I AIN'T AFRAID OF NO GHOSTS – CARRIE UNDERWOOD
Carrie Underwood celebrated her 33rd birthday on Thursday (3/10) by taking a ghost tour of Scotland. Carrie was in Europe to take part in the Country to Country Festival in the U.K. and Ireland, but she set some time aside to do a little "ghost hunting" -- sharing the pictures of her birthday adventure on Instagram. Carrie first posted a picture of her wearing a black t-shirt with words "I ain't afraid of no ghosts" printed on it. Another picture shows the singer wearing a headlamp and special goggles as she poses next to a smiling bedsheet ghost. Carrie then posted a picture of her standing in a field at night with the headlamp's light casting a halo around her. The caption for her photo said, "Awesome pic from our ghost adventures last night...That sky looks creepy! What an amazing birthday!"
SHOP DRINK, SHOP DRINK – MIRANDA LAMBERT
Before Miranda Lambert wrapped up her string of shows in the U.K. and Ireland over the weekend as part of the Country to Country Festival, she also had time to take in some of the local sights. In an interview with BBC Radio 2, Miranda said she did a little shopping while she was in the U.K., which actually turned into a bit of a pub crawl. Lambert said, "We did like the shop drink, shop drink thing, and then we just drank." But Lambert knows that drinking while shopping can sometimes have its consequences. Miranda said, "Sometimes you get home and you're like, 'What are all these bags?'" She then added, "Especially if you go with Ashley Monroe, 'cause I get to share all of these experiences with my best friend." The two just have to stay out of trouble while they're there. Lambert said, "One of our fans tweeted us: 'Why does Ashley and Miranda going to the U.K. together make me chuckle?'…I'm like ''cause it should.'"
And when asked if she'd be partaking in any of the U.K.'s famous fish and chips and doughnuts while she was there, Miranda admitted she was trying to watch her figure for the upcoming ACM Awards next month. Lambert joked, "I'll be like, 'I'm sorry none of my ACM clothes fit; I had fish and chips and doughnuts the whole time I was in the U.K.'"
PREPARING FOR BATTLE – BLAKE SHELTON
A video has been released that gives a sneak peek into how Gwen Stefani has helped Blake Shelton's team members prepare for the upcoming elimination battles on NBC's The Voice. The video starts with a playful exchange between Blake and his girlfriend, but then the two get down to business. The video shows Blake and Gwen listening to some of Shelton's team members perform, with the each of them giving pointers on how the artists can improve before the elimination rounds. And Shelton feels like he's made the right choice in picking Stefani as his advisor. He said, "I brought Gwen in because if there's anybody who understands what a battle round is it's somebody who's been a coach." Blake also recognizes that Gwen brings something new to his team, which he thinks can actually help his artists succeed. He said, "I've learned from seasons past that Gwen brings a different perspective to this thing than I do as a coach." The video can be seen here. The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 7PM on NBC.
