Kellie Pickler Returns With ‘The Woman I Am’ – Kellie Pickler gets personal on her new album, “The Woman I Am,” out Nov. 11. If you need proof of this, take one listen to “Selma Drye,” a song about a person that Pickler knew very well — her great grandmother. The singer wrote the song with Billy Montana and Phillip Lammonds, and she tells Billboard that she feels she captured the essence of who she was. “I was just describing her,” she said. “She lived in front of us, and she was a pistol – your stereotypical hillbilly granny. I was so intrigued by her. She had a pistol and an apron, and kept a can of snuff in her apron. She never had a drivers license or had a car – it was the devil. She never put her money in the bank – it was the devil. She was very old fashioned and stuck in her ways. In some ways, it was beautiful. She never conformed to the ways of the world. She kept all of her money in canning jars, washed her clothes in the sink and hung them up on the line. She was very much old school, and I think that song represents the women of her generation.” – Read more at Billboard.com

We’re happy with it being just us right now. I don’t see why everybody’s in a rush. – Read more at Parade

Dancing’s Derek Hough: We’re a Little Behind – Amber and I were so pumped to get immunity, especially since we were both nearly crippled last week! It was also good to get immunity not just for immunity sake, but because we got to rest Amber’s knee. We practiced for all three dance-offs, so to not have to do one was good. I thought Cher was great. It was so wild to see Cher up there. We’ve had a lot of really fantastic, talented stars come through, but what she has accomplished throughout her career is unfathomable. You can talk about and think about it, but it’s still crazy to be looking right at her. My favorite moment was when she held up her paddle and was like, “Cher!” She should’ve done that for everyone! – Read more at TV Guide
