Idol Headlines for 08/19/09

Ciara Replaced By Jordin Sparks On Britney Spears Tour

^ Probably because someone at Jive woke up and realized a Jordin/Brit pairing would be odd – to say the least. Hope they find a good match for Jordin.

Ciara Replaced By Jordin Sparks On Britney Spears Tour

No, Jordin replaced Ciara, not the other way around…

Ciara Replaced By Jordin Sparks On Britney Spears Tour

^ Probably because someone at Jive woke up and realized a Jordin/Brit pairing would be odd – to say the least. Hope they find a good match for Jordin.

Actually, I think it’s Jordin who’s replacing Ciara.

Maybe Jordin’s management is trying what Donny Osmond’s management wanted to do — “dirty up” his image a bit. They apparently even proposed a drug bust, but he ultimately declined! …. (This in the funny story about how 7 out of the 16 DWTS people have had brushed with the law. Dancing With the Cons? Dancing with the Drug Abusers?)

I think you’re reading the article wrong. Jordin is still touring with Britney. It was Ciara that was taken OFF the tour.

Heh. Maybe they’re trying to clean up Britney’s “act,” and when I say “act,” I mean somehow make them forget about the disaster that has been her life lately.

However, I don’t think an opening act with the Virgin Mary could clean up Britney’s image.

So Cook supposedly has an older girlfriend, good for him, hope he’s happy. Waiting for fan meltdown in 4, 3, 2………… lol

LOL! Do you think the site that likes to track down all Cook’s supposed girlfriends and email their info around got the the New York Post?

I’m getting my comfy chair and grabbing the popcorn as we speak. “Cook dating cougar” jokes shall commence… NOW!

Hell yeah break out the popcorn!

Tinawina,

You would be correct. Those losers seem to think a grown man with a girlfriend is a career killer. As a huge Cook fan, I’m glad Dave doesn’t feel the need to be a Disney character come to life. But Page six should be taken with the whole salt shaker , least we forget the epic non relationship with the scene queen. LOL

Not gonna lie, I’m kinda curious to read the reaction to the David Cook hookup thing too

I’m so impressed with Michael Slezak’s interviews, he asks such great questions! Jason Castro’s forte is talking about that stuff too, it’s like he’s this completely developed music savvy veteran when he’s talking about his music. I’m so happy for him. I like the single because it’s Jason’s personality and it’s a cute little tune. I think he could do better but I’m just happy getting new music from my 2 S7 faves, Brooke and Jason!

Paula eventually coming back is the worst kept “secret” ever unless it’s AI’s secret strategy for getting people tired of her and her drama or just their ploy for off season headlines.

I wonder why David and Kim didn’t work out – they were cute together.

LOL! Do you think the site that likes to track down all Cook’s supposed girlfriends and email their info around got the the New York Post?

I never saw much over there about a possible girlfriend… though this might be the nurse that was rumored to be with him on one of his breaks. Hee, I’m interested to watch fandom react, too (though only people who thought they might get to be his girlfriend will freak out I guess)… I saw a pic of her posted somewhere and she’s a beautiful lady. And being 35 myself… I don’t think she (we) are old enough to qualify as cougars quite yet

Bahahaha, “busty Atlanta model”, that sounds… almost sleazy. Heh, I love it. Aww, our boy made Page Six! That’s gotta check off some celebrity box, right? One thing though: not to say I necessarily put any stock in Page Six, ever, but the blurb says they’d been “con necting since just about the time he won the competition.” What, the gossip columnists forgot about the other Kim already? Poor Kim C…

I like Jason’s new happy tune! Maybe he’ll come up with a Jason Mraz-zy type album, with hopefully some songs in the mix that are a bit more musically complex. That’d be neat. Cool site, too. Those exorbitant VIP packages are a little strange/odd though. A personal phone call? Um, why would you be selling that?

I am a David Cook fan too, but I don’t think I will be believing this latest “hook-up” gossip about him. It was big news a few months ago that he was “dating” some blond “Scene Queen”, which turned out to not be true, so I doubt if this latest story is either. It sounds like another chick trying to use his name to get herself some attention, just like the last one.

I am also curious about some future comments regarding the Cook article…sorry, it amuses me! It has always been a non-issue who anyone dates so although I would gather there would be a few upset fangirls, I think most would agree a big “who cares as long as he’s happy” is in order. True or not, good for you Cook! Have a good time and keep the PorkBeans coming!

LOL, I was wondering why I had to read 5 comments about a misread headline before seeing anything said about the Cook cougar. grrrr. I hope he’s happy too, if it’s true.

Loved the 2nd part to the Kris interview and ignoring the reviews from Boston.

The NY Post story on Cookie is just a rag trying to get hits with a non-story. If this had been a 35 year old man and a 27 year old woman, there wouldn’t even be a story. I honestly don’t believe anything this rag says. Wasn’t this the one that hated Cookie last year?

Squirrely, I liked Kim too. She’s cute and she doesn’t seem like a pushover. Ah well.

Who cares if he’s actually dating her? I mean, good for him, bully and all that, but ya’ll are missing the important stuff. Not only do we have another girl (who I bet is blonde, of course), but we have one who is older so we an call her a cougar (no tierbee, 35 really isn’t old enough but so what!). We get to make fun of Cook’s dating habits again. Now somebody get this party started while I make some coffee. I cannot snark properly on 4 hours sleep until I have my caffeine.

Not only do we have another girl ( who I bet is blonde, of course)

Sorry Tinawina, seems the alledged GF is a redhead. OMG, haha

What the goosip columnist forgot about the other Kim already?

Seems the ” reporters” are confusing their Kims. Whole salt shaker applied to popcorn.

Ciara Replaced By Jordin Sparks On Britney Spears Tour

No, Jordin replaced Ciara, not the other way around’ ¦

Both those sentences mean the same thing. I think I’m missing the point, maybe?

Love the Kris interview. The part where he goes to the bathroom, and Simon and Randy ending up peeing on the urinals beside him. Too funny.

I just found this quote from the page six blurb so funny…

While in town, Johnston stayed at a budget hotel, the Marrakech on Broadway at 103rd Street.

Surely, Cook could afford to keep his GF in better lodging than a budget hotel?

I don’t want to make fun of David. I want Cookie to be happy.

LOL…you are right, tierbee, 35 is not old enough to be a cougar. I think a 30 something women dating younger guys are called “Pumas”? Is that right? Puma? I think I heard that somewhere and thought WTF? Where did that come from?!

edit: then you landed on the wrong blog. We snark on the idols here

Cookie and a Kim ? lol. Bring on the coffee and the popcorn. I hope when he does choose a girlfriend she is not blond or named Kim. Sorry to disappoint people but his fans are not going anywhere no matter what.

Ugh. Can we please stop using the term “cougar”? It is insultin and deragatory. Props to Cook if he is bangin an older babe (altho i doubt this story is true). If it were a 35 yo man with a 26 yo woman it would not even be newsworthy.

Is this true about Cook? What does she look like? Anyone have pics?

Here is an article on mostly Matt Girard and the Idols coming to Pittsburg.

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09231/991833-388.stm

I really liked this part of the article about Adam’s support of Matt.

Lambert, who has come out of the closet, weighed in, in his own way, wearing a homemade “Matt Giraud Is Bangin’ ” T-shirt. A general consensus is that if “Idol’s” top prize went to the nicest contestant, he may have gone all the way.

I don’t want to make fun of David. I want Cookie to be happy.

Of course. But I also want to amuse myself. I don’t think he’ll break up with any girlfriends because we made jokes. Yes I am selfish like that.

Sorry Tinawina, seems the alledged GF is a redhead. OMG, haha

WUT???!!!!! Then it is clearly a dirty lie! That or she has some peroxide stashed somewhere. Maybe he’ll buy her a wig?

Surely, Cook could afford to keep his GF in better lodging than a budget hotel?

The 4 star hotels are only for the blondes.

I agree, there should be no making fun of Cookie, he has done nothing to deserve it.

None of them ever do. What does that have to do with anything? LOL

Oops, ma bad. Jordin replaced Ciara? Again, I just don’t understand that. Oh well.

Cook is a single, 26 year old rock star. Good for him.

