For the past year, attorneys have been preparing to battle over who is responsible for a stage rigging error that caused a stage to collapse at the Indiana State Fair in August, killing seven people and injuring dozens before a Sugarland concert.

Last weekend, steel cables that were part of the stage rigging system were stolen from the warehouse where they were being stored with other wreckage from the collapse.

Carrie Underwood Tires of Hearing Herself Sing
Just because the rest of us have been wearing out Carrie Underwood‘s ‘Blown Away’ album all summer doesn’t mean that the country star likes to listen to her own music.

Unfortunately, the ’100 Proof’ hitmaker dished to People Pets recently that she’s going to have to reign in her desire to pick up every adorable stray furball she finds, because her husband, songwriter Kyle Jacobs, has finally put his foot down.

Taylor Swift Goes Brunette for CoverGirl
Taylor Swift isn’t the kind of girl who gets stuck in a beauty rut. Just when we get used to a signature Swift hairstyle or makeup routine, she’s bound to change it up on us. Last year, she threw country music fans a curveball by cutting straight bangs into her previously always-curly blonde hair. Now, she’s dropped a real bomb, dying her hair brown — or at least a much darker shade of blonde — for her recent CoverGirl shoot.

Today, we learned that the clip will be more like a mini-movie than a music video.
