Kellie Pickler Is Adorable on The Ellen Degeneres Show

Kellie Pickler is ALWAYS a hoot when she drops by the Ellen Degeneres show, and this latest appearance is no exception. After she chats with Ellen about her upcoming guest appearance on 90210 (Check it out on October 18) and her new(ish) marriage to songwriter, Kyle Jacobs, Ellen “treats” Kellie to a “relaxing” facial and massage. Hilarity most definitely ensues.

Finally, a cleaned-up Kellie takes the stage to perform her new single “Tough”.

Scotty McCreery – Clear As Day – Review Roundup

Scotty McCreery’s album, Clear as Day came out today and the verdict on the Season 10 winner’s debut is mixed. Slapped together in a few short months, post-Idol debuts nearly always contain at least some generic elements. I always give that first effort a pass, It’s tough to pin down an artist’s individuality on such a slap-dash production schedule. So, I’m keeping those thoughts in mind as I read these reviews. The very last item is a video of Scotty describing Clear as Day track by track for Billboard.
