Carrie Underwood is really not enough of a celebrity to warrant this much cyberspace, but this was too rich to pass up.
She said yesterday that she declined to endorse anyone for president because it’s crass to try to convince people about how they should act or feel about political and social issues. From an interview in TV Guide:
“There is someone I do support, but I don’t support publicly. I lose all respect for celebrities when they back a candidate.”
“It’s saying that the American public isn’t smart enough to make their own decisions,” she explains. “I would never want anybody to vote for anything or anybody just because I told them to. Music is where you go to get away from all the BS. Whether it’s from politics or just the world around you, music should be an escape.”
Now I’m willing to bet that most of you agree with her opinion that celebrities should STFU, but it’s a hee-larious belief coming from someone who embraced being elected PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian in 2005 and again in 2007. Carrie also took it upon herself to teach fellow American Idol alum Kellie Pickler the tenets of vegetarianism (as if it’s a complicated process) and there was some business with backing out of performing at a rodeo.
Just saying, proselytizing for PETA is really no better than stumping for a candidate à la everyone else in Hollywood.

I don’t really care what comes out of her mouth. What I do care about are f-ing leg warmers. That tells me all that I need to know about this bitch.
Seriously? Vegetarianism, blah blah blah, but what’s the deal with her fashion? Queen Bee - if you are concerned with those legwarmers, you will be VERY concerned about this:

I mean, doesn’t she have stylists? There’s got to be something better out there than white halter-top jumpsuits and legwarmer/sparkly booty shorts combinations.
….I’m sorry, was Ms. Underwood speaking words just now? I didn’t notice…
This babble comes from someone whose entire career was started on a show that requires people to publicly endorse the candidate/contestant. As I said earlier, this vegetarian is full of horse manure!
On principle she is correct, but didn’t she win a show where you try to persuade people to vote for you?? Hmmm…
I’m torn. Camel toe is bad. Hell, everything about that outfit is bad. I think she has done worse, many, many, many times. There’s something amazingly sad about leg warmers. We wore crazy shit in the 1980s, like leg warmers, so the kids of today don’t have to. We took a style bullet for these kids and this is how they repay us?
As someone who regularly flipped up his collar and pegged his jeans, I have to agree with Queen Bee! By dressing that way now, she (and that psycho Lohan) are belittling the sacrifice those of us who were young in the 80’s made for fashion everywhere. The tight jeans, the polo shirts, the giant sunglasses… the horror.
Thank God the 90’s came around, and we were saved by parachute pants.
Amen to that, Queen Bee.
Queen Bee: Don’t forget that we also adored hair-bands who helped to destroy the ozone layer with all the Aquanet hairspray they used.
Global warming is caused by big-haired glam bands. Yeah, I mean you White Snake and Poison.
My friend Greg had parachute pants. He’s dead now. I wonder if there’s a connection? It’s my goal in life to rid the world of the glam bands that are left. I’m gonna start with “Cinderella”. I’ll catch ‘em next time they play that little 12 stool bar down the street from my house.
Worst shorts ever!
You know, I was so distracted by the stirrup leg warmers that I completely glazed over the truly awful shorts. My god, she is a mess. Hire a stylist, Carrie.
She’s got good legs but, those shorts are just disgusting. Sack her stylist….
What’s with this woman and her constant bitching all of a sudden?
Is it that she realizes how bland her music and her style is that she suddenly needs to be on a soapbox for attention?
Is she trying to break free of her image during her Idol days by becoming a “badass who doesn’t care wut ppl think!!!1!!!”?
It seems that way.
I know she thinks that she has balls because she can pick fights with simple targets such as Jessica Simpson and pretty much all of her bubblegum music bretheren for that matter, but to me, her newly found negativity and preaching seems awfully forced.
I agree with Queen Bee. We 80’s children should not have worn those jelly shoes, leg warmers,friendship bracelets, and all that acid wash if these ingrate whipper snappers were going to make it all for naught.
Carrie Underwood just needs to shut up and have a steak. The lack of protein is obviously making her do things to damage her credibility more than her crap music ever could.
the only reason she’s ticked is because she supports mccain. she knows nobody will like her anymore (does anyone, anyway??) if she comes out as a mccain supporter. get over it hillbilly! hollywood is liberal and always will be!
And, what’s with the red-soled, hooker-stilettos? Aren’t they made of leather?
I can’t imagine Christian Laboutin makes shoes out of pleather. The red soles are his trademark, aren’t they?
And the shorts are heinous. It looks like she’s stuffed a sausage (tofu, of course) in there.
Flirt: I went to the Saks Fifth Avenue site and Saks describes the Laboutin shoes as having the “Signature red leather sole”. Apparently, Carrie is a PETA-maverick for wearing leather-soled shoes.
Now, now, I’m sure those Louboutins were a gift. That makes it okay!
Bwahahahaha….maverick.
Can you even give an opinion to other people about how celebrities shouldn’t share their opinions? How can you give an interview on the merits of STFU without the Deceiver folks getting a call on the red phone of hypocrisy over in the Pink Hypocrite-cave? I mean, man, that’s deluded.
You guys do have a cave, right?
I don’t know if this has been mentioned, but I’d hit it for sure!
Am I supposed to know who this little twit is?
