SOOOOOOOOO Much Idol news!!!

There's quite a bit going in the world of our Miss American Idol favorites:

We already know that Kelly Clarkson, Jordin Sparks and Paula Abdul will be performing at this year's VH1 DIVAS Concert, but there has been a new exciting addition. Turns out that Season Three finalist and Oscar winner, Jennifer Hudson will now be joining them. Looks like when VH1 can't get Legendary Divas like Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross or Mariah Carey for the concert the next best thing is our fantastic Miss American Idols. :)

The only addition left that would elevate the VH1 DIVAS Concert to an even higher stratosphere would the Supreme Miss American Idol, Season Four winner Carrie Underwood. Even if that doesn't happen, Carrie is keeping herself quite busy finishing up her tour and gearing up for the release of her third album, Play On, on November 3, 2009. The first single from the new album, Cowboy Casanova, was sent to radio this week and it is already blowing up big. She collects the highest debut by a female artist this year on Billboard Country Songs chart, as "Cowboy Casanova" ropes a debut at #26. It's a very fun up tempo toe tapper that is sure to keep her millions of fans happy.

The nominations for the CMA Awards were announced today and Carrie is once again in the running for the Female Vocalist of the Year honor. She has already received this award in 2006, 2007 and 2008 so this could become her fourth win in a row. Carrie is also nominated along with Randy Travis for the Vocal Event of the Year honor for their performance of I Told You So. The winners of the CMA's will be announced on November 11, 2009 with Brad Paisley will hosting the show along with Carrie Underwood.

The only unfortunate omission from the CMA nominations is that Season Five finalist Kellie Pickler was completely shut out even though her smash hit Best Days of Your Life is one of the best songs of the year.
