Kellie Pickler

Less than two months after suffering serious injuries in a terrible car accident, Gregg Lohman -- drummer for country's Kellie Pickler -- surprised the star with a triumphant return to the stage at a concert in Illinois on Friday (April 26).

Country music's two dancing women did more than enough during Monday's (March 18) 'Dancing With the Stars' season premiere to earn another week in the competition. Both Kellie Pickler and Wynonna Judd danced the Cha Cha Cha, with Pickler giving judge Bruno Tonioli reason to leave his seat and shake shake his hips.

'Best Days of My Life' singer Kellie Pickler isn't sure if her 'Dancing With the Stars' debut will actually turn out to be one of the highlights in her life, as she's a little nervous about dashing everyone's high hopes for her to become the show's next big star.

Season 16 -- yes, 16 -- of 'Dancing With the Stars' kicks off on March 18 at 8PM ET on ABC, and to ramp up excitement, promo photos of the competitors have been released. Of course, Kellie Pickler and Wynnona Judd are representing the country genre this season and both dazzle in entirely different ways in their pictures.

Last summer, Kellie Pickler shaved off her blonde hair to support her friend Summer Miller, who was preparing to undergo treatment for breast cancer at the time. The singer and 'Dancing With the Stars' contestant has offered an update on Miller's condition, and the news is good.

It's official. Rumors of a very country cast on 'Dancing With the Stars' have been confirmed, as both Kellie Pickler and Wynonna Judd have signed on for the 16th season of the super popular reality program. Two country stars from different eras will be going toe to toe on the show.

Country girl Kellie Pickler spends so much of her life working on behalf of others, we wonder how she finds time to record her albums and perform concerts for a living. The good-hearted singer is apt to turn up at food banks, and her soft spot for animals is well-known. She's also active in the fight against breast cancer, even shaving her head recently to support a close friend struggling with the disease. So it should come as no surprise that the '100 Proof' singer is spending part of her Christmas season in Afghanistan, where she is helping to spread holiday cheer to our men and women in uniform.

Rolling Stone has announced their pick of the five best country albums of 2012, and the list leans traditional. New projects by Kellie Pickler, Jamey Johnson and Texas country band JB and the Moonshine Band made the cut, which was revealed on the magazine's website on Friday (Dec. 7).

Taste of Country Nights host Jeremy Robinson and Producer Todd arrived at the Texas State Fair excited to see two things: Big Tex and Kellie Pickler. Unfortunately, they received some terrible news from two fairgoers upon arriving.

Kellie Pickler has shaved her head.

Kellie Pickler‘s talents aren’t just limited to onstage performances — the down-home country girl is a whiz in the kitchen, too! On Thursday (August 16), the country star will prove that she can cook when she guest stars on ABC’s ‘The Chew.’

Perhaps as much as any country artist, Kellie Pickler shares the details of her oft-tortured personal life with her fans and critics. On previous albums, she sang about her mother (‘I Wonder’) and an ex-boyfriend (‘Best Days of Your Life’). Unlike, say Taylor Swift, Pickler isn’t afraid to name names, but for the most part that’s because the “names” are related to her.
