Country superstars like Carrie Underwood, George Strait and Keith Urban had some of the top news stories of 2012, but not for reasons one may have predicted at the beginning of the year. Of these 10, only two are related to things that happen onstage or in a recording studio. The rest are moments we'll always remember... and that some artists wish they could forget.
Ed. note: What are the Top 20 Movies of 2012? We asked our film critic Jordan Hoffman (who previously put together a list of the Best Movies of the first half of the year) to compile a list of the Best of 2012 of all the many movies he saw this year.
Luke Bryan has two songs on the Top 40 Country Songs for December 2012 list -- both in the Top 10 -- but neither is the month's hottest. It's a repeat honor for one country duo, who just one year ago were unsigned newcomers looking for a break.
The Band Perry make a big leap this month, and new s
November begins with a flurry of new songs by country superstars like Jason Aldean, George Strait and the Band Perry, but as they're brand new, each song hasn't had a chance to work its way up the Top 40 Country Songs list. That means more seasoned hits by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood get a crack at No. 1, yet both of these superstars fall behind a hot country newcomer this month.
While Halloween isn't until Wednesday (Oct. 31), country music stars put on their costumes to celebrate at concerts and events over the weekend. Hands down, these are the scariest, the sexiest and the most creative country music Halloween costumes for 2012. You may never look at these singers the same again!
Keith Urban is celebrating his 45th birthday today (October 26)! Despite already having released six albums and notching 14 No. 1 hits in 13 years, it seems like his best days are still ahead. On a personal level, Urban's found the love of his life and they're raising two cutie-pie daughters together. Nicole Kidman has also become his muse, leading the singer to make stronger music than ever.
Almost as exciting as the release Taylor Swift's long-awaited fourth studio album is decoding the not-so-hidden messages in the 'Red' liner notes. With each album, the superstar leaves clues as to who might have influenced each song by capitalizing certain letters in the lyrics. Put them together and... Well, you find out she was pretty inspired by the Kennedy family on this new album.
With 'Sinister' opening this weekend and Halloween right around the corner, we started thinking about kids from horror movies over the years that have really gotten under our skin -- and what happened to those kids, anyway? We take a look at some of the most memorable kids from horror films and where they are now.
Happy birthday to Scotty McCreery! The singer turns 19 years old today (Oct. 9), but he may not have time to celebrate between school, a busy touring schedule and the release of his new Christmas album. It's been another huge year for the Garner, N.C. resident. A platinum album, tours with Brad Paisley... How can year 20 get any better?
Sure, animals in Halloween costumes are adorable, but pugs always seem to have the most awesome Halloween costumes around. Those scrunched-up little faces of theirs give so much more character to the costume... Oh, who are we kidding? We can't explain it. Pugs in Halloween costumes are just ridiculously cute. We've got a list of the best Halloween pugs in movie costumes from 'Star Wars' to Marvel superheroes and so very much more.
