Carrie Underwood is the cover girl for the December 2009 issue of Lucky magazine. I have always loved Lucky magazine it’s one of the more sensible magazines out there to chose from.

Carrie tells the magazine that she’s a casual dresser in general, “I love dressing up when I’m in front of a crowd but in my downtime, nothing beats a great pair of sweats.” (And just for a fun fact…the outfit she is wearing on the cover is about $3500. It looks so casual in itself.)

Two more covers have been released for the December 2009 issue of O magazine. I think that I would be very happy if it was Ellen Degeneres and Oprah every month. (Here are the other two that were previously released.)

Oprah on the choice of Ellen for the cover: “Ellen DeGeneres is a woman who can make things happen. When she decided she wanted to be on the cover of O, she pulled out all the stops. It worked—for only the second time in O history, I’m sharing the cover with a woman I adore.”

On why she came out: “Just to say the words was so huge for me. You know, people say, ‘Why do you have to tell everybody, who cares, and why do you have to announce it?’ It’s because it’s your truth and the truth shall set you free.”

On wife Portia DeRossi: “Well, we’re perfect for each other. She is so beautiful and so smart and so funny, and with her, I have that sense of ‘I’m done now.’ I’m settled. I know that part of my life is taken care of. I’ve got love. I’ve got someone who will be with me till the day I die.”

On getting excited for American Idol: “They came to me, and it was a total surprise. I like to try new things because I get bored so easily. And I like the show, so I thought it was a great idea.”

This issue comes out tomorrow. Be sure to get it!

Adam Lambert released the artwork for his album last week on Twitter. Honestly, I thought that it was totally Adam. The glam rocker type thing. But what do I know? Adam took to Twitter again to explain the cover to the people that didn’t get it.

“Thank you to those who appreciate and understand that the album cover is deliberately campy. It’s an [homage] to the past. It IS ridiculous. For those that don’t get it: oh well… Glad to have gotten your attention.”

“Debut single is called For Your Entertainment get ready to shake yo asses to this song. It’ll make ya dance for sure. ”

I know that his record will be an amazing hit. He was the only one I rooted for on American Idol.

I usually don’t like to post NSFW pictures but Adam Lambert makes me forget all my rules! He’s the cover boy for the November 2009 issue of Details magazine. I love the photo shoot in the magazine and for pictorial reasons I say that I will include it. Here are some of the highlights to the interview in the magazine:

On kissing women: “I am gay, but I like kissing women sometimes. Women are pretty. It doesn’t mean I’m necessarily sleeping with them.”

On entertaining:“It’s all fantasy – that’s what entertainment is. I’m here to entertain you, and if my sexuality is apparent and you respond to it, and you’re attracted to it, then great, I’m doing my job.”

His American Idol past: “There’s a feeling of entitlement [with the fans] because they voted to get us where we are. But you know what? I am responsible for what I created on the show – you voted for what I created, and thank you, but I created it, you didn’t.”

VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED for the following pictures.

Ellen Degeneres and wife, Portia de Rossi, were seen eating out at Madeo restaurant in West Hollywood, California last night. The two of them are definitely one of my favorite celebrity couples.

I can’t wait to watch the whole season of American Idol this year since Ellen is going to be one of the judges. She will for sure put the comedy back into the show.

I finally got my Entertainment Weekly in the mail today, with the creased cover and all. I was excited to finally see what the pictures in this issue looked like close-up. And then I found this cute clip of Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner telling everyone that they love American Idol. The both of them said they would be on a future season and sang a bit of their audition.

What song did they sing? Find out in the video after the jump...

After speculating about what Paris Hilton’s role might be on Supernatural, it’s finally been revealed. Paris is set to appear on the fifth episode of Season 5 in the episode called, American Idol, which will air on October 8th.

“Paris Hilton is playing a demonic creature that takes the form of… Paris Hilton,” said creator and executive producer Eric Kripke said in a statement. “It’ll be a fun, irreverent episode and we here at Supernatural are thrilled that Paris agreed to do it.”

I can only imagine how Paris will do, she wasn’t too bad in House of Wax, which she starred along with Jared Padalecki in.

