Kellie Pickler tweets, “Two years ago today I married my best friend…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpVFHDep8g8 … :)” That would be songwriter, Kyle Jacobs… The two eloped on New Years Day in 2011.

Katharine McPhee Covers Lucky February 2013 – With her hit NBC series “Smash” set to resume its second season February 5, Katharine McPhee soaked up the spotlight by covering the February 2013 issue of Lucky magazine.

Jessica Simpson & Jennifer Hudson Show Off Weight Loss in New Ad – Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Hudson have a lot in common, specifically when it comes to balancing their careers with motherhood. Now Simpson, 32, and Hudson, 31, have one more similarity to add to the list – they’ve both shed serious pounds thanks to Weight Watchers. The spokeswomen for the weight loss company met when they shot their first joint advertisement – which will be available on PEOPLE.com on Wednesday – and discussed their lifelong struggles with their weight and body image. – Read more at People Magazine

Shakira And Usher Bring New Competitive Edge to ‘The Voice’ – When we spoke to Usher at iHeart Radio in Las Vegas in September he promised to promote a competitive edge, but he isn’t the only one bringing that attitude. At the audition we saw some friendly competition between Usher and Shakira over one contestant, and when Usher bested Levine for another vocalist at the audition, he playfully taunted his fellow judge. During a junket featuring all four judges and show creator Mark Burnett, Shelton confirmed this season will give new meaning to the term “battle rounds.” “I would say the competitiveness is up,” he said. “We’ve replaced Cee Lo with somebody that’s just that much more aggressive. And Christina was always competitive, [but] now you’ve got four that are just killers up here.” – Read more at Rolling Stone

    Those were the best 60 continuous minutes I’ve ever heard from James Durbin. He was better than never. It seems that he’s a natural WGWG. lol

    I just didn’t like too much the 30STM’s cover. Since Idol I realized James and 30STM don’t belong together. lolBut other than that, everything was perfect.

    Has anyone recorded the Pink’s cover? That was something!

    Actually these two are the only ones so far on YouTube. 
    And I agree if he had been this awesome of a WGWG on Idol he would have had it in the bag, lol.

    Wow…I *love* the melody of that tune. It fits the subject matter of the song perfectly—a bit melancholy at the right places to enhance the lyrics.

    And on a side note: Is that a Heisenberg T-shirt James is wearing. LOL!

  • justmefornow

    lol.

    Sabbia, seems like someone may have been peeking in here again, lol.
    James answered our question about whether they were recording or just writing in Nashville:

    James Durbin ?@DurbinRock
    Almost every new song we’ve written (about 25) for the new record, has already been recorded. We’re killin it!! For YOU the fans!!

    No way James would have ever beaten Scotty. Scotty was a shoe in from the word go.

  • justmefornow

    Yeah, no kidding, thus the “lol” in my post.
