Some Kris Allen news for you!

  • Kris will “present nominees” for the People’s Choice Awards, 2010, according to a twitter from People. The twit asks us to come back “here” Tuesday for live picks of the event. Yes, it’s a little vague, but I’m sure more will be revealed soon.
  • And the New York Post, in a nod to People’s Sexiest Men Alive, picked their own candidates for the honor. Kris is one of their picks–but what’s up with that photo? Check it out HERE.
  • Check out the beautiful photos from a brand new Kris photo shoot HERE.

Plus, Kris has been busy doing phone interviews with radio stations, promoting his single, “Live Like We’re Dying”.   After the jump, 4 new radio interviews.

  • rayni

    I love it when he looks at me like that.

  • Jae

    I think it would be funny if he ended up presented and award to Adam Lambert! LOL!

  • oceana

    Kris is a very cute guy :)

  • gulfluv

    Well, hello there Kris! I liked hearing him talk about his wife in the Fayetteville interview, that was sweet.

  • happygolucky

    LLWD music video out tomorrow!!! YAY!

    Another interview today http://www.1053hotfm.com

  • babybelle32

    I like the new photos. There’s just something about them that is just so down to earth. Kris looks good in the photos where he’s all made up, and in these where he just seems like the normal average guy.

    I also like the picture that the Post used. It’s not Kris looking his sexiest or serious, but it is a picture of Kris not being afraid to be himself and look silly, which is very sexy.

  • babybelle32

    I think it would be funny if he ended up presented and award to Adam Lambert! LOL!

    That would be funny Jae, since he’s only announcing the nominations, not presenting any awards.

  • ilovekrisallen39

    He is just so darn sexy. I can see why they would be considering him one of the sexiest Men alive. I swear you can hardly find a ugly picture of Kris. I know there’s at least a couple but even then he still looks pretty nice to me. He did at least 2 interviews this morning I missed one and haven’t seen it posted anywere yet. But am sure it well be up someone later. And tomorrow we get music video. So can’t wait to see him in a video. Then he has that thing his doing tomorrow and then over the weekend. And almost time for his CD to come out.

  • hoosiermama

    MJ picked my favorite picture from this new photo shoot! Love the quiet confidence Kris projects. And the hair a bit wild and crazy. Yep. Sexy!

  • ross

    Another interview today http://www.1053hotfm.com

    I couldn’t find it. :(

  • MusicAlltheTime

    Aww. You could hear Kris’s little Southern accent more than usual in the Arkansas interview. It’s funny how accents come back when you talk to people from home.

  • ktstop22
  • happygolucky

    Another interview today http://www.1053hotfm.com

    I couldn’t find it.

    Sorry Ross.

    I’m not even sure if it has started yet. I just found this on Twitter. I’m sure a better link will pop up somewhere today.

  • tripp_ncwy

    Mix 101.9 ‘“ Fayetteville, AK (Alaska) should be Mix 101.9 ‘“ Fayetteville, AR (Arkansas). Kris’s wife Katy went to school at the University of Arkansas Fayetteville.

  • cookbunny

    Oh, damn…um, good morning, Kris! Why you gotta look at me like that?

    *sweating and getting flustered*

  • ross

    Sorry Ross.

    I’m not even sure if it has started yet. I just found this on Twitter. I’m sure a better link will pop up somewhere today.

    No problem, happygolucky. Maybe it hasn’t started yet? I’m really bad at finding interviews on radio stations’ websites, anyhow (the pages are so busy), so I just figured I wasn’t looking in the right place.

  • vanjess38

    Those pictures of Kris are very nice. I remember earlyinto the competition when they were trying to get him to do the “sexy face” for the Photoshoot. It’s so funny because you could hear the photographer telling him “let’s see your sexy face”, and the poor boy was trying too hard. Least did he know that it was by default and he shouldn’t have done anything. So, there it is. I’m sure the NY post have seen those gorgeous pictures of him but trying to say something here. He can look dorky and sexy at the same time.

  • hoosiermama

    LOL Too funny, tripp_ncwy! The AK/AR mistake happened on tour, too! I didn’t even catch that as I clicked on the interview. Good eyes!

  • Suzanne

    MJ–There’s no link to the NY Post.

    Look at that picture. Kris is such a dreamboat. Yum.

  • dhunken

    Good pics of Kris….Actually really like the top banner pic of 3 of him in the same pic…Cool that NYP has him as one of the sexiest men alive…I am sure that make Kris laugh (he is very humble and I don’t think perceives himself as sexy) but something that I am sure Katy would say she agrees with 100%….Good radio interviews…

  • TwigLA

    Kris is presenting (announcing) the nominees for the People’s CHoice Awards but it doesn’t say which categories. There are quite a few :::ahem:::. It is quite doubtful that he’d be announcing ‘breakout artist’ since he IS one of the nominees in that category. Cat Deeley is also presenting.

