Trace Adkins Says the only reason he is on Celebrity Apprentice All Stars this season is because his house burned down. Trace revealed that he will raise money for The American Red Cross. “It took my house burning down to get me to come back.” Trace says. The relief organization was there when Trace’s house burned down in 2011 and he wanted to pay them back, which is why he chose the Red Cross as his charity for this season of Celebrity Apprentice beginning March 3rd on NBC.

Faith Hill is still getting used to having braces on as an adult. It was kind of obvious that her adult braces were bothering her a little during her Grammy appearance Sunday night. Faith says the reason she had to have the braces put back on after wearing them as a kid was because she didn't wear her retainers the first time around. That's her message to kids with braces. "Wear your retainers, kids."

Carrie Underwood brought home the Grammy for Best Country Song for Blown Away and she brought the Staple Center to it's feet when she performed in a "digital dress." For those who have been to one of Carrie's concerts, you know that she had done the light up dress thing in concert for years. But this one was a little different. In addition to lighting up, the dress also served as a digital screen for butterflies, roses, stars and abstract graphics dancing across the front of the ball gown. It was the first time in Grammy history that an artist's wardrobe acted as a movie screen. (See photos of the dress here.) Carrie said of the dress, "I just like to stand still and sing sometimes!

I hit pause on one shot and stood there staring at her ... and started crying. I hated the fact she was there without me, on her own. Ridiculous, right?"

Blake Shelton apologized for angering country legend Ray Price when he said during an episode of GAC’s “Backstory” that as 'Male Vocalist of the Year’ he is one of those people to decide if country music moves forward and if it moves on. "Nobody wants to listen to their grandpa’s music," he said in the interview. Ray Price released a statement about Blake's comments, saying, “Stupidity Reigns Supreme!" and predicted that Blake's music won't be remembered in 2075. Blake apologized to Mr. Price, calling him a "hero" but also said, "I meant every word I said. Country music is my life and it’s future AND past is important to me."

A singer named Summer Cunningham started a firestorm on American Idol Wednesday night (Jan. 23), that led to Nikki Minaj walking off the set and shutting down production. When Keith Urban asked Summer about her background, Cunningham replied, “I did the country thing for a while,” which he took issue with. “That’s like saying, ‘I did the brain surgeon thing,’” he said. “You’re either a brain surgeon or you’re not.” While Cunningham won her way to the next round in Hollywood with four unanimous votes, Nikki Minaj ended up in a heated, and sometimes profane, exchange with Mariah Carey over the singer's comment.
