James Durbin Gives Acoustic a Chance at Yahoo Music – James Durbin made a name for himself on “American Idol” as Season 10’s resident rocker — screaming for vengeance with Judas Priest, grandly brandishing a Gothic cane while covering Muse, covering Sammy Hagar’s “Heavy Metal” movie theme, and coining the widely obeyed catchphrase “give metal a chance!” But there’s a softer side to James, as evidenced by his new toned-down look, the poppier sound of his sophomore album, “Celebrate” (on which he co-wrote 10 of the 11 tracks), and his recent unplugged performances at Yahoo Music. – Read more at Yahoo Music
IN MY DREAMS official ABC trailer
New Hallmark movie, starring Katharine McPhee
Natalie (Katharine McPhee) and Nick (Mike Vogel) don’t know each other, but they share lots in common. They’re both frustrated in their work lives (Natalie is managing a failing restaurant; Nick is working as an unappreciated architect for an unpleasant boss).

‘Dancing With the Stars’: ABC’s Aging Reality Show Tries to Skew Younger With Changes – In an effort to stem steep ratings declines, Dancing With the Stars is changing its tune. After the move last year to a combined performance and results show failed to give the ABC reality flagship a lift, producers are overhauling the show with more current music, a new co-host in Fox Sports’ Erin Andrews and increased audience participation. Dancing is still a force in total viewers, averaging 15 million last season, but those viewers are now 62.1 years old, making it the grayest broadcast show not on CBS. – Read more at The Hollywood Reporter
Peta’s DWTS Blog: ‘It’s a Very Strange Feeling’ Being Charlie’s Partner This Week – I think James’s bullying package during last week’s show was such a strong message for kids in school.