    Those photos are hot. Kris is a natural sexy just being himself and that for me is the best kind.

    Thanks for the radio interviews. I’ve been wondering when we’d get to hear some. I was really glad he addressed the fact that there is another musician out there with the same name: country music artist Kris Allen. This has been a problem for me, and I’m sure others, from the start. I think people trying to find info on our KA kept getting the other guy and gave up.

    That’s also why I wanted him to have an actual title to his album instead of going the generic self-titled route.

    Too funny that Katie doesn’t cook. Chalk off another thing I find sexy in men … knowing your way around a kitchen.

  • tripp_ncwy

    I don’t know if anyone saw this but someone on ontd_ai got an interview with Kris Allen (the country singer not or Kris). The interview was pretty boring until the end when they made their real motives known.
    http://community.livejournal.com/ontd_ai/2872720.html#cutid1

    “And last but not least, I have to ask: another Kris Allen has suddenly become popular since winning the most recent season of American Idol. Have you heard anything about him? What was your initial reaction when you saw his name?
    Yes, this OTHER Kris Allen was a Myspace friend of mine way before he went to the American Idol show and won. Now he is set in his career and wanted to buy my website, krisallen.com. The bid on buying it went up to $150,000. But I did not sell it because of my fans. It is only money; what would you do? By the way, way to go, Kris! I too am proud of you for winning the TV show!”

  • vanjess38

    Isn’t it suprising? Earier this year, TV guide had him at #15 in the 25 sexiest idols (mix up of male and female). Later, Buddy TV also had him at #1 on the 40 sexiest Reality TV Stars (also mix of male and female). And now NY Post. Does he even see himself as that?

    Just to clarify a bit, TwigLA, Kris isn’t yet a nominee in the category of Breakout Artist. He’s on a list of possible nominees. “The top five vote getters in each category will become the official nominees of People’s Choice Awards 2010!” So if you want Kris to be one of the five you still have to vote.

  • JudyL

    I would love to see Kris and Carrie on American Idol next season singing a duet. The gorgeousness of these two together on the stage would be awesome. He was great with Keith U. and would be great with Carrie.

    The recent photo shoots of Kris make me even more anxious for the LLWD video tomorrow.

  • gulfluv

    . Cat Deeley is also presenting.

    I can’t wait to see pics of Kris Allen and Cat Deeley standing next to each other! She is so tall!

    I agree that Kris is a natural sexy, just being himself. I like these new photos.

  • ross

    That was the wrong link, sorry. This is it (I couldn’t edit).

    http://www.peopleschoice.com/pca/nominations/vote.jsp?pollId=300032

    I’ve been clicking on these pics of Kris and looking at them full size — they’re really great! It looks like Simon Fuller’s office — it looks like the same place as the Lyndsey Parker interview, anyway, and I think she wote that that’s where it took place.

  • girlygirl

    It must be nice to be that naturally good looking (sigh). I love every photo from this shoot. My computer is getting clogged up with all the photos of Kris and Adam I have saved. I should probably do some weeding out…

    That’s a nice gig for Kris to land, announcing the People’s Choice nominees.

    And some of these radio interviews are cute. Kris is getting better at doing these, and it helps when the DJs ask him different questions, even if they are a little silly.

    I hope someone gets video of his appearances this weekend. I’ve heard that his parents & brother are likely coming to these events. That’ll be nice for Kris.

    Oh and tomorrow the music video comes out! I’m so excited to see what they came up with!!!

  • julieitis

    I loved all the new bits we got from those interviews. Kris sounds happy and confident.

  • serene

    Look at those hands… sigh…

    In my head, he is singing I Need To Know while looking at me like that picture at the top….. and I go jelly…

    Sorry Katy, but Kris should be banned giving this kind of photos when he is already married, not good Kris. You made us suffer in our dreams…

    The Truth, Bring It Back coz I Need To Know as I Can’t Stay Away from the new photos and his hazel eyes (or brown?).

  • serene

    Why can’t I edit anymore?

    Anyway, he is singing to me again, looking like this…
    Sorry, but I’m in the vain mood – it’s gloomy weather outside…

  • serene

    I mean this picture… (edit function not enabled anymore?) :(

  • girlygirl

    LLWD moved up 4 spots on Billboard’s Hot AC chart this week — was #31 last week, is #27 this week

  • TwigLA

    Thanks, Ross, for clarifying. I didn’t realize the voting is still open since they get announced next week. (Do I have that right?) I did know that it was the top 5 vote getters per category and there are write in candidates as well.

