KELLIE PICKLER is set to appear at Nashville's Symphony Center next Tuesday night as part of the CMA's Keep the Music Playing All-Stars event. During the show, money raised during the annual CMA Music Festival will be presented to Nashville-area music programs. Students from Metro Nashville Public Schools will also perform at the concert.

CARRIE UNDERWOOD recently presented the Humane Society of The United States with a check for 200 thousand dollars according to Country Aircheck. The proceeds came from digital sales of Carrie's song "Home Sweet Home," which was used at the exit music on American Idol last season.
