The countdown is on until America’s sweetheart, Carrie Underwood, releases her third LP, Play On. To kick off the release, the country cutie has teamed with iTunes to release a new track from the album each week until its November 3rd release. This week, iTunes released the touching track dedicated to her mother, appropriately titled “Mama’s Song”. On October 20th, the single “Temporary Home” will hit the digital download store, followed by “Undo It” on the 27th of the same month, which will bring us a week out to the release of Play On. Don’t forget to pick up the latest single from Carrie, “Cowboy Casanova”, as well as the…

Dear Rachel Zoe: I am not a stylist, nor do I classify myself a Fashionista, but something has recently come to my attention that must be addressed. One of the most brilliant vocalists of our time, in my opinion, has been stepping out in some hideous attire. Kelly Clarkson, who is very open about her struggle with weight, has been seen in some unflattering, and completely hideous, outfit choices as of late. I applaud Kelly for not conforming to what Hollywood paints as a stick thin character, but could she make some flattering outfit choices to better hide her hefty weight gain? Unfortunately Kelly has made some huge fashion mistakes…

Katharine McPhee’s video for her new single, “I Had It All”, hit the net last night. Unfortunately for Kat, the video is missing any storyline and just features a bunch of beauty shots of the past Idol contestant. A fan of the long haired brunette, it took me a while to get used to the blonde bob, but this doesn’t help her cause. I am down with the shots of her in the desert, but the slicked back look has to go! It’s not hot and it ruins the video for us, but the song is still great, so take a look and judge for yourself. Enjoy!

So, Miley Cyrus, deleted her Twitter account and the gossip sites were all a buzz. Stories broke that Miley was dating a new guy that didn’t like her obsession with the social networking site, while some sites even reported that an “enraged” Billy Ray, Miley’s dad, was pleading for her to come back to the site. Looks like Miley is getting closer and closer to that inevitable breakdown, similar to the one Britney suffered over the past few years. Check out this video/rap that Miley lip-sychs her way thru to explain to fans why she left her tweeting days behind. It’s so ridiculous, I couldn’t resist sharing it with y’all.

Her album is still a few months away, but I can’t help it…I’ve got McPhee-ver..again! She recently performed at Music Across America concert in California and luckily I can check out some of the new songs via her performances, and now, thanks to me, you can too! Check ’em out, she’s rockin’ her new sound! “Brand New Key” “Terrified” (With Jason Reeves) “Had It All” “Lifetime” “Over It” “Say Goodbye” “It’s Not Right” & “How”

Check out this behind the scenes clip of Carrie Underwood on the set of her new smokin’ video for “Cowboy Casanova”. Could she be any more gorgeous?

Lady GaGa was the musical guest on last night’s Saturday Night Live, hosted by Ryan Reynolds. The Ga performed a hot new rendition of her current single, “Paparazzi”, as well as a medley of her hits including, “Love Game”, a New York inspired version of “Poker Face”, and her new single, “Bad Romance”. Unfortunately the medley performance featured an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction, but we expect that from GaGa. But it was the surprise cameo by Madonna that made the episode so classic. We love to see the two battle it out somewhere other than the charts. Check out Lady GaGa on SNL:

Carrie Underwood will release her new album, Play On, on November 3rd and it will feature 13 brand new tracks from the country diva. The album is expected to be her most versatile to date, with collaborations including Max Martin, Kara DioGuardi, NeYo and many more rock, pop, and r&b writers than are typically found on a country disc. The 13-track set will also feature a song with the winners of the reality show The Next Great American Band, Sons of Sylvia. I guess the reality star winners have to stick together and help each other out. If you just can’t wait until November for more Carrie, you can check…

First up, plagiarizer? It seems Underwood’s new single, “Cowboy Casanova“, is being accused of sounding awfully familiar to a song by an unknown country lady, Brittany McDonald. Apparently “Casanova”‘s co-writer, Brett James, met with McDonald and heard her song, “Bang!”, and loved it. Months later the Carrie single hit the airwaves. I admit that they have similar takes on the upbeat country song, but it is certainly not like Carrie pulled a Beyonce on Kelly Clarkson’s “Already Gone”. Take a listen to “Bang!” and weigh in. It’s unfortunate that they sound similar, but the controversy hasn’t stopped her fans. “Cowboy Casanova” is already the fastest selling single of Carrie’s career,…
