NBC has tapped an eclectic group of musicians to star in a new reality-competition show, 'Clash of the Choirs.' Patti LaBelle, Nick Lachey, Blake Shelton, Kelly Rowland and Michael Bolton will try to create "America's greatest choir" on the live show, each of them picking 20 singers from their respective hometowns to join their team. LaBelle will return to her hometown of Philadelphia for auditions; Lachey will be going home to Cincinatti; Shelton will return to Oklahoma City; Rowland will audition in her native Houston; and Bolton will be going back to his hometown of New Haven, CT.

Cameras will follow the artists from the hometown auditions through the choir competition in New York. Viewers will be able to call in to vote for their favorite choir, and the winners will get to choose a prize that will benefit their city -- anything from renovating a school gym to building a community playground. 'Clash of the Choirs' is set to air live over four nights, December 17-20.

Jessica Simpson's been spotted in Nashville quite a bit lately. The pop starlet is in Music City to explore the notion of recording a country album. According to Nashville ABC affiliate WKRN, Simpson is in talks with some of country music's heaviest hitters to collaborate on her new project, including John Rich (Big & Rich), Vince Gill and Simpson's co-star in 'The Dukes of Hazzard' movie, Willie Nelson. The singer's also reportedly met with executives at CMT (Country Music Television) and Nashville's Sony/BMG record label.

Other news outlets are reporting that Simpson actually moved to Nashville, though she was also recently seen apartment-hunting in New York. Simpson has said that she is making the move to the Big Apple to be closer to her record label. She also has an upcoming gig in New York, co-hosting 'The View' on November 15 and 16.

Song: 'Ready, Set, Don't Go'
Why You Should Listen: Hear the song that the adorable father-daughter duo sang on Tuesday's 'Dancing With the Stars.'

Sugarland is by no means a crossover act, but that's not stopping the country duo from tackling Beyonce. Opening last night for Kenny Chesney at New York's Madison Square Garden, lead singer Jennifer Nettles told the sold-out crowd that they like to 'countrify' the R&B diva. They then broke into Beyonce's 'Irreplaceable,' with steel guitar, fiddle and a whole lot of twang.

'Irreplaceable' has been on Sugarland's setlist for most of the Chesney tour. The video below is a compilation of performances of the song from various cities. And we may soon see video of the duo actually performing with Beyonce. Nashville's Tennessean newspaper reports that Sugarland and Beyonce are planning on a duet at either the upcoming American Music Awards, Country Music Awards or Grammy Awards.

'American Idol' phenom Carrie Underwood will release the as-yet-untitled follow-up to her 2005 debut, 'Some Hearts,' on Oct. 23.

While 'Some Hearts' has sold more than five million copies, thanks in part to hit songs like 'Jesus Take the Wheel,' and 'Before He Cheats,' the 24-year-old singer remains modest despite her newfound celebrity.

"I still don't consider myself a 'celebrity' at all," she told PopEater during her Sessions performance. "A lot of times I forget, and I'll be walking to the mall or at Wal-Mart or something, and someone will come up to me and be like, 'Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!' But I think it's important for me to try as much as possible to do the things I would normally do."

Underwood is currently on tour and will be performing at this year's Fashion Rocks event, airing on Sept. 7 at 9pm ET on CBS.
