Taylor said in her acceptance speech for Female Vocalist of the Year, “I just hugged Kris Kristofferson! I want to thank country radio, for taking a chance on my music a few short years ago.

Please remember, remember December
Check out Demi Lovato’s new music video “Remember December!”
The 17-year-old People’s Choice nominee has been tweeted sneak peeks the entire week and we’re loving the end product!
“The music video relates to the song in a way that a girl has so much to say to the guy, and it feels like he’s not listening, and she wants him to remember everything that they had,” the 17-year-old singer told MTV. “And so instead of having a love interest in this video, it’s all about being fierce and kind of, like, taking control as a girl. It’s like girl empowerment. Yeah, divas!”
Demi enlisted her gal pals Meaghan Martin, Chloe Bridges and Anna Maria Perez de Tagle for the video and they’re rocking the 80s vibe.
WHAT DO YOU THINK of Demi’s new video?

One Book A Day!


Could you imagine reading one book a day? Seems hard but one woman, Nina Sankovitch, managed to do it.
On the 29th of October she reached her goal of basically one year of reading. She had decided a year ago to read one book a day and then write a small critique on it on her blog. She has read everywhere, in the mountains, on the beach, standing, sitting, in bed….she gave up going out with friends and also gave up on her hobbies, like surfing the net and cooking exotic foods.
But she did it in the end, and read a book everyday. Of course, she read short books with 250 to 300 pages, so that her goal was realistic.
Nina, who is 46, doesn’t want to break a record or anything, just spread the word on how important it is to read. Sadly, everyday we have less time to read. Nina wanted to remind us that if you really love reading, then you will find the time to do it wherever you can.
