Carrie Underwood Won't Cohabitate with Mike Fisher
Originally posted 11/18/2009 07:40AM
Things are going well for Carrie Underwood and hockey boyfriend Mike Fisher – but not well enough for the two to shack up.
"No, call me old-fashioned. He's there. I'm here," Underwood, 26, tells Ellen Degeneres in an interview to air on the TV host's program Wednesday. "We're both doing our thing and it's good. The next guy I move in with will be my hubby. Whoever that is. I'm not saying it's going to be him."
But despite it all, the odds look good for the Ottawa Senator – you could even say that this romance has got legs.

Taylor Swift Sweeps the CMAs
Originally posted 11/11/2009 11:15PM
Taylor Swift opened the show with a winning performance – but the 19-year-old singer had to wait until the end of the Country Music Assocation Awards telecast Wednesday night to collect the biggest honor: entertainer of the year.
Sobbing as she took the stage of Nashville's Sommet Center, Swift – the youngest-ever winner of the CMA's top trophy – called her band to join her onstage. "I will never forget this moment because in this moment everything I have ever wanted has just happened to me," she said.
It was a monumental night for Swift, who took home four awards in total, including album of the year for her smash hit Fearless and, in an upset, female vocalist of the year, beating out the night's co-host, Carrie Underwood.

Carrie Underwood on Mike Fisher: It's Love!
Originally posted 11/03/2009 03:25PM
Carrie Underwood may sing about heartbreak, but in real life she's found love with boyfriend Mike Fisher, giving the hockey player a shout-out on the liner notes of her new CD, Play On.
"Thank you #12," she writes in the notes, referring to the Ottawa Senator player's jersey number. "You are the most amazing addition to my life! You are such a wonderful person and have had such an amazing hand in the building of this album and in the growth of me as a person. I love you so much! You make my life better in every way! I thank God for you every day... xoxo, Carrie."
Though the couple have mostly remained under the radar, recently they've been more open about their nearly year-long relationship. Last month Fisher talked to The Sens Show, a Web news program for his team, saying the busy twosome work hard to spend time together.
"Obviously it's tough with our schedules to see each other," he said at the time. "But we always find a way to make it work."

Mike Fisher: No Serenades for Carrie Underwood
Originally posted 10/22/2009 06:05AM
It's safe to say NHL star Mike Fisher didn't woo his famous girlfriend, country singer Carrie Underwood, with a song.
"I like to sing," the Ottawa Senators player tells The Sens Show, a Web news program for his team. "[But] when I try to sing some of her songs, she just laughs!"
Fisher, 29, praises Underwood's talent, saying she's more than just a country crooner. "She can sing anything – I like it when she sings a good rock song," he says, adding that his favorite song of hers is something called "Temporary Home" from her new album, Play On, due out Nov. 3.

There was no sign of back-to-school blues at Checotah High School Friday morning when Carrie Underwood surprised her Alma mater.
Underwood, 26, the Academy of Country Music's Entertainer of the Year, presented 31 instruments – ranging from an oboe to an electric guitar and worth nearly $120,000 – to fifth through twelfth grade music students in Checotah, Okla., schools.
"If everybody did stuff like this, not even on a grand scale, for whatever community they're a part of, the world would be awesome," Underwood told PEOPLE after the event. "Especially if you give to schools, because funding is getting cut left and right, the music and art programs are the first to go. To me those are some of the most important [programs]."
