Carrie Underwood Is a ‘Normal Person With a Really Cool Job’ – WWD: How has your role and the line evolved in two years?
C.U.: When we first started, I was like, “I have never done this before. Am I going to have valid ideas? How is this going to be when I walk in there? Then I realized this is my life. I’m your busy mom/friend/wife tying to run around town and get all my chores done and work out.

With every collection it gets better. – Read more at Women’s Wear Daily

Paying Katy Perry Top Dollar Doesn’t Make Sense for ‘American Idol’ – But the massive payday Perry is getting isn’t necessarily a confidence-builder in ABC’s risky 2018 reboot of Fox’s once indomitable TV franchise. $25 million is the figure being reported, what Variety learned from sources could amount to more than half the budget “Idol” has for talent. That may have become a sticking point in the negotiations to bring back Ryan Seacrest to host the show. He was reportedly made an offer of $10 million.

How NBC’s ‘World of Dance’ Hopes to Shake Up the Dancing Competition Genre – How did Jennifer Lopez and the other executive producers originally pitch the show to you? What about that initial pitch sold you? Derek Hough: You have the Oscars for film, the Grammys for music, and this is that for dance. Obviously it’s a little different, but the stakes are very high and it’s a million-dollar prize. These dancers are the best of the best. Jenna Dewan Tatum: I am working on another dance show, so I know them very well, and when World of Dance came around, what I really liked about it was it’s from dancers for dancers. For me growing up as a dancer and becoming an actress, Jennifer really was this icon in that world to me. And she was very passionate about having me be on the show. When she gets passionate, it’s pretty hard to say no to Jennifer Lopez. (Laughs) – Read more at The Hollywood Reporter
