Kris Allen recently announced that he would be judging a Kidz Bop Talent Contest in New York City. On September 4, the Top 4 will be announced and flown to the Big Apple, where they will receive makeovers and mentoring from Kris and his fellow judge, Candece Campbell.
I know these reports are beginning to sound redundant, but now the Hollywood Reporter is also confirming that Season 10 American Idol alum, Haley Reinhart, has signed a record deal with Interscope Records.
Casey Abrams‘ run on American Idol season 10 was nearly derailed when a flare-up of his Ulcerative Colitis sent him to the hospital. He missed a results show, a few functions and Ford commercials, but thankfully, after treatment (which included blood transfusions) he got things under control and was able to compete all the way to 6th place.
Now, Casey is set to launch a nationwide contest to raise awareness about inflammatory bowel disease. US citizens, age eighteen and older who are diagnosed with UC or Crohn’s disease, are encouraged to submit their story showcasing how they’ve been able to pursue their dreams despite their disease now through August 26, 2011 at www.IBDIcons.com.
Cee-Lo Green was one of the first in-studio guests on Shade 45’s new “Sway In The Morning” show last week, and he talked about why he took himself off the Rihanna tour.
The Voice judge also reveals that Top 4 contestant, Vicci Martinez has been signed to a record contract.
According to the Free New York City Concerts Facebook, David Cook will sing at the Rockefeller Plaza for the Today Show Concert Series on July 28. This information is not yet confirmed. More HERE.
Christina Applegate tweets, “its official. I will be a guest judge on SYTYCD august 3rd. I’ve never done anything like this except judging at a county fair when I was 15”
A rep from Brad Paisley’s Talent Agency (William Morris) tweets that he thinks the Carrie Underwood/Brad Paisley “Remind Me” video will be released this week, “just saw the preview for the video of “Remind Me” @BradPaisley and @CarrieUnderwood. It is amazing and beautiful. Out this week I think.”
I’ve come to the conclusion the Season 9 alum, Tim Urban does not actually listen to the lyrics of the songs he sings. That would totally explain his bizarre cover of “Under My Thumb” during the competition, as well as this inexplicably jaunty rendition of Rihanna’s “Disturbia” Happy Happy Joy Joy!
This week’s theme is “Tenacity” and to help the kids reveal what they are made of is Max Adler, who plays the closeted bully on Glee.
Max leads them through their homework, which is to perform the song “Bulletproof”. Halfway through, he asks them to stop. He wants them to try again, bringing something to the table that will surprise him. The kids try way too hard on the second go-around, and it’s kind of hilarious. Max thinks everyone did fantastic, but he chooses the beautiful red-headed Marissa to win the challenge–her second in a row.
Season 9 Idol alum, Casey James made a big announcement Sunday night on stage at the California State Fair in Sacramento, CA. His long-awaited first single will finally be released.
“Let’s Don’t Call it a Night”, co-written with Brice Long and Terry McBride, was first performed publicly on March 4, 2011 during Casey’s opening set for Sugarland at the Verizon Arena in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
