Idol’s Fantasia rebounds with soul, sass
“You know, sometimes, you have to put yourself first, ” Fantasia proclaims during I’m Doin’ Me, the first track on third studio album Back To Me.
Normally, the line would play like a standard, post-Destiny’s Child assertion of female independence. (Throw ya hands up at me.) But the American Idol 3 winner’s new disc, online and in stores today, has suddenly taken on a deeper meaning.

More Headlines after the JUMP…
Is Fantasia Barrino taking the right steps following her suicide attempt?
Before going any further, let me be clear: I don’t think Barrino swallowed all those pills as part of some well-orchestrated promotional plan. But it does seem she may be moving a bit too quickly to jump back into the media spotlight.

While the two engaged in conversation, cameras nearby were capturing all the details, presumably — as People speculates — for future episodes of “Fantasia For Real.”

Gleeks out there who were horrified by the doomsday report Ryan Murphy gave my TV diva cohort on the future of Will and Emma, take heart: Jayma Mays is rooting for them to work out!

Cory Monteith on His ‘Idiot’ Glee Character, His Two Left Feet and What’s Ahead For Finn Hudson
Like the character he portrays on Fox’s Emmy-nominated gem Glee, Cory Monteith is a paradox. Both awkward and well-rehearsed, the Canadian-born actor had famously never sung in front of a live audience before his audition for Ryan Murphy’s musical series. He never learned how to throw a football before playing star quarterback Finn Hudson. And despite having zero experience dancing, he landed a role on the only scripted series that demands its stars learn new choreography each week.
