Congrats Trace!!!!!
Trace Adkins is the newest Celebrity Apprentice. In the final competition he beat out Penn Jillette to win $250,000 for his charity, The American Red Cross. And what a GREAT cause it is!!!!
Trace knew it would be tough. "From day one, I looked at that cast and thought I know Penn. I've been around him, I've been to his show, been backstage, hung out with him, I've been to his show. I've been familiar with him over the years. And from day one I figured that if I was going to win this thing, I'd have to go through him."
Way to go Trace!!!! And The American Red Cross!!!
Carrie Punks!!!!
Looks like Carrie Underwood is taking her cue from Brad Paisley when it comes to punking her opening act. Check out the goat stunt during Hunter Hayes' final performance on her Blown Away tour. I don't know about Hunter, but it would be kinda difficult to punk Carrie back!!!!!

Amazing Tim Story
Tim McGraw came to the rescue of a woman who collapsed during his show in Atlanta last weekend.
The woman, who's been identified only as Paula, says that when she came to, Tim was in front of her with a glass of water (and when she saw him, she passed out again....ok I made that part up). He even kissed her forehead. Paula says she passed out because of the heat generated by the close quarters in the pit in front of the stage.

Kinda Sad About "The Office"
The series finale aired last night. NBC has released a video of the stars of the show talking about what it meant to them. There are some tears and some laughs but it's great for any "Office" fan to enjoy right here.
Miranda Baby News!
You've been hearing those stubborn rumours that Miranda is pregnant. Well, she is not according to her mother Beverly. She tells Radar Online, “They are totally not expecting! And I’m fairly certain that I would be the first person to know.”
And if you need further proof, Miranda denied the rumors Monday night on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno.
Carrie Always Knew She'd Be A Star
Carrie Underwood appears on the cover of the latest issue of Marie Claire.
Carrie says she doesn't come from a family of huggers. And her two sisters are much older than she is -- which she believes helped create her independent spirit. She says, "I'm a little more selfish...a little closed. I do wish I were softer. I wish I were able to form relationships better. But hey, I mean, I'm not a sociopath."
She also tells the magazine that she always knew she'd be a star -- at least going by what she wrote for her high school yearbook. "You were supposed to say what you would be doing in 10 years, and I said, 'I will be rich, famous and married to a hot guy.' I guess I should have added a few more things." Yeah, she's a liiiiiittle over achieved I think.
Here's the cover photo if you don't have the magazine.
KEITH URBAN: Staying On Idol!!!!!
Did NOT see this coming! However, I'm really happy for Keith. He'll be taking Randy Jackson's chair next season. Keith made the announcement yesterday on Ellen DeGeneres. Here's the clip if you missed it.
