Miley Cyrus and her crew are mourning the loss of one of their own today. The driver of one of the teen pop and county singer's tour buses was killed this morning in an accident outside of Richmond, Va., when the bus ran off the road and overturned. Miley was not aboard the bus when it crashed.

"It was one of our tour buses, but not Miley's," Miley's manager tells TMZ. "It was one of our buses that transported our lighting crew."

The vehicle was part of a four-bus caravan, and had 14 passengers on board. Nine other people suffered minor injuries.

The neon lights of Sin City will soon burn brighter, thanks to a series of country music concerts scheduled in Las Vegas at the beginning of December.

Kicking off the shows, Randy Travis will perform at the Monte Carlo stage on Dec. 6. He'll be followed three days later by Trace Adkins, who is taking time out from his Shine All Night tour with Martina McBride to play at the Pearl.

And finally, on Dec. 11, Garth Brooks will debut his long-running show at the Encore at Wynn Las Vegas.

Sugarland might want to add their recent trophy for Vocal Duo of the Year to their list of favorite things. The duo, in Chicago for an upcoming Oprah show, recently revealed who and what they are currently loving.

Getting into the holiday spirit with the release of their Christmas album, 'Gold and Green,' Jennifer Nettles knew immediately what song had to be included. "My favorite holiday song is on this record, and it's called 'O Come O Come Emmanuel,' she tells Michigan-based radio station B93. "That's a beautiful song of just longing and wishing and hoping and then just the celebration and the chorus."

Tim McGraw joins the ranks of some of entertainment's hottest celebrities from TV, film and music in the upcoming PEOPLE issue, 'Sexiest Men Alive.'

Tim, who called the honor "pretty cool," according to ACC Top 40, admits he does have mixed emotions about the title. "I like it, I have to say. Except, I have to explain it all to my friends who are sitting back there," he says, referring to his band, the Dancehall Doctors. "They're not gonna let me live it down."

One other person who might not let him live it down is his wife, Faith Hill, who has appeared in 'PEOPLE's Most Beautiful' issue multiple times. "She'll pull that out on me when it's to her convenience," he reveals.

Tammy Cochran, who recently released '30 Something and Single,' is speaking out, but about a lot more than just her music. The powerhouse vocalist, who may have appeared to retreat from the spotlight after churning out six chart-topping singles between 2000 and 2002, was actually dealing with a very personal battle. One that, by her own admission, tested her strength in every way.

"I started adopting a child back in 2005 and ran into some difficulties pretty quickly with that adoption," she tells The 9513. "My facilitator got arrested for some illegal activities that she participated in. It kind of put all of our adoptions in jeopardy -- with everyone that was working with her on adoptions at the time."

Jennette McCurdy might be best known by pre-teens as Sam Puckett on Nickelodeon's hit TV show, 'iCarly,' but the teenager hopes to expand her fan base to include adults -- not through her acting but through her music.

Working on her first country album, the 17-year-old says the switch from actress to singer is easy. "I've been a country music fan my whole life," Jennette tells Nashville's Tennessean. "My grandma and my mom raised me on country music."

Spending the last several months in Music City to work on the album, the typical teen admits she has a bit of a distraction. "Right now, I'm in love with Keith Urban," she says of the married singer who is signed to Capitol, the label she's recording for, as well. "It's pretty sad. There's no way I should be thinking this much about him. I have to stop it." Keith isn't her only crush, however. "I love Rascal Flatts," she gushes. "They are the nicest guys."

Gretchen Wilson may take pride in her redneck image, but she'd also like to be known as an advocate for environmentally-friendly, health-conscious issues. The singer, who has already raised more than one million dollars for various environmental causes, spoke out at this year's Farm Aid about what makes her so passionate.

"A couple of years ago I got involved in a campaign to help fight obesity in this country," she tells Mother Nature Network, "and that's when I really started to learn more about foods and the bad habits we set up for ourselves, and that we're teaching our children in this country."
