In a new interview with CMT airing Thanksgiving Day, Taylor Swift admits that she does keep up with the gossip blogs.

“I go on blogs all the time,” she says. “I like to go on Just Jared and Perez Hilton and see what’s going on with celebrities. I like to have things to talk about. I’m in the makeup chair a lot talking to people and I’m like, ‘So, did you hear that so-and-so was dating so-and-so and that they were seen last night and that they ordered salads?’”

And as for the times that she’s the focus of the blogs?

“I don’t have issues with showing up on those blogs, as long as it’s not too mean,” she says. “It’s like, ‘Yeah, I ate a salad last night. That’s okay if you know that.’”

Oh, Taylor! You need to read EVIL BEET! I WORSHIP you over here!!! You should give us salad exclusives!!! We already do daily Lohan and Paris posts and I would be SO DELIGHTED to run a Daily Taylor Swift Salad segment. Just email me every day and tell me what kind of salad you ate that day — or if you didn’t eat a salad at all — and I will write about it!

Your new album is MY FAVE!!! Get in touch!!!!

xoxoxoxoxoxoxo!!!!

My beloved Taylor Swift has scored her very first chart-topping debut with her new album, Fearless.

Taylor sold 592,300 copies of her sophomore album last week, kicking David Archuleta’s ass and landing her at the top of the charts. It’s the highest-selling country debut in over a year.

Well done, little one.

“I think, as far as branching out with acting, it would take something really right on the mark to distract me from music, because music is everything to me. If it were ‘CSI’ or ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ or a movie that was really, really smart, then I think I might venture off … I think I’d rather be a patient, [but on] ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ I wouldn’t care what I was playing — I would play a corpse, ’cause I love it that much. It is deep true love and it will never die.”

The endearing, brilliant, talented and charming Taylor Swift, in a new interview with MTV.

“As soon as I accomplish one goal I replace it with another one,” she explains. “I try not to get too far ahead of myself. I just say to myself, ‘All right, well, I’d like to headline a tour,’ and then when I get there we’ll see what my next goal is.”

I just adore this girl. I think she’s so fantastic and has such a great head on her shoulders. She’s not even really a girl-crush for me, because I respect her. It’s not a crush thing. I, like, want to take her under my wing and protect her from the world and guide her and be like a big sister to her. She’s so precious!

My darling, precious Taylor Swift has been shooting her mouth off about what an asswipe Joe Jonas was in their relationship, ending it with a 27-second phone call before taking up with the chick from his music video.

Well, Joe is finally ready to talk back. In a not-at-all-veiled post on his MySpace blog, Joe says the following:

Several things I will state with all my heart…

I never cheated on a girlfriend. It might make someone feel better to assume or imply I have been unfaithful but it is simply not true. Maybe there were reasons for a breakup. Maybe the heart moved on. Perhaps feelings changed. I am truly saddened that anything would potentially cause you to think less of me.

For those who have expressed concern over the “27 second” phone call. I called to discuss feelings with the other person. Those feelings were obviously not well received. I did not end the conversation. Someone else did. Phone calls can only last as long as the person on the other end of the line is willing to talk. A phone call can be pretty short when someone else ends the call. The only difference in this conversation was that I shared something the other person did not want to hear.

There were later attempts at communication that had no response.

I wish the best for the other person but could not sit back any longer and leave our fans with a wrong impression of the truth.

Whatever, stupid JoBro. You were a dumbass to leave the gorgeous and uber-talented Taylor for that stupid chick with the weird eyebrows.

TEAM TAYLOR, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

I just fall more and more in love with this girl every day. I’ve respected her talent for awhile now, but my complaint with her was that she just wasn’t interesting. Well, that’s beginning to change. Remember how Taylor was unceremoniously dumped by Joe Jonas over the phone? And then word came out that he was dating Camilla Belle? Instead of playing nice about it, Taylor’s telling it like it is.

“They’ve been together since we broke up,” Taylor said on the red carpet at the CMAs. “That’s why we broke up — because he met her.” When asked if she and Joe are still friends, Taylor replied, “We don’t talk.”

Aw, Taylor. I’ve been there, sweetie. You’re gonna be so much more successful than that jackass in the long run, baby. Hang in there.

Above find the song Taylor wrote about the break-up, “Forever and Always.”

I just love Taylor Swift. I think she looks stunning here and I’m so excited for her that it looks like her new album’s going to be a smashing success. Take that, stupid Jonas Brothers!

Before her Letterman appearance on Monday.

The biggest non-celebrities always have the longest list of criteria and most involved riders; their list of must-haves when performing.  Meryl Streep’s on set needs document probably reads “If you can get some bagels that would be great but don’t make a special trip.”

Anyway, Bjork’s rider states that she wants a homely backstage area.  That should be accomplished easily enough; wall-to-wall mirrors in her dressing room oughta do it.  In addition, she has such requests as halfa bottle of Remy Martin and a coat rack with ample hangers.  I wonder what would happen if they provided a whole bottle of Remy Martin?  Would she go all Johnny Depp hotel room on someone?  I can so see that nut bag screaming “What the fuck!?  I said 375mls!”  Speaking of screaming, her rider also lists a requirement of a bottle of honey.  Might try a vat Bjork…though I’m not sure any amount can soothe that cat caught in the wheel of a sedan screech of yours.

Another rider that just left me stunned was Vanessa Hudgen’s.  “All cups, glasses, plates, silverware, napkins should be of quality material.”  Who the fuck does she think she is?  Vanessa, for as long as you are responsible for Sneakernight, which is forevermore, you have no right to be calling the shots on tableware.  You should thank the lucky stars above if you get Chinet.

Now, I do love Taylor Swift.  But I read the condescending line “Edememe  (it’s soy beans…in frozen vegetable section)” and it makes me feel like she, or more likely her manager, needs to double up on the requested cases of, um, “Smart Water.”   If you want to request the fancy stuff, learn how to spell it.

Daughtry’s rider just made me sad.  Chris, I implore you, please aspire for more in life than Honey Smacks, strawberries with a peel and an existence without spellcheck.  Life doesn’t have to be so bleak.
