Miranda Lambert is one of People's Most Beautiful Women

Awww.  

People Magazine's annual Most Beautiful Women issue hits newsstands this week with Gwyneth Paltrow making the cover. While the complete list of celebrities picked as the most beautiful hasn't been released yet, People does have a cute gallery for their Simply Stunning: Stars & Their Aww-dored Pets list, which I assume is also part of  this week's issue

Miranda Lambert and her sweet pooch, Delilah, made the list.

No photo shoot featuring the countrysinger would be complete without her best accessory: dog Delilah. "The unconditional love you get from an animal, especially a dog, is better than anything else," Lambert told PEOPLE Country. "They're so grateful and the love they give you back is like nothing else."

Blake Shelton gives TMZ his preferred sexy-time playlist artist

Mariah Carey's husband Nick Cannon recently revealed that he likes to do the dirty deed to his wife Mariah's music.

Lovely visual there.

Well naturally that means that TMZ's cameramen are asking all singers they catch out on the street if they do the dirty deed to their own music ala Nick Cannon. 

Blake doesn't mention if he listens to his or Miranda's music in those private moments, but he does say he likes to (or used to) get busy to some George Strait. 

Definitely a country boy. 

Check it out below. 

On a side note, is that an orange phone or cover I spot in Blake's hand above? Good color choice, my man. .

 

 

Let's all try and figure out if Taylor Swift had sex last night

Let's talk about sex, shall we? Or Taylor Swift sexy time to be more precise.

I know that some of you are opposed to your very soul to anything Taylor Swift related so instead of talking about Taylor and her always-revolving dating life, let's make it interesting and talk about Taylor and her possible sex life instead. 

So let's get started ...

Taylor Swift broke up with high schooler Conor Kennedy a while back (okay, I lied, there is some always-revolving dating life talk here. Sorry). 

(Blissfully Domestic)

But now Taylor's reportedly dating One Direction man-child Harry Styles. 

The two were photographed on Sunday strolling around Central Park. 

There was a baby involved (presumably neither Taylor or Harry's baby). The baby looked slightly less enthused than most small girls Taylor comes in contact with. 

(Actual picture of baby Taylor was holding). 

Taylor was much more excited by the whole baby-holding event. 

(Re-enactment of Taylor holding said unenthused baby)

I'm not kidding. Taylor pretty much had the same face as above when she was holding the baby pictured above. Don't believe me? Check it out here. 

There was even a seal involved in the date.

No, not that one, although that definitely would have spiced things up a bunch. 

But then on Monday, things got a little more interesting. 

They would pretty much have to wouldn't they?

Last night in New York, Taylor wore a lovely Oscar de la Renta gown when she headed to the Robert F. Kennedy Center to hang with her former almost-in-laws (and current neighbors) so they could honor her with their Ripple of Hope Award which "lauds leaders of the international business, entertainment, and activist communities who demonstrate commitment to social change."

After the awards ceremony was over, Taylor headed to an after-party to celebrate with new boyfriend Harry. Harry and the other members of One Direction were celebrating having just played Madison Square Garden. 

And as all hot after-parties do, there was karaoke involved (here's some video. It's not Taylor and Harry but it is a very big college football player rocking out to We Are Never Ever Getting Back Togerther and I found it cute as heck). 

Then at 4 a.m. this morning, Taylor was photographed holding hands with Harry as the pair left his NYC hotel in possibly the most G-rated walk of shame in the history of walk of shames.   

Oh sure, it's all circumstantial evidence but then came this fateful tweet by Harry. 

Last night was the best thing I have ever done.

I know! I know! I'm just as shocked as you!

My conclusion? None of you who are reading this (and that includes me) could care less if Taylor Swift had sex last night or not, but I had fun writing this post so thanks for sticking with it and making it to the end. 

Wow! Kellie Pickler is smoking hot in the pages of Maxim's special Salute To The Military 2012 issue

Hubba hubba. I think I may just have a new girl crush!

Kellie Pickler is on the cover and in the pages of Maxim magazine's special Salute to the Military issue and the girl is totally smoking hot! 

