What should we expect from new judge Ellen DeGeneres when season nine of American Idol starts next year? Expect honesty, she tells the Associated Press, in the story I’ve pasted below, which moved Thursday. Don’t expect her to get into a bathing suit duel with the likes of Bikini Girl. I, for one, am looking…
Eleven hours after it opened, the York Fair finally caught a break. The original American Idol took the grandstand stage and, for the most part, the rain that had fallen all day subsided. Kelly Clarkson might not have looked nearly as svelte as on the September cover of Self in that photo touch-up controversy. And…
So Idol has a new judge. And it isn’t Avril Lavigne, Shania Twain, Neil Patrick Harris or any of the seemingly countless others who were supposedly auditioning to replace Paula Abdul on the nation’s most-watched TV show. Folks, meet Ellen DeGeneres. The good news: The Paula saga is over. There were many, including some contestants…
Another performer has been added to the VH1 Divas show, scheduled for broadcast next Thursday at 9 p.m. And, naturally, it’s another former American Idol contestant — Jennifer Hudson. Wow, Idol sure cranks out the divas. Jennifer will join fellow former Idols Kelly Clarkson and Jordin Sparks as a performer on the show, which will…
Remember Mishavonna Henson? If not, you’d have a good excuse. She was one of the many Idol semifinalists swallowed up by the numbers game on season eight of American Idol, when we got to see far too little of many talented contestants. Anyway, Mishavonna has released a new single, “My Cowboy,” that is now available…
Season six Idol winner Jordin Sparks will appear at a special concert to celebrate Milton Hershey School’s 100th anniversary at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, at the Giant Center in Hershey. The event is a private function for Milton Hershey School students, staff and alumni. But 100 others will win two free tickets to the…
Carrie Underwood says hosting the County Music Awards takes her mind off whether she’s going to win or not. Good thing, because she was just nominated for two more CMAs. Carrie is one of five nominees for top female vocalist, along with Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride and Reba McEntire.And she is also nominated…
His eighth-place finish on season five of American Idol hardly guaranteed future stardom. But then Bucky Covington released his self-titled debut album in April 2007. It opened at number one on the country charts and produced three top 10 country hits. Two years later, Bucky is preparing to release his followup album. And he’ll be…
Two former Idol contestants can lay claim to top 10 singles this week, both on the Billboard pop chart. For the second straight week, Jordin Sparks’ latest hit, “Battlefield,” checks in at number seven among pop singles. And though they’re better known as a rock band, Daughtry has enjoyed its share of pop success and…
Avril Lavigne. Shania Twain. The list of celebrities and musicians auditioning for the role of Idol’s fourth judge just keeps getting longer. I mean, at this point, who hasn’t had a turn in the judge’s chair? Billy Bob Thornton. That’s who. That suggestion comes from country music star and former Idol contestant Bucky Covington, who’s…
