Keith Urban Talks about Sunday

I think out of all the celebrity baby names, Sunday Rose, the name chosen by Keith Urban and his wife Nicole Kidman, is one of the most normal. However, there was still personal meaning behind the name as that day of the week happens to hold special sentimental value to Keith. From Celebrity Baby Scoop,

“The country star tells Ellen DeGeneres that his daughter’s name holds a more personal meaning for him as well.

“Particularly when you don’t have someone in your life… in my experience, Sunday was the loneliest day,” he says in an episode set to air tomorrow. “It went from being sort of the most dreaded day of the week for us to being the most joyous day, because we just had a family.”

Keith, 41, and Nicole are both native Australians, though they now make their home in Nashville. He admits the combination may result in Sunday picking up a rather unique accent.

“I think she may say, ‘Good day, ya’ll.’ A nice mix.”

I don’t really get Sunday being the loneliest day when you don’t have anyone in your life but apparently, it’s true enough for him to name his child after that day. Whatever her name is, she sure is one of the cutest little babies being toted around Hollywood (and Nashville, and Australia.) 

Keith Urban was up for two awards last night at the Country Music Awards - Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year - but he lost out to Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley, respectively. Keith however was joined by Nicole, who was with him all evening and whom Keith couldn’t take his eyes off of the entire evening! Aw, what a happy little family!

Hilary Duff Joins the Team

Hockey benches and celebrity rags have been abuzz for the past few months with the news that Carrie Underwood has been dating Ottawa Senators player Mike Fisher. The two are both keeping pretty mum on the subject although Underwood has been spotted cheering her man on at one of his games in her hometown of Nashville. But it seems that Carrie Underwood won’t be the only big name gracing the cheering section for the Senators. She may just find herself sitting next to Hilary Duff, who has recently talked about her relationship with center-man Mike Comrie, who also plays for the Sens. From Gossip Girls,

“Meanwhile, Miss Duff recently chatted about her growing passion for hockey - the sport at which her boyfriend Mike Comrie stars for the New York Islanders.

“I like to sit in the audience, you know I don’t sit up in a box or anything, and people started to know that I’m sitting there, and they’ll be like ‘Mike sucks!’ Or [they] try to rile me up,” Duff told Rachael Ray on an episode airing today. “And I’m like, ‘Hey, watch it! I’ll come up there, you know.’

“The first couple of games I went to, I’m like, ‘These people are nuts,’” Duff tells. “They are, like, so into it. And then, I got really into it once I started learning about the game.”

Comrie actually used to play for the Senators before signing with New York Islanders during his free agency. He was just recently traded back to the Ottawa Senators and if Hilary thought that New Yorkers were crazy about hockey, wait until she sits in some Canadian stands. 

What I don’t understand is why am I just finding out about this hookup when Duff and Comrie have been dating since last June? Perhaps because Ottawa is my very favorite team and it caught my attention that she could soon be seen quite often at my team’s rink. It’ll be good to see. I wonder if she and Carrie Underwood will become fast friends or whether this will start some sort of crazy woman feud, since both are sort of famous for that. Either way, the Senators are certainly becoming more and more fun to watch!

Carrie Supports her Man

Every time I see Carrie Underwood I love her just a little bit more. And, I think that her current boyfriend, Mike Fisher probably does too. These two have been dating for several months now but both have been trying to keep their relationship pretty low-pro. That didn’t stop Carrie from going to see her boy play in Nashville on Monday. Because the Ottawa Senators are the only hockey team that really matters in my humble opinion, I watched this game and they showed Carrie in the private box laughing and cheering on her man. But as soon as she saw herself on the Jumbotron, she quickly made her way to the back of the box to watch the game from a TV, until the attention went back to the game and she came back out. From People,

“Though she’s kept mum since first being romantically linked with Ottawa Senators hockey player Mike Fisher last month, Carrie Underwood publicly cheered for her guy when his team took on her hometown Predators in Nashville Monday night.

Sitting in a private box in Nashville’s Sommet Center, Underwood gripped the edge of her seat as he drove the puck to the goal and grimaced and cringed as Fisher was body slammed. At one point, Fisher appeared to look up in her direction and she flashed a smile.