  • Mtlfan

    Nice pic you choose mj!

    It’s hard to pick a favorite pic since they are all very nice. Yes, I agree that he belongs on the sexyest man list :)

    I like very much that one too:

  • suebrody

    Kris: adorable. He almost never takes bad interviews.

    Why did the interviewers in AK seem the least with it?

    Good for him getting to present at the People Choice Awards. Guess I have to watch now! (They typically suck.)

  • suebrody

    I meant bad pictures, not interviews.

    I WANT THE EDITING FEATURE BACK. MJ, PLEASE HELP!!!

  • girlygirl

    Kris is happy!

    He’s now up to #20 on the amazon.com rock chart. bodes well, considering he hasn’t done any big TV appearances yet.

    That’s awesome!

  • Trina

    Seriously he should be a marketing dream because hes SO damn pretty. Put that boy in a simple setting, simple clothes and the results are gorgeous. I actually like these pictures better than that empty theater look they went for with his album cover/promo pics.

    I’ve been clicking on these pics of Kris and looking at them full size ‘” they’re really great! It looks like Simon Fuller’s office ‘” it looks like the same place as the Lyndsey Parker interview, anyway, and I think she wote that that’s where it took place.

    Yeah I remember DC did a photoshoot in the actual 19E offices last year. They probably take the pics, I guess for their own promo use? The lighting in Fuller’s office works really well here.

  • cmc25

    This could be old news. Kris Allen’s followers on his twitter account has gone down to 134. Last time I checked it was more than 110,000. What’s happening? I don’t think his fan base is shrinking.

  • sunny2

    Oh that look, chills.

    I wish would promote himself a little more. I found out from clicking on Idol Appearances that Kris will playing at the Kissmass Concert in Buffalo Dec. 6. I had no idea. I’m definetely going to go.

    So Thanks MJ for that info.

  • tinydance

    wow, Kris seldom takes any bad photos. I was looking at that site and I am amazed at the amount of photos, clips and gifs on there. Thanks for the link! ;)

  • cookbunny

    cmc25, I believe Adam had the same thing happen to him the other day. Twitter glitch I suspect!

  • Michelle

    Twitter’s been acting weird, Adam’s account had the same bug yesterday, but his follower count fixed itself within a couple of hours :) Should be the same for Kris. Plus Kris changed his username yesterday so maybe that confused something in the system too, lol.

    A day later and I still can’t get over those pics. Sigh :)

    Thank you for gathering up yesterday’s interviews, MJ!

    cmc25, I just checked and he has 116,603 followers. Maybe you’re looking at his old name. Kris had changed his twitter name to KrisAllen. He dropped the “4Real” yesterday.

  • jmom376

    Thank you MJ for posting everything. I love all of the news that is coming out over the last couple of days. Can’t wait for the video to come out tomorrow. Does anyone know if it will be released to itunes tomorrow?

    Lurking Kris fans: Just wanted to say hi and say that us other Kris fans would love for you to come out and post in his threads. I think we are all in for a fun ride over the next couple of weeks (at least) and it would be great to have more of his fans post in his threads.

  • mmk28

    Here is another interview from yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7E2FR2ubjI . One of the DJs thinks that just because he covered Britney at the Dolphins game this song will also be on his album, LOL!!! She misinterprets what she reads but that comes also with the territory of doing covers,I guess. He says something about the Mat Kearney song. Also hear a ghost story from his childhood and where he went for Halloween.

  • cmc25

    Thank you guys for the info on this twitter mess.

    I am happy to see Kris making substantial progress on his career. Can’t wait to buy his CD.

  • mysan

    Hello…I am one of the lurking Kris fans. I must say I’m really excited for Kris – his album, tv appearances, radio interviews, and concerts. He really deserves all the good things happening to him for he is a good and very talented person.

    Wishing you the best, Kris!!!

  • sunny2

    Kris’ album is #43 on itunes Canada. Pretty impressive since no Toronto radio stations have added LLWD yet. Don’t know about the rest of Canada though.

  • HeidiL

    jmom376 Thanks for the invite to lurking fans. I’ve been watching AI since the get go but Kris, Jason Castro and David Cook are my all time favorite idols!
    Can’t wait for Nov. 17th!

  • serene

    Alright, so we start the lurkers party tomorrow with the hosts here? :)

    I’m still jelly – effect from the photos, so I wanna party already!!

