TAYLOR SWIFT NAMED ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR BY ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY MAGAZINE
      SWIFT RECLAIMS #1 POSITION ON TOP COUNTRY ALBUM SALES CHART, TOPS 1 MILLION UNIQUE WEBSITE VIEWERS A MONTH
      SWIFT GRACES COVER OF AMERICAN AIRLINES’
      AMERICAN WAY MAGAZINE
NASHVILLE, TN -- December 2, 2010 – Entertainment Weekly magazine announced today that Taylor Swift is their 2010 Entertainer of The Year, and she graces the cover of their December 10th issue, on newsstands today.
EW says, “Taylor Swift takes the top spot on our list. From an Album of the Year Grammy to the megahit Speak Now, our Entertainer of the Year earned a career’s worth of commercial and critical success—in just 12 short months.
“2010 will go down in history as the year we all saw Taylor Swift differently. The 20 year-old kicked things off with a No. 2 single debut (“Today Was a Fairytale”), a hit movie (Valentine’s Day), and four Grammy wins, including Album of the Year for her 2008 CD, Fearless. She spent months headlining arena concerts and big-ticket awards shows. But there was one achievement—the Oct. 25 release of her third record, Speak Now—that topped everything. Buoyed by strong reviews and the radio-friendly hit “Mine,” Speak amassed a jaw-dropping 1,047,000 units in first-week sales, the highest tally for any release in five years. For all that, the confidently sweet woman who was only 2 months old when Entertainment Weeklylaunched in 1990 is now our youngest-ever Entertainer of the Year. Most impressively, Swift single-handedly wrote all 14 songs on Speak Now—which makes sense considering how astonishingly personal each track is.”
Taylor also graces the cover of the December issue of American Airlines’ American Way magazine, on planes now. See both covers here:
With over 240,000 units sold this week, Taylor’s Speak Now album has reclaimed the #1 position atop SoundScan’s Top Country Albums chart, and holds down the #4 slot on the all-genre Top 200 Albums chart. Released just 5 weeks ago on Big Machine Records, the album has sold over 1.96 million copies to date. The album’s current single, “Back To December,” is currently climbing both the Country and Pop radio charts.
Taylor also hit an impressive milestone in the digital world last month, when over 1 million unique visitors visited www.taylorswift.com in the month of November. Taylor currently has over 4.7 million Twitter followers and over 14 million Facebook friends.
This week, E! Entertainment premiered the one-hour “E! Entertainment Special: Taylor Swift.” The program airs throughout the month of December and into the New Year. Dates and times include: Dec. 2 at 6:00 p.m. ET/PT, Dec. 3 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT, Dec. 4 at 1:00 p.m. ET/PT, Dec. 5 at 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. ET/PT, Dec. 7 at 8:00 p.m., Dec. 8 at 5:00 p.m. ET/PT, and Dec. 9 at 11 a.m. ET/PT.
Taylor is currently slated to play 87 shows in 19 countries spanning four continents on the TAYLOR SWIFT SPEAK NOW WORLD TOUR 2011, which kicks off February 9th in Singapore.

No core country artist has crossed over more titles to AC. Rogers has scored eight AC No. 1s. Rogers: "I remember when [the AC charts] were established, I thought it was so cool. I've always been a believer in the strength of the song. My problem is I'm a country singer who's had a lot of other musical influences, so my stuff is going to tend to be more AC. That's always been my slam in country music, that I was never a true country artist, even though &q

They call her..The Bare Naked Bandit..29 yr Old Lee Grace Doherty

ARRESTED now in Colorado...but what a story and week for 2 brothers and their stripper sister! Text messages and tweets by three fugitive siblings who shot at a police officer and robbed a bank reveal a dangerous mindset and a firm bond between the siblings, "We've certainly seen their mindset when... They shot at a law enforcement officer outside of Tampa Bay, Fla., and when they fired inside that bank in Valdosta, Ga. But these additional texts and tweets have given us additional insight," FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett told "Good Morning America" today. " We are concerned and feel that they are going to continue and cause problems to say the least for law enforcement." Ryan Dougherty, 21; his sister Lee Grace E. Dougherty, 29; and half-brother Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, have been on the lam since Aug. 2 when they shot at a police officer attempting to pull their white Subaru Impreza over for speeding.
