    How much lead time between a first single and the 2nd album, though?  Also, the idea probably was to debut a new single at the CMAs…ugh, WTT not going up the charts is messing everything up…

    Also saw a while back that Dylan’s going to be there too. Maybe a performance tomorrow or announcement about Summerslam?
    Guesses anyone?

    Aww that tweet to Kelly from Crystal was so sweet! Idol girls rock!

     I’ve been wondering about that. He does have the SummerSlam date free. But although there was some early rumors, those have completely died out. Other than the BE A STAR I think he and Dylan are going for a great time. There will be some music according to the BE A STAR press release today. http://stlsportsmanship.blogspot.com/  I tend to think there might be interesting things happening with his good buddy Chris Jericho that he is privy too. I guess we will find out. He has learned how to keep a secret TOO WELL. LOL.

    That original release about the rally was a few weeks ago so it’s probably more than just that.

    I had heard rumors about Metallica performing at Summerslam, but that was never confirmed either.
    You’re right about him keeping secrets better. I think he learned from the Haley and Stefano leak, lol.
    I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

    Yes I’ve heard/read those Metallica rumors re: SummerSlam. A SummerSlam tweet/article? stated they were negotiating with an American Idol too at one point. But nada on that for a long time and the Metallica rumors are more recent.
    Whomever they pick, those WWE posters are a tough crowd. They slammed Metallica. I get the idea that they would slam any pick. LOL. Sweet pics of James’ day home with the family. He promised to take Heidi to an Alan Jackson concert. They also went to a little kiddie farm with that cute Hunter. That Hunter is so cute I just want to pick him up and give those cheeks a kiss (miss mine being that young). http://pinterest.com/pin/36169603228061847/

    I wish Kris would get out of Arkansas and do some real promo. Living room concerts and Walmart don’t cut it. At least he has the RedSox thing coming up. Where the hell is 19? Did they even tweet about stage-it? I’m tired of this situation. Where’s the next single already?? It’s like he’s forgotten.

    “American Idol” Season Five winner Taylor Hicks enjoyed a night out at Pure Nightclub at Caesars Palace on Saturday night. Arriving around midnight, Hicks made his way to his VIP booth where he was joined by his band members and friends. The American superstar has been reveling in his newfound Sin City fame as he celebrates his new title as resident headliner at Bally’s Las Vegas. Surrounded by admirers, Hicks spent his evening sipping cocktails, meeting with fans and posing for photos as he partied into the early hours of the morning.

    Sweet pics. It was nice that he managed to squeeze some family time into his crazy schedule. That Hunter is a real cutie pie – I miss mine that young too :)

    I think I still would like to have CAD, the song released. I know it won’t happen but it is my absolute favourite on the album.

    Happy for Taylor – he was my pick for that season.   As with Lambert, prefer his live performances to his recordings.

    Mt Rushmore’s too far from LA… how about Hollywood Hills… next to that Hollywood sign??? HAHAHA .. hhmm .. on the second thought, he probably would’ve done it if they let him. But narcissistic aside, I still love him though, he’s nicer and softer on XFactor.