  • ilovekrisallen39

    Yeah tomorrow MV so excited. Love all the pictures,and interviews.

  • Mtlfan

    YEAH!!!!! tomorrow the video we have long been waiting for. I’m so curious to see what they make out of the song theme.

    I’m joining jmom376 for a hello to other Kris fans! :)

  • dmr

    I was confused on twitter too. Here’s the NEW twitter name (account):

    http://twitter.com/KrisAllen

  • Triskel4

    I’d love to join with the regs and lurkers for a video-viewing flailing party (please @god let it be awsome — I’m hoping for a bit of a MadMax vibe myself, what with the desert, junkyard, nighttime, etc.), but, do we know what time these things usually pop up. Midnight? Noon? What’s been the norm? I’ve never waited around for a video before.

  • colette

    OK, anybody else here ready to hear KRIS PLAY SOME MUSIC? Been a long time, and those crappy recordings of the tailgate party do not count.

    As for the photos: well, the smartest thing Kara D. said last year was “The girls loooooooove Kris.” He’s just an irresistible cutie, which I’m sure he knows can’t hurt his chances of making it in the music biz. Glad he has a brain and talent too….

  • hoosiermama

    mmk28 Thanks for the new interview! Some new info in there. Wow. Kris is really working the radio circuit! I had to chuckle–could there be any more of a contrast between Kris and Adam in how they spent Halloween?? Not saying one way is better than another, but so different! Good to know that he’s spending some fun time with Katy.

    Like everyone else, I’m ready to see this video!!

  • serene

    MJ just posted that PopEater will STREAM the album on 9th Nov.. FLAILING starts now…. :)

  • ross

    I think this interview is from today. Anyway, I never heard it. Kris is getting really good at this.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMPhOk8yi9M

  • vanjess38

    Wouldn’t this popeater thing cost Kris? Is there a way they guard against people ripping it? If not, ppeople will rip it and may cost him in sales, IMO.

  • Michelle

    They stream albums all the time there, so I think it’s a risk the label takes that people will like the music enough to want their own copy as opposed to a rip of a relatively low quality stream (with a “music on demand” audio watermark on every song.)

  • cookcricket

    Cat Deeley is also presenting.

    OMG! How tall is she? LOL! Will they be standing next to each other?

  • cookcricket

    ETA: See that? I did my own.;) Welcome to the lurkers!!!

  • Starr

    Why so pretty, Kris?

  • smartalek

    I will preface this with a yes, I am biased. I was a Glambert during the comp and still am. But this is seriously absurd. I was not bothered by Kris and was actually somewhat of a fan until he won the competition. I have always thought Kris was an attractive guy, very very cute, and of course a decent singer/songwriter. He looks especially cute in certain photographs (e.g. the one on the itunes pass or the No Boundaries single or the cover of his album). The above picture, on the other hand, really doesn’t cast his hair in a particularly flattering way IMO.

  • Truthiness

    I think this interview is from today. Anyway, I never heard it. Kris is getting really good at this.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMPhOk8yi9M

    Well darn, I didn’t see it when it first came up, because it’s been removed. Ross, do you remember who the interview was by?

    Oh and I think Kris is cute, and usually does not take a bad picture (and I consumed with jealousy about that) but I don’t think the one on top, is a great one of him. He looks really tired for some reason in this pic to me. Oh well, doesn’t really matter. And I will try and catch up with all the radio interviews later tonight. I look forward to hearing more about what’s up, if some interviewers manage to ask a new and interesting question once and a while.

  • amielee

    he is hot, no doubt!

  • mmk28

    Truthiness, you didn’t miss anything. This interview, if I remember well, was for the most part about Idol, so nothing new. I think it was removed (and all the others as well) because Slezak in his review of Kris’ snippets linked to some videos of the same youtube account. Apparently 19 disabled this account. The interviews at least might be reuploaded.

    The thing that I like the most about this photo-shoot is that there is no photoshop. Even if small imperfections in Kris’ face are visible and his hair is a little mess IMHO in these photos he is more attractive than in some others just because the expresions on his face are so natural.

  • xdahlia

    Kris is gorgeous. :)

    Please keep posting about Kris Allen. It promotes more ads of Kris and less teeth whitening stuff. I don’t get why it shows up, you never blog about teeth whitening. :/

  • Starr

    I agree @mmk I like that he looks natural, he has no make-up on and YET

    Goodness this guy cannot take a bad picture.

  • ross

    Well darn, I didn’t see it when it first came up, because it’s been removed. Ross, do you remember who the interview was by?

    No, unfortunately. I just thought he had some pretty quick comebacks.
