Taylor Swift’s Signature Perfume

Taylor Swift has somehow bottled that sunshine that surrounds her with a new Elizabeth Arden fragrance! Taylor Swift takes the phrase “that’s the smell of sweet success” to the next level, introducing a new line of fragrance products from Elizabeth Arden. The new Taylor Swift perfume should be available just in time for Christmas. I’m just trying to guess if it will be flowery, sugary, baby powder-ish or what?Country Music Photo Gallery

The Judds Document the Last Encore Tour

The Judds to turn their Last Encore tour into a reality show on Oprah’s OWN network? Country’s classic duo, The Judds, have announced that they will be documenting their Last Encore tour to be aired on the Oprah Winfrey network. After watching the pair in a few recent interviews, I’m sure this will be interesting to say the very least. They both display so much tension between them, even in short interview segments, that I can only imagine what it would be like to follow them around with a camera 24/7. The duo is optimistic about the series though, stating: After 25 years of touring, recording and singing the music we love, we are beyond excited to begin this new adventure together and share it with the fans,” mother and daughter said in a statement. “To have this opportunity is amazing and the OWN Network is the perfect home for us.” I wish them both the best of luck and can’t wait for the tour to kick off later this month! You can also stay tuned to ABC on Wednesday November 10th for a special performance from Wynonna and Naomi on the 2010 CMA Awards! Country Music Photo Gallery

WhiskeyChick explores the difference between bloggers and career web journalists. In a world where Perez Hilton and S%$T My Dad Says get their own tv shows and radio hours, it’s hard to have faith in the world of online journalism. However, some writers take their craft very seriously, and want to spread the word on how to preserve the integrity of journalism as we embrace the digital age.
