Carrie Underwood is too busy to have children.
The country singer - who recently wed hockey player Mike Comrie - and her new husband are planning to have children together, but the sportsman admits it won't be for a long time.
He said: "We obviously want kids, but that's down the road.
"Now is not the time, especially with our busy schedules, everything we've got going on. We don't know exactly when, but definitely we will."
Mike also described married life as "awesome", admitting he couldn't be happier.
When asked how life as a newlywed is going, he replied: "It's awesome. I'm with my best friend and I love her to death. There's nothing better, for sure."
Speaking about their wedding day, the 30-year-old sportstar said it passed in a "blur" but he and the 27-year-old singer were thrilled with their big day - which took place in Georgia in front of 230 guests - though they wish more people could have been there.
He added in an interview with the Toronto Sun newspaper: "The whole weekend is almost like a blur.
"The ceremony was really nice, the pastor did a great job, the reception was a lot of fun. Just to have everyone close to us around was a big deal. A wedding's not nearly as much fun without those close family and friends with you.
"We tried to get as many people as we could. The thing was, we didn't want it to be too huge and not be able to see everyone, either.
"The whole day was great. It was everything we both wanted it to be."
Billy Currington has teased a little about what his upcoming album will be like, and it won't be your average country record. As Billy shares, he put a little of everything on the new project:
"I wanted to record songs that weren't all the same - like all country songs or all this or all that. So I just mixed it up. You'll hear some soulful stuff on there and you'll hear some back porch country on there, and maybe one that's kinda rock, you know, rocked up a little bit. Just, I don't know... whatever was good I thought I'd record at the time."
Billy also admits that he would love to add a duet on the album, but he's not sure who he'd like to sing it. He says he's been "thinking outside the box" for a partner. Currington's new CD is slated for release this fall.
Randy Houser's USO tour overseas in Iraq earlier this year was worth every second for him. Randy shares with Guideposts magazine about his first show at the base there, "From the minute I walked onstage that afternoon, the soldiers were on their feet, cheering, singing along at the top of their lungs." He adds, "They never once sat down. I've done hundreds of concerts, in packed arenas. But this was like nothing I'd ever experienced. Their energy practically lifted me off the stage. Looking into the smiling faces of these soldiers - some of them only teenagers - I felt pure joy surge through me. It reminded me of when I was first starting out, just me and my guitar, the sheer wonder of playing in front of a few appreciative people."
Houser got to perform a new song, "Here With Me," for the troops while he was there. So how did the audience respond? Houser reveals, "A few words into the first verse, a hush fell over the crowd. You could have heard a pin drop when I got to the chorus, 'And you'd be there on a cold night in Georgia. And you'd be there when it's raining in Tennessee.' Cheers rang out as I sang the name of each state, like amens punctuating a church revival. I could see some of the soldiers choking up. I finished to thunderous applause... It dawned on me that the song wasn't about me, that it was, in fact, a gift for these servicemen and women. I played it in every concert after that, always with the same incredible reaction." Despite the great crowd response, Randy still re-wrote the lyrics to the second verse when he returned to the U.S. He shares, "I was almost done when I realized there was still something that needed to be sung. This time I knew just the words: 'But I know God can hear me way up there, sending up an old familiar prayer.'" You can hear the new tune on Houser's forthcoming album, They Call Me Cadillac, which comes out on September 14. Randy adds about the CD, "You'll see my name listed as the songwriter, but the real credit goes to the One who hears the prayers of our men and women in uniform and gave me the words to thank them."
Josh Turner is going to be a daddy for the third time! After already seeing his wife, Jennifer, endure two pregnancies, he encouraged her recently to take a pregnancy test when she was acting a little unusual. Josh reveals to People magazine, "She did and it was negative, but I refused to believe it. So when she took another and told me she's pregnant, all I could say was, 'I told you!' and she was floored." Although baby #3 will arrive early next year, the Turners - Jennifer being his keyboardist and a backup vocalist in his band – are not planning on altering their frequent lives on the road any time soon. He does mention, though, that "we have talked about getting a bigger bus." Turner adds, "We get to see the whole world together and the boys are learning so much more than they would if they were just hanging around the house all day." Their two sons are three-and-a-half year-old Hampton and Colby, who is one. For Josh, continuing to add to his clan just runs in the family. He reveals, "I come from big families – my momma was the oldest of three and my daddy was one of six – and I've always loved children. They bring a lot of joy to the world and they make us adults look at things in a better way. So it's a natural thing for me and Jennifer."
Trace Adkins is happy to be back on the road with buddy Toby Keith on his "American Ride" tour. Trace tells AOL's The Boot, "That first weekend was a little chaotic because Toby and his crew were having to work with all totally brand new gear because they lost everything in the flood. I felt bad for them. It kind of made things a little frantic, but we pulled it off." Adkins says he learned how to handle all the unexpected problems that come along with major tours. Trace says he has picked up a lot of tips along the way from acts he has toured with, ranging all the way back to 1996 when he first hit the music scene.
Wynonna Judd, her teenage daughter and her tour manager were hospitalized in Salt Lake City after being involved in a traffic accident last Wednesday night. Wynonna told Lake Tahoe Action on Thursday, "It's a miracle that I'm alive. I was in a major head-on collision yesterday and they didn't want to let me out of the hospital, and I said 'Listen, I've got to go do a show.' And the guys were like, 'If anybody can, Wynonna, it's you. You've shown us that you have quite the spunk.' I said, 'Listen, I've spent 10 years on a bus with my mother. If I can do that I can do anything.'"
While the trio spent several hours in the hospital, Judd would not give details of the injuries. She said, "I can't go into that. What I can tell you it was pretty dramatic but I'm OK. ... I know everybody wants to know details. I'm sure I'll talk about it on a talk show somewhere down the road. I'm just telling stories that one day you're on top of the world and the next day you're in the emergency room with a CAT scan and you think, 'Gosh, life is pretty precious and it's pretty fragile sometimes and it's a miracle that I survived this crash.' I'm not in grave danger or anything. It was pretty dramatic but I made it through. I'm really sore today but I'm really grateful to be alive and tonight's show will be spectacular because I'll be in a mood somewhere between being absolutely overjoyed that I'm OK and my daughter's OK to just kicking the enemy's butt and saying 'Yep, you didn't win today, buddy.'" Wynonna's accident occurred the day after a concert in Salt Lake City. She was on her way to a sushi restaurant.
