keith Burns and Ira Dean when they auditioned Michelle Poe to fill the vacant lead singer position for their band Trick Pony in 2008.
