M… is for the way you… look at me…

Carrie Underwood stopped by Ellen to promote her new album Cry Pretty (which will probably debut at #1 on the Billboard charts), and when asked about the accident that left her with more than 40 stitches last year, provided what might be the most candid and detailed description of what happened.

Love it: Mariah Carey “GTFO” (video) - Mariah’s long proven to be the best at delicate cut-downs decked in 10-cent words (here: “You left me lost and disenchanted”; “My prince was so unjustly handsome”). This, which comes with a softly filtered video of Mariah dawdling about the house in lingerie, is one of those…

Carrie Underwood dropped the video for her single “Cry Pretty” on Sunday evening—in the midst of American Idol, no less—which you can watch above. As someone who discovered on a recent trip to Nashville that she reluctantly loves pop-country, I am still in the “tolerating” stage with this track. But more importantly,…

Not only did country superstar Carrie Underwood perform live at Sunday night’s ACM Awards, she shared a photo of her face for the first time since November!

This morning the tabloids were obsessed with one single mystery: Why are Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck still wearing their wedding rings? A great mystery indeed and, undoubtedly, one that deserves some serious attention. Garner was seen wearing her ring during a coffee run yesterday in Atlanta. Meanwhile in…

Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again” is catchy as hell and that knowledge isn’t lost on Carrie Underwood, who gave the song a Nashville twist in at the Big Barrel Country Music Festival on Sunday. Cue the twangy guitars!

Is there a planet in retrograde? Something is surely amiss because suddenly the Kardashian family is concerned about little Kylie Jenner. A source told People that while Kylie’s family doesn’t think she’s getting out of control, they’ve become concerned about the influence of her 25-year-old boyfriend Tyga. The source…

There was another country music award show Monday night. This one was called the American Country Countdown Awards, and the fashion was–dare I say–tamer than what we have come to expect from these events.

Carrie Underwood has responded to the harsh public reaction to her less-than-impressive performance in the deeply unimpressive Sound of Music, Live!: "Plain and simple: Mean people need Jesus," she Tweeted. "They will be in my prayers tonight... 1 Peter 2:1-25."

Last night, the 47th annual Country Music Association Awards were held in Nashville's Bridgestone arena to honor all the very talented humans in country music. From my understanding of the night, the two main themes were "Taylor Swift" and "not Miley Cyrus." As usual, the red carpet was swarmed with sparkles, ruffles…
