Are Utah and Mormon mommy bloggers creating a false perception of reality? (Brooke White Interviewed) – White still remembers sitting in the audience during rehearsals of “American Idol” and wondering with tears in her eyes why she was there.

And then one day a very clear thought came to her: “Stop competing and comparing and start connecting.” – Read more at Deseret News
Carrie Underwood On How She Stays ~Almost~ Vegan – “It just freaked me out and that was that,” Underwood tells SELF. “I didn’t become vegan right away, but I quit eating beef and didn’t eat a whole lot of other meat,” she explains. She recalls trying to find tofu in her small town so she could experiment with it, but it was in short supply. “And then when I was on American Idol, being in California, there were all these places that had vegan food, and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is easy here!’” By the time she was 22, she had completely cut meat from her diet. – Read more at Self

Andrews excused herself. She was calling with the results of the follow-up tests, which were now conclusive: cervical cancer. Andrews would need surgery, and soon. She missed the Monday and Tuesday tapings of Dancing with the Stars; ABC said she took time off to support boyfriend (now fiancé) Jarret Stoll and his grieving family. (Stoll’s 17-year-old nephew had been killed in a car accident that weekend.) That, in part, was true. But Andrews was mostly dealing with her diagnosis. – Read more at MMQB