A hot young rock star has to have women around, that’s a given. I’m glad he’s not having to live like a monk while he’s on the road. Good for him.

If this is her, she is gorgeous.

http://www.modelmayhem.com/1218030

OK remind me not to read a Kris Interview at work… OMG

I was going in the closest one I could find. And they surround me at the urinals. Simon’s peeing next to me on the left and Randy’s on the right and they’re having this conversation. I was really nervous before and now I wasn’t nervous anymore. They pee like the rest of us.

And you didn’t talk to them while you were all in the bathroom?

No, I didn’t say anything. I was nervous, but my friend said I should have asked them, ‘Are you guys trying out?’ 

:lol_tb: :lol_tb:

By the way, what are men called who date younger women? Or is it only women who are made fun of?

Yeah she’s a redhead here but I suppose she could very well be blonde now
http://www.modelmayhem.com/pics.php?id=1218030
If thats her, yowsa!

On a completely different note..this was posted late last night in the headlines thread so in case anyone missed it he made an appearance at the AI Experience last night
http://twitvid.com/01DAC

Lambert, who has come out of the closet, weighed in, in his own way, wearing a homemade ‘Matt Giraud Is Bangin’ ‘  T-shirt. A general consensus is that if ‘Idol’s’  top prize went to the nicest contestant, he may have gone all the way.

The person that wore that Tshirt first and was referenced in a previous review for it, is probably going to be thrilled with Adam wearing that shirt. **off to to read their cute flailing, be right back**

Surely, Cook could afford to keep his GF in better lodging than a budget hotel?

The 4 star hotels are only for the blondes.

^Bwah.

I have a feeling it’s going to be a LOL type day. Tinawina, keep ‘em coming. Hee.

Love the Kris interview. It has been said a zillion times, but aren’t his honesty and candeur fresh in this star system?

The 4 star hotels are only for the blondes.

^ this made me LMFAO!!!

DIRTY OLD MEN… LEACHER.. “Oh my god thats so digusting”… LOL :biggrin_wp:

But yeah mostly woman find older men attractive up to a certain age difference. Not to say the guy’s do not fully appreciate OLDER Woman!!! but we won’t go there!!! LOL

Here is an article on mostly Matt Girard and the Idols coming to Pittsburg.

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09231/991833-388.stm

That was a nice article I liked the Matt and Adam parts.

DIRTY OLD MEN’ ¦ LEACHER..

Okay, you’re right. LOL. (actually it’s “lecher”)

Love the Kris interview. It has been said a zillion times, but aren’t his honesty and candeur fresh in this star system?

I actually do like that about him. With Adam, he’s interesting but also more jaded and even a little bit slick. Kris is going to be interesting to watch because he has so much growing to do.

P.S. I think Paula will be back, it’s looking that way. In a way I wish she wasn’t, because I just want Idol to do something fresh and different, after 8 years.

Wow, WLL for Adam in those reviews. I cringe at the disdain for Kris though. I saw them in Tampa and really liked Kris. It was just hard to concentrate on him after Hurricane Adam passed through and you are too busy trying to pick up whats left of your life!

The 4 star hotels are only for the blondes.

Holy cow. Jesus lord, look at those things. LOL. I changed my mind. Those definitely deserve a at least a Hilton Garden Inn.

Bwahahahaha. I’m tearing up here. Keep ‘em coming, tinawina. The Page Six writer wasn’t kiddin when he said “busty”. But jeez, tough crowd. If those only warrant a Hilton Garden Inn, what size are we talkin about for the Four Seasons? Hahahaha…

But all 3 of those reviews that were pro-Adam and anti-Kris (kind of) came from the same place, boston.com. So maybe it looked like more reviews than it actually was.

Yeah, dirty old man. Here’s another photo in Glamour. Who should Jessica Simpson date? David is on the list. But so is Billy Joel. Ew. Cuz, he’s old enough to be her grandfather. http://twitpic.com/eaddi

Yeah, I guess that would make her a Puma for Cook? Heh. Just heh.
–

And it looks like David showed up yesterday at the American Idol Experience in WDW. Here’s a twit video. Gave some good advice, too. http://www.twitvid.com/01DAC

‘IDOL’ CHAMP DAVID COOK’S OLDER WOMANDAVID Cook, whose singing career sky rocketed after being named ‘American Idol’  winner last year, has a special female fan he’s been keeping under wraps. She’s Kimberly Johnston, 35, a busty Atlanta model who travels with him as he tours the country
___________________

Oh this is epic. Time to step over to the good old fan sites and watch them go rabid.

I’ll never forget how much fun having Kim Cadwell as a girlfriend was. I LOLed so hard at the madness that erupted

I love how they say reps at 19 ignored their calls. What are they supposed to tell Page Six of all people? “We have the lowdown on his sex life and who he’s secretly bangin”??

I never saw much over there about a possible girlfriend’ ¦ though this might be the nurse that was rumored to be with him on one of his breaks.

I looked her up. She is both a nurse (forensic nurse, among a couple of specialties) and a model/ actress. Very very pretty and apparently smart as well.

Maybe she’s a golddigger, maybe she’s not. In her modeling profile, she sounds like she might be a pretty cool person, though.

This appears to be she, from Model Mayhem: http://www.modelmayhem.com/1218030

Actually, if you look at the bylines in each article, they are from different newspapers (Boston Globe, Boston Herald). Maybe the newspapers share this website, not sure. But the reviews are not all from the same source.

Boston.com is an aggregate site I think.
One is originally the Boston Herald. One is the Boston Globe, I’m not sure about the third.

Holy Schmoly! Even if this is all true, it sounds like a joke. A busty model aspiring actress/certified forensic nurse! What? Does she raise his blood pressure and then treat it afterwards?

Hee.

I thought so too! So I guess she doesn’t really look 35 does she? Okay, okay I know 35 isn’t that old. (Psst, I’m older, but I look it too.)

warwicksaint Adam Lambert ROCKS!! I have shot many celebs in my career and would have to say that he is the coolest by far!!

Can’t wait to see these pictures

I will NEVER get some fans obsession over who the Idols are dating (to the point of cyber stalking them and harassing them). It REALLY creeps me out!

P.S. I think Paula will be back, it’s looking that way. In a way I wish she wasn’t, because I just want Idol to do something fresh and different, after 8 years.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. I almost dread seeing her back.

BTW, I really love Jason Castro’s single! It’s fun and it fits him. I loved the Michael Slezak interview too. Great questions.

I really liked this part of the article about Adam’s support of Matt.

Me too. Matt didn’t look like his usual self yesterday in Boston, he needs some support from friends and Adam’s there for him. Love them.

But what is this general consensus of this “Idol’s” top prize? If it went to the nicest contestant (who?), he may have gone all the way.

I love the la times idol series!!!!!!!!!!! I want to know more about Allison too…..

“warwicksaint Adam Lambert ROCKS!! I have shot many celebs in my career and would have to say that he is the coolest by far!!”

- With all the positive remarks he is receiving from the people he is dealing with, Adam comes across as a person easy to work with. He is open to suggestions and not afraid to try new things.

For those who are interested in a poster of Adam’s RS cover

Bwah, seems Sassycatz has taken up the mantle . What’s a forensic nurse? Sounds scary. How do y’all find out about these things? Crazy internet investigative skills out there… and yeah, group me in with the curious (nosy) crowd who likes to joke around and make a little fun on the web. But harrassing and cyber stalking the ladies? Hope that doesn’t really happen…

Warwick is the 2nd professional top photographer that said nice and good thing about Adam (personality) as a celeb. The first one is Matthew Rolston who did photoshoot with Adam for the RS Cover. Yay!

Adam tweeter someone about their creative drawings. I saw them. They were Really creepy

he may have thought so too because his comment was polite but not enthused

Adam tweeter someone about their creative drawings. I saw them. They were Really creepy

Just notice that Adam twitter’s background and photo is changed. He uses one of the most recent shots. The background is the same for those three signed idols.

When I first saw the NYPost headline, I was mostly thinking, damn, must be a slow news day. But… if it brings out the snark from tinawina, sassycatz, and others, it works for me. [smile]

It’s so great to hear about the whole audition process from Kris in that ultimate interview, and of course Paula had to spill her drink forcing them to take a break and giving Kris a chance to go to the bathroom to pee next to Simon and Randy, Ha! do you see people? without her loopiness we wouldn’t have this stories, she’s going to be So missed….

