Idol Updates

My favorite contestant of Season 6 , Blake Lewis has parted ways with 19 Management , but don't fret lovers of the blond beatboxer , Blake took to his Myspace blog to say new management is in the works,He’s got new management, an album deal in the works, and plans to start writing a record in January with Ryan Tedder. On the management "In other news. I have a new manager and she is killing it for me. Things are finally coming to order. There is a new record deal in the works, just looking over the final papers and within the next couple weeks I will be in the hands of someone who believes in my art. I am very blessed." On working with friend Ryan Tedder who wrote many of Blake's songs on Audio Day Dream " My friends One Republic came to town a few weeks back and I got to rock out with them on there last song at the Paramount Theater. It was good to catch up with them and Ryan and I are going to start writing my next record in Jan. Stoked!!" Blake can still be heard though , he recorded Flock Of Seaguls "I Ran" available on Itunes , rumors are also stirring that Jordin Sparks has parted ways with 19 , but no comment has been made.

Winter Wonderland: Gossip Girl

On last nights Gossip Girl ,we were treated to a look at another fabulous look at an amazing looking cast in another beautiful winter season, but somehow it doesn't get old, So here is the lowdown.

Serena & Dan- Invites Dan to the Snowflake Ball because Aaron will not go with her at first , then she meets Aaron's ex Lexi who isn't very fond of Serena, and then sees that Lexi kind of likes Dan and Lexi somewhat forces Dan to ask her to the Ball , but Serena is still not over Dan in a way.
has Aaron's ex Lexi as a date for the ball, still can't be ok with Serena being with Aaron.
Blair & Chuck- Trying to find a date for the ball enlists all of the male suitors at her school , but Blair always being up for a little competition , bets Chuck she can choose his date and vice versa, but Blair and Chuck find out they are the only one for each other when they find almost perfect replicas of themselves as each others dates, the still are trying to figure out why they can't just be in a relationship, "Were pulling for you"
Nate , Vanessa & Jenny - The love triangle of the show , Vanessa still does not tell Jenny that she has been seeing Nate , even though Jenny tells her she still has feelings for him , Vanessa also does not tell her that she stole the letter Nate sent her, Jenny later finds out via Gossip Girl that Vanessa and Nate are together , (their picture messaging kicks my phones ass!) so with help from the Blair wannabees Jenny seeks revenge giving Vanessa a sheer silver dress , one that if light hits they are gonna see a whole lot of you, Jenny arrives at the ball waiting for Vanessa's demise , when to her dismay and without knowing Nessa is going to break things off with Nate even though she really loves him ,but doesn't want to ruin her relationship with Jenny awwwww! , but it was too little to late Vanessa is humiliated at the ball and Nate gives her the letter but tells her she isn't the person he thought she was , leaving Poor Jenny friendless, again, but it looks like Nate and Vanessa are back on.
Lily & Rufus -Lily is still upset about the files Bart kept on her Serena and Eric , understandably, and starts to try and rekindle her relationship with Rufus , when Bart says he fired the private investigator and will go to the Ball with her she gives him a chance but later finds out he went to meet with him again, then Rufus tells Lily he still loves her and didn't stop her wedding to Bart because he was afraid he couldn't give her everything she needed (so sad :( , Chuck finds them talking and calls his dad , the scene changes with Lily telling Serena , Bart was in an accident , and that was it. Spoiler Alert - Bart dies, really , I'm not kidding.

World Aids Day

Though I am one day behind , World Aids Day was Dec. 1, it is a disease we must pay attention to and help find a cure for daily. Nearly one fourth of people are infected with HIV and don't even know it , nearly 1,078 cases of aids were associated with 13-14 year olds, 5,626 cases in 15-19 year olds, 36,225 in ages 20-24 ,and 117,009 in 25-29 year olds. There are 22 million adults (15+) in Sub -Saharan Africa ,380,000 in the Middle East/ North Africa , 1.2 million in North America, 1.7 in Latin America , 32 million people globally are infected with Aids, and sadly 2 million child deaths have occurred as of 2007 , we need to do all can to help spread the word and help find a cure even if it buying products that support charities , like the Red Brand at GAP where proceeds go to AIDS relief in Southern Africa , or the Until There's A Cure fund which sells bracelets where all the proceeds go to Aids relief , celebs like Kim Kardashian and Hilary Duff rock the bracelets, and another way to show your support and that you care is to get tested regularly , it is the only way to protect yourself and the people you love , the greatest power you have in yourself is having the information available to you.

A Real Ladies Man

David Cook was on the Ellen DeGeneres show yesterday, the show was actually taped the week before ,but did not air till yesterday, due to the programming on Thanksgiving, but there David of course promoted his album , and told album he was able to send his mom on a cruise this year ,thanks to the success of Idol , a big difference from 2 years ago when he was asking for money to barely get by. Also on the show yesterday was probably the most intuitive 9 year old to girls feelings I know, Alec Graven had an assignment in 3rd grade and that assignment turned into a book "How To Talk To Girls, Ellen had him on the show last year , and had a meeting set up with prominent publishers Harper Collins and they published his book, they have also signed him on to , do a series of books ,next up How To Talk To Mom & Dad ,we wish him all the best ,and another great thing about this sweet kid is ,he is donating half of the proceeds to Stand Up To Cancer, you go Alec:)



Don't Forget To Catch Mr.Cook on NBC'S Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony with appearances by Beyonce and Tony Bennet, @8:00

Idol Does Not Teach Lipsynching

David Archuleta performed at last weeks 82nd Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and when you sing on the parade you must sing to you backing track, which is pretty much just you singing to the CD track, so David sang his best hairbrush as a microphone performance to "Crush" he did do better than Jordin Sparks last year to performed her single "Tattoo" at the same parade last year , take a look. The good thing is that the talent is real on Idol and they are definitely true talents unlike me:)


JSYK- I am posting my pics of the AMA pre-red carpet tommorow , promise!
