The virtually unrecognizable Kellie Pickler has a new video out for her song Best Days Of Your Life.  The video features Beet’s fave, Taylor Swift, who you just know was thinking about her lost Jonas the whole time they filmed this.

I could totally see this crossing over to Top 40 music which is a good thing.  I’ve been struggling lately because I can’t stand country music, but I find myself liking it and sometimes even seeking it.  This cannot be happening.

Taylor Swift is on and in April’s issue of Allure and she wants you to know that talking about love is fine but sex is an off limits topic.  Swift’s reasoning for the silence:  “It’s fine to talk about love publicly. But I think when you talk about virginity and sex publicly, people just automatically picture you naked. And as much as I can prevent people picturing me naked, I’m going to.”  I don’t know about you, but as soon as someone says, “Don’t imagine me naked,” that’s the first thing I do.

In regards to her relationships and how they relate to her music, she’s sounding a little Aniston-ish:  “Let’s say I date a guy who really does nothing but damage me. And you’ve spent time, you’ve spent effort, and you’ve put everything into trying to make that work. And it didn’t. So you write a song about it. It was worth everything, if you write a song about it.”  Dudette, you know your Jonas boy has moved on, right?

And in a heartbreaking indicator of just how many animated Disney movies Swift watched as a child, she imagines, “I have always been fascinated with fairy tales and the idea that Prince Charming is just one castle away.  And you’re gonna run across a field and meet each other in the middle and have an amazing, perfect movie kiss. And it’s gonna be happily ever after.”  Good luck with that Tay.

The issue is on stands March 24th.

Awwww, my precious Taylor Swift!

Everything she touches turns to gold!

CSI usually loses out in the Sunday-night ratings battle against Desperate Housewives and Lost, at least with an audience who hasn’t quite hit retirement age. But with Taylor Swift starring in a guest role last week? It showed up as the night’s top scripted show among adults 18-49, and the top scripted show among women 18-34.

Clip above.

What do we think of Taylor’s big acting debut, kids? (She’s cute, and she’s not terrible, but personally I think she oughtta stick to singing.)

A lot of haters thought that Taylor Swift would get forced out of the #1 spot on the Billboard charts this week by the soundtrack for the Jonas Brothers’ movie.

NOT EVEN CLOSE!

Tay-tay and Fearless hung on to the #1 spot for the 11th week, and the Jonas Brothers didn’t even land at #2 — they were a distant third, selling only 49,700 copies in the album’s debut week. That is a VERY SAD NUMBER. The #2 spot went to a metal band called Lamb of God with an album called Wrath. I’ve never even heard of them, but they solidly outsold the JoBros!

Is JoBro mania over already???

That was fast!

Good riddance, boys!

Taylor Swift attended the Brit Awards last night in a rather unflattering, silver, spangly sheath.  Shouldn’t the gal with the number one album be able to afford a stylist by now?  Or a full-length mirror?  Contact lenses?  I’ve read the reviews and I’m aware that my opinion is unpopular on this one.  Of course I also hate Oprah and Julia Roberts so it’s safe to say that I don’t think like any other human being.

Okay.  I’m done.  She’s still cute.  Clad in a shapeless Vegas showgirl, flattened disco ball thing, but cute.

Taylor Swift tells it like it is in the March issue of Self magazine.  If you don’t want to end up in unflattering lyric, don’t screw with Tay.

“If you don’t want me to write bad songs about you, then don’t do bad things,” Swift, 19, tells Self magazine in its March issue.

She lives by that simple mantra – and a commitment to writing honest songs. “I don’t think honesty is ever something you should regret,” Swift says. “I figure if I’m going to cover things up and try to hide the way I feel and try to be perfect all the time, people are going to see through that.

She continues: “And also, if you’re trying to change yourself all the time to adapt to what you think you should be, you’re going to run out of the things to be after a while.”

Still, the teen superstar says she’s a little surprised by how fervent her audience is. “What blows me away the most,” Swift says, “is that anyone actually cares what I have to say.”

But that doesn’t mean she’s unappreciative.

“If I sign an autograph for someone, I don’t put them in the category of ‘fan’ and keep them at arm’s length,” she says. “If we strike up a conversation and we like the same things and we have the same sense of humor, then they’re my friend.”

Sure, she’s all about honesty now.  Her PR team just hasn’t retooled her and knocked all of that refreshing youth out of her yet.  Soon enough she’ll be recanting and denying all over the place.

As far as making friends with autograph seekers, two words:  Rebecca Schaeffer.

Oh noes!!!

After eight weeks of being at the top spot on the charts, Taylor Swift’s Fearless finally has a challenger to be scared of.

Taylor is at the #2 spot this week.

Can you guess who beat her out?

Answer is after the jump.
