Taylor Swift Ready for Solo Habitation & World Domination

At just 19 years old, Taylor Swift has already sold out arenas in record-time, won countless awards, scored two multi-platinum selling albums, guest-starred on a hit TV show and raked in millions of dollars in the process. Yet there is one goal Taylor has yet to attain.

"I'd like to move out of my parent's house!" she tells Glamour magazine.

But Taylor doesn't spend much time at anyone's house these days. Currently headlining her own 'Fearless' tour, the country sensation doesn't plan on resting when the tour ends in November.

Zac Brown on Stars, Guitars and Mason Jars

Not many bands can make the leap from playing the hippie-centric Bonnaroo music festival one day to the CMA Music Festival the next. But for Zac Brown and company, such journeys are par for the course. As at home sharing a stage with Keith Urban as they are with ZZ Top, the Zac Brown Band has been in some good company this year. They've also staked their claim at country-music stardom, with two Top 10 hits, 'Whatever It Is' and 'Chicken Fried,' the latter also earning the group a CMT Music Award for Breakthrough Video of the Year.

But it isn't all about hit records and award-winning videos for 30-year-old Zac Brown.

"I'm obsessed with cooking, knives and guitars," he recently told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Aaron Tippin Supplements His Career

Country star and former bodybuilder Aaron Tippin is dipping his feet into a new business venture that has nothing to do with music and everything to do with something else he takes very seriously -- fitness. Aaron is launching his own nutritional supplements, called Aaron Tippin Nutrition (ATN). The 51-year-old star says he's excited to bring his own brand of health care products to his fans.

Aaron had a lucrative career as a bodybuilder over twenty years ago, before switching to country music. Thus, it's an easy transition for him to put the focus back on fitness.

Ray Price Recovering From Surgery

Ray Price has stopped cancer in its tracks. The country legend is resting at his home in Texas, recuperating from surgery to remove polyps from his colon. Price had the surgery last week, after a colonoscopy revealed numerous polyps in the pre-cancerous stage. The surgery was said to be successful, and the 83-year-old entertainer expects to resume his touring schedule in a few weeks.

The iconic singer of songs like 'Crazy Arms,' 'Heartaches By the Number' and 'City Lights,' Price made a name for himself in Nashville in the early '50s when he took over Hank Williams' band, the Drifting Cowboys, after Williams' death. He then formed his own band, the Cherokee Cowboys, with friends Willie Nelson, Roger Miller, Johnny Paycheck, Johnny Bush and Darrell McCall.

Alan Jackson Puts Mansion on the Market

Want to live like Alan Jackson? You can, for a mere 38 million dollars!

Alan and his wife Denise are putting their Franklin, Tenn. home on the market. The country superstar admits that the 17,000 square foot house is pretty big for two people.

"We love it here, and there are a lot of memories because the girls have grown up at this house," he says. "But we like living in Florida, and we probably will do that when the girls are not living with us anymore, so it makes sense to sell it if we're not gonna live in Nashville that much anymore."

Terri Clark Takes 'The Long Way Home'

For Terri Clark, the journey to her latest CD has been a difficult and unusual one -- to say the least. While recording an album for BNA Records in 2007, Terri learned that her mother Linda had been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, which had invaded her pancreas and was at first thought to be inoperable.

While trying to stay focused on her recording career, Terri began to realize she needed to do things a little differently. So she took the unheard-of step of asking to be released from her recording contract in order to make an independent album that was, in her words, "more personal, more country, more raw."

Dolly Parton Goes Platinum, Readies Live DVD

Dolly Parton is a platinum blonde in the UK. The iconic entertainer's CD 'The Very Best of Dolly Parton' has sold more 300,000 copies, earning her a platinum disc. (In the US, a platinum record is awarded for sales in excess of one million copies. It's just 300,000 for the same certification across the pond.)

Dolly's hugely successful 2008 UK tour will be documented in an upcoming DVD release. 'Dolly Live in London' is set to hit stores in November and will spotlight many of her most recognizable hits, including 'Jolene' and 'Coat of Many Colors,' accompanied, naturally, by Dolly's unmistakable wit and homespun wisdom.
