Jewel has carved out a name for herself in both the pop and country worlds, as well as in the TV realm (she's the host of Bravo's Platinum Hit). But the down-to-earth star may just be planning to hang all that up and go by her newest name-to-be: Mama.

The singer, who is expecting a son with husband/rodeo pro Ty Murray very soon (any week now!) tells Fit Pregnancy that she isn't sure if she'll return to her career after having her baby. "I've put everything else on hold," she notes. "I don't know whether I will want to work afterward or not."

Jewel--who will appear on the cover of the magazine's August/September issue--stresses that whatever decision she makes will be fine. "I just want to give myself time to adjust," she explains.

Jewel's actually been pretty busy through most of her pregnancy--she discovered she was pregnant right as she started work on Platinum Hit. And, she wrote an entire album of children's music during her second trimester. Additionally, she took on the task of

LeAnn Rimes is clearly concerned about what others think of her health--specifically, her weight. After addressing concerns about her thin physique several times via Twitter, telling various outlets that she does not have an eating disorder, and even starting a blog on her official site discussing the matter--she is now going yet a step further. The singer is planning to offer up a video detailing her specific fitness training, so fans can see exactly what she does to maintain her figure.

The video will be made in conjunction with her personal trainer, Michael Jackson, who said in an interview with a Fox News entertainment blog that the superstar's weight is not an issue, and that she is committed to a healthy lifestyle.

"I know it really bothers her," Jackson told Fox. "A lot of people see pictures of LeAnn and assume certain things."

However, "she's really focused," he adds. "I think that's what a lot of people don't see--all the hard work and dedication that she's put in."

Okay, so all the big anticipated country weddings for 2011 have taken place--Kellie Pickler, Shania Twain, LeAnn Rimes, and Miranda Lambert are all good and hitched now.

So, are you ready for the next wave of beautiful country brides-to-be? Here's one to get the ball rolling: Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott just got engaged over the 4th of July weekend!

Scott's boyfriend, drummer Chris Tyrell, popped the question at sunset overlooking an East Tennessee lake. According to Scott, it was the proposal she's always dreamed of--although she wasn't exactly dressed for the occasion.

"We had just been on a hike," the singer told People. "And--in our workout clothes--he hit the knee!"

Scott added that she and her fiance feel "so blessed" and are "looking so forward to forever together."

Scott and Tyrell first met in 2010 when Tyrell was drumming for country group Love And Theft. Both his band and Lady Antebellum were opening up for Tim McGraw's Southern Voice tour at the time.

Remember back in November last year when Willie Nelson was busted for pot possession? Yeah, I can't say it's been really top-of-mind over here, either. However, apparently, Nelson is still not out of hot water regarding his incident with the law.

According to The New York Times, the presiding judge in the matter (the honorable Becky Dean-Walker of Texas's Hudspeth County) said she feels the singer is being let off too easily and is being shown preferential treatment due to his celebrity status.

In other words, what started out as a fairly minor incident (in terms of straightforwardness) has now grown into a looong and somewhat complicated story. I'll recap a timeline very briefly:

In late November 2010, Nelson was arrested in Texas at a border stop after agents discovered marijuana on board his tour bus. He released shortly after agreeing to appear in court at a later date. The alleged amount of pot found on the bus was enough to threaten a jail sentence.

In March of 2011, Hudspeth

Country music has a well-deserved reputation for being the most patriotic of all musical genres out there. True to form, a great deal of your favorite country artists made sure to let folks know how they are celebrating America's favorite summer holiday. All one has to do is go to Twitter to get all the red, white, and blue news.

Whether you're like Trent Tomlinson and celebrating the 4th of July long weekend by seeing Poison and Motley Crue (he tweeted a photo of his excellent seating location at the show, close enough to see the whites of Bret Michaels' eyes!)...or adopting a new pit bull called "Chunk," as Kellie Pickler did (she tweeted a photo of the new pup)...or doing a LeAnn Rimes and inviting everyone over for the party (alas, she did not tweet her address)...may your Independence Day be star-spangled!

Here's a roundup of country stars' tweets just to get you in the mood.

Chely Wright: Happy Fourth Of July everybody. Sending thoughts to our military guys and gals who are on

Dia Frampton may have lost out to Javier Colon on Wednesday, when the debut season of NBC's talent competition The Voice came to an end. However, the sweet-voiced songstress still managed to claim one of the most winning moments of the show.

Frampton was joined by country's currently reigning it-girl, Miranda Lambert, on stage to duet on Lambert's award-winning ballad, "The House That Built Me." The result was, simply, bittersweet perfection.

As for Frampton's coach--and Lambert's husband--Blake Shelton? Well, he was almost the best part of the performance. Every time the camera panned to him, his face showed barely restrained emotion.

"It finally hit me, watching that," Shelton explained, when asked by host Carson Daly if he had any comments after the duet. "I know now why I get so emotional when I'm around you...watching you standing there singing that song with my wife, it makes sense to me. You're family to me now. And I love you, I really do. I'm so proud of you." Awww!

Everyone out there getting ready for Independence Day? Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue or firing up your car for a road trip, I've got some new country music for you that'll be a perfect vibe for your holiday weekend.

Catchy quartet Gloriana, who are getting set to release their sophomore album, are offering a free download of their new tune "Soldier Song" on their Facebook account. The song is especially appropriate for July 4, as it was inspired by the band's experience last fall performing for our troops stationed in the Middle East and Europe.

You can download the song starting Thursday, June 30, and it will be available through July 7. In an extra-special touch, a video featuring fan-submitted photos of friends and family in the military will also be up for viewing on the Gloriana Facebook page.

Here's a little bit of insider trivia regarding this song for all you hardcore Gloriana fans. I interviewed the band a few months ago--at the time, they were still finalizing

The entire debut season of NBC's talent competition show The Voice has been a treat for country fans, due to--of course--celeb coach Blake Shelton's starring role. However, on Tuesday night, country music aficionados got an extra-special goody: Brad Paisley showed up to perform on the program!

Still not special enough for ya? Well, I'll make it better--Shelton jumped in to duet with him! The pair, fittingly, paired up for "Don't Drink The Water," their collaboration which appears on Paisley's album This Is Country Music.

The audience was enthusiastic to see Paisley on stage, but really got to roaring when Shelton sprang out of his coach's chair and began singing along. In a funny touch, Shelton changed the lyric "They've got some sweet senoritas" to "They've got sweet little Christinas," playfully referring to his costar and fellow coach Christina Aguilera. See for yourselves!

Wednesday's finale for The Voice will pack in yet another must-watch moment for country fans. Shelton's