Re Return to Cookie Rumor Land

Is it sad that I’m kind of proud of him for banging Nurse Naughty, if true? Cue jokes about night shifts.

But isn’t this the distinctive whiff of fantardery here?

according to sources at Da Tom maso restaurant. etc

Last Friday, she drove from Atlanta to see him perform in Knoxville, Tenn., sources say.

And the staff at a New York restaurant would know who this non-famous pretty lady is how, exactly? What sort of truly down on their luck celeb hunter would notice someone driving to a small tour gig in cosmopolitan Knoxville?

Some familiar crazyladies have been stalking the poor boy again, methinks. How soon before they show up to preach about the horribleness of single attractive people dating other single attractive people . . . and how very, very disappointed they are? Ladies, put down the pie and calm yourselves.

He’s been on fire at recent gigs, though. Must be getting his vitamins.

Paula walked up to me after I sang and whispered to my face that I was great and then there was this banter between the judges. Kara said, ‘OK, we have to stop this and figure out if he’s going to Hollywood.’  She asked Randy, ‘What do you think?’  He sat there for what seemed like forever and said, ‘I don’t know, man. I’m on the fence.’  I think he said he was on the fences with the horses because we were at the Kentucky Derby

what a way to end a crappy day! i love how kris makes me smile everytime i read about him..and this interview is the best ever! randy sitting on the fence! hehe

The group picture is from “Motown Week” (top 10) on AI. You’ll probably remember that the group traveled to Detroit to visit the old Motown studios.

From @KrisAllen4Real:

Wolfgang enjoying the NY scenery. http://twitpic.com/ehfsf
2 minutes ago from TwitterFon

It looks like Wolfgang is the new Roaming Gnome.

He’s been on fire at recent gigs, though. Must be getting his vitamins.

I figured he must have a new girlfriend- he’s worn several very flattering new outfits lately, which only seems to happen when there’s a girlfriend with some taste around!

As a woman who generally dates (somewhat) younger guys myself, I hate the term “cougar”. If David is dating this person and they are happy, good for them. What does it matter what ages they are? Either it works or it doesn’t.

Loved the 2nd part of Kris’ L.A. Times interview. Anyone else find it strange that Kris & Katy don’t have a t.v.? I wonder if that’s because they couldn’t afford one — he references a lot of pop culture stuff, and his family obviously has a t.v., so I found that a little odd.

Ignoring the Boston reviews — the crowd seemingly loved Kris and the recaps I’ve seen of last night’s show over on ontd_ai said he was great.

I couldn’t find the Pittsburgh paper interview on Matt…when I clicked the link, it said page not found or page missing. If someone finds a link that works, please post it again. Thanks.

Don’t really like Jason’s new single. The whistling at the beginning is strange and it sounds more like something I’d hear on a t.v. commercial for Target or somewhere like that, rather than on the radio as an actual single.

Another Kris “crazy” humor. This time is Anoop… :lol_tb:

I love his sense of humor..

Thanks Linda – I must have missed that part of the results show.

That picture of Kris at the LA Times article is a fantastic picture. So crisp and energized and handsome and natural, etc.

But I am real frustrated that, even in this detailed interview series, Kris hasn’t been asked about the sing off. So frustrated. I hate that we didn’t see it. No idea what he did: was he shocked? was he prepared with something? did he do something new or something the judges had heard before to remind them of why they like him? Oh–so frustrated.

Is it sad that I’m kind of proud of him for banging Nurse Naughty, if true? Cue jokes about night shifts.

LOL!

Hmmm…

Dave’s next cover?

Must be getting his vitamins.

Stop. This is just way to easy. I can’t deal.

Alright, I’m done with Cookie now. That’s what she said.

On to other idol news:

‘They know no one can replace Paula,’  a source said. The testing will help them see just how damaging it might be not to have Abdul back and figure out just what their new financial offer should be.

NNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I thought I liked Paula, but since they said she was leaving, I got used to the idea of her not being there. And I liked it! Me no likey Paula coming back.

Loved Kris’ interview! He is a pretty interesting guy, but he doesn’t get to show that off too often.

Slezak tweeted Allison and Giraud. I thought his faves were 1) Allison and 2) Kris. He has a new 2nd fave? Fickle guy.

MJ did i miss your interviews if not when will we get to read them?

But I am real frustrated that, even in this detailed interview series, Kris hasn’t been asked about the sing off.

He had a sing off? Against who? I missed it.

Lucky lucky lady who dates DC. Maybe he wants to follow Aston Kutcher’s path LOL. I remember he said Aston Kutcher is hot in his old Xanga blog. I am happy he has someone in his life. I love LOL day.

Loved the 2nd part of Kris’ L.A. Times interview. Anyone else find it strange that Kris & Katy don’t have a t.v.? I wonder if that’s because they couldn’t afford one ‘” he references a lot of pop culture stuff, and his family obviously has a t.v., so I found that a little odd.

What I found odder than them not having a TV was his living situation before he married Katy:

My wife and I don’t have a TV, so it was hard to keep up. But I was living with my mom last year around the time they were down to the Top Five of Season Seven and I started watching.

First, why does he say he was “living wih his mom?” Don’t his mom and dad live together? Are they divorced? Sorry, I really don’t know — I always assumed they were together. Second, I also didn’t know he was one of those twenty-something slackers still living with his parent(s). I thought he moved out when he went away to college? Did he move back? So many questions.

I figured he must have a new girlfriend- he’s worn several very flattering new outfits lately, which only seems to happen when there’s a girlfriend with some taste around!

Yeah, but how does that account for the continued long bangs…. No pun intended. :devil_tb:

By the way, what are men called who date younger women? Or is it only women who are made fun of?

Adam tweeter someone about their creative drawings. I saw them. They were Really creepy

David Cook’s girlfriend is gorgeous, lucky him.

But I am real frustrated that, even in this detailed interview series, Kris hasn’t been asked about the sing off. So frustrated. I hate that we didn’t see it. No idea what he did: was he shocked? was he prepared with something? did he do something new or something the judges had heard before to remind them of why they like him? Oh’“so frustrated.

I think the song was “Everything” by Michael Buble. It’s listed as a “second solo” during Hollywood week on his wiki page – and I remember him mentioning this song (very briefly) in an earlier interview.

Maybe the interviewer isn’t familiar with the Hollywood/Audition process (I know I am not – I’ve never seen much of it – and would like to know more about it). The way it reads, it sounds like his first audition to the meeting with the judges was on the same day. Maybe it was, but I don’t think that’s the way it usually works. I wish he had described the process and timeline more in detail.

Kris leaves out a lot of interesting details when he’s interviewed. He didn’t mention the reason he was home during the summer when he was 13 was that he was recovering from his rib/tumor removal surgery. He talks about he and Katy breaking up twice, but only elaborates on one time. I’d like to know if the second time was when he was writing the lyrics for “Brand New Shoes”.

Kris is very interesting when he really opens up. Unless the interviewer has heard/read every interview he’s (and his parents have) done, it’s difficult for the interviewer to know how much/where to probe for more info. Some of the richest info from Kris came from radio interviews, and those are hard to find.

How adorable is it that some (presuming here) child slipped that into Kris’ pocket? I can’t imagine any of the other Top 10 being thrown sports t-shirts at concerts and being given miniature clay animals. Somehow with Kris …. it fits.

Judging by the brain-exploding activity at ONTD, the t-shirt thing is here to stay. We’re probably going to see a t-shirt at each show from here on out.

I looked her up. She is both a nurse (forensic nurse, among a couple of specialties) and a model/ actress. Very very pretty and apparently smart as well.

DC’s dating a red-headed 35yr old nurse? Hey, *I’m* a 35yr old red-headed (ok, more strawberry blondish) nurse! No fan meltdown here. Makes me smile. Good for Cookie! Even if it’s unlikely to be true.

And damn, that poor Kris Allen just can’t catch a break from Boston.com, can he? Just because he’s strikingly different (from Mr. Fierce), doesn’t mean he’s a big Debbie Downer! Different strokes and all…

Sma11ie:

What’s a forensic nurse? Sounds scary.

