Eight Minutes With Kellie Pickler

That's all the time she had, but I wasn't going to let that stop me from asking Kellie Pickler every single question I had about her appearance this Sunday (Nov. 8) on ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. And then some. Luckily, I talk fast and she talks even faster. She called me from Nashville, and we jammed as many Qs and as we could into our allotted time.

Kellie will show fans her spooky side as the featured guest on tomorrow’s Halloween episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.  On returning to the long-running talk show, Kellie said “Ellen is one of my favorite people, and Halloween is my favorite holiday, so to be able to share it with her will make it extra special this year!”  And Ellen is equally excited to have Kellie on the show, as she posted on her website today, “She has such a fun personality, I could just let her talk the entire time. Sometimes I don't really have a choice -- she just keeps going!”

This week also finds Kellie named as Country Weekly's Most Beautiful Woman for the second year in a row in the November 2 issue of the magazine, on newsstands now.

Fans can also tune in to see Kellie lend a hand to build a new home for the Terpenning family on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which airs November 8 on ABC.   As the celebrity volunteer, the country starlet trades in her stiletto heels for a hard hat and hammer as she helps with the demolition and building process, as well as performs at the family’s final and emotional reveal.

Kellie’s newest heart-wrenching single, “Didn’t You Know How Much I Loved You,” from her self-titled sophomore album is currently climbing up the country charts.
