Carrie Underwood Overwhelmed by Taking Care of Sprawling Tennessee Farm: ‘There's Too Much to Do'
'It was total folly to have these 400 acres of land, chickens, horses, fruit trees, vegetable garden and greenhouse — and she's realizing that now,' an insider confides to Globe.
A source who spoke with Star recently shared the same sentiment. 'It's become too much for her to maintain, and she's getting no sleep because she's up at the crack of dawn taking care of all these animals,' the source shared.
'She's shoveling hay, weeding, fertilizing, harvesting, and then she's in the kitchen making jams and pickling cucumbers,' the source told the outlet, noting the 'Cry Pretty' singer is also encountering 'repairs that never end.'
'The hours she spends over a hot stove are enough to singe her hair,' the Globe insider says. 'Something is always breaking down — from farming equipment to appliances.'
According to the insider, Carrie, 42, has enlisted people to help but staffing is a 'nightmare' and still requires her oversight. Meanwhile, her ex–hockey player husband, Mike Fisher, is busy being a hands-on dad to their two sons, Isaiah, 10, and Jacob, 6.
The American Idol winner turned judge bought the rural property in 2011 for $3 million with the former NHL jock, 45, and built the dream home where they're raising their family.
The insider explains, 'She once loved the idea of having a farm and had this romantic picture of how it would be — and it's not that.'
Carrie wouldn't dream of selling the place, says the insider, but 'she's tired of getting dirty and running from bee hives and other unforeseen occurrences.'
'When she's on a break from touring, she wants to come home and relax, but she can't do that,' adds the insider. 'There's too much to do.'

Older People Are Sharing The "Forgotten" TV Shows From Their Childhoods, And I'm Adding Like Half Of These To My To-Watch List Immediately
Recently, I rounded up some forgotten '90s TV shows, and there were some hidden gems in there! In the comments, BuzzFeed Community members of all ages shared obscure series from their childhoods. Here are 50 of their top responses: 1."Thirtysomething. Huge hit in the late '80s/early '90s. Literally so forgotten it isn't even streaming anywhere. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it's about young boomers who have huge houses, kids, and high-paying jobs, and yet do nothing but complain about middle age and how they have to sell out to succeed. I doubt a single person could relate to it today. It was also kinda sexist. The women who were well-adjusted were the stay-at-home moms, and the independent working women had all the psychological issues." —colleend9 2."Black Hole High (or if you were in the States, like me, it was Strange Days at Blake Holsey High). It was about a group of science-loving kids at a Canadian boarding school with a wormhole under their school, and they have to figure out what the local evil guy (and dad of one of the kids) wants with it. It has a surprisingly complex myth arc for a children's show, and a good twist near the end. I loved that show. It's streaming on a few different platforms in the US, including Prime." —lobster_lemon_lime 3."It appears that no one remembers Girlfriends. I always wanted to get Converse because of Persia White's character." —alice_follows_the_white_rabbit 4."Bosom Buddies had Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari. I can't recall why, but the aforementioned actors disguised themselves as women." [Note: The two male leads disguised themselves so they could live in an affordable female-only apartment building.] —pissedoffprofessor 5."What I Like About You. Most people forget that Amanda Bynes and Jennie Garth were on a sitcom together for four seasons on The WB." —smellyunicorn211 6."There was a show on Disney Channel called The Jersey, and it was a sports show. I think it transported the wearer into the body of a pro athlete, like they were playing in the Super Bowl." —ashlucky5 7."Small Wonder was a comedy science fiction about a robotics engineer and his family. He secretly builds a robot that looks like a human girl, and they disguise her as their adopted daughter, Vicki." —grouchytoaster7815 8."The Young Riders. I was madly in love with every single one of those boys at 11 years old. Actually, when I was a kid, I was a huge Civil War nerd (I still am, but not to the extent I was then), and that show's time frame, being right before the Civil War, made me even more interested in it. I still see that baby face every time I see Josh Brolin in anything. He and Stephen Baldwin were my favorites." —scorp599211 9."How about Fifteen (aka Hillside in Canada)? Nickelodeon's version of 90210. Damn near a Canadian copy." —rebekahj6 "There was also a show on Nickelodeon called Fifteen that I still think I might have dreamed because