From a website about forensic nursing: Forensic nurses may treat victims of violent crime, perform crime scene investigations or work as detectives in a clinical setting to help police catch and convict perpetrators. One of the most important duties in forensic nursing is assisting in the physical and emotional recovery of patients while protecting their rights.

It’s an interesting job, but surely not as interesting as hangin’ w/DC… LOL

Part 2 of Kris’ interview was really good. Didnt’ like part 1, he came of as a reluctant school boy unwillingly answering the teachers questions, IMO.

New Kris interview

Q: Are you getting pointers from previous “Idol” contestants?

A: The two people I’ve probably talked to the most would be Chris Daughtry and David Cook. Those guys have been super-successful.

Having success like either one of those guys would be great.

Maybe the bad press is helping Kris in a weird way.. makes us all want to protect him… :guns_tb:

Kris’s parents are married…probably just an oversight (he may have been speaking with her prior to the interview and she was on his mind)

On the TV thing, I think I read somewhere that Katy suggested they not buy a TV during their 1st year of marriage and Kris agreed to it. I’m sure she wanted quality time with her husband. The way things turned out however, I doubt that it mattered. (sorry Katy, a few more months before you get to spend time together with or without that TV) As for slackerism, he hadn’t graduated yet, and only married in Sept. so…I think he’s in the clear on that one. Now, if he moves BACK in, that’s another thing!

hmm, i recall reading that he and Katy agreed not to have a tv for their first yr of marriage….so maybe it was intentional? like how some couples dont place a tv in their bedroom, for obvious reasons

also someone was wondering about the Kris’ sing off? I will try to recall the exact interview/article, but he did talk in more detail about it…he sang the Michael Buble’s Everything, and he was either the 1st face-off or one of the first, hence them both using a mic and later contestants not using one. (producers decided it wasn’t needed). someone on this board knows the kid who he sang against…maybe they can come to my rescue w. more details

I bet if David was dating a hometown-type girl like Kris’ wife, there wouldn’t be as much discussion. I think the description of “busty model” is controversial in itself.

SAY goodbye to “The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet.”

Twentieth Television has canceled the talk show (Mike Jerrick, Juliet Huddy) after two seasons.

It will end production in June with new episodes airing throughout the summer, according to mediaweek.com

An Adam appearance would have had to be filmed in June or earlier, but it would still be an as yet unseen appearance, according to the above blurb.

I think these are reruns. “Mike & Juliet” was cancelled; the last first-run episode was in June. The show is in reruns until it goes off the air in Sept. “Regis & Kelly” often shows some reruns this month, so the hosts can go on vacation.

ETA: I think these are the appearances that were aired during the Kris/Adam NY media blitz in late May.

Apparently the person who wrote the most recent review wrote a piece after Kris won talking about being an Adam fan and that that she didn’t like Kris at all. So, I think she was predisposed to NOT like him. The thing that bugs me about Adam vs Kris is this: why does it have to be that way? If Adam’s not your cuppa, then say that. Don’t say he was terrible…blah, blah,blah. If Kris isn’t your style, then say ” I don’t like his music”.It pisses me off when people say Adam sounded like a “whale” or Kris can’t sing. Neither one of those things is true. Just say something like “Adam was Great…he had awesome energy and really revved up the crowd. While I didn’t enjoy Kris’s set personally, he has a nice voice and a lot of people seemed to love his low-key persona.” See, it’s not that hard to say what you think without propping up some agenda!!!

LOL, yup. Same reason his fans probably had a meltdown w. Kim Caldwell….she was too “skanky” for sweet ol’ Cookie. And wasnt there a photo a month ago of him and another barbie clone? same reaction. Call me crazy, I was hoping for Carrie Underwood/David Cook connection.

That is a big part of why idol is the #1 SHOW on tv.Its like a big soap,love and hate runs deep in the idol world.

I agree completely, but people are looking for a response. If you write a nice review finding all the best things about all the Idols, then no one cares, see? It’s a “meh” review. Saying that Adam is a screechey whale and Kris is an untalented, boring loser– that gets the review noticed.

Adam Lambert (‘ American Idol’ ), Aug. 21 on ‘The Morning Show With Mike & Juliet’ ; Aug. 26 on ‘Life With Regis and Kelly’ 

Yeah, I’m 100 percent positive it’s a repeat. Regis and Kelly go on vacation all time time (Regis is essentially a guest host anymore, which is fine with me. I think the show is way better without him). Kelly is off this week. But the last two weeks of August, returning the Tuesday after Labor Day, is when they entire staff is on vacation.

I really don’t see these reviewers who make comparisons between Kris and Adam as having an “agenda.” I think the way the tour is set up, comparisons are inevitable. Kris follows Adam, he is the “winner,” the expectation is that he should exceed or at least match Adam in talent and “star quality.” If the reviewer doesn’t see see it that way, he or she would be dishonest not to say so. And if the producers of the tour had wanted to avoid the comparisons, they would have set up the whole thing differently so Kris didn’t directly follow Adam. Even though they are two completely different artists, it’s entirely fair to compare them IMO, at least while they are on this tour together.

Apparently the person who wrote the most recent review wrote a piece after Kris won talking about being an Adam fan and that that she didn’t like Kris at all.

I kind of spot those rather easily .. they speak in generalities (bad ones) about him. Hard to believe that when so many people like an artist and then that the reviewer can’t figure one positive thing to say.. huh.. it doesn’t mean the reviewer can’t express his personal one. I must admit that I really prefer the reviews from the people on this site than most of the professional ones

I agree, will. The thing is, that in real life, it is unlikely that an artist like Kris and one like Adam would ever end up sharing a stage. The AI show and the subsequent tour sets up these awkward comparisons of singers whose styles are polar opposites of each other. It would be nice if each person was evaluated on his/her own merits, but that won’t happen till they’re out on their own.
I’ve watched AI for years, but never really followed the tours before, but I’m thinking this is the first time they’ve had to deal with a situation where one person (not the winner) totally blows everyone else out of the water in terms of presence, charisma, and performance style. Must be a weird place for the producers to be, and good for them for giving Adam so much artistic freedom. Of course, it’s all good for them in terms of $$$.

That Slezak picture with their new mascot is adorable. I always enjoy Kris’s tweets.

I would be very surprised if 19E shafted Kris–not only does Jive seem extremely enthusiastic about him so far, but they would be idiots to do that when he’s so talented and marketable.

kat mcphee’s new single is called “had it all”. it’ll premiere next tuesday.
the video is being shot in LA as we speak

Have some questions regarding their contracts.

So as the winner of AI, Kris has a contract in which 19 guarantees to invest at least 1 million on making his music (or first album)? And regardless of the sales of his first album, Kris will get his share in each dollar?

While in Adam and Allison contracts, there is not promise of such amount of investment? And they need to first pay back the investment and then get some shares from the remained?

Latest Twitter from Adam:

@thedavidcook just joined Twitter! Add him! He rocks and is such a genuine guy!

That’s two tweets in a row with no multiple exclamation points… I wonder if Adam is okay…

Oh holy crap! RCA tweeted that DC is on Twitter now!

Aww, I liked that he was a holdout on Twitter. Crap.

Has this been posted yet? David Cook has evidently succumbed to the lure of twitter.

More like succumbed to the pressure. Let’s see if will be as negligent as he is with vlogs, or uses it as another outlet for random hilarity (I’m starting to brighten up).

Adam does love his exclamation points, but no typos at least!

For anyone that might of been going(not likely)

It looks like Disney Canceled the last 3 shows of the Demi/David tour, Im guessing most likely to do with camp rock.

Supposedly the AC show was sold out earlier this morning and then just found out it was canceled. Then we found out about the last 2 shows.

Fansofdavid confirmed it with management.

How funny — I was just thinking the same thing!

Has this Kris interview in the Cleveland Plain Dealer been posted yet?

http://www.cleveland.com/popmusic/index.ssf/2009/08/american_idol_winner_kris_alle.html

1. On his upcoming album:

We’ll have to see when we have a really good group of songs. We have some that are really good that’ll probably end up on the album, but we’re still writing stuff, so you never know. Stuff can get bumped off. Maybe we’ll write better stuff.

