It looks like maybe Blake Shelton and Keith Urban have started a trend. Shelton became the first major country star to appear on a mainstream reality TV singing competition when he signed on as a coach for 'The Voice,' while Urban is appearing as a judge on the upcoming season of 'American Idol.' Now, according to reports, Simon Cowell is trying to woo country superstar Shania Twain for 'X Factor.'
Apparently the folks over at Zillow.com must love country music -- and dogs. Reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Blake Shelton and his wife, fellow country superstar Miranda Lambert, came in at No. 1 on Zillow's list of the most desirable celebrity neighbors, topping such stars as Reese Witherspoon and Taylor Swift.
Just in time for Christmas, Blake Shelton released the biblically-themed music video for 'New Kid In Town,' a track from his holiday album, 'Cheers, It's Christmas.'
Christmas is something Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton look forward to -- and not just because everyone and their mother happily anticipates the holidays in light of cookies and eggnog, or that you get to tear open expertly wrapped gifts. The couple is so busy with their respective burgeoning careers that they view the holiday season as time to slow down and reconnect with one another. As it turns out, Shelton is also a big decorator. Who knew?
Blake Shelton isn't the kind of guy who goes to the mall to buy his wife a few sweaters for Christmas. Instead, the popular country crooner tuned in to his creative energies to design a piece of jewelry that will appeal to Miranda Lambert's animal-loving side.
Congrats to future country superstar Tate Stevens. He was announced as the winner of Season 2 of 'X Factor' during Thursday's (Dec. 20) season finale, capping off a week of reality singing competition shows that were dominated by country wins. Remember, Blake Shelton and his pop-country protege Cassadee Pope notched the Season 3 win on 'The Voice.'
Now that Cassadee Pope has been crowned the winner of Season 3 of 'The Voice,' it's time for her to turn her attention toward recording an album. The newly-minted star says her sound will lean toward pop and rock, but will also feature some country elements.
Those celeb hounds at TMZ managed to catch sudden celebrity Blake Shelton while the country superstar was leaving the Hollywood hotspot Pink Taco recently. If there is one thing we know about Shelton, it's that he is always good for a quip, and TMZ got several of 'em on tape.
The 2012 World Music Award nominations are in, and once again Jason Aldean, Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift top the list of country stars up for awards.
Kudos to 'The Voice,' for opening the first night (Dec. 17) of the two-part Season 3 finale with all of the coaches and contestants singing 'Hallelujah' while holding up cards with the name and ages of the innocents who were shot in last week's Connecticut school shooting. It was a beautiful and touching moment. Turns out, the performances on the episode followed suit.
While details about Friday morning's school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut are still trickling in, it's clear that innocent lives were taken when a gunman stormed Sandy Hook Elementary School and began firing. The small town in the state's southwest corner will be in the hearts of every American this weekend, including country music's biggest stars.
On tonight's (Dec. 11) elimination episode of 'The Voice,' Blake Shelton's team, featuring Cassadee Pope and Terry McDermott, remained in tact. Both Pope and McDermott are moving on to next week's finals, doubling the country star's chances of being the show's winning coach for a second season in a row. Shelton could make 'The Voice' history and he's gunning for it.