no one remembers it." —vividavocado85 10."A Mary-Kate and Ashley forgotten gem — So Little Time!" —emilyv11 11."I have something really obscure for you guys. There was this TV show in the '90s about a guy who was a journalist, and then he gets fired but decides to reapply to the same newspaper, but now dressed up as a woman. It lasted for a season. The name of the TV show was Ask Harriet." —kpride895 12."Dark Shadows had a brief reboot in 1991, which was good but unintentionally funny for various scenes, like when one female lead named Victoria was transported back in time. She ended up being suspected as a witch because of the tags in her clothing, which had symbols for stuff like dry clean only or iron on low." —henrylovedog 13."There's the Beverly Hills, 90210 spinoff show The Heights. Most people recall the song ('How Do You Talk To An Angel') but not the actual show." —henrylovedog 14."A sci-fi show with Lori Singer — VR.5. It's about a telephone lineworker who can enter a type of virtual reality, where she can interact with other people." —radpotato92 15."One show I've never seen on these lists is Sisters. It was a great series with an amazing cast!" —happypumpkin137 16."There was a New Kids on the Block cartoon (they had a random dog sidekick instead of a more believable roadie)." —justjen0178 17."No one I know seems to remember the show Wake, Rattle, and Roll. The theme song is my morning alarm. 😬" —tcfranco 18."Kidd Video, anyone? '80s cartoon where a live-action band got transported into a cartoon universe called the Flipside. Popular songs of the day were played throughout the episodes, and the band would have one of their own music videos towards the end. I freakin' loved it." —laughingclown4451 19."Way back in 1990, Carol Burnett came out with a series — Carol & Company. It was a great concept. This was a sitcom. Every week, Carol Burnett and the cast would play different characters in different cities. The people and places in the current week's episode were not the same people and places in last week's episode." —cutepenguin77 20."Can't Hurry Love. I was only 6 when it was on the air, but I definitely remember it. It was kind of a Friends-type of show, but MUCH better. Mariska Hargitay? Yes, please!!!" —peacefulpotato62 21."Our Hero. It's about a girl who was trying to be a blogger before YouTube, LOL. She was making a hand-drawn magazine about her day-to-day life. Loved it." —liraelkl 22."As a tween, I remember the show Herman's Head. It definitely inspired the recent movie Inside Out, but it was tongue-in-cheek, raunchy, and hilarious!" —clevertable50 23."Ok, Sports Night. I might literally be the only person who remembers. Imagine if Aaron Sorkin wrote about a fictional ESPN (he did)." —silkytortoise5038 24."One of my favorite shows no one remembers is The Odyssey. It's about a boy who falls into a coma, but he ends up in a fantasy world in his mind and tries to get back. Ryan Reynolds is the antagonist. I loved this show very much, but people don't remember it." —liraelkl 25."Ghostbusters the cartoon (The Real Ghostbusters). I'd fake sick to stay home and watch it." —progamer795 26."Dark Skies starring Eric Close, Megan Ward, and J. T. Walsh. 'History as we know it is a lie.'" —dizzytrash587 27."This one is from the '80s. USA Network had an all-night variety show. It was called Night Flight. Nobody remembers that." —grouchylight4345 28."I always come to these looking to see if anyone else remembers Seven Days — a show about a CIA agent who goes back in time seven days to prevent bad things from happening." —sparklylion861 29."Does ANYONE remember What-a-Mess? I just had to Google to make sure it wasn't some weird false memory I'd created, LOL." —emilyv11 30."100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd, where he gets turned into a dog and has to do 100 good deeds before getting turned back..." —larisadavis 31."Dangerous Women was 🔥. Casper Van Dien was in it." —odddog14 32."Strange Empire. It was a Canadian show full of cool female leads set in the plains, I think, circa the passing of the 'Indian Act' in 1876. It seemed like there were some really interesting storylines emerging about Indigenous people and women before it got cancelled." —deadpanship144 33."My Secret Identity! Starring a young Jerry O'Connell." —jim9219771 34."I badly miss Doctor Doctor! It's not streaming anywhere either, and it doesn't appear to have ever gotten a home video release, so unless you taped it when it was on, you can't watch it at all now. 