2. And yeah he really doesn’t care that Adam gets more attention:

I’m a low-key guy. I don’t demand any attention myself. I’m not saying that Adam does. It just kind of comes with who he is. I lay low and do my thing.

3. Oh, and the Kradam fans will just LOVE this (sorry, all you people who want Kradam to go away…)

On our days off, me and Adam are usually doing things together.

I love it when Adam gives shoutout to people. I think this is his way conveying how much they mean to him and he gets a lot of love back.

thedavidcook Wowza!!! This Twitter thing is growing fast. Thanks @adamlambert for the add announcement!6 minutes ago from web

3. Oh, and the Kradam fans will just LOVE this (sorry, all you people who want Kradam to go away’ ¦)

Oooh… I wonder what he means by that… lol

But no, it’s great to hear that they’re still really good friends. And have days off.

More thoughts from the Boston Globe reviewer on last nights concert:

http://www.boston.com/ae/tv/blog/2009/08/39idol39_were_y.html

David tweeted thanking Adam for the shout out. David already has 1380 followers!

David Cook is following 4 people on twitter — Adam, Kris, Chris Daughtry and some photographer dude who I think is like the official AI photog. He hasn’t added Archie yet!

This is the first wave of what every political consultant knows to be true: homophobia is, literally, going to eventually die. Young people do not care. (And at the concert a whole lotta ‘young at heart’s’  really did not care.) Sure hate of every misguided stripe will always be with us. But in America, seriously, Adam Lambert ‘” and the adorable Kradam bromance included ‘” has demonstrated a change has already come

If you haven’t read the concert review from FifthHouseSun-Run,before it disappears off the main page! Make sure to read her follow-up comments. Beautifully written!

Okay, first things first ‘“ WTH am I not getting Adam’s tweets? Loving that new pic, BTW.

I really don’t think an appearance on Regis and Kelly in May, will sell an album at Thanksgiving.

Vada, I will bet anything he has another promotional tour in November. They ALL will when their albums drop.

Kris will get booked because he’s the Idol, if nothing else. Adam will get booked because he’s, well, Adam (see Top 50 talk show guests linked above). If anything, Allison may have a tough time getting talk show bookings, but I doubt it. Jive has relationships with all the talk shows. They’ll all do the circuit.

David Cook is following 4 people on twitter ‘” Adam, Kris, Chris Daughtry and some photographer dude who I think is like the official AI photog. He hasn’t added Archie yet!

Does it look to anyone else that it’s DCO and not David Cook that is running that twitter?

I think Adam has reached 100 tweets. I’m going to add one more picture than I will officialy have 1000 AI related pictures on my iPod. All of them are AI related except for 4. and there are a few duplicates. but yeah I’m going to go find an awesome pic!

Does it look to anyone else that it’s DCO and not David Cook that is running that twitter?

Yeah, I think that’s the case. I think this was just set up by some intern. If it is David, we’ll be able to tell over the next few days I think.

oh no. someone (not Kris or Anoop) made an actual twitter page for Wolfgang (or Wolfgang Allen-Desai). Sort of like the one people have made for Adam’s micstand…

my 1000th picture is another one of Adam’s audition!!!

Disney sucks rotten eggs. Geesh! There are several people flying in from other countries just to see David in some of those cancelled shows. Some are already on their way. And NOW Disney decides to announce cancellations? Like TWO DAYS in advance? Unreal. And who the hell cancels SOLD OUT SHOWS in Atlantic City????!!!! Someone better be deathly ill or dying. You don’t do that for “scheduling conflicts”. Grrrrrrr…..

David Archuleta! Run as fast and as far away from Disney as you can. Don’t pass Go! Do not collect $200!

I like multiple exclamation points and lots of …… :sad_tb:

He hasn’t added Archie yet!

Does it look to anyone else that it’s DCO and not David Cook that is running that twitter?

He hasn’t added his brother yet! And Andrew hasn’t added him either! Well, I use “he” loosely, cuz yeah… I’m thinking it’s an intern as well. We’ll see if DC posts some things himself down the road. I almost wish the name was DavidCookOfficial or something to differentiate– so fans don’t think they’re necessarily talking to DC… besides which, “thedavidcook” is such a boring twitter handle, not isn’t nearly as funny as something DC would choose. Something like KrisAllen4Real and Allison4Realzzz would’ve been fun. I’m kinda meh. Anyway, this is kinda big news in DC fan-land, so I hope the twitter will provide us some good stuff nonetheless. I’m actually surprised the first tween seems to have been last week, but I guess no one knew until RCA and Adam tweeted…?

Okay, first things first ‘“ WTH am I not getting Adam’s tweets? Loving that new pic, BTW.

His last three tweets have been @ replies to people. If you’re not following any of those people, you won’t get them on your phone, and they won’t show up on your Twitter homepage.

Does it look to anyone else that it’s DCO and not David Cook that is running that twitter?

I thought of that immediately. It looks like something his label talked him into and oddly enough, I think those Pork Beans videos, his articulate interviews, and his stage presence/antics were the instigators of their interest in him being on twitter, because — as they say in the fandom — no one sells David, like David. But, whether he, himself, actually uses it is questionable. We’ll see. Right now, it looks like DavidCookOfficial, Ltd. You know, totally corporate.

Not only does Slezak still love Kris, but it looks like they are working out a shared custody agreement for Wolfgang.

Will we soon see Kris making a video where he interviews a skunk?

Yeah, that crossed my mind, but then I thought, “Well no one’s following DC, he just got his account five minutes ago.” It didn’t occur to me that people were checking Adam’s page to get these ‘“ duh!

Micheal Sarver Twitter.

So I just want to say to u guys that wait on us outside at the arenas. Thank for loving us so much.
But please don’t put your health at risk for us. Hate to bust ur bubble but we are normal people and def not worth u passing out or having..
an asthma attack like a girl did today.
We appreciate how highly u think of us and in turn we appreciate u to much to see u do that to yourself. So please use caution. We want….
this to be a fun experience and not dangerous. We love u all and take care out there!!!
The girl was so determind to get my autograph that she stood there not able to hardly breathe until I got to her. Hurt my heart.
I’m not saying not to come just use caution. Also we don’t get to the arenas until well after 1 and never come out until after 2.

David C found Archie on Twitter – don’t know why that got me all happy

I’m certain that Kris and Adam are friends, but perhaps Kris misspoke when he said this. Aside from the Elle photoshoot, when is the last time Adam and Kris been together on their “day off”? Mostly they have been recording and working on songs in different cities. And the few times Adam has been out, he’s been with his pre-Idol friends, not Kris or any of the other Idols. (SF, LA, NY and Atlanta Adam was out with “old” friends).

Bwah!I want Wolfgang to go on a Ficus Grows Between Us now! Wolfgang will make the web-show rounds- after Slezak, Jim C and David Cook .

This from DAVID

Actually, despite my initial scepticism, I’m thinking some of the tweets could be DC… only problem is, somehow in my mind, I can only hear Terry’s voice as I read these tweets– with the bad Jersey accent when he says “twittah”… haha.

aawwwww cassidy’s so happy I love his tweets! He even has his own fan group now!!!!

I came up with that to help me follow a great tweetville party.Hate when my twitter gets flooded so started to use it for that too.Works great.

OMG – I actually met All Time Scary Fan today (ATSF). I know I am on this blog way too much for my own good, but really I have nothing on this person. Scared the shit out of me. So NOW I think I know what MJ alludes to every once in a while. I will never be the same.

Matt tweeted about David cook’s twitter too

Can you imagine when Adam announces his single/CD/video?

Matt tweeted about David cook’s twitter too

Yeah, and now I’m sad, cuz I’m now more than convinced it’s not DC himself.

Matt says: Everyone add my boy @thedavidcook !! good to see you’re finally on here. Away with the imposters!! We shoulda did a bubble tweet last week!

The response: Thanks Matt (@MGiraudOfficial)!!! Have a great show!

