Keith Urban becomes American Idol Judge

Fox network offically announced Sunday (Sept. 16th), that Keith Urban and rapper Nicki Minaj are the newest American Idol judges.

Keith said in a statement distributed  by his publicist "It's really an honor to have been invited to be a part of the American Idol family. I'm looking forward to working with everyone and to seeing the same passion that I have for music in all of the participants."

This announcement follows weeeks of rumors and spectulation that Keith and Minaj would be joining Mariah Carey and Randy Jacksonas judges for season twelve. Mariah confirmed she would be back again in July. Randy has been a judge ever since the show first began.

Although the American Idol producers contacted other country music artists about becoming a possible judge, the rumors of Keith's selection for a spot intensified last week when he announced that  he would not be returning for another season of the Australian version of The Voice.

This should be interesting to watch American Idol again and see Keith as a judge instead of Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler, who will be missed. Now as they say in show biz "On with the show!"

Carrie Underwood likes healthy foods & doritos

I always thought that Carrie Underwood only ate healthy foods. However, she has admitted to liking truck stop doritos. I guess this just proves we're all just human and that every once in a while it is good to stop and enjoy the nacho cheesiness. Carrie told The Tennessean newspaper making good food choices is the eeasiest when she is  on the road. "I spend my days off, and this is the weird thing about me, I really love the grocery store so much. If I'm having a bad day, I go to the grocery store to buy groceries. There are so many things in my life that I can't control, but is something about me that I can control every single bit of it. I think that has something to do with it, too. I kind of become a health food nut when I'm on tour," Underwood says. "But, that's not to say we won't stop at a truck stop occasionally and I won't grab a bag of Doritos." After all you only life one so I say enjoy it.
