David Archuleta: Already serving a mission
David Archuleta hasn’t let success spoil him.
Even though he recently wrapped up his first headlining tour and his self-titled first CD debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 (and is nearing platinum status), he’s still just a kid from Murray.

Daughtry Show They’re Working Everydudes In ‘No Surprise’ Video
Here’s the thing about Chris Daughtry: He is an exceedingly regular guy (aside from his Lex Luthor dome and Pharaoh-with-a-Norelco facial hair). This is particularly noteworthy considering that his band’s 2006 self-titled album is the fastest-selling rock debut in SoundScan history, moving more than 5 million units, birthing seven singles and staying lodged in the top half of the Billboard 200 for more than two years.

Rock of Ages (2009)
The idea of an ’80s-rock musical is enough to crank one’s sarcasm meter to 11…or 11, 000. But American Idol’s Constantine Maroulis and Rent’s Amy Spanger so fully embrace classics like Journey’s ”Don’t Stop Believin”’ that even doubters will be wiping tears from their Wayfarers. Rock of Ages is the power-ballad decade in all its glory, tricked out with big perms, bigger dreams, and the kind of operatic ecstasy you read about only in bathroom stalls. A’
Meet the Nominees: Rock of Ages’ Constantine Maroulis
Theatergoers who only know Constantine Maroulis as that guy from American Idol have discovered that he is more than just a good singer. In fact, his performance as wannabe rocker Drew in the musical Rock of Ages — the first leading role he has ever created on Broadway — has earned him a 2009 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical.
“I feel very lucky, ” says Maroulis. “This business is a lot about luck and timing. To have the opportunity to create a role in a great show has always been a dream of mine, and then to be able to help take us from Off-Broadway to Broadway and then to get a Tony Award nomination — well, it’s all been a real thrill.”

Five finalists descended on Manhattan’s Madison Square Park for a live, no-holds (leather pants and big hair included!) barred final event.
Taylor Hicks, the singer-actor touring with ‘Grease’
When Taylor Hicks signed on to play the part of Teen Angel in a Broadway revival of “Grease” last summer, fans of the 2006 “American Idol” winner helped make the show a surprise hit.
Since then, the gray-haired performer has toured with “Grease” nonstop, and he arrives in Detroit on Tuesday for a three-week stint at the Fisher Theatre. The angel role, played previously by everyone from Chubby Checker to Davy Jones, has become a showcase for the 32-year-old Hicks, who performs a harmonica-backed medley of “Grease” tunes at the end of the show.

6/3: So You Think You Can Dance interviews with Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy
How about this for confusing?
Fox biggest summer show …So You Think You Can Dance is about to wrap up auditions for season five on air this week. On Thursday evening, the top 20 will be announced.
Yet Fox is already in Atlanta for auditions for the next season.
Fox is taking a gamble by inserting the reality show into the fall schedule on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. If it fails there, they can simply place it back in the summer in 2010. If it works, theyll probably keep it in the fall.
Marini Healing From ‘Dancing’ Surgery
‘Dancing With the Stars’ runner-up Gilles Marini underwent surgery Tuesday to repair his separated shoulder, an injury he sustained shortly after ‘Dancing’ began filming.
According to E! Online, Marini opted to wait until the season was over to schedule a surgery so he wouldn’t have to drop out of the competition. Marini and partner Cheryl Burke finished second to Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson and partner Mark Ballas.
Wade Robson & Shane Sparks return to ‘So You Think You Can Dance’
So I may or may not have already mentioned — via Twitter, Facebook and this blog — that I got to meet “So You Think You Can Dance”‘s Top 20 yesterday morning, but what I know I have not yet shared is that a couple of the kids confirmed to me that beloved choreographers Wade Robson and Shane Sparks, who were absent from the show last season, are back for sure.
Of course there was never any beef between “SYTYCD” and the boys. They were just busy doing other things. Wade, I believe, was choreographing Criss Angel’s Cirque Du Soleil show in Vegas and Shane, of course, was contracted to judge “Randy Jackson Presents America’s Best Dance Crew.”
‘So You Think You Can Dance’: Nearly everyone loses in Vegas
We’re so close, “So You Think You Can Dance” fans! Close to learning our top 20 dancers, close to auditions being over, close to the meat of the season! With 172 dancers in Las Vegas for callbacks this season, it seemed as if there were more talented dancers than ever to whittle down, but unfortunately, with so many, it’s hard to feel connected to anyone in particular until the main group is introduced.
‘So You Think You Can Dance’ recap: Betting It All
(Sniffles) There sure was (gasp) a lot (gulp) of tears (rapid inhales of breath) last night (rubs at eyes), huh? (Stops, takes several deep breaths, centers self, starts sobbing again, steps away from the keyboard, centers self again, blows nose, returns to writing) So You Think You Can Dance’s Vegas Week has always been a brutal, emotional, and infuriating Bataan Death March of auditions, winnowing nearly 200 dancers down to a TV-friendly 20, and last night’s Vegas Week episode brought the drama on all levels. Some superlative dancers faltered just once and found themselves starring in their own SYTYCD mini-episode of ”Walking Out the Door While Talking to the Camera As Sappy Music Plays Me Home.” Others continually screwed up and were given reprieve several times over, only to be cut at the end. And some made it to the very last stage largely on the sheer power of a well-fitting skimpy dance outfit. Well, okay, I’m only thinking of one specific dancer for each of these categories, but you get the idea.