I reserve the right to be wrong (heh), but to me, that ^^^ sounds nothing like David Cook. WTH, though, why pose? If you’re DCO, why not just say you’re not DC rather than pretend to be a person/the man himself?! Why pretend to tweet back your “boy” Matt with a generic, lame-ass “Have a great show!”?!?! UGH! This twitter account better prove to be a good marketing tool, and not dilute the awesomeness that is DC himself. I love his blogs and vlogs, sparse as they are because they are DAVID COOK. I don’t want some non-witty intern to dilute the David Cook’s awesomeness to the tweeting public… End rant/

3. Oh, and the Kradam fans will just LOVE this (sorry, all you people who want Kradam to go away’ ¦)

On our days off, me and Adam are usually doing things together.

I’m certain that Kris and Adam are friends, but perhaps Kris misspoke when he said this. Aside from the Elle photoshoot, when is the last time Adam and Kris been together on their ‘day off’ ? Mostly they have been recording and working on songs in different cities. And the few times Adam has been out, he’s been with his pre-Idol friends, not Kris or any of the other Idols. (SF, LA, NY and Atlanta Adam was out with ‘old’  friends).

I think Kris knows what he is saying. Why assume that he misspoke? I find it sad that some appear to have such an issue with Kris and Adam being friends’ ¦..and possibly spending time together as friends.

I actual believe that Kris and Adam were, are and will continue to be friends. I just don’t see when they had time to be spending time together. Even on the day of the Elle shoot, Warwick Saint took Kris’ picture first and then Kris went off to another recording session. Kris seems to be completely booked on his “days off” as is Adam — that was my point.

Actually, despite my initial scepticism, I’m thinking some of the tweets could be DC

I hope not. I like to think he doesn’t end every sentence with at least one or more exclamation points. But I think that is partly the curse of twitter. Everyone sounds dumb.

I am going to go with clearone on this. Kris and Adam have recorded/written in different cities (Kris went to LA while Adam stayed in AZ, this week Adam was in NY where it seems Kris stayed in Boston) on their days off a couple of times. More often they are flying to the same places, occasionally with Allison. We don’t know what they do in the evenings or who they hang out with at the hotel. We do know they listen to each other’s tracks, which I would guess is a shared activity. On the whole, I think Kris is being candid.

Not Adams news per se but some scoopage. I had to call Warwick Saint’s agent about an advertising job I am working on and decided to broach the subject of the infamous photoshoot. First of all, Warwick’s agent had only nice things to say about Adam. Said he was the coolest guy and totally easy to work with, no diva at all. She also said that the infamous Michelin Man/Big Boy picture that got leaked on Twitter is just one of many, many looks and that the other stuff that didn’t leak is amazing—a mix of Elvis and David Bowie (whatever that means). She says that Adam learned a lesson about mixing friendship and business because the guy who twittered those images was a friend who Adam invited to the shoot and was not part of Warwick’s crew. Sony was livid about the leak and Adam wasn’t too happy either.

Very interesting, bee. Thanks for the info!

I think Jordin is very successful. She sold a huge amount of singles with her last CD, and went platinum. I think she grossed over $15M dollars on CD and single sales from album #1.

Of course her album sales are weak with #2 but the first single is a bona fide hit.

Her biggest weakness to me is in touring. So far, she seems to always be an opening act and not pulling in any money herself. Maybe that will change with a few more singles.

Does she ever even play any paying gigs at fairs like Clarkson, Pickler, Cook, etc?

Even on the day of the Elle shoot, Warwick Saint took Kris’ picture first and then Kris went off to another recording session. Kris seems to be completely booked on his ‘days off’  as is Adam ‘” that was my point.

Was Warwick Saint the photographer for the Elle shoot?? I thought he was the photographer for the album cover shoot done later that week. Am I just confused?

Sorry to hear Adam lost a friend… sigh bound to happen but it sucks.

David C found Archie on Twitter – don’t know why that got me all happy

The first thing I did after I clicked the follow button and read the few tweets he made was to check if he was following Archie. That is how much of a dork I am. Cookleta liiiives! What made me really happy was that the only S7 contestants he’s following right now are Archie and Brooke. Add DC in and you’ve got my Top 3 S7 contestants. I am a happy (and also pathetic) fangirl. :laugh_tb:

Tweet from yesterday, but I didn’t see it posted:

SydDuran: Just listened to new @adamlambert single at Hollywood Records. Sooo good! 1:54 PM Aug 18th from UberTwitter

Sys Duran just finished recording her debut album. Here’s her MySpace page:
http://www.myspace.com/valora

Hollywood Records (Disney) is distributed thru Universal so there is no connection to Sony/BMG. I can’t figure out what Adam’s single would be doing at Hollywood Records but I also don’t see why she would make this Tweet up.

ETA: another tweet from someone else who claims to have heard it — but it was a fake:

natsii: GUYS: A friend of mine took my laptop… I was logged into twitter.. she lied about me hearing the song. It’s not true. I’d kill to hear it.

Who is producing the movie 2012? Perhaps it’s that single….

Ugh.

I’ve got to start tonight’s concert thread, but I AM coming back to delete the latest fan war.

Actaully, I’m closing this thread for now. Sorry. This will be the norm from now on. When a thread devolves into a petty fan war? I close it for clean up. Then I decide whether to open it back up or not.

THANK YOU BEESIMS SO MUCH
That gives me hope that Adam’s other pictures are fantabulous. And it makes the whole situation make more sense… like why Jasen loved Adam so much and was so unprofessional about the whole thing. He is (was? I hope not) Adam’s friend.
But oh man, I’ll BET Sony was livid. Sucks for Adam too. No more trusting people implicitly, first lesson of the biz.

Q3 – there was some conversation yesterday (I think – since I find myself here all hours, it’s all blurring together!) about Hollywood Records. Someone said that they handle a lot of soundtracks and it’s probably the 2012 soundtrack.

Thanks u beesims!!!! I already posted this in the concert thread. But yeah I have lots of questions but can’t remember most of them now. I’ll post them tommorow too maybe. If the agent a mix of Bowie and elvis does that mean elvis hair?! I like elvis but LOVE emo. I don’t think jasen was his friend from the starstruck way he sounded in tweets. I think the agent got that wrong. will post more tommorow( maybe).

Ugh. Not real happy about the DC twitter thing. I was really happy he was so resistant, but I guess 19 finally got to him. I’m 99.9% sure it’s not him. None of those tweets sound anything like him. (C’mon – Wowza??) Also, some of Cookie’s own fans can get pretty nasty when he does something they don’t approve of. Comments from them will be all over his twitter account in the future. Hope it’s kept just for promo and marketing.

The 35 y.o. model/nurse girlfriend, though? Cracks me up. I’ll believe it when David says it’s true. He must just shake his head at this kind of stuff.

THANKS for the scoop. So sad that mess had to happen. I feel bad or Jasen as I dont think he intended for any of the outrage to happen and he might have lost Adam as a friend in the process.

Q3,

Hollywood Records is Disney and they do a lot of Soundtracks…it is also the label for Queen and that is probably why Mays was privy to the recording. If the song is being played it probably bodes well for it being included in the 2012 Soundtrack.

Not to start anything but didn’t the guy who tweeted that picture tweet other pictures?Didn’t he say all day that no pictures without adams ok.Could be a few people learned a lesson.

Maybe it was kinda a good thing that photo leaked. Free marketing research.

I don’t think jasen was his friend from the starstruck way he sounded in tweets.

Jasen Kaplan could have been a friend of Drake’s or Adam’s. This was one of his twitters the day he cried about people accusing him of things he hadn’t done.

@MrLaBryFYP coming to LA next week! we should grab the LA peeps and all get a drink! had fun on Thursday!

Anyway,

Ooh, beesims, good work! To clarify, was the offending tweeting friend Jasen, then? He is a friend, was a friend?

And Elvis/Bowie, eh? I’m intrigued.

I don’t think all those idols would be tweeting if it was another fake Cook Twitter. 19 probably told them to do that for validation.

What I was posting before mj closed the thread:

Actually, despite my initial scepticism, I’m thinking some of the tweets could be DC

I dunno. I’ve read and listened to a ton of DC interviews and he just doesn’t seem like a “wowza” type of guy. Sounds like an RCA intern myself.

What I am now posting after mj re-opened the thread:

Someone just deleted the wowza tweet. I’m thinking he may have taken over. His brother has also now added him and he has responded back to Andrew.

