‘American Idol’: Perez Hilton on Dalton’s 2010 Boy Band Audition and Why He Could Win Season 15 – I remember instantly liking Dalton. He played us guitar for his audition and I liked that, too. I was like, ‘Wow, he is a real musician’ and that was appealing. He sounded great. He didn’t quite make sense in your typical feel of what a boy band member looks like. He was kind of like Zayn Malik of One Direction. The Zayn of IM5. He was our bad boy! He wore eyeliner — I think he still wears eyeliner — and had an edge to him, which wasn’t fake. It’s real. That’s truly who he is — a really nice kid and very talented. – Read more at Billboard

Singer Mark Hood from NBC’s ‘The Voice’ Talks New Project and Pharrell – The Pill Hill native never believed he would win Season 9, but he didn’t think he’d be eliminated before the finals. Hood was sent home with 11 singers remaining. Adjusting to life after the reality television singing competition show, where each week viewers vote for their favorite singers, was challenging, he said. “I was devastated, I was depressed,” he said. “It was really hard when I came back home because it was the best experience of my life.” Hood didn’t let the defeat keep him away from music. He’s currently working on his EP, which he says will drop this summer. He also is appearing in the musical production “Sister Act,” which is based off the 1992 film starring Whoopi Goldberg. – Read more at DNAInfo.com
8 Beauty Secrets I Learned From Carrie Underwood – Queen of country music Carrie Underwood has won seven Grammys and sold millions of records, but the Oklahoma native maintains the same approachable charm that fans first fell in love with 11 years ago on American Idol.

Like another undercover A-list makeup pro, Underwood handles her own stage beauty look, and she loves drugstore products. – Read more at Elle.com

Carrie Ann Inaba’s ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Season 22 Blog: Week 1 – For me, stepping back into the ballroom, felt like a coming home last night. Perhaps it was because Len was back, or because we had all experienced life during our break that changed us, like Erin Andrews (who fought so publicly for our rights to privacy and safety) and Tom Bergeron (who sadly lost both his parents). Or, perhaps it was because in a world where things change ever so quickly, we are a familiar face in a crowd, an old friend and safe harbor not only for our extended family, but also for each other. – Read more at Access Hollywood
