    Only A Matter Of Time

    September 3, 2009 /

    So, it’s here! I got a first listen to Carrie Underwood’s new single, “Cowboy Casanova”, which I absolutely loved!! The song, an uptempo-foot stomper, will sure to be the hottest song of the fall. On Underwood’s previous two albums, she has released ballads as her lead singles, while this time she definitely shows off her inner Shania and pulls out a showstopper. Carrie, the current ACM Entertainer Of The Year, is gunning for that top stop again and she may just have it on lock with this new album. It is definitely shaping up to be one of excellence. And considering she is releasing it a day after my birthday…

    Get Ready to "Play On"

    August 31, 2009 /

    Carrie Underwood unveiled the cover and title to her 3rd album, due out November 3rd – a week before she co-hosts the Country Music Awards with Brad Paisley. The album, titled Play On, is going to be produced by Mark Bright, who produced her previous efforts Carnival Ride and her debut, Some Hearts, which has been certified 7x platinum and is the best selling debut album from a female country singer in history. Underwood has been working with some great writers for this new album and it should be interesting to see how it all comes together. It seems the album may take a stab at more crossover hits, with…

    She’s Back

    August 26, 2009 /

    It looks like Britney will be back at The VMA’s this year – no word whether she’s performing or presenting, but it’s very exciting that the Pop Goddess will return. And last year she made a hilarious promo spot with Russell Brand indicating the “elephant in the room” and she’s done it again. First Letterman, now this…seems like Brit-Brit is back!

    President Spears

    August 19, 2009 /

    Britney Spears stopped by The Late Show with David Letterman tonight to do the famous Top Ten list. The theme for tonight’s show was “The Top 10 ways the country would be different if Britney Spears was President”. It was hilarious and I am glad to see Britney looking more and more like the girl we once we knew. Check it out, but beware it may cause extreme laughter. Three words: Vice President Diddy!

    You might remember my post a couple months ago to a good friend, Ben James, regarding his bachelor party in Vegas. And now, cut to August in a blink of an eye, it’s time…the two crazy kids have decided to get married. Megan McCormick, my long time friend and business partner, and Ben will be wed this Saturday in Breckenridge, Colorado. I’ll be there to see the whole thing go down. As Ben and Meg make each other sob over their delicately written vows, Katers dances the night away to her favorite party jam, and Forsyth shovels cupcakes into his mouth as if no one is watching, I will be…

We love, love, love it, but hope the DVD shows less up close and more full production because otherwise fans won’t get to see the masterful show that is The Circus Starring Britney Spears Tour!

    Friday, American Idol took over Good Morning America as David Cook, Kris Allen, and Adam Lambert took the stage for various performances. To cap off the Idol-filled show, the trio sang the Fleetwood Mac classic “Little Lies”. It’s always interesting to see various Idols sing together – you really get a sense of who’s truly the best singers. In this case, David Cook definitely takes the cake. What do you think?