RCA sent this tweet when cooks account opened.
http://twitter.com/RCAMusic/status/3411400635

Its real

I’m 99.9% sure it’s not him. None of those tweets sound anything like him.

Considering the impact Tweets are now having (Adam’s friends can attest to that both positively and negatively) I think it is pretty safe to say that DC has been asked by RCA to get a twitter account going.

And as far as the negative tweets from fans…the delete key is easy to use so David doesn’t have to worry to much about reading all the trash talk. I’m sure Adam and Kris delete as fast as they receive, sometimes. But, sad as it may seem to some, Tweets are now a very good PR tool….but DC don’t give up your personal texting on your phone….better to stay in touch with friends that way.

If it’s an RCA employee and not Cook… he should say so. Because if people find out afterwards they’ll feel lied to and that’s not good.

The account is definitely real because notices were sent out through his Facebook and MySpace, and it’s on the front of DCO.

Yeah I think he got a hold of the account and deleted that “Wowsa” tweet and possibly tweeted himself thanking people for the adds. That’s the only tweet thats all lowercase.

On our days off, me and Adam are usually doing things together.

I’m certain that Kris and Adam are friends, but perhaps Kris misspoke when he said this. Aside from the Elle photoshoot, when is the last time Adam and Kris been together on their ‘day off’ ?

I kinda doubt this too.

So Sony was livid about the spacesuit picture leaking? What a shock!! I guess Adam learned a lesson the hard way.

Aw, I missed all kinds of fun today! Bummer that DC caved on Twitter but, yeah, I doubt he had a choice… I’ll still follow him, however, lol.

I just got an email from Pennyroyal, that they are offering Adam’s designed pendant to go on sale for seven days only then retire the design permanently. Starts Monday, 8/24.

http://pennyroyalsilver.com/

Not to start anything but didn’t the guy who tweeted that picture tweet other pictures?Didn’t he say all day that no pictures without adams ok.Could be a few people learned a lesson.

He said that after he tweeted then deleted the picture. Jasen must have missed the memo that the relationship was over because he tweeted Drake a few days later saying he would be in LA and they should get together.

Q3: Even on the day of the Elle shoot, Warwick Saint took Kris’ picture first and then Kris went off to another recording session. Kris seems to be completely booked on his ‘days off’  as is Adam ‘” that was my point.

CindyM: Was Warwick Saint the photographer for the Elle shoot?? I thought he was the photographer for the album cover shoot done later that week. Am I just confused?

No you’re not confused — I am!! Too many photographers for me to keep straight.

Joe Zee – Creative Director for Elle, I do not recall seeing who shot this

Warwick Saint – Adam’s album cover photo session

Robert Sebree – LA Photoshoot for 19E – PR photos

Some tweet from MrJoeZee about Elle session — confirms it’s the December issue of Elle:

In the meantime, I told Kradison how much love you all have for them and they were all genuinely touched. No joke.

Okay, now I love that little skunk.

Ooh, beesims, good work! To clarify, was the offending tweeting friend Jasen, then? He is a friend, was a friend?

I only know Adam was unhappy about the pictures being leaked, nothing about the current state of his friendship with Jasen and I wouldn’t want to start any unfounded rumors. Jasen was definitely the source of the leak and he even tried to cover it up.

How did Jasen try to cover it up? He had been tweeting about Adam all day, then it showed up on his Twitter page.

Thanks beesims for the scoop. I guess RCA lets those Robert Sebree PR pictures out to counteract the leak of the brown mechilin pic.

I guy tweeted like 3 or was it 4 pictures all day.The last 1 got major backlash so i would think he was told delete it.He deleted everything all of it.He said a few times he wouldn’t put up nothing that wasn’t ok by adam.May be last picture wasn’t but if no picture was to be up it would of stopped long before the last picture.

Jasen was definitely the source of the leak and he even tried to cover it up.

Oh, I’m sure he did. If I were him I’d get out of town and not leave a forwarding address. Lulz.

How did Jasen try to cover it up? He had been tweeting about Adam all day, then it showed up on his Twitter page.

I was told he denied being the one who took the pictures when Sony and Warwick confronted him. Not very smart.

Did anyone see the other pics? I only saw that Michelin one.

I saw the other pics. They weren’t of Adam, they were of a jacket, some eyepieces and the location I believe.

Did anyone see the other pics? I only saw that Michelin one.

Yes. They were just pics of a jacket, a mask, eyewear, other props. Not of Adam.

I was told he denied being the one who took the pictures when Sony and Warwick confronted him. Not very smart.

I was annoyed about that. So he thinks that by deleting his twitter entries and posting a bitchy entry saying “I’m sick of being blamed for things I didn’t do,” it’s like it didn’t happen? Um, the internet doesn’t work like that. Deleting the entries was right, but it still happened.

ETA: Annoyed by his attitude, I mean. I didn’t know until now that he denied it to Sony and Warwick too.

Daughtry on AGT right now.

Part 3 of Kris’ LA Times interview is up…

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/americanidoltracker/2009/08/kris-allen-the-ultimate-interview-part-three.html

ETA: Annoyed by his attitude, I mean. I didn’t know until now that he denied it to Sony and Warwick too.

We don’t know that as fact.I do know what is fact about the guy tweeting ALL DAY i was here and saw it with my own eyes.I think he was mad at getting all the blame from tweetville HATERS.I can’t believe the guy tweets all day and nobody knew it doesn’t work like that.If he could tweet about adams shoot all day and nobody knew then he should be hired by the CIA.from the 1st picture until the last (nitemare pic)was all over the idol world internet.

Okay. But in the end, he made a huge mess for one of his friends because frankly, he wanted attention from the Adam fans. And then he’s surprised they turned on him? I never caught a whiff of him feeling apologetic or sorry for Adam’s sake, just put upon for his own sake. That’s all I’m saying.

And I’m wondering whether Warwick and his crew ever knew that Jasen had been taking all these pictures, or whether Adam even knew how many Jasen was taking. Badly handled all around, but no real harm done this time. Adam seems like a people pleaser, but he will have to wait on helping out his friends until he’s established himself first.

That kris interview is amazing. simply. amazing.

It’s one thing to make a blunder, but it’s another to deny it. I hope Adam learned from this.

Okay. But in the end, he made a huge mess for one of his friends

Yes but in the end if he made a hugh mess for 1 of his friends.That would be between him and adam.We don’t know if he told adam he was sorry.Maybe he did and him and adam are OK.

But in the end maybe adam said its ok to tweet all the pictures and jason took the hit for adam.Wow that would be a true friend wouldn’t it.We may never know the whole truth but i don’t trash people like jason just because adam had a bad picture tweeted not knowing all the facts.

I don’t think the picture got that much attention. so it’s all good.

Of course I can’t blame Jasen. I don’t know what happened, but I’m guessing that Adam said “sure, tweet a few pictures” and Jasen (exercising terrible judgment) thought Michelin Man would be a good idea. Obviously I didn’t bombard him with hate or tweet about it. Hey– all’s well that ends well. No harm done this time.

I’m really starting to like him – he’s more than Adam’s jacket designer

The 3rd part of the L.A. Times interview was Kris was really interesting to learn about how he goes about rearranging songs. How he does chord progressions and whatnot in his head before trying to put it together on his guitar. And how he goes with his gut on what he wants to do, even if his friends are doubting his instincts.

But seriously, can he get through an interview without mentioning Adam? LOL — I don’t know if he can!!! It’s like it’s ingrained in him

Oh, and LOL to his immediate reaction to being named the winner — “Yay! The season’s over…”

Cassidy is adorable.

But seriously, can he get through an interview without mentioning Adam? LOL ‘” I don’t know if he can!!! It’s like it’s ingrained in him

I think he mentions him like 9 times. Okay then. I love how Kris and Adam both respect each other as musicans.

And Kris seems to have some really good musical instincts and it’s good to read Kris articulate them.

Cool interview, and not going to lie, the Adam and Kradam friendship stuff adds to it for me.

Oh and I like that both Kris and Adam were subversive in their own ways during Country week. Kris did his by getting to do a Bob Dylan song he wanted to do, that was covered by Garth Brooks. Very cool. And they were both did very different takes of disco on disco night. Though forget about shopping in the ladies department, I wish someone on the panel would have mentioned that SWHFTM was never a disco to begin with.