Kellie isn't just a pinup in the magazine, though, she also has an interview. A few of the highlights include:

On what inspired her to get involved in the USO tour:
"I comes from a military family. My grandfather is a retired Marine, and I've always had a great deal of respect for anyone who serves our country. It really does take someone special to sacrifice everything. I don't mean just their lives, either. There are men who are sacrificing the chance to hold their newborn baby!"

On her tattoos:
"My grandmother would be mortified if she knew I had these. She's passed away now, but she would say, 'Tattoos are the devil!' So my first tattoo, of course, was my grandma's name. I also have stars on my left arm for my USO tours, but I'm missing two."

On whether small town girls can be trouble:
"We might be, but we can also talk out way out of it. A country girl can talk her way out of a ticket. Not that I've ever been pulled over..."

I have to admit, I'm torn between being jealous of Kellie being in such close proximity to so many handsome men in uniform and so many handsome men in uniform getting the chance to be in close proximity to Kellie Pickler.

Carrie Underwood sips Coors in a bikini -- you're welcome!

Carrie Underwood and husband Mike got to take a rare break together and spent yesterday at a lake in Canada having a blast on a boat with friends. 

Carrie didn't look very happy about whoever was documenting her downtime with photos, but I'm sure her male fans are happy for the intrusion. 

Check out more pictures of all the fun over on The Daily Mail.  

Some nice words about Julianne Hough's dress

Yesterday, I had a post about the strange concoction Julianne Hough wore to the MTV Movie Awards. It was odd enough that it actually made Julianne frumpy.  Yes, it's actually possible for an outfit to make dancer-bodied Julianne look frumpy. 

Well today I got to feeling bad (not really) about being a Debbie Downer on Julianne's outfit, so I thought I'd make up for it by showing you a smoking hot Julianne. 

Julianne attended Spike TV’s Guys' Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday, June 2, 2012, where she wore a much more flattering Michael Kors dress, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, Karine Sultan earrings and a Le Vian ring (photo and info via Julianne's website)

The Guys' Choice Awards will air on Spike TV June 9^th.

Kellie Pickler, Taylor Swift, and Julianne Hough deemed hot by annual Maxim list

Maxim men's magazine has just come out with its annual list of the hottest 100 lady celebrities in the world.  

This year's list was a bit different than in past years because for the first time ever, the magazine let readers weigh in on who should make the cut.

The result? Comedian Stephen Colbert made it onto the list at #69 and Family Guy character Lois Griffin made the list at #85.

Glad to see that Maxim readers have a sense of humor. 

Making country proud on the list are Taylor Swift at #26, Julianne Hough at #47, and rounding out the country gals on the hot list is Kellie Pickler at #72.

At least they all beat out Lois Griffin. 

Check out the full list here.

Luke Bryan's not a very good actor, but who cares, he's almost shirtless

If Ashton Kutcher has taught us anything, it's that you don't actually have to be a good actor to get acting roles as long as you look good shirtless.  

Yesterday on The Ellen Degeneres show, Luke Bryan put this theory to the test in a skit called As the Tide Turns.

Yeah, I'd hire him if I was a director.  

And here's what Luke's actually good at....singing.

Hey, look who's back...it's sexy Shania!!!

Remember back when Shania showing her stomach in public was such a big deal and everyone was like, "Oh my goodness, what is country music coming to? Does she think she's Britney Spears or something?"

Sigh.  Those were good times.  I miss Shania's belly.

Well guess what?  Shania's belly is back!  Yep, sexy, belly-baring Shania is a reality once again.  

Okay, so it's just a corner of her belly on the cover of July's Gaming magazine, but come on, she is a mama after all...have to take these things slowly.

Time to vote for your favorite sexy country vegetarian

Well it's that time of year again, folks, time for Peta to make us all feel bad about ourselves because we choose to eat things that have faces. 

Boooo!

Peta is currently trying to find the sexiest vegetarian in all of celebrity-dom and four country gals have made the cut.  If you head over here you can put in your vote for your favorite vegetarian country gal - either Carrie Underwood, Chely Wright, Kellie Pickler, or Shania Twain. 

Good luck deciding, although if you follow me on Twitter (@nashvillegab), then you've already seen who I voted for.
