LeAnn Rimes has entered a treatment center to address emotional issues, according to her rep. "LeAnn has voluntarily entered a 30 day in-patient treatment facility to cope with anxiety and stress," her rep Marcel Pariseau tells People.com. LeAnn checked into the treatment center on Wednesday. Her rep says she is not there for an eating disorder or substance abuse.

Still waiting on some official word that Keith Urban will be an American Idol judge.  Carrie Underwood is all for it, "I do think it would be wise to have a country person in. You look at the track record of ‘American Idol,’ and there’s me and Scotty (McCreery) and Lauren (Alaina) who were the final two ... There’s obviously a want for it from the ‘American Idol’-watching audience because that’s who they are voting for"  Fox News is reporting that Keith is "in" to judge the next season of American Idol with Mariah Carey and Nicky Minaj.  A fourth judge may soon also join them.

A TV show loosely based on Miranda Lambert's childhood will be coming to NBC.  Industry insiders say Blake Shelton had a hand in helping Miranda negotiate the deal with NBC to air a new tv drama. Blake, of course, is an NBC star himself on The Voice. Miranda is producing a show loosely based on her own life, telling the story of a couple who runs a PI firm while raising two children. That pretty much mirrors Miranda's upbringing.  Her mother, Beverly, will serve as a consultant on the show.

Three country couples are among Music’s Top 10 Most Powerful Celebrity Couples.

A dream come true.  Dustin Lynch's lifelong dream come true this week when his self-titled, debut album reached No.1 on the country album charts. “Today is honestly one of the best days of my life,” says the 27-year-old Lynch from his home in Nashville. “I moved up here to Nashville right out of high school without knowing a soul. I dreamed of and have been working for this moment my whole life – and to be sitting here with a #1 album just seems unreal.”

Toby Keith says the songs he writes are all about what is going on his life at the time.  Well, with that in mind, we guess Toby was probably looking at some form of a cold beverage when he wrote most of the songs for his 16th studio album coming out November 13th.  He is calling "Hope on the Rocks."  The first single from the CD, "I Like Girls That Drink Beer," is currently climbing the charts.
