On a week where the most notable new releases were Christmas albums, the Billboard charts brought mixed tidings for our former Idols. There was bad news for Kris Allen, whose first single disappeared from the Hot 100 singles chart after just one week. And for Jordin Sparks, whose second album fell out of the Billboard…
American Music Award nominations were announced Tuesday, with more than a little help from season eight runner-up Adam Lambert and former Idol judge Paula Abdul. I mean, just check out the photos.

It’s a sorta dreary Tuesday. The weather’s turning colder. Frost is in the forecast. Who comes along to brighten the day? None other than Ms. Sunshine herself, Brooke White.
