Moon Mullins — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 12:36:30 +0000

Carrie Underwood and husband Mike Fisher are selling their Canadian mansion for 2.2 million Canadian dollars (2.1 US!). They wed in July, 2010 and this house -- at 1135 Spruce Ridge Drive.-- was built that same year. So, they haven't spent a lot of time in it. It's just come on the market but the video exterior shots show snow! Is there still snow in Toronto? You ready? Let's take a tour.

Now, we know why Carrie Underwood was mean to Chad when we met her in 2008. We were backstage at the Kenny Chesney show. Carrie was just starting out and meeting radio folks, like us. Well, she seemed really distant, non-responsive and somewhat rude. I am used to treat people treating me like that, but [...]

Faith Hill's Sunday Night Football Successor Named

Jaclyn Graves — Wed, 08 May 2013 21:00:54 +0000

Faith Hill announced last month that her intro duties for Sunday Night Football would be ending after six seasons. As a big football fan, I've grown accustom to watching Faith kick off every Sunday night game. And, to be honest, I sing along with her and get up and dance too! So, for me to think of anyone else but Faith performing "Waiting All Day For Sunday Night', I get a little concerned. But, they've recently announced who her replacement is, have you heard?!? SHE is a fellow country music superstar AND has equally hot legs! Any guesses??

American Idol: Kelly Clarkson vs. Kree Harrison [Video]

Chadwick Benefield — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 12:00:48 +0000

Seven contestants remain on American Idol and odds are looking more and more like this is most definitely a girl's year to win. Of the seven contestants remaining, five of them are female and just two are male. And, let's be honest, Idol has had far more success with its female winners than it has its male champs anyway. Is any Idol out there putting up the sales numbers and topping the charts like Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson. The answer is a resounding, "No!" And, last Wednesday, during Motown Week, I was reminded of just how different Idol is these days. It seems the true standouts, the true phenoms, have already been on the show and won it. And it was never more apparent than when Kree Harrison, one of this year's frontrunners, took on Aretha Franklin's "Don't Play That Song." It was the same song Kelly Clarkson sang in the same theme week way back in Season One. And, if you ask me, there is just no comparison. WATCH!

Amy Sciarretto — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 22:57:50 +0000

Carrie Underwood's mega successful career is obviously a byproduct of winning Season 4 of 'American Idol.' While the 'Two Black Cadillacs' singer could have a fleet of private jets at her disposal at this point in her career, such was not the case when she first won the show. She was offered access to a private jet -for free!- but she nixed it for practical reasons.

Strange Super Bowl National Anthems [Video]

Chadwick Benefield — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 20:08:00 +0000

Today, the performance of the National Anthem at the Super Bowl is just as big a media spectacle as the half-time show and the game itself. Huge stars are asked to deliver rousing renditions of "The Star-Spangled Banner" as the whole world watches to see if they mess up the words, lip-synch or perform live. In the last few years, we have seen amazing renditions by Kelly Clarkson, The Dixie Chicks, Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill and Jennifer Hudson. Way back in 1993, even Garth Brooks stepped up and swung for the fences. But, historically, there have been some STRANGE choices and some really bizarre renditions at The Big Game. WATCH!