Fisher was credited with an assist, helping his team beat Nashville 2-0, and Underwood – who in the past has appeared at Predators games to root for her home team – clearly battled divided loyalties. The singer tensed up when the Predators appeared close to scoring, but also gamely displayed her “fang fingers” (a gesture mimicking Predator mascot Gnash’s teeth) along with the crowd.

Having a great time, Underwood boogied and sang along to snippets of “Ice, Ice Baby” and “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” played over the loudspeaker. She remained in her box throughout whole game before reportedly joining Fisher in the team’s dressing room.”

*Sigh* I just love these two so-o-o much and I think that Carrie is totally too cute as she cheers for Fisher. What else is there to say about these two except that I love them and I hope that they can bypass all of the scandal and crap that so often sullies the beautiful things that so rarely come up in the celebrity world.

Carrie Underwood Scores with Mike Fisher

It’s just now being reported that Carrie Underwood is dating Mike Fisher, who is the second line center for the Ottawa Senators but apparently, this relationship has been going on for months and the two are extremely happy together. Aw, this relationship makes me so happy I could cry! One of my favorite singers and a player from my favorite hockey team finding true love…it’s almost too good to be true. But apparently, these two are super serious and even chose to ring in the New Year together. From NY Daily News,

“Country-crooner Carrie Underwood, 25, has a new man in her life. Enter: hockey player Mike Fisher.
The 28-year-old Canadian-born hunk, who plays for the Ottawa Senators, was spotted earlier this year hangin’ around some of the “American Idol” winner’s concerts. But over the holidays, Underwood was caught by the Jumbo Tron at one of his games relaxing with his family in the VIP box.
And New Year’s Eve? Underwood reportedly spent it with Fisher.
“I think it’s serious, I mean he’s really happy with her. They’re a perfect match,” Tony Greco, a fitness trainer and close friend, said.”

I tend to get nervous when anyone talks about how someone, or something such as a relationship is perfect but I have to say, I don’t think I could handpick a couple that would make me happier. Carrie certainly has something for athletes. She had a very serious relationship with football star Tony Romo and she was also linked to Michael Phelps when he was making all those headlines during the Olympics. I do hope that Carrie and Mike find happiness together for a very long time. They look so cute and their kids would be so cute. I wonder what their kids’ names would be…….?

Is Carrie Underwood an Idiot?

I really love Carrie Underwood and I always thought ‘that would be the day that I would write something about bad about her,’ but some of her more recent public comments really have me wondering if the bright lights have really gotten to her in a not-so-good kind of way. The first interview that got me thinking I read in the Daily Blabber, where she talks about her new feud with Jessica Simpson. Remember when Carrie started talking some time ago about how her ex, Tony Romo, kept calling her? Well apparently, Jess didn’t like Carrie talking that way about her man and got upset. Really?!?! I am not a Jessica Simpson fan by any stretch but really, you have to understand why this would upset her. Apparently Underwood didn’t think that far in advance before she let that story slip from her lips. From the Daily Blabber,

“Carrie says that she’s sorry for making Jessica Simpson mad by telling the world that Jess’ boyfriend/Carrie’s ex Tony Romo still calls the American Idol winner.

“It was something that was said in passing, and I would never mean to say anything to hurt anybody or stir up anything, because I’m just not about drama…at all,” Carrie told the mag.

Jessica reacted by saying that there was no way her man was calling Carrie — and that she had looked at his call log to find out the truth.

And Carrie says she gets why Jess was pissed at her. “I might be mad too if somebody said my boyfriend was calling some other girl,” she said. “So I can definitely see where she would be coming from.”

Now, I’m not going to mention the fact that if you need to look through his call log to get the truth, chances are there are bigger issues. But really, Carrie! How could she be so naive as to think that a statement such as that isn’t going to offend anyone. But she wasn’t going to stop there. She still had a whole slew of celebrities to insult, by stating that she has no respect for anyone who publicly supports a presidential candidate. From US, ”

Carrie Underwood has a message for Oprah, Diddy, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and even Heidi and Spencer: Don’t publicly back candidates for office.

