A Nashville newspaper reports that Kellie has a new four bedroom, four and a half bath pad cost around one-point-four-million dollars. But the hefty price tag comes with some cool new neighbors — Kings of Leon bass player Jarrod Followill lives just a couple of blocks away. Hopefully we can see it on CMT Cribs in the near future!

Always good for some laughs, here is Kellie Pickler on the Ellen show yesterday. It’s worth watching the whole thing…

I honestly think that if you were going to genetically engineer a human being to go over and entertain the troops overseas, you could do no better than Kellie Pickler.  She’s adorable, she’s funny, she’s smokin’ hot, and she can sing!  So it’s nice that Kellie is currently on her 3rd USO Tour in the Persian Gulf.  Randy Houser and Jamey Johnson are along for the ride, providing some great entertainment as well.

Yesterday I told you about Rascal Flatts’ official statement about their butts, and today Kellie Pickler has done the same thing!  She says that her new year’s resolution is as follows:  “I refuse to let my ass be floppy, saggy or dimpled in 2010.”  Now looking at Kellie in a bikini, I really don’t think she has too far to go in terms of having a perfect body.  But if she wants to get on her treadmill a little more often, that’s fine with me.  She says, in fact, that her treadmill has officially stopped being a clothes rack.

When Kellie Pickler was a senior in high school, she kicked BUTT at a local pageant, the Miss Stanly County competition.  Watch Kellie strut, sing and answer a typically hard-hitting pageant question here:

By the way, Kellie will be hitting the road again this holiday season as part of the USO tour. No word on exact details, but she loved the experience last year and she’s excited to do it again this year.

One of the funniest things about that video is the scary clown that keeps coming out to freak Kellie out. I guess that was a theme last week, because check out Ellen scaring Taylor Swift:

When I heard that she had become a redhead, I thought maybe strawberry blonde. But no, she’s gone dark red! I’m not crazy about it, but I do totally understand the need to switch it up from time to time. If you really must know more, watch Ellen today at 3 pm on Channel 8…Kellie will be there with her red hair on.

James Otto is on a Photoshop bender!  He’s been posting pics on Twitter all morning, but this one is my favorite:

Yep.  That’s James and Kellie Pickler.
