It always seems a little strange to me to see someone whose name I'm already aware of heading to a television show to compete. It's not that it's a bad thing and I don't fault them for trying whatever it takes to make it, it just seems an unusual way to go once you've already had some success in Nashville.

We've all been there. You're sitting in your car minding your own business when one of your favorite songs comes on the radio and suddenly you're in car karaoke mode.

Miranda Lambert talks about new song featuring Carrie Underwood

When Miranda Lambert announced details of her new album "Platinum" yesterday and revealed that she had a collaboration with Carrie Underwood, fans naturally wanted to know more.

During a new interview on Yahoo, the singer tells how the duet with Carrie came to be.

Ridiculous or not, I'm pretty sure the song, which is called Something Bad, is going to be more like something completely awesome!

"Platinum" hits stores June 3.

Samuel L. Jackson singing a Taylor Swift song is the best thing ever!

While being interviewed by London's Capital Radio, Jackson was asked to recite (singing isn't really the right word to describe this video) Taylor Swift's We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. He obliged and the result is the best damn interpretation of a Taylor Swift song you'll hear all day.