You all know that I, Willow Raine, LOVE American (ahem ADAM LAMBERT)Idol, and that I was sad, yet eventually okay, that Kris Allen had won.
However, I felt instant relief that Adam wouldn’t have to sing that HORRIBLY PAINFUL song “No Boundaries” written by Kara DioGuardi, and pity beyond words, that poor Kris had to. Nobody deserves that torture.
Thankfully, as reported by the New York Post

“THIS year’s roundly disliked “American Idol” victory anthem, “No Boundaries,” has been sent home.” AND ” was reportedly getting such a poor audience response during the concert that, without comment, Allen was told to find a new song to replace it.”

You can catch the article in it’s entirety HERE!

So, the punishment, and lyrical hell endured by Kris, has come to an end. If I were Kris, I would be having a party AND hosting a parade.

Ryan Seacrest, came from normal beginnings, just like the rest of us. He was born in Dunwoody, Georgia, and he may have actually invented the meaning of school spirit. Hosting the morning announcements at Dunwoody High School,staff writer with the school paper, a member of the model UN club and captain of the Swim Team “The Wet Wildcats”
By the time his childhood dream of being a DJ was brought to fruition, he was no longer “wet behind the ears” (Insert groan for horrible pun here).
After he graduated high school, Ryan went on to attend the University of Georgia in the fall of 1993,and began hosting his first radio show at a local Athens station. He left UGA at the ripe old age of 19, and moved to Hollywood to continue his broadcasting career.
It wouldn’t take him too long to realize his dreams,though, no worries. Put those tissues away! Fast forward, to 2002! (No we still had no flying cars, BUT it would, however, be the beginning of ALL Seacrest, all the time) Ryan accepted the position as co-host of the hit reality TV series American Idol with comedian Brian Dunkleman.
We don’t know where Brian went, poor guy. I do remember thinking, especially during Ryan’s diatribes that seem to go on over the span of SEVERAL eternities (HINT HINT RYAN, CEASE TALKING INCESSANTLY EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. ‘TIS NOT CALLED RYAN SEACREST TALKS AND MAKES BAD JOKES IDOL), that Brian didn’t talk as much, and where is he now?
Where was I? Oh, yes, yes, the point at hand. Apparently someone, somewhere loves Ryan, at the Fox Network. He just signed a contract tying him to them for another three years, for a whopping $15 MILLION PER YEAR.
No need to rub your eyes, you read it right. $45 million dollars over the span of three years.
I talk. I talk incessantly. Admittedly my jokes are normally much wittier than his (though it may be the fault of his writers, we’ll pretend that’s the case). My question is, where is my $45 Million dollar contract,eh? Heck, I’d settle for a $45 dollar contract at this point. *Laughing*
And in the words I’d imagine Ryan would say “This is Ryan Seacrest, taking over the world one radio and television venue at a time. Seacrest OUT.”
I have but this to say. Good for you, Ryan. Good for you.

Why couldn’t I have had an Adam Lambert when I was growing up? I lived in a tiny, one horse, very hick, Kentucky town, and most people who lived there were very narrowminded and set in their ways. Still are. To this day when I go back home, it’s like I enter a time warp. I was definitely “odd girl out”,did not fit in any box they would attempt to shove me in, and I despised their labels.
I preach, constantly, vigilantly, that people should hold tight to their individuality, be proud of who they are, and not let ANYONE influence that. Adam Lambert and I seem to have that mentality in common.
In an interview with People he said:

“It’s a really, really cool thing,to be able to show people that you can be yourself, and you should be proud of yourself, and you should own who you are and what you’re about, and never make apologies for it.” (View the full article HERE)

He cites that he is a good role model for kids and young adults, I could not agree more if I wanted to.ANYONE who faces the world, full force, not backing down and has the courage to go on to say :

“Conforming is not cool,embracing who you are and what makes you different is actually what’s really cool … The kids that are different and out there and expressive and are bold with those choices, those are the people that grow up to be people we all want to hang out with, that become celebrities or become really successful in what they do because they believe in who they are.”

DESERVES TO BE CALLED A ROLE MODEL.

I was different. My friends were different. None of us are famous (YET), but if we had someone of Adam’s caliber, acceptance and mentality to look up to when we were younger, maybe our lives wouldn’t have been so hard, carving out that niche, learning to accept ourselves, may have been a little less difficult.
If my god daughter, or children I may ever have, choose to have a role model in the public eye, I PRAY that they’re as wonderful as Adam Lambert, because if that is their hero, I could rest assured, they are being guided right, by someone other than myself.

THANK YOU ADAM FOR BEING INCREDIBLE.