Here is a link to an article where Danny pretty much says he got a record deal

Icassidy Haley dropped off the charts

Well, just out of the Top 10 Electronic. He’s at #12 now. But no doubt he’ll continue dropping, unless he gets more press. Anyone who was going to buy his EP from hearing about it via Adam’s tweet has probably already bought it.

Aw, his comments at the beginning of that actually made me tear up a little. That was sweet to see him so appreciative. But as much as I wanted to like his acoustic version of Daylight Breaks, the version on his EP is waaay better IMO. It’s my favorite of all the songs.

But seriously, can he get through an interview without mentioning Adam? LOL ‘” I don’t know if he can!!! It’s like it’s ingrained in him.

Kris is such a great guy, and so talented. I do think he tends to deflect, maybe not being completely comfortable talking all about himself. But I really like hearing about how he and Adam helped each other out, focusing on competing against themselves rather than each other. It makes me love them both even more.

Someone just deleted the wowza tweet. I’m thinking he may have taken over. His brother has also now added him and he has responded back to Andrew.

He responded back to Andrew? Don’t see it. I’m thinking the response to Matt wasn’t DC either, but maybe he decided to leave it? I mean, he’s never used so many exclamation points. Also, is he following a fake Carrie Underwood? It doesn’t say Verified, and it has so few followers. Well, few for Carrie standards.

He is so cute — doesn’t have a special person in his life. What a touching story about a mother whose son wanted to know about marrying a man, and she wrote to Cassidy for advice.

I seriously doubt it’s actually David Cook himself doing the tweeting. Here is the evidence…

Exhibit A:
“DCO has succumbed to the Twitter Phenom…..spread the word, nerds!! ”
It is DCO that has succumbed to the Twitter Phenom, not David Cook.

Exhibit B:
Under Name, he is listed as “David Cook Official.” If it were really him, wouldn’t he call himself “David Cook.”

Exhibit C:
Under Bio, it states, “This is the Official David Cook twitter page. All others are fake.” That isn’t even a biography of any sort.

I rest my case.

Uh oh, @realbrookewhite has tweeted @thedavidcook. She’s been taken in, just like everyone else…

@thedavidcook from the brookie to the cookie… Welcome to the Twitter madness my friend… So glad you could join us!

I think it is fake. I was told that Carrie doesn’t twitter.

And they were both did very different takes of disco on disco night. Though forget about shopping in the ladies department, I wish someone on the panel would have mentioned that SWHFTM was never a disco to begin with.

Truthiness – curious – SWHFTM not “disco to begin with” – what was it then? I remember it being played in dance clubs in the early 80′s (okay, a little post disco).

I liked this part of Kris’ interview better than the first two parts – he elaborated a little more and I learned some things I hadn’t heard in other interviews.

While I thought ANS was great, “Falling Slowly” (because it was an unusual choice and he sung it so beautifully) and SWHFTM were early standout performances. SWHFTM was a genius move, IMO. If the song had been done like that before, I certainly had never heard it. If Adam pushed for Disco Week as Kris said – it was ultimately manna from Heaven (no religious pun intended) for Kris. I completely understood what Paula was saying in her critique. Women often sing songs made popular by men, but the reverse is rarely true. While the night worked out well for Adam too, I think Kris really advanced his case on Disco night (he’s also a good little dancer).

This segment of the interview he does mention Adam quite a bit, but I would expect that. They were roommates and did finish the competition together. Only 14 other people have shared that experience (and everything that comes after it) – and many of those 14 were not really friends. The finale of this season would not have been as satisfying with any two other competitors.

Okay, David Cook interviewed a rubber chicken and now Stephen Colbert is interviewing a dining room table. Is this a trend?

Chris Daughtry is following that same Carrie account too which I’m almost positive is fake. Weird.

Even if DC isn’t actually tweeting everything himself I’ll be shocked if he’s not going to read some comments and I’d bet anything he’ll have loggin access and can step in if he wants to do anything on there. I know his MySpace is run by RCA but he does have access to it and posted some blogs there himself.

From Alex Wagner-Trugman’s Twitter:

congrats to all the idols on the east coast for being free from their “slavetracts!” (copyright @junotjoyner ) three more hours for me!

Looks like 19′s contractual hold on the unsigned contestants ends today. It would explain why Danny can’t say anything about his presumable signing just yet if it’s not with Sony.

you have to look at Andrew’s twitter (ACookofficial), which says:

wow! welcome to 2009 @thedavidcook. “God give me a break! Im flying first class!”
about 6 hours ago from web

that sounds like real brotherly snark and aggravation right there.

What makes that so funny is without that SLAVETRACT we wouldn’t even know he tweeted that.

DC probably wasn’t the one who twittered what he has thus far. But whoever it is (likely an admin at DCO) posted all of, what? 3? 4 posts? It has also only been up for, like, 8 hours or so.

What I’m trying to say is DC will likely do plenty of tweeting. It’s pretty early.

Okay, David Cook interviewed a rubber chicken and now Stephen Colbert is interviewing a dining room table. Is this a trend?

Pretty sure the inspiration for Colbert interviewing a dining table is this Barney Frank confrontation with a constituent re health care reform: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYlZiWK2Iy8

And in today’s episode of How the Cook Turns…

The only thing missing from the mix of Page Six, DC, the probable GF and her improbable, um, assets is one of Kyle’s patented, mis-timed rim-shots. Bwah!

As for twitter, I don’t even follow my own friends on twitter, but I might make an exception for… not DC, actually, but for Wolfgang. (And Wolfgang should SO be a guest on A Ficus Flows Between Us. Great suggestion, sma11ie. Heh!)

As for David, I’m also a little sad that he caved, but reading these threads lately has made it very clear what a useful promotional tool twitter can be (while still being the devil). And people in the public eye need to use promotional tools, so. If he keeps it on a mainly professional level — or even on a random, funny level that is anything but personal in that DC-ish sort of way, it should be okay. I hope.

One of the best Kris interviews ever. ^^^

Ahh, are we regretting the micheline picture now? I loved it and it gave us so much fun times! Yay Jason!

Truthiness – curious – SWHFTM not ‘disco to begin with’  – what was it then? I remember it being played in dance clubs in the early 80′s (okay, a little post disco).

It was generic early ’80s crap, is what it was. Sorry. Can you tell I don’t like the song? But if they played in a club, cool, I would hope it would be a remix version. But the song itself is not disco, disco was dead in 1981 and it was especially dead for the singer of SWHFTM, recorded in 1983, Donna Summer. Donna didn’t sing disco at that time and renounced it all as part of her born-again stuff.

But hating the song as I do, is another reason I liked Kris’s version of it so much, because not only was it just good period, but it was especially good given how crappy the original song was. Well live it was good, the studio version once again, didn’t resemble the live version and sucked.

Brian Mansfield of USA Today, reported that Rickey Minor told him that Kris did two more major overhauls of the song between the time it was recorded on a Saturday, and then performed on Tuesday.

Kris did that a lot. There are several of his studio recordings that bear little resemblance to what he did on live TV.

Kris did that a lot. There are several of his studio recordings that bear little resemblance to what he did on live TV.

While I’m sure that’s part of it, I also think that part of it was the time constraints studio versions and their cheapness. Plus a tendency to bandzilla things just as a general rule, be it in the studio or on the road. The Heartless studio version, for example, does nothing for me, because they decided to add all this soft rock band shtuff to it. Whereas the live version works for me, because of how stripped down it was. ToMT was another one that worked live as well as it did, due to how stripped down it was, but studio version couldn’t resist adding stuff to it and for me (for you), taking away it’s magic. They took the live torch song of IICHY and made it into some generic 80s ballad in the studio, and again, took away the magic I got from it live. And I could go on an on about the live versions that I loved for Kris, Adam and Allison that got their life essence sucked out of them, like a Podling looking at the Dark Crystal (yes, I am that much of a geek).

So not taking away Kris’s rearranging skills here, which again, are excellent and really interesting to read in this article his thought process on. But I suspect the problems with the studio SWHFTM are part of the larger problem with the studio versions from AI as a whole. Just my take on it.
