There’s been so much buzz surrounding the Underwood/Simpson/Romo love triangle. Now that Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo are hot and heavy there’s a lot of speculation as to just how close Carrie Underwood and Tony Romo really were. It certainly seems Simpson has filled Underwood’s shoes – spotted all over Tinseltown hand-in-hand, and even seen cheering him on at his games.

On being linked to Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo:

“He was not my boyfriend and we were never dating. The more I screamed ‘We’re not dating!’ the more headlines claimed that we were a couple or that I was crying because he was out with another girl. We’re really good friends, we hang out a lot, and we’re close…well, friends smooch occasionally.”

On being a vegetarian:

“There was a traumatic incident that made me stop eating beef…And it hit me that these cute little animals that were running around playing would become someone’s dinner. Eating them made me feel guilty.”

On watching her diet and staying thin:

“The older I get, the harder it is to splurge without consequences. I love food. Chocolate and cheese and anything that’s bad for me. I’ll be really good when I’m at home so I can eat what I want to when I’m out with friends.”

On her public image:

“Everyone has all these expectations about what people should look like. Some people think I’m fat, some people don’t. Who are they to judge? But it does bother me – if I see a picture, and I look chubby, it affects how I feel about myself.”

On what the gossip mags and message boards have to say:

“Occasionally I’ll be on the Internet and see something about me and give in to the urge to click on it. It’s hard not to. Usually I wish I didn’t.”

On her stress-reliever and staying fit:

“Honestly, it’s my dog…He’s my kid that I get to take care of and put my energy into. I do exercise. I’ll use whatever’s in the hotel fitness room: the elliptical machine, maybe lift some weights. Then I’ll take Ace for a walk. And it’s important for me to know when enough is enough. I do get tired, and that can affect my whole sense of well-being.”

On wanting to be a news anchor:

“I love being on camera. And I love knowing what’s going on in the world. Diane Sawyer is my favorite. She never seems to lower herself to get the job done. She just always carries herself well. I really admire her.”

On writing her own songs:

“I don’t know if I could write a full album’s worth of material. It’s very draining. When I was writing with people, it was like going to see a psychologist for eight hours a day. I would talk about so much personal stuff at the end of the day, I would just be a wreck.”

On her weakness for ‘80s hair metal:

“I remember singing Motley Crue’s remake of ‘Smokin’ in the Boys’ Room’ in front of the mirror. That was the age of the real ‘rock star.’ I would like to have experienced that first-hand.”

Chace Crawford’s clan is crazy about Carrie Underwood.

“His whole family loves her,” a friend of the couple tells the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now. “They are really perfect for each other.”

How close are the duo of six months (who started dating in July but didn’t go public until October)? After the American Idol winner, 24, spent Thanksgiving with the Gossip Girls hottie, 22, at his parents’ home in Dallas, she joined his relatives on part of her Christmas vacation as well, Us confirms. “They spent Christmas together and had a wonderful time,” a source says.

“His parents are fond of her and think she’s extremely talented,” an insider tells Us. “And they believe ‘Carrie Crawford’ would be a great addition to the family!”

Underwood, meanwhile, has no regrets about her July split from Tony Romo. “She thanks her lucky stars she isn’t with Tony anymore!” adds a source. “She thinks it’s a joke he’s with Jessica Simpson and sees him as a player. Carrie and Chace call him ‘the player’ and Jessica ‘the ditz.’”

So I was hearing that Carrie and Chace had sort of broken up because he was cheating on her with a co-star on his show. Apparently, that wasn’t the case or if it were, they got back together. Carrie and Chase were spotting at Marquee nightclub’s  4th Anniversay Party in NYC last night. Crawford apparently was sipping bottles of Bud Light while cozying up with Underwood in a middle banquette.

At one point, the 24-year-old American Idol champ, wearing a jewel-embellished blue dress and knee-covering black boots, slipped onto the dance floor with her beau, throwing her arms around his neck as they danced suggestively.

The twosome then headed back to their table to watch the floor show, provided by performers in Oompa-Loompa costumes. They stayed there chatting until almost 2 a.m., when they headed out of the club together.

What do you guys think? Should she be with him?

Carrie Underwood has given some diet advice to other….Write down everything you eat!!

“I’m slightly obsessive-compulsive about what I eat, more than I should be. I write down everything I eat,” the singer tells Glamour magazine. “I started doing it last year. And in the last year is when I’ve gotten more healthy and lost weight.”What does she eat? Well, no meat. She’s been a vegetarian since age 13.  “I don’t think I could kiss someone after they ate a hamburger ’cause they would probably taste like it, and that would gross me out,” she tells Glamour.

As for Carrie’s working out, she enjoys cardio work and the balance ball

On being in show business and learning all the different designers:
“I’ll go home and one of my friends will say, ‘Oh my, gosh, those shoes are so cute,’ Underwood says. “And I’ll say, ‘Oh, they’re Christian Louboutins.’ They’re like, ‘What?’ So yeah, I’ve definitely learned more names.”

Carrie will be going on tour in January and says that she will have tons of luggage and accessories. “I have a giant makeup case, more makeup than any girl should have in her lifetime.”

How does writing down what you eat help to lose weight?

Here are all the ladies from last night!

I think she looks SO cute!!!
