After listening to this interview with the actress turned singer, I'm pretty confident there was very little acting involved in her role as Blair in Gossip Girl.
Speaking of GG, wait until you hear her lengthy answer to the question about a possible reunion.
Oh, and Tim McGraw EARNED his island, bitch.
Here's her current single
Despite Taylor flat out saying yo guys this is a POP album, it looks like some country stations are just shaking it off. I'm sure it's just done as a way to show their continued to support for the "girl from nashville that sings and the world listens" and I happen to think that's pretty cool, but what do YOU think?!
Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath called my show to talk about costarring in Sharknado 2. Of course we took this opportunity to ask if his musical future would include a country album. After all, who isn't crossing over nowadays?
His response?
"It seems that's where all pop stars go to die!"
True. With the exception of Darius Rucker, who else has successfully crossed over? He went on to agree with most critics about the current state of the format - it's not really country anymore.
Skip to 2:51 mark (or here if that doesn't work)
Much like Eric Church, Rick Springfield doesn't think reality singing shows do the music biz much justice. He also penned a few songs with Jay DeMarcus, and hopes to get to Nashville soon to do some more writing. Can you say Jessie's Girl, sitting on a tailgate, in the moonlight, drinking beer?! YES! Hear the entire convo below.
Billy Gilman was somewhat of a country music child prodigy with pretty much all his success hitting before puberty.
Well like all things tend to do, Billy Gilman grew up. Turns out some people aren't happy about that, some people like mom, author, and ex Jersey Shore star Snooki.
Broadway interviewed Snooki a while back and she revealed that not only was she a country music fan as a kid, but she also had a thing for Billy way back in the day. Well she did until his voiced changed anyway.
Take a listen to her interview below. Her Billy comments begin at about the 3:27 mark.
Well Billy apparently got wind of what she said, because he tweeted this...
So Nicole aka @snooki is saying how was her fave but my voice changed and I can't sing. Alright BG army let her know the voice never went!:)

He sent out several more tweets and then she replied!
LOL yes!! This is amazing, I can't wait BG 👍👍👍👍 @bg524

No word on whether Snooki ever got the proof that Billy could still sing, but Here's a snippet of Billy's forthcoming release titled "Forever" so you can see for yourself that the pipes do in fact still work.
Snooki called my show to plug her new book, "Baby Bumps," and during the conversation we asked if she likes country. Her answer took us by surprise, and took us back!
Skip ahead to the 3:27 mark to hear her answer.
I have to say I'm loving Demi Lovato right now. She's the former Disney princess who starred in Camp Rock and Sonny With a Chance, ended up going out on tour (because pretty much all Disney princesses and princes at some point end up going out on tour), got into a well publicized scuffle with one of her dancers on the tour who she ended up punching, and then was shipped off to a hospital to deal with her issues, the least of which were anorexia and bulimia.
I figured that was the end of Little Miss Demi Lovato, but surprisingly she's come back from the brink better than ever and seemingly much more wise. She has a new album out that has one of my favorite songs of the moment on it, Skyscraper, and she's making the media rounds actually owning up to the issues she's had in the past and trying to share the lessons to maybe help other kids who are facing some of the same problems.
Hopefully it's not all just an act.
Well in her excitement for being alive, Demi is weighing her options for the future and one of those options may just be to record a country album.
I like to experiment with my music. Someday, I joke around, but I’m actually pretty serious about coming out with a country album. I want to do everything. I love music & I love all types of music, and I love where this album went.
I would ho and hum about the news like I normally do, but I actually think Demi should give it a whirl. Experiment, have fun, and all that jazz. I'm sure she'd record the sort of album country purists would hate with a passion, but you know, bah humbug.
Kristin Chenoweth is well known for her stage, television, and movie roles (Glee, Four Christmases, The West Wing), but she's also got a recording contract with Sony Masterworks and a new CD coming. Only problem was, she was afraid her dream of recording a country album wouldn't come true and so she had it written into her contract that she'd get the chance to fulfill her dream.
Kristin's debut country album Some Lessons Learned is due out September 13 and she tells Playbill.com that the country-pop CD, "was actually an idea I had many years ago when I signed with my record label. I had it in my contract that we would do one. It's an idea that I had when I was growing up — I just always wanted to do it, so I'm glad I finally got the opportunity. It's more how I sang growing up ... [and] I'm really excited by it."
The CD will contain one cover, but the rest of the songs are original tunes written by Kristin, including one that she wrote about Dolly Parton called What Would Dolly Do? (or WW Double D).
Kristin's first single will debut June 6th and will include a video that will be shown on CMT. Let's just say that if the first single named Bitch About is any indication, this may be one fun CD.
Here's Kristin when she joined Christina Applegate and Carrie Underwood for Carrie's all star special back in 2009.

So have you read that Staind's main man, Aaron Lewis, is gonna try his musical hand at country music?
When I first read about this new development I just rolled my eyes. I mean seriously, it gets tiring trying to keep track of who's coming and who's going. One thing I was sure of, though, I wasn't going to like him or his darndit music.
Yeah, it sucks huge because yesterday he released a video for his new song Country Boy and as much as it pains me to say, I love, love, love this song.
George Jones and Charlie Daniels put in appearances to add a little country cred.
I guess I'll just save my country snootiness for the next crossover act.
Here's the video description from YouTube: Aaron Lewis' first single "Country Boy" off his new country-tinged solo EP entitled "Town Line." The album is slated to be released February 2011 and will feature 5 tracks including the first single "Country Boy" featuring George Jones, Charlie Daniels, and Chris Young, as well as "Massachusetts", "Vicious Circles", and a re-recording of "Tangled up in You" originally from The Illusion of Progress.
