Carrie Underwood and her husband Mike Fisher were at a standstill in an important breakfast debate, so she decided to poll her audience, asking if Donuts were for breakfast or dessert?

More than 95,000 of her followers chimed in. “I’m [not] really sure you should stay married to someone that thinks donuts are a dessert?” one follower jokes in response to the star’s poll. “I’m glad we could help with this one Carrie!” another says.

Reality show pioneer Simon Cowell may be currently laid out recovering from a serious and frightening bike accident in which he broke his back — but he can rest easy knowing that one of his very first champions has his back. Kelly Clarkson, who famously won the first season of American Idol under Cowell’s sharp judging eye, is stepping in to take his place on his current series, America’s Got Talent, while he recuperates.

Maren Morris is making a splash in Music City, yet again. Only this time, she’s doing it with her earnings. The singer’s committed large sums to two Nashville institutions to improve separate facets of the Tennessee capital.

Last week, she donated $70,000 to the school band program at East Nashville Magnet High School by way of her Heroes Fund, the charity started by the singer. Morris tells the Tennessean that “public school music and theater departments [have] always held a special place in my heart.” She remembers how her high school choir had to perform in “decade-old hand me down uniforms and sight read from torn books.”
