Kellie Pickler attended an Adam Lambert and Orianthi concert in Nashville this week and did what she does best: showed off her surgically enhanced body.

The "American Idol" star recently got engaged to her longtime boyfriend, songwriter Kyle Jacobs, during a romantic champagne picnic on a Florida beach at sunset.

She explained, "I remember saying to Kyle, 'Baby it's like I'm dreaming - but if this isn't real, I'm going to be very upset!' Kyle took away all my fear of marriage and has shown me the way love is supposed to be."

Fellow country star Miranda Lambert is also recently engaged,...

Former American Idol contestant Kellie Pickler is engaged to marry her longtime boyfriend, songwriter Kyle Jacobs.

The country singer's partner proposed on June 15th - a day which is usually steeped in sadness for the star as the anniversary of her beloved grandmother's death. But the day turned to joy this year when she accepted a dimond ring from Jacobs during a romantic champagne picnic on a Florida beach at sunset.

Pickler, 23, tells People.com, "It turned out to be the most amazing day of my life. My whole world changed. We both feel like we got my grandmother's blessing. I rememb...

Country star Brad Paisley exposed his tourmate Kellie Pickler's secret boob job, by screening before and after shots of the sexy star to thousands of concert fans.

Pickler has refused to confirm she went under the knife after appearing on TV talent show American Idol, despite a dramatic change in her appearance.

Paisley grew convinced Pickler had a bigger bust when she toured with him in 2008 and decided to let their fans decide for themselves on her last night on the road.

He reveals, "It was her last show, so we produced a video. We called it, 'You be the judge.' We showed photo...

A hillbilly celeb is like a young NBA player who came from nothing. Before they were popular they would eat at McDonald's, belch and swear in public, and do whatever they wanted. But now they live in a much different culture.

There are plenty of celebrities that came from nothing and turned into something. But what makes a hillbilly celeb different is the typically uneducated unsophisticated behavior that everyone enjoys watching.

Britney Spears and sister Jamie Lynn are perfect examples of hillbilly celebs. They are from the small town of Kentwood, Louisiana, and before they were mu...

Country star Kellie Pickler has a tough time enjoying tours and vacations, because she's afraid of hotels.

The singer admits she chooses to sleep in the confines of a tour bus rather than relax in five-star luxury when she's on the road - because she can't bear to use a hotel room someone else has slept in.

Pickler says, "I don't want to sleep on somebody else's mattress, so even five-star hotels are horrid to me. I like sitting on my own toilet that no one else has sat on."

Who can forget this classic from "The Newlywed Game":

Welcome to the American Idol ball! As evidenced by Paula Abdul's formal gloves. A good lead-off to the show with Frankie Avalon showing these amateurs how the old school performs, followed by a surprisingly good group number. Never thought Kylie Minogue's trance-dance classic would make a good pop tune, especially one sung by a group of Idol hopefuls.

Wow, these Ford videos are just getting creepy. I know they have to pay the bills - but do we have to go behind the scenes? And does anybody else think Adam provided his own makeup?

There's nothing better than when they get the j...

Too much black! Although the dress is cut low in the back, the front is an assault on the senses.

Although fashionable, few can carry off high-waist pants and still look sexy. Kellie Pickler does just that.

Other stars have attempted the same look with not-so-great results.

What do you think of the high-waist fashion trend? Let us know in the comments!

Singer Kellie Pickler is threatening to spice up the upcoming Country Music Awards by getting her python out.

The pretty blonde is eager to emulate Britney Spears' Slave 4 U performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2001 when she belts out an up-tempo number with her pet snake draped around her. Pickler says, "We would spice up country music."

However, the singer admits her reptile pet is too small to put around her neck: "She's little... She wraps around my wrist like a bangle." Pickler insists on taking her new baby python on the road with her - because people leave her alo...

The pair have penned a track together, entitled Best Days Of Your Life, and will record the song for Pickler's as-yet-unnamed album, which is due to hit record stores later this year.

Season five finalist Kellie Pickler returns to the American Idol stage, to perform her hit single, "Red High Heels," Wednesday, March 19 (9:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.

After competing on "American Idol," Pickler signed with 19 Recordings/BNA Records, and soon thereafter released her debut album, "Small Town Girl." The album quickly became the best-selling debut by a solo country artist that year and was certified gold in January 2007.

Pickler was recently nominated for Top New Female Vocalist by the Academy of Country Music, and earned her first Country Music Asso...

What does it truly mean to "turn over a new leaf?" Does it mean forgetting the past and starting fresh? Or do you learn from the past and move on with new knowledge?

This past Tuesday, the top 12 contestants on "American Idol" took on one of the biggest challenges off the show: they entered a new environment. From Hollywood to the new stage, each contestant started anew in a completely different atmosphere.

If that's not daunting enough, the contestants were required to perform a song from some of the greatest singers of the past, the Beatles' very own John Lennon and Paul Mc...

American Idol star Kellie Pickler went public about her split from ice hockey ace Jordin Tootoo onstage at two recent concerts, telling audiences she'd ended the romance after he cheated on her.

The country singer first aired her grievances at a gig in Michigan on September 22, when she told the crowd her new theme song is Carrie Underwood's Before He Cheats.

Pickler then jokingly added she hopes Nashville Predators player Tootoo has his teeth knocked out during an ice hockey game, before crying onstage while singing Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You.