“There is someone I do support, but I don’t support publicly,” she tells TV Guide, as excerpted by Just Jared. “I lose all respect for celebrities when they back a candidate.

“It’s saying that the American public isn’t smart enough to make their own decisions,” she goes on. “I would never want anybody to vote for anything or anybody just because I told them to.

“Music is where you go to get away from all the BS,” adds Underwood, who recently apologized for saying ex Tony Romo still calls her. “Whether it’s from politics or just the world around you, music should be an escape.”

I don’t think anyone was saying anything about the American public until she brought them into it, to begin with. And I also don’t think that it’s wrong to publicly support one candidate or another or to choose to keep your opinion to yourself. I would much rather someone that I recognize speak from their heart and tell me why they are voting for someone, rather than have a politician reiterate their rehearsed speeches and tell me why they are the best. Whichever way you want to play it, whatever you want to say about politics, I think it’s an area that needs to be respected at all times and saying something such as you have no respect for people who publicly show support really does just seem idiotic to me.

More Carrie Romance Rumors

Since she began dating Tony Romo and their subsequent breakup, people have been very interested in Carrie Underwood’s love life. And since she’s one of my favorite artists, I always have been too. The last rumor had her hooking up with Michael Phelps in what looked to have the makings of a bizarre love triangle with Lindsay Lohan. Well that seems to have naturally dissolved and while Phelps has started to make his own name on the Hollywood scene, Underwood has been looking to those who have graced the star scene in the past. And this time, she’s looking towards the former Bachelor, Travis Stork. From Angry Ape,

“Carrie Underwood is dating Travis Stork and the two have been romantically linked for months, say reports.

The country singer met the reality TV doctor in 2006 says the National Enquirer, and according to a source: “Carrie and Travis quickly developed a long-distance phone and text-message relationship.”

“They’ve kept the romance under the radar, but Carrie’s been telling friends that it feels like they’ve known each other forever. They are so sure of their feelings that they’re already talking about settling down together.”

Now although the Enquirer has proven to be factual just recently in their celebrity news, I do still have a twinge of doubt about this story. That being said, I would love it if this were true! These two make a totally hot couple and they’d be so pretty to look at as the papps snapped away at every little outing they went on together. Underwood obviously has her fair share of men falling at her feet but it seems as though she’s having trouble finding that special one. Or maybe she’s just been having fun up until this point, enjoying all that celebrity life brings. Aww, that was…until Travis….*sigh* We’ll have to keep an eye out for these two to see if this rumor proves to be true.

Phelps Sparks Cat Fight at VMAs

Okay so this may be the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. First of all, I’m so over Michael Phelps and this celebrity status that he has achieved. I’m not denying the boy is good but the drama that already surrounds him is ridiculous. The first rumors to circultate were that he and Carrie Underwood were planning on dating, and then he was ignoring Lindsay Lohan’s desperate pleas of attention and now, it seems that Lindsay is back in the drama again and this time, she’s not only sharing the spotlight with Miley Cyrus, but she’s battling it out for the sole rights to it. From The Pop Crunch Show,

“Human Dolphin Michael Phelps has created a bit of drama between former Disney child star Lindsay Lohan and the studio’s current little mini moneymaker Miley Cyrus. The ladies now hate each other after both battled it out for the honor of escorting the Olympic hero on-stage at the 2008 MTV Video Awards earlier this month.

A National Enquirer tattle claims: “It was nightmate. Both Lindsay and Miley were wildly excited at the prospect of waltzing on-stage with Michael, so producers proposed draping one on each arm-but the girls did not want to be with each other and neither would back down!

Digusted with the tag-of-war over Phelps, MTV ultimately blew off both starlets, opting to send the champion swimmer on-stage alone instead.

“Lindsay was fuming.”

So there are just a couple things wrong with this story. The first being that Lindsay is a lesbian and that Miley is a mere 15 years old - eight years younger than Michael. I know we all have our questions about Miley but I really think her parents or at least Michael’s PR people would step in and stop anything from happening here, which I don’t think would even happen in the first place.

