Martina McBride fans, get ready to party! The country star has revealed that she's in the early stages of a book that will share her tips on entertaining, but it's not a book about her career in music. Instead, the star will dish out advice on planning dinner parties.

Martina McBride's hit song 'I'm Gonna Love You Through It' joins 'Independence Day' and 'Concrete Angel' as songs from her catalog that carry great social importance on the breath of her soaring melody. McBride -- who's teaming up with General Mills to raise money and awareness for breast cancer this fall -- embraces the added responsibility, but says she only picks songs that meet her high expect

Surprise! We're releasing your greatest hits -- thought you might like to know! That's what a startled Martina McBride found out on Monday. But here's the twist: Instead of learning about the forthcoming release from RCA Records, her former label home of nearly 20 years, McBride read about the upcoming collection online.

By 1997, Martina McBride was beginning to assert herself as the premiere female vocalist in country music, but she wouldn’t begin to take home awards until after she released ‘Evolution’ on August 26 of that year. Songs from her fourth studio album won her the Female Vocalist of the Year CMA in 1999. Many of her biggest hits, like ‘Happy Girl,’ ‘A Broken Wing’ and ‘Whatever You Say,’ come from thi

Martina McBride is without a doubt one of the busiest women in country music. In addition to her successful touring and road career, the singer may be Nashville’s most well-known mother. This summer, she took the whole family to Los Angeles for six weeks so daughter Emma could pursue an acting career.

Martina McBride wanted to be a country star practically from the time she was born. After decades of singing success, McBride can look back and recognize how the support of her parents helped her to get where she is today. Now, as a mother of three, it’s the ‘I’m Gonna Love You Through It’ hitmaker’s turn to support her daughter’s dreams.

It seems like these days, everyone is jumping on the country music bandwagon — even television shows! Country music was already well-represented on the small screen with Blake Shelton on ‘The Voice‘ and Sugarland‘s Jennifer Nettles on ‘Duets.’ And now, E!’s new show ‘Opening Act’ has added Martina McBride to the list of country stars making waves on television.

There are big tours and then there are BIG tours. This should prove to be one of the biggest tours in country music history. Of course I'm talking about George Strait and Martina McBride's 2012 tour together. I do, however, see something in the schedule that I find a little strange. Take a look at the schedule and see if you know what I'm talking about.

Think about it... you hardly ever see an overweight country star. I suppose one or two of them appear to be a little "plump"... but for the most part, they look pretty fit. The thing is, they either have to actually watch what they eat, or be able to hide it well.

In an earlier blog I made reference to George Strait and his phenomenal achievements in the field of country music. It just so happens that I ran across a little story about Martina McBride touring with George this year.

Yesterday I was talking about "what happened to" artists, specifically Big and Rich. There's one country artist that you won't have to ask that question about for many years to come.

It’s been over two years since Martina McBride has delivered a full-length album of new material — and the wait just got a little longer for her fans. McBride’s upcoming release, which will be her eleventh studio set, was scheduled for August, but Universal Republic has pushed it back a few weeks — to October 18, to be exact. She addressed the change in a recent blog post, calling it “a decision t
