He always leaves you wondering what he’s going to do (or say!) next. 

She’s always gotten comparisons to Beyonce and Janet Jackson, but it’s apparent that (with all due respect to both of those equally talented performers) she’s very much her own person.  Her style and originality are purely her own.

Love this outfit!

Skechers has signed American Idol winner David Cook to endorse the brand globally. Smart move, I’d say. He’s as popular as Daughtry right now and should definitely have the sort of success Chris Daughtry has found.

Like Carrie, David will prove to be a perfect spokesperson. They’re both hugely popular, likable, mega-talented and can bring in droves of fans. Also, unlike Taylor Hicks, they won’t prove to be jokes played on the AI audience by the AI audience.

Don’t you know American Idol would love to purge him from the list of winners?

I’m surprised Jordin Sparks hasn’t gotten any endorsement deals. She would be a perfect make-up model, or a spokesmodel for Candie’s. She’s a ridiculously beautiful girl. She’s also very sweet, likable, and friendly.

Kelly Clarkson seems to have disappeared from the media again. I hate it when she goes missing. I wonder if her cd would have sold more and gotten more radio play if her record company had actually supported her. Personally, I think the answer’s yes on both accounts. When her cd came out, the buzz was everything she could hope for. She was on the radio all the time. Then the news came out that Clive Davis didn’t even like her cd and everyone who was supposed to “have her back” had a knife in it.

All of a sudden, Kelly was nowhere to be found. Ridiculous. She’s still one of the most talented singers and song writers around. I’ve put a few videos featuring Kelly to the side in the featured video slots… you know…. to kind of back up my rant.

Great stuff.

“Amy is so talented. But a performer’s privacy is taken away. The media are always there,” Daily Star quoted her as saying. “You can’t make your mistakes in private. I have the advantage of a great support structure. I get honest opinions from family and friends. They aren’t always telling me what I want to hear, but the truth helps keep my head straight,” she said

Leona told Parade Magazine that she (understandably) is honored to be compared to legendary divas Whitney Houston (44) and Mariah Carey (38). “It’s exceedingly gratifying because they’re so great,” she added.

Unless you’ve been living in a cave or on a Country Music station, you’ve heard Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl.”   When I first heard the song, I thought it was Amy Winehouse.  But I’d heard all of her stuff and knew she’d never done a song about kissing a girl. Besides, a few lines into the song I realized it wasn’t Amy.

I listened to the end for the DJ to give me the name, but all he said was, “This girl’s getting a lot of comparisons to Amy Winehouse!”  Then he went into details about the weather.

Thanks, guy.

When I got home, I jumped on GOOGLE and soon found out what I needed to know.  That was a few weeks ago and, of course, by now everyone knows Katy.

On his website, Perez Hilton wrote: “If Avril Lavigne were actually talented, pretty, and had an appealing personality, she’d be Katy Perry. She’s got the whole package!”   Ouch.

Katy has said, “I don’t care who I’m compared to as long as people listen to the music.  Usually I find it funny to say I’m like a skinnier version of Lily Allen and a fatter version of Amy Winehouse. It always renders a good chuckle.”

Katy’s gaining a monstrous following - it’ll be interesting to see where this all goes.  She very well be the next big thing.

David and the rest of the “Idol’s” are getting ready for the show’s summer tour which begins July 1. He said he is looking forward to it because, “I get to hang out with nine of my best friends.”

He said that he and his girlfriend, Kimberly Caldwell, will keep in touch while he’s on tour. “Text and email will be my life the next few months.”

Sadly, Amy Winehouse is having to pay her debt for ….well… raunchy living.

Her dad recently announced that the talented but troubled star has developed emphysema. Daddy Winehouse told the press:

“With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes, her lungs are all gunked up. There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She’s got 70 percent lung capacity. The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it won’t just ruin her voice, it will kill her. The doctors have said that if she had continued the way she was going, she could have ended up an invalid—she wouldn’t have been able to breathe.”

If that’s not enough of a wake up call for this girl, she’s doomed. It should also be a big fat reminder to everyone else to never touch drugs. Oh, I dunno… as in EVER.

If you ever feel the least bit tempted, come back here and look at the picture you see at the top of the post. Then go have a Kit Kat. Chocolate does wonders for you and doesn’t turn you into a skankadoo.

In all seriousness, I’m a huge fan of Amy Winehouse’s music and hope she’ll get her stuff together. She’s just 24 for pity’s sake!

I know you remember Luke Menard from this past season on AI.  He had a wonderful smile and an amazing voice.  He was sort of quiet and didn’t get the coverage that a lot of the other contestants got.  Somehow he got lost in the shuffle of huge talents and fresh faces - even though his voice and stage presence were straight on flawless. 

Sadly, the 29 year old former American Idol contestant is battling Stage Two Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system.  When he went to the doctor, Luke thought he had “walking pneumonia” but soon learned that his cough was much more serious than that.

When he was in the hospital in California (during the last weeks of the show), David Cook and Carly Smithson each visited him.

David Cook told People Magazine:

“I love Luke and I just wanted to show up and make sure that he understood that I love him and know that if there’s anything I can do for him and his wife, sign me up, you know?  Luke, Michael Johns, Jason Yeager and myself, we kind of buddy-ed up one day at Hollywood week.  We called ourselves the four horsemen. Any time one of your own is going through something as horrible as that, it makes everything else seem a little bit insignificant.

“Cancer,” Cook says, “is a very big part of my existence.  I’m excited to be put in [the spotlight] where I can hopefully do something to help other people.”

David Cook’s brother, Adam, has been waging his own war against cancer for ten years (brain cancer). 

Luke is back in his hometown now (Crawfordsville, Indiana) with his wife, family, and friends.  His cancer, Stage Two Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, has a 95 percent survival rate, with treatment.  While that’s extremely encouraging, Luke still has a lot on his plate to deal with, so keep him in your thoughts and prayers (as well as Adam Cook, of course.)

You can visit Luke’s MySpace  and show him your support.  His mood?  Determined. 

Stylishly gorgeous and gorgeously stylish Rihanna and her impossibly cute dog were out being fabuous on May 13.  The purse?  The jeans? The hoops?  The top?  The figure?  Does anyone have it more going on than this girl?
