"I'm happy to confirm that Carrie Underwood is engaged to Mike Fisher, and the couple couldn't be happier"The message was similarly shared later in the day by the Ottawa Senators team member. In a press conference today, Fisher said:
"We're both obviously excited and very happy."No dates have been revealed yet, and expect things to remain relatively private for the time being. Carrie will be the second Idol champ to wed, as Ruben Studdard married his girlfriend last year.
The following are Idol-related odds and ends that happened this week:
>It was announced on Wednesday that Jordin Sparks would be appearing with the Jonas Brothers on a select few stops of their 2009 world tour. Although the dates on which she will perform with them have yet to be released, it would be a good bet that she will be at the Jobing.com Arena on Aug. 11 in Phoenix, Arix.
>Carrie Underwood got a day-late birthday present when boyfriend Mike Fisher scored a goal for the Ottowa Senators on Wed., March 11. Carrie was shown celebrating the goal and Fisher said he scored the goal for Carrie as a b-day present in a post-game interview. Bet Tony Romo could never do that!
>Amidst a hectic promo week, Kelly Clarkson's Walmart Soundcheck performances were added to the retail giant's Web site earlier this week. In addition to being interviewed, Kelly performed a medley of hits including "Walk Away," "Since U Been Gone," "My Life Would Suck Without You," "I Do Not Hook Up" and "Because Of You."
>Katharine McPhee last night unveiled her first vlog since signing with Verve Forecast on her official Web site. Watch it below:
Continuing to prove that she is the "covergirl" of the Idol franchise, Carrie Underwood finds herself on the cover of the March 23 issue of Country Weekly. Next to her reads "Carrie Underwood: How I've Changed."
The Oklahoman's "BAM"blogger, Brandy McDonnell, writes up a nice piece about the native Okie country star's cover shot, some of which can be read below:
Underwood tells the magazine that plenty of changes occur in everyone’s life between the ages of 21 and 25, according to a news release.
”I’ve definitely changed over the last few years as far as growing up,” she says in the release. At the same time she adds, “I hope that anybody that knew me before and knows me now can still say I’m the same person inside.”
You've heard of deer in the headlights, how about duck from the limelight? Carrie Underwood apparently did not want to be seen at Monday's Ottawa Senators / Nashville Predators game, a public setting mind you, where she was supporting boyfriend Mike Fisher, so what did she do to escape the unexpected panning from the cameras?
It looks like Carrie Underwood is over that loser QB from Dallas for good. She was spotted hanging out with the family of Ottawa Senators hockey player Mike Fisher according to The Ottawa Citizen.
Carrie is usually one to keep her relationships under wraps, but she was scouted with the 28-year-old's family in a VIP box at a game last week. Not much you can do to hide that.
So something must be in the water that attracts Idol alums that go the country route to hockey players. First Kellie Pickler and Jordin Tootoo, now Carrie and Mike. Hopefully this relationship won't go the way of the former's, though.