😠" —toothlessfeline 35."Psi Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal, which was a Dan Aykroyd show. They changed much of the cast after Season 1, and Matt Frewer became the star, with Michael Moriarty." —dizzytrash587 36."How about Battle Creek with Dean Winters ('Mayhem' in insurance commercials)? Great show that was canceled too soon." —silkytree253 37."Now, who else watched Andy Richter Controls the Universe?" —oddrocket298 38."Spyder Games was one I feel like NO ONE talks about that was on MTV." —cherielovee 39."Popular! Whenever I bring it up, no one else has any clue what I'm talking about. It had an amazing cast — Leslie Bibb, Carly Pope, Sara Rue, and Leslie Grossman!" —denaet 40."I'm a fan of the forgotten cartoon Cybersix, based on the Argentinian comic about an android who fights crime at night in black leather and disguises herself as a male high school teacher during the day. Only lasted one season." —five_star 41."I loved a show called Second Noah. I think it got two seasons, and I've never met anyone other than my sister who watched it." —vividavocado85 42."Roar, with a young Heath Ledger and Vera Farmiga. It was an Aussie show that was broadcast in the US. It only aired for one season. I was obsessed and had the hugest crush on Heath. It's set in fifth-century Ireland and the conflict between the Celts and the invading Romans with fantasy elements. It was cheesy but fun, and not as ridiculous as Hercules with Kevin Sorbo." —amandac4b39f8d18 43."Does anyone remember a show called Homefront? Set right after WWII ended, and the boys were coming home. Only two seasons, but it was so good!" —jwilliams5041311 44."Does anyone remember Alien Nation? It was based on the movie, but way better. Unfortunately, it only lasted one season and ended on a cliffhanger." —smileydragon76 45."Punky Brewster the cartoon (It's Punky Brewster). Used to air on Saturday mornings. No one ever remembers that show." —casualmug964 46."Anyone out there remember The World of David the Gnome?! My husband and I have talked about it a hundred times, but I swear we're the only people who seem to have seen it." —fionaelkins82 47."Headbangers Ball on MTV, hosted by Riki Rachtman, was tight!!" —elsag1 48."This reminds me of a show called The Tribe from New Zealand. It was about a bunch of teenagers in a post-apocalyptic world following a plague that killed off all adults." —pbbt 49."I miss Talk Soup but with John Henson, which led me to love all those VH1 commentary shows in the early 2000s like the I Love the '70s and Best Week Ever. I miss my pop culture snark shows." —lilpeas35 finally: "There was an Australian show that aired in Canada called The Girl From Tomorrow about a teen girl who travels back in time. She has this headband thing called a Transducer that allows her to control things. I'm not Australian, so if that show is still remembered there, Aussies, LMK." —five_star Are there any super weird "forgotten" shows you remember from decades ago?

Jessica Alba and Danny Ramirez Confirm Their Romance with a Passionate Kiss in L.A.
A source previously told PEOPLE that things are "very new" between the actors and "they're having a good time together" Jessica Alba's new romance is heating up! On Friday, July 25, the actress and Honest Company co-founder, 44, was spotted kissing Danny Ramirez in Los Angeles. Photos from the PDA-filled outing show the pair with their arms wrapped around each other as they shared a smooch near a parked car. The actors dressed casually for the outing, both wearing sneakers, gray sweatpants and baseball caps. Ramirez, 32, wore a black T-shirt and glasses, while Alba layered a black jacket over a crop top, and carried a black handbag. Just two days earlier, on July 23, the Trigger Warning actress and Captain America: Brave New World star were photographed smiling inside a car together, following a dinner outing in L.A. A source told PEOPLE earlier this month that things are "very new" between the pair. The insider also said of Alba and Ramirez, "They're having a good time together." The duo was previously spotted returning from a romantic getaway in Mexico. Photos obtained at the time by TMZ showed Alba boarding a flight from Cancún with Ramirez, after the pair spent time in the area together. Around the same time, a source told PEOPLE that Alba has 'been getting a lot of attention since the divorce" and is "flattered." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Alba's romance with Ramirez comes months after she filed for divorce from Cash Warren in February, citing irreconcilable differences. She filed for joint custody of their three children — Honor, 17, Haven, 13, and Hayes, 7 — and requested that her legal name be restored to Jessica Marie Alba. The actress first met Warren, a film producer, in 2004, and they married on May 19, 2008. Alba listed their date of separation as Dec. 27, 2024, in the divorce filing. Alba first broke her silence about her split from Warren in January, when she emphasized in a statement that, though it was time for them to "embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals," their kids remain the couple's 'highest priority.'