Michael Phelps is a Popular Boy

Just a few days ago it was reported that fourteen-time Olympic medal winner, Michael Phelps, was planning a “quiet, first date” with country singer Carrie Underwood. Well it seems that Michael impressed more than just the judges this past year as Carrie is not the only one that’s interested. It seems that Lindsay, who has been seeing girlfriend Samantha Ronson for some time, would also like the chance to date Michael. From Contact Music,

“LINDSAY LOHAN has reportedly been pleading with Olympic swimmer MICHAEL PHELPS for a date.
The actress - who is rumoured to be dating DJ Samantha Ronson - is said to have bombarded the U.S. gold medal winner with calls and text messages asking him to take her out.
And his cool response hasn’t put her off - because the more he ignores her, the harder she tries.
A source tells Britain’s Daily Mirror, “At first he thought it was a joke when she got in touch. But she’s since been phoning and texting constantly.
“It’s become a running joke in his camp. Lindsay has been trying to meet up with him. They’re both going to the MTV Video Music Awards next month so they’ll be sure to see each other properly then.
“Phelps is certainly flattered by all the attention but it’s not clear how seriously he’s taking it all.”

So, I’m not all that happy about this. I really love the thought of Carrie and Michael together and while I do really like Lindsay, I think that she should just stay with Sam and retreat from the swimmer’s life. I also wonder how Samantha is taking all of this? Her relationship with Lindsay has come under great fire both with the media and her family and they seemed to have stayed strong so far and come out the better for it. It would be hard for me to believe that a cute athlete could break that up with just one text.

Carrie and Michael Getting Along Swimmingly

Ever since her breakup with Tony Romo, people have been talking about who Carrie Underwood’s potential replacements may or may not be and we have all been ear-marking the stars that we would most love to see her with. Well it seems that Ms. Underwood was paying very special attention this year to the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics as the glint from Michael Phelps’ fourteen various Olympic medals caught her eye. She commented that he was cute, someone overheard and the remark made its way to the ears of Phelps who was overjoyed. It turns out the two are already planning their first date and it sounds as if Michael is as cute as Carrie is. They remind me of two teens in high school as the Pop Crunch Show reports,

“An excited Michael is hoping there won’t be too much eating involved on this outing. The 23-year-old athlete told Carrie, “I’m not so sure you’d want to see me eat! It might not make a great first impression.”

“Carrie needs someone who is going to stick by her,” a skeptical pal of Carrie’s revealed to the National Enquirer. “She was devastated when her relationship with Tony Romo broke. The last thing she needs is a relationship with another high-profile celebrity who’s going to end up loving and leaving her.”

I never trust the National Enquirer for any reason but I don’t think anyone should be skeptical about this hookup. I think it’s awesome and frankly, whoever she dates is going to be taken to high-profile celebrity status simply because they’re with her. I might be more excited about this date than Michael is! I really hope it goes well and that these two have a long and beautiful relationship while we stick our noses into it!

Does Tony Romo Want Carrie Back?

Recent news about Tony Romo continuing to call Carrie Underwood after their big split has had people (well okay, me) wondering if he wants the country singer back. Tony dated Carrie before he began dating his current girlfriend, Jessica Simpson. I think if Carrie and Tony were especially close, calling may not seem all that odd after a breakup. However, reports say that it is not the odd phone call here and there but that he calls her all the time, and that she doesn’t seem to mind it at all. From Contact Music,

“The Before He Cheats singer dated Romo in 2006 before the pair broke it off and he moved on to pop sensation Jessica Simpson.
And the Oklahoma-native admits she’s keen to stay on the receiving end of Romo’s calls, because the pair are so alike.
She says, “We were both small-town people doing very big things, and we relied on each other, dealing with fame.”
But Underwood admits she doesn’t always pick up her ex’s calls: “The phone will ring and it’ll be him, and I’ll maybe not answer.
“You never really know why somebody wants to be around you, or if they do genuinely like you. I wish everyone had a label on their forehead so you could automatically tell their intentions. Sometimes you just wish that no one wanted anything from you.”

Well, I think Tony definitely wants something from her and I’m thinkin it’s not friendship. I wonder how Jessica Simpson feels about all of this. Oh wait - it’s Jessica Simpson. She probably just wonders what that shiny thing is that he keeps talking into.
