Well, David Cook's not only started with his early post-Idol success, he also started taking the girls. It has been rumored that Cook is now dating Season 2's Kimberly Caldwell. Who is this chick? I dunno. I didn't watch Season 2. But for the jealous fans, here's a photo of the first AI Season 7 chick.

Clay. Yeah, Clay Aiken, the same guy from American Idol Season 2. Clay got a girl knocked up?! WTF?! People.com reports that he has gotten Jaymes Foster pregnant. Jaymes, the 'lucky' gal, is the sister of his producer, David Foster.
The funny thing is... it's through artificial insemination. Do I hear Perez Hilton giggling in the background?

I think Americal Idol is probably one of the greatest talent shows in US history. However, the real proof of success is not in text or call votes but in sales of singles and albums. It's the true measure of whether their fans will follow them throughout their post-Idol career and whether their appearance in the show was indeed because of their raw talent.
Looks like it's an early win for Americal Idol winner David Cook. Not only did he manage to finish on top, he began on top beating runner-up David Archuleