Carrie Underwood
Gossip

No offense to Beyonce, Kanye West or any other sharp-dressed star, but in the opinion of The Hollywood Gossip, Carrie Underwood owned the Grammys.

In terms of celebrity fashion, that is. Although she also won a real award - Best Female Country Vocal Performance for "Before He Cheats." Hooray!

But from the moment she arrived at the Pre-Grammy Party held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel Saturday (left) to when she took the stage at Staples Center for the awards show Sunday in Los Angeles (right), Carrie looked great.

That's certainly no surprise to American Idol followers such as ourselves or any of Carrie Underwood's country fans. Here are some photos of our girl ...

Carrie Underwood's Grammy fashion gets an A+ both Saturday and Sunday.

The 24-year-old, who has already sold more than 11 million albums, has also been offered some acting roles of late, but nothing she's taken.

"I'm not going to say what I turned down," she said Saturday. "We have had some offers for different things, but nothing has really felt right."

Her dream movie: A light-hearted comedy.

"I know I am not going to be the lead roles in some drama," Carrie Underwood said, "but if a small fun part comes open, than yes."

Don't worry, Carrie Underwood, we haven't forgotten about you!

As we sing the praises of new American Idol hopefuls - such as Kady Malloy and Michael Lee Johns - we still have time for our favorite contestant of all-time.

Check out Carrie's video for her new song, All-American Girl:

We can only hope finalists from the upcoming season of American Idol provide us with as much news - and beauty - as Katharine McPhee and Carrie Underwood.

We're sad to report, though, that McPhee has parted ways with RCA after just one album, a 2007 self-titled CD that debuted at #2 on The Billboard 200.

The album has sold just 366,000 units in the U.S. Fortunately, Katharine still has Nick Cokas to go home to every night. We think she'll bounce back.

Meanwhile, Underwood has finally come clean about her relationship with Tony Romo. In the latest issue of Women's Health - which Gossip Girl star and current Carrie boyfriend Chace Crawford may wish to avoid - the singing sensation says:

"He was not my boyfriend and we were never dating. The more I screamed ‘We're not dating!' the more headlines claimed that we were a couple or that I was crying because he was out with another girl. We're really good friends, we hang out a lot, and we're close… well, friends smooch occasionally."

We wonder how Jessica Simpson feels about this.

While Carrie Underwood and Kim Kardashian are wearing the same dress in the photo below, there's at least one difference between the way these celebrities sport the sparkling outfit.

Okay, make that two (supple, large, milk-producing) differences.

We know who Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford would vote for, but you tell us:

Who looks hotter in this dress, Carrie Underwood or Kim Kardashian?

Chace Crawford is crazy about Carrie Underwood.

Apparently, so is the Dallas native's entire family.

"His whole family loves her," a friend of Chace Crawford and Carrie Underwood tells Us Weekly. "They are really perfect for each other."

How close are the adorable Idol / Gossip Girl duo of six months - who started dating in July but didn't go public until October, and are still pretty coy about it?

After the fourth season American Idol winner and Oklahoma native, 24, spent Thanksgiving with the Gossip Girl hottie, 22, at his parents' home in Texas, she joined his relatives on part of her Christmas vacation as well.

"They spent Christmas together and had a wonderful time," a source says. "His parents are fond of her and think she's extremely talented. And they certainly believe Carrie Crawford would be a great addition to the family!"

Carrie Underwood, meanwhile, has no regrets about her July split from Tony Romo, the Dallas Cowboys star who is now dating Jessica Simpson.

"She thanks her lucky stars she isn't with Tony anymore!" added the insider Us source. "She thinks it's a joke he's with Jessica Simpson and sees him as a player. Carrie and Chace call him 'the player' and Jessica 'the ditz.'"

Jessica Simpson and Carrie Underwood have each dated Tony Romo. The beautiful celebrities have shown affection for the star quarterback in very different ways, however:

Jessica sported a lame, pink Dallas Cowboys jersey and posed for the camera at every opportunity; Carrie remained under the cheering radar, scarcely acknowledging the relationship with Romo to newspapers.

As you can see in the photo comparison below, the two singers have opposing ways of supporting the troops, as well:

Dick Clark has nabbed two of the most popular young singers for his Rockin New Year's Eve.

