"She performs to sold-out arenas and commands the crowd like a veteran music superstar, but Carrie Underwood swears that she's not as self-assured off the stage. \"I can go sing in front of a gazillion people, but ask me to speak publicly about something and I get nervous, start talking really fast, and stutter!\" she says.\n\nEver since she won on American Idol six years ago, Carrie's relatable, girl-next-door personality has made her seem more like a famous friend than an award-amassing diva (though her five Grammys, fifteen Billboard Music Awards wins, and ten Academy of Country Music trophies definitely qualify her as one). As her celebrity status grew, unfortunately, so did the unwanted attention from mean-spirited gossips. \"Whenever someone says, 'Oh, my gosh, did you see her hair?' or 'What was she wearing?' I remind myself that I have awesome parents and friends,\" she shares, adding that she goes online only to visit her official fan site and check e-mail. \"I don't want to know about all the other stuff.\"\n\nRecently she made headlines for being a part of beauty history: Skin-care megabrand Olay chose her to be its first-ever celebrity ambassador\u2014a fitting partnership, according to Carrie. A big believer in the benefits of a simple cleansing and hydrating routine, she loves the Daily Facial Cloths (\"They remove eye makeup without stinging\") and slathers on Complete Defense All Day UV Moisturizer every morning (\"It doesn't feel greasy\"). She also attributes her dewy complexion to drinking lots of water and making healthy vegetarian meals on her tour bus instead of relying on hotel room service, which is in keeping with her natural-minded beauty philosophy. \"Some people do drastic things to their faces, but it's not necessary. You have the ability to make your own skin the best it can be,\" Carrie declares with confidence, proving that despite her self-proclaimed fear of public speaking, she's totally ready to tackle her new gig."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
