Carrie Underwood is fur-free and fabulous

I'm sure everyone knows that Carrie Underwood is a vegetarian, but did you also know that she refuses to wear fur? Okay, I'm not 100% sure that's true but I'll go ahead and say it since PETA decided to plaster this poster on the DC Metro stops today so that everyone will know that Carrie along with Michelle Obama, Oprah, and Tyra Banks is a friend of the animals.

Willie Nelson and Taylor Swift both show up on the Valentine's Day soundtrack

No surprise that Taylor Swift would have a song on the new soundtrack for the movie "Valentine's Day" since a) she's in the movie and b) it's a movie about lovey dovey Valentine's Day and who better who write songs about lovey dovey Valentine's Day (and the breakup afterwards) than Miss Swift? But Taylor isn't the only country singer on the CD, also making an appearance is Willie Nelson and Jewel. You can catch a snippet of Taylor's song Today Was a Fairy Tale in the new featurette below.

Does Charlie Daniels play a mean fiddle?

Well duh!

Be watching the airwaves everyone because starting today Geico is launching a new commercial series they call "Rhetorical Questions" in which the main character asks questions such as "Does Elmer Fudd have trouble with the letter R?" and "Did The Waltons take way too long to say goodnight?" and of course "Does Charlie Daniels play a mean fiddle?"

Not too sure if these spots will ever be as classic as the gecko, but at least they're far less annoying than the caveman.
