Kellie to be correspondent for New Year's

Kellie Pickler will join Idol pal Ryan Seacrest and veteran TV host Dick Clark for ABC's Dick Clark's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2009 special. Kellie will be a street correspondent in New York City's Times Square where she will help usher in 2009 with over one million people from around the world.
