Country music is cleaning up this week on reality TV competitions. This past Sunday, Trace Adkins won All-Star Celebrity Apprentice. And last night (May 21), singer Kellie Pickler took top honors on season 16 of Dancing with the Stars.

Pickler shared her win with her professional dance partner Derek Hough. During Tuesday night’s finale, they were competing against Disney Channel star Zendaya Coleman and Val Chmerkovskiy.

When season 16 began, Kellie was one of two country artists on the program. Fellow dancer Wynonna Judd, though, was voted off in April.

Other stars competing this season included actor Andy Dick, figure skating champ Dorothy Hamill, football star Jacoby Jones, and Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman.

I’ll never ever forget this night!! Love y’all so much!!! Thanks so much for voting!!!! #DWTS twitter.com/kelliepickler/…

How Heartbreak Helped Michael Buble Make The Best Album Of His Career

mreal197 — Wed, 22 May 2013 16:11:46 +0000

Michael Bublè believes his latest album, To Be Loved, is his best yet. And he owes it all to a very public breakup five years ago.

The Canadian crooner told Vanity Fair that after breaking off his engagement with actress Emily Blunt in 2008, he was heartbroken and insecure.

“I was not a happy man for many years,” he said. “I never thought I could hold a relationship. No way. Because how could anyone love me if I didn’t? That sounds like a shrink would say it, but it’s the truth.”

After the break-up Bublè began to really look at himself and realize that he wasn’t getting any younger. He told the mag that fame can stunt your growth and he knew he needed to become an adult. Bublè even started reading the self-help book The Power of Now, which is all about spiritual thinking. He says the Oprah-recommended book was something he needed at the time.

“I started reading it, and I believed in it,” Bublè explained. “I started practicing it, and it was as simple as just being in the moment and being thankful for what I had and every day trying to be grateful and to try to work on myself. It was such a slow process, but it changed my life.”

He added, “Literally. If you talk to my mom and dad, they’ll tell you that I’m a different son. I’m present.”

Wedding Canceled? Bridal Brokerage To The Rescue!

Joan Dylan — Wed, 22 May 2013 14:39:48 +0000

Okay, if you are just about to get married please take this with a grain of salt as they say. 250,000 weddings a year are called off in the U.S. And for just this reason a new website and business was created! For canceled weddings,there’s BridalBrokerage.com. The start-up company makes a market between parties on the wedding continuum: couples who’ve decided not to marry who want to sell the wedding goods and services they’ve bought, and couples keen to buy a “prepackaged” wedding and save money at the same time. I just heard about this from a friend and thought it was a little sketchy. I mean if you are just engaged and planning a wedding, don’t you want to plan your dream wedding with all the touches that make you and your fiance unique? Then again….. you can save a ton of money and help the people who canceled and less planning for you. Hmmmmmm.

Founder Lauren Byrne had the idea three years ago, when a friend of hers who was to be in a wedding on St. Johns had to eat her ticket and dress when the wedding was canceled. When Byrne started telling people her idea, some were skeptical. Lauren said to ABC News when she was being interviewed, “We got a little bit of pushback in the beginning that people wouldn’t really want to buy someone else’s wedding, and that’s not the case at all,” Byrne said. “There’s over 2 million weddings a year in the U.S., and we’re seeing a lot of customers coming to us and saying they’d love to buy a prepackaged wedding.”

mreal197 — Wed, 22 May 2013 13:53:47 +0000

On Tuesday (May 21) night, Maroon 5 released a video for their single “Love Somebody” that uses the inverse of green screen technology. Directed by Rich Lee (Eminem, will.i.am), the video utilizes an effect that causes band member’s body parts to show up as they are covered in a thick, paint-like substance.

Adam Levine manages to make messy sexy and is seen rubbing his hands, full of paint naturally, over the body of a female model.

The song, co-written by Levine, Nathaniel Motte of 3OH!3, Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic and producer Noel Zancanella (Demi Lovato, B.o.B.) is the fourth single off the band’s 2012 Overexposed LP.

Today is My 20th Wedding Anniversary

Allison Demers — Wed, 22 May 2013 10:00:21 +0000

Twenty years ago today, I married my best friend and soul mate. I’d be lying if I didn’t say there were lots of bumps along the road, but I can honestly say it was all worth it! Honestly! That which doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger I feel like our marriage is better now than it’s ever been. Every year just gets better and better. I would love to have the same shape I did 20 years ago, but I wouldn’t trade it for the state of mind I have now. Boy, it’s great to be a lot more easy going. So, congratulations to me and my husband. We are tremendously blessed to have made it this far. I pray for many, many more years to come! We are actually teaching a marriage seminar for five weeks at our church. There’s something to be said about life experience. I always say, “if we can make it in our marriage, so can you! “
