Some juicy Carrie Underwood news from American Idol.com

“Carrie Underwood recently wrapped a three-week reign at #1 on the country charts with “Wasted,” and now her previous multi-week country chart-topper, “Before He Cheats,” showcases her massive cross-format appeal as it cracks the Top 10 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 Radio Airplay chart this week at #9. The last country song to break into the Top 10 on the Mainstream Top 40 Radio Airplay chart was Faith Hill back in 2000 with “Breathe.”

Already a Top 10 at Hot AC, “Before He Cheats” notched a whopping five weeks as country’s #1 single in late ’06, scoring a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Country Song and earning multiple trophies at the 2007 CMT Music Awards. Now in rotation at MTV, the video for “Before He Cheats” was a recent “First Look” on TRL and became the first country video ever to air on the show, and the first country video added to MTV since Shania Twain’s “Man, I Feel Like a Woman” in 1999. It’s also red hot at VH1, where it’s the #4 most-played video and #4 on the viewer-voted VSpot Top 20 Video Countdown.“

Late last year, rumors came out that Tony Romo (the famous NFL Dallas Cowboys quarterback) and American Idol season 4 winner Carrie Underwood were dating. This news even ended the talks that the said football player was dating Jessica Simpson.

Sports editor Brian Nielsen has told IN TOUCH “After I asked (Romo) all my usual football questions, I said, ‘My wife really wants to know if the Jessica Simpson dating rumors are true… He (Tony) laughed and replied, ‘No. Tell her I’m dating Carrie Underwood.’”

Apart from that so-called very forward answer, Carrie and Tony have not formally admitted these dating rumors. Now, Star Magazine has reported that the two are planning to GET MARRIED. So far, still no reactions or formal statements from Tony and Carrie. Hmmm, something tells me that this is just another way for the magazine to make money. At the rate of their soaring careers, it would be great if they still have time to date anyone.

American Idol fourth season winner and innocent-looking pop gospel artist Carrie Underwood bags home two major CMT awards Monday (April 16), underscoring her importance in the mainstream recording industry. She picked up both Video of the Year and Female Video of the Year for the single Before He Cheats. The video of that track also won Best Video Director for helmer Roman White. In 2006, she had already won several country music awards. She definitely had not regretted going into country and gospel after winning the American Idol. In fact, she’s the first AI winner to bag all the three major music awards – two Grammys, one American Music Award and five Billboard awards.

Carrie Underwood, our American Idol season 4, will grace the cover of Country Weekly Magazine (April 9 issue). She will talk about her experiences in AI as well as her numerous endeavors after the exiting hit reality show. In the interview that accompanies the cover picture, Carrie will also be talking about how her conservative roots have greatly influenced her direction in life despite pressures from various fronts. With that, Carrie says she is grateful to her mom who has helped her a lot in coping with the treacherous showbiz industry.

Carrie reveals “My parents definitely did instill a moral compass in all of us.” When it comes to relationships, she says “There’s nobody in the picture romantically. But it’s better now that I have friends I can go hang out with in town.”
