Label execs for Taylor Swift are playing her new song, Mine for radio stations across the country. One of them described the song as an uptempo song that?s unmistakably Taylor. It?s a boy/girl song, sort of like Love Story, but a much more realistic look at a relationship. It shows Taylor?s growth and maturity over the 2 years since she released Fearless, but still maintains Taylor?s ability to tell a story with an instantly memorable hook.

Mine will be the first release from Taylor's upcoming new CD, Speak Now, which hits stores on 10/25.

There was a time when TIM MCGRAW and his band would do shots to warm up before a concert. Not anymore. These days he drags them out on the streets to do some running.

--He says, quote, "It's such a great warm-up to go get a three mile run in, then come in and sort of go real quick on stage right after that. You're already warmed up, you get going into the show and you're fired up."

I run 3 miles sometimes but it's usually a warm-up for sleeping or eating !

Kellie Pickler is worried she?s gained 12 pounds, but she has a plan to get herself back into shape just in time for her wedding to songwriter Kyle Jacobs.

Kellie tells OK Magazine, ?I was looking back at the CMT Awards. My grandpa was in there on the couch, and I guess they were re-airing it on CMT. He had it on, and I went ?oh s***, I have got to step away from the beer. The beer and the fries ? I?ve gotta quit.?

"You?ll see pictures of yourself, or you?ll put your clothes on, and you?ll be like ?oh, my pants are too tight, I can?t breathe.? You notice it. I?ve gotta start cutting back. That?s one reason I?m running on coffee today.?

Her biggest diet challenge is her eating pattern. Pickler says, ?My thing is I?m such a night owl that I?ll go through the day without eating much ? hardly at all ? and then at night, I?ll cram it everything in and then go to bed. That?s why I?ve gained probably 12 pounds this year.?

Joe Nichols was asked by Ladies' Home Journal for a poignant story about his fans. He says a group of fans got together and bought him a brick in the new Busch stadium. Joe says his dad was a security guard at Busch stadium in St. Louis when he was a kid and they used to go to Cardinals baseball games together.

Nichols "grew up a Cardinal fan" and his fans know that. So he says "when they were building the brand new Busch stadium" these fans bought him a brick "and had it inscribed and dedicated" to his dad. Nichols says "its really cool and a very thoughtful gift."