American Idol winner Carrie Underwood and Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus will share in the annual tradition this December 31, as both will perform live from Times Square on the program.

Also scheduled to perform in NYC are The Jonas Brothers (meaning Cyrus will get to share a New Year's kiss with rumored boyfriend Nick Jonas), while Fergie, Akon, Natasha Bedingfield and others will beam in from Hollywood.

Carrie Underwood may have relied on her natural singing talent to win American Idol, but the blonde bombshell has to work hard in order to maintain her figure.

"I'm slightly obsessive-compulsive about what I eat, more than I should be. I write down everything I eat," Underwood says in the latest issue of Glamour. "I started doing it last year. And in the last year is when I've gotten more healthy and lost weight."

She's also gained a pair of men in that time: Tony Romo, with whom Underwood had a brief affair; and now Gossip Girl star, Chace Crawford. It doesn't sound like either ate any meat while on dates with the singer:

"I don't think I could kiss someone after they ate a hamburger 'cause they would probably taste like it, and that would gross me out," she said.

Meanwhile, Carrie will join Keith Urban on a 24-city tour that kicks off in January. She'll be packing her talent - and a whole lot of luggage!

"I have a giant makeup case, more makeup than any girl should have in her lifetime."

Amy Winehouse might wanna borrow some of that.

This piece of celebrity gossip would fit right in on an episode of Gossip Girl. It appears that American Idol winner Carrie Underwood is single again - and the reason is the wandering eye of her most recent boyfriend, Chace Crawford.

Carrie Underwood and Chace Crawford have been spotted together on numerous occasions this fall, and have smiled and gushed about each other in interviews.

But, according to the New York Post, things unraveled because several weeks ago, Crawford was seen making out with some blonde - who wasn't Carrie Underwood.

Carrie Underwood may have to act out some of the scenes her "Before He Cheats" music video if these rumors of Chace Crawford's recent cheating are proven true.

Sources suggest this mystery blonde may have been Katrina Bowden.

Then, last Wednesday night at New York City's Beatrice Inn, Chace and his cute Gossip Girl co-star, Leighton Meester, were seen sucking face - and this didn't involve a scene for their CW series, on which they are boyfriend and girlfriend.

THE HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP NOTE: That would be the same Big Apple locale Heath Ledger allegedly bagged Lindsay Lohan at. That's all we've got.

We'll have more on this story as it develops. All we have to say for now is that we are here if you need us, Carrie. You just need a nice, normal guy who will commit to you... not these Chace Crawford / Tony Romo players. Jerks.

The surly Simon Cowell may not have been personally on hand at L.A.'s Nokia theater Sunday night, but the American Idol judge would have been proud of a pair of his proteges at the 35th Annual American Music Awards.

Straight off her three wins at the Country Music Association Awards earlier this month, Carrie Underwood picked up three more trophies last night.

"This is one heck of a night," she gushed, looking genuinely happy (and not to mention gorgeous) accepting the award for favorite country album.

She also won favorite country female artist and an audience text-in award for favorite artist. And, ever the Southern belle, Carrie Underwood was overheard saying "holy cow" as her name was read for the second time.

Chris Daughtry, another nominated American Idol, joined his eponymous band, Daughtry, at the podium three times as it won favorite pop-rock album for Daughtry, as well as breakthrough artist and adult contemporary artist.

"Wow. I can't believe we're in the category with Justin Timberlake and Linkin Park. It's pretty awesome," Chris Daughtry said.

Carrie Underwood: A big winner once again. 

Some of night's other winners included Akon (soul/R&B male), Rihanna (soul/R&B female), and Justin Timberlake (pop/rock male and soul/R&B album), who accepted his awards via satellite from Australia, where he is on tour.

While host Jimmy Kimmel's dancing and ad-libbing left a lot to be desired, the performance by Chris Brown and his dancers to "Kiss Kiss" - a literal high-wire act with hip-hop versions of Tron-style suits - left many speechless.

Likewise, Beyonce (another winner on the evening) and Sugarland's countrified version of her smash hit "Irreplaceable" had the crowd on its feet.

On a serious and sad note, Usher, Kid Rock and Rihanna took time to send their condolences Kanye West, who is grieving over the loss of his mother, Donda West, whose funeral is set for Tuesday in Oklahoma City.
