Miranda Said What?
Miranda Lambert is both sympathetic and realistic about Kim Kardashian's divorce news. She tells CMT.com, "I just kind of feel sorry for her in a way. In another way, I don't, because you get what you asked for. Living that kind of a lifestyle, you know that you're gonna have backlash. I think that it's stressful enough to get married for regular people, like Blake and I, and I can't imagine all that pressure on her."
With the CMA Awards coming up next week, Miranda Lambert needs to think about where she and husband Blake Shelton can display any awards they win. That's because they've combined their winnings into one trophy case, and there's not much room left. She jokes with Us Weekly, "I was like, 'Look, Blake, we're awesome! We have all these awards!'" Miranda is nominated for Female Vocalist and Vocal Event, and Blake is up for Entertainer, Single, Album and Video.

Marriage certainly agrees with Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton after five months. The new bride tells Us Weekly, "We learned to grow up and settle down... We still have a blast, but in a different way. I mean, we lie there watching the Weather Channel."
