Video Premiere: Carrie Underwood "Two Black Cadillacs"
Last night, Carrie Underwood debuted her dark new video for the track “Two Black Cadillacs.” The single -the third from the singer’s Blown Away album- recalls the result of two scorned women seeking revenge against a cheating lover. In the clip, Underwood is… ready for this?… the OTHER woman! That’s right, little miss goody-two-shoes took on the more controversial role, while strutting around fashionable as ever. Does this women ever look bad?? Watch the premiere of “Two Black Cadillacs” now and by the way, if you can explain the bizarre ending, please comment below and explain it to me. I’m confused. Did Jesus, in fact, take the wheel? Google Plus: +Carrie Underwood

Britney Spears Quits The X Factor
When Simon Cowell announced that Britney Spears was joining the judges panel on The X Factor‘s 2nd Season, it was viewed as a brilliant move by the entertainment mogul. Spears, being one of the most famous women on the planet, came with a large fan base of loyal followers which the show’s producers banked would translate to viewers when the show premiered last Fall. Unfortunately the ratings -and her highly criticized lack luster performance on the show- didn’t match her hefty salary, so when the season ended it was immediately assumed that she’d likely not be asked back. Thursday, reports began surfacing that the “Femme Fatale” had bowed out and…

Justin Timberlake "Ready" for New Music in 2013
Justin Timberlake is one of the music industries biggest players, but as a solo artist he’s only released two records in the last decade – an unusual trend in the typically-turn and burn industry. Aside from a few collaborations and comedy tracks with The Lonely Island, the singer has strayed from music while he focused on a film career. The world has speculated for months – years even – as to when the “Sexy Back” singer would return to his roots, but Timberlake showed no signs of making a return. Until now. “I think I’M READY,” Timberlake Tweeted before posting a link to the video below, which shows him walking…

The Next Day will arrive in March, but the singer debuted the album’s first single “Where Are We Now?” yesterday on his birthday. In the record’s official announcement, Bowie says: In recent years radio silence has been broken only by endless speculation, rumor and wishful thinking ….a new record…who would have ever thought it, who’d have ever dreamed it!

Over the past couple of months, I’ve hinted at some big things coming to Tragic Kingdom in 2013. One new improvement is the addition of the live acoustic series from my favorite new artists.

Consider this my way of saying Merry Christmas to all my readers – You guys have made 2012 my biggest year yet! I’ll have more from Nashville based crooner Andy Davis in January, but here’s what you need to know right now: he’s super talented, he’s cool (and wears equally…

The X Factor: Season 2 Finale
The final three remaining teams took The X Factor stage last night to compete for America’s vote and become the second winner of the series. While America’s first winner, Melanie Amaro, has failed to impact with her first single, the UK version has delivered international success with acts including Leona Lewis, Cher Lloyd and One Direction. Tate Stevens, the country crooner from Team L.A. Reid, has consistently topped the leaderboard this season. No surprise considering the devotion of a country audience and Stevens’ loyal family-man quality. His performances last night were mediocre at best and his pairing with Little Big Town on “Pontoon” was awkward, but I won’t be surprised if…
