Country cutie Taylor Swift has just announced that she is set to embark on her first-ever solo headlining tour of the U.S. and Canada this year.

The ambitious Fearless trek will see Taylor hit 54 cities and - smartly - ticket prices start at a very affordable $20.

Swift promises big production and spectacle.

Her friend, Kellie Pickler, will open for her on all shows.

Carrie Underwood is a vegetarian and she is not keen on revealing that information.

"I'm a vegetarian and there are some parts of the United States where you do not announce that to the audience. And while the crowd might be kind of playing with me, sometimes if I do let that slip, I do get booed. So it's something I'm working on-keeping me vegetarianism to myself."

Who cares if they boo you? You should be proud of our choices and stand by them!

Jennifer Aniston was reportedly offered a record-breaking $4 million from Playboy to recreate her very popular nude January 2009 GQ cover photo. Playboy reportedly approached Jen after her GQ Cover came out. The National Enquirer reports that:

"Although very pleased that her nearly 40-year-old frame can still turn heads, Jennifer politely declined Playboy's offer, reportedly telling magazine boss Hugh Hefner that GQ was art, but Playboy is SEX."

This photo is from her latest GQ covershoot.

Dr. Phil has seen the worst ratings drop of any major syndicated talk show, down 27% from last season. Not only that, but the show has lost a third of its core demographic - women 18-49.

Conversely, Ellen DeGeneres' notably chipper show is up 11%.

Images of Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush have been reduced to the size of a thumbnail in a range of new stamps.

The quartet - famous for show stopping silver screen performances in films such as Gladiator, Moulin Rouge and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - have been honoured in a new stamp collection in their native Australia.

    So Rascal Flatts has already won best group video of the year at the CMT Music Awards. And since they are by far my favorite group I think that is pretty exciting news.

    A past American Idol contestant, Kellie Pickler, has won Breakthrough Video of the Year which she contributes to having been on American Idol.

    LeAnn Rimes and Bon Jovi have won for Collaborative Video of the Year. Go them! But what the heck was she wearing?

    I'll update this post as I learn more. =o)

    How can Faith Hill still look gorgeous pregnant? =o) She does, she's beaming, she's funny, she's just perfect!

    Taylor Swift just won best female video for "Our Song!"

    Billy Ray just had the crowd all pumped up with a standing ovation in support of our troops and now Brad Paisely is performing. *sigh*

    Faith Hill and Tim McGraw announced the best "Wide Open Country Video" and even though I'm not sure what that means I can tell you Alison Krauss and Robert Plant won.

    Reba McEntire announced the hotness of the male video of the year nominees Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisely, Trace Adkins and Toby Keith. The winner being Trace Adkins with his song "I Got My Game On." (Side note: speaking of Keith Urban, his wife Nicole Kidman was there of course, looking stunning in red but still not showing much of a baby bump.)

    Taylor Swift is performing now. She's also gorgeous. Maybe it's a country thang. =o)

    Toby Keith is on stage now performing his smashing hit "She's a hottie." I actually have no idea what the song is called but those words are in it.

    Duo Video of the Year nominees were Big & Rich, Brooks & Dunn, Sugarland and Montgomery Gentry. I'm partial to Big & Rich because it was Brian and mine's wedding song, but Sugarland won with their song "Stay."

    Kenny Chesney on stage now. Every time I see him he looks thinner. Does he eat? Does he work out? Either way he's still sounds awesome.

    And now for the BIG award, Country Music Video of the Year OVERALL...goes to....
    TAYLOR SWIFT WITH "OUR SONG!"

    And in her excitement she thanks MySpace. lol. But $5,000 is going to St. Jude's Hospital for Children because that is who she chose. CMT is giving over $80,000 tonight to charities all chosen by the artists. That rocks!!!

    Carrie Underwood had the final performance and I have to say along with sounding fantastic, she looked so cute in that dress! And the purple glitter mic is wicked awesome! P.S. I want that dress!

    Jennifer Lopez wants Tom Cruise to be her twins' godfather and convinced her husband Marc Anthony to go along with the plan. Perfect. Also, the kids' christening outfits cost $200,000.

    Breaking up via text message?

    Country crooner Carrie Underwood told Extra that she's 'fine' after breaking up with Gossip Girl stud Chase Crawford via text message.

    *~*~*~*~*

    Prince Harry and his lovely lady, Chelsy Davy are engaged, according to new reports.

    He supposedly popped the question recently while on a safari vacation in Botswana how romantic, I hope they got their picture taken with some zebras.

    *!*!*!*!*

    And you know how everyone is always talking about celebrity sex tapes? Well now the rumor is of a sex tape starring Shakira...and it happens to be a threesome!? Of course that is all speculative. =o)
