While Kellie Pickler and Carrie Underwood may have shot to fame on “American Idol,” where they formed a fast and firm friendship, the two country queens are scary-busy these days, touring the country and singing up a storm, but Pickler recently told OK! magazine that the two are still very much friends and get together when their gruelling schedules allow them a little break:  

“When we’re both in Nashville, we hang out.  But it’s hard when we’re on tour.”

Kellie also dished on her friendship with Taylor Swift and says the songbirds are the ”Three Musketeers of Country Music”: 

“They’re like my sisters in country music. Taylor and I toured together all year last year… I guess you can call Taylor and Carrie and me the Three Musketeers. Us blondes, we’ve gotta stick together.  Boom!”

Carrie Underwood Gets Her Revenge

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

carrie_underwood300.jpg

Country songbird Carrie Underwood has finally revealed the name of the ex-boyfriend who was once too embarrassed to be seen with her after a softball accident gave her two black eyes and a broken nose during a softball game. 

Said Carrie: 

“I went on a date to the movies that night, and the guy wouldn’t even take me out to eat after. The next day he told everyone he was embarrassed to be seen with me.”

But Carrie managed to get her revenge twice over - snubbing the guy after she won “American Idol” and now naming him in an Instyle interview:

“After Idol I went back home and signed autographs, and his younger siblings were there. They said, ‘Do you remember Justin? He wanted us to give you his number.’ Guess what? I did not call him.”

Carrie Underwood To Be Inducted Into The Grand Ol’ Opry

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

15656109451press58200810131pm.jpg

This was probaby a dream come true for Carrie - I can imagine she was both shocked and surprised when, after singing “I Told You So,” originally by Randy Travis, the man himself joined her onstage where he invited her to join the Grand Ole Opry.

Said Travis:

“To end your birthday week, I was asked by the management here at the Grand Ole Opry to ask you if you would like to be their next member.”

Pete Fisher, the Opry’s vice president and general manager, said he and his staff had been working on the surprise for two months:

“We are just happy we succeeding in keeping this one under wraps as long as we have. When we seek out candidates for Opry membership, we are not only looking for artists who achieve extraordinary things with their career as Carrie has done, but for artists who really show a sincere connection to the Opry and all that it stands for. Just days after she won American Idol, Carrie made it a priority to debut on the Grand Ole Opry stage. And throughout what has really been quite a fast pace for her, she has made the Opry a priority.”

Carrie’s two albums have sold 9 million copies and she’s won three Grammys and four CMA Awards - including two awards for Female Vocalist.

She will be inducted this Saturday, May 10 at 8 p.m. ET during a live broadcast on the Great American Country network.

    More photos of her surprise invitation:
