Christmas is something Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton look forward to -- and not just because everyone and their mother happily anticipates the holidays in light of cookies and eggnog, or that you get to tear open expertly wrapped gifts. The couple is so busy with their respective burgeoning careers that they view the holiday season as time to slow down and reconnect with one another. As it turns out, Shelton is also a big decorator. Who knew?
Taylor Swift's contemplative ballad 'Never Grow Up' provides the soundtrack for one of the cutest and most heartwarming commercials of the Christmas season. The spot, a promo for Walmart, captures the euphoria of Christmas morning for children, along with the innate joy of opening presents and spending time with family.

Taylor Swift's nonstop promotional schedule for her best-selling 'Red' album will continue right up until Christmas.

But since Christmas falls during the Aussie summer, Swift was able to soak up some rays -- albeit accidentally.
The drama surrounding LeAnn Rimes' duet with 'X Factor' contestant Carly Rose Sonenclar continues.

Rimes' statements seemed to lay blame on the teen.

The well-dressed Wanted got into the holiday spirit for their shoot for the January 2013 issue of Esquire.

Those celeb hounds at TMZ managed to catch sudden celebrity Blake Shelton while the country superstar was leaving the Hollywood hotspot Pink Taco recently. If there is one thing we know about Shelton, it's that he is always good for a quip, and TMZ got several of 'em on tape.
Shania Twain covers the new issue of Vegas, which is fitting since the country-pop diva just started her two-year residency at Caesars Palace in Sin City. In this case, the old adage that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas does not apply, as the 'Man!
