They share a connection thanks to “American Idol,” and past winner Carrie Underwood teamed up with current judge Steven Tyler for an Indiana State Fairgrounds Pepsi Coliseum performance in Indianapolis on Saturday night (February 4). The duo took the stage to the crowds delight while treating the audience to a set including a rockin’ rendition of Carrie’s hit song “Before He Cheats” as part of the CMT Crossroads Live From ‘Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam’ event. Prior to taking the stage, Carrie and Steven spoke about one another during a show promo, with the Aerosmith rocker saying, “You were why I took judging for ‘Idol,’ you are exactly why. Not only could you sing good, but you adapted to this…it’s a pit! It’s a deep, dark, ominous pit. And you get out there on-stage at night with that band, that great band you’ve got and you make people feel happy, first and foremost. All the rest, if people knew what we went through to get out on that stage… you have gotten past that and not a lot of people do – they have to get through drugs and alcohol, booze and divorces and even those didn’t make it. You were a natural at it.” Offering up kind words about Tyler in return, Miss Underwood said, “I remember as a very small child, I could pick your voice out. Even then, you know that it’s different, you know that it’s special and can pick it out from a million other voices. You were definitely part of what gave me that musical, laid-back, in-the-pocket sensibility on albums and stuff like that.”

Seemingly just what the doctor ordered, LeAnn Rimes was in recovery mode during a day at the beach in Malibu, CA this weekend (February 4). The 29-year-old “What I Cannot Change” crooner tossed on a skimpy swimsuit as she joined husband Eddie Cibrian and a few friends while on the mend from a minor operation in which she underwent a few days prior. Of her medical procedure, Miss Rimes tweeted in the morning hours, “K, coming clean….I had minor surgery this week and I’ve been in SO much pain it’s not even funny. Nothing major just annoying! Pain pain go away!!!!!! When it’s mouth pain and jaw pain it makes your whole head pound! YUCK” With the warm west coast setting making her feel a bit better, she later wrote during her beach excursion, “The pain is subsiding finally for a moment. My head has been vibrating all day. Maybe the sand under my feet is helping.” Meanwhile, LeAnn also recently shot down rumors claiming that she’s joining the cast of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” as she messaged of the National Enquirer tale, “No, [the rumor is] not even remotely true.”

In what’s been one of the year’s closest races thus far, “Chronicle” has edged out the competition while making its way atop the box office over the weekend of February 3-5, 2012. The Josh Trank directed drama/sci-fi motion picture took home an approximate $8.6 million on Friday and another $10.3 million on Saturday while pacing towards a pack-leading $22.2 million total. Just slightly behind “Chronicle” is Daniel Radcliffe’s new movie “The Woman In Black,” which spooked up an estimated $8.3 million and $9.8 million on Friday and Saturday, respectively, while projected to end up with $21.5 million during its first weekend of release. Rounding out the top five at the box office in estimated weekend totals are last week’s winner “The Grey” ($9.8 million), followed by the Drew Barrymore / John Krasinski starring whale tale “Big Miracle” ($8.5 million) and Kate Beckinsale’s “Underworld: Awakening” ($5.8 million).
