BIG FROG 104'S HOT NEWZ FROM NASHVILLE

September 10, 2010 » Even When You Feel You're All Alone: It must be hockey season because Carrie Underwood has packed her schedule ... and her bags. Rather than sit home while new hubby Mike Fisher hits the ice at NHL rinks across the continent, Underwood's kicking off the second leg of her Play On tour Sept. 25, co-hosting the 44th Annual CMA Awards with Brad Paisley Nov. 10, just screened her first film role Soul Surfer (release date TBA) and just inked a beauty contract with Olay Skin Care. "It's kind of my season," Underwood tells the Associated Press. "My tour starts the same time [Mike's] does. It will definitely be a challenge, but we love each other and we love what we do, so there's no reason we can't have it all. Next year will be an easier year for me. As soon as my tour is over, I'll be hanging out with him a lot more." As for the movie role, Underwood is her own toughest critic. "I was really expecting the worst from myself, and I really surprised myself," she says. "I really liked how everything turned out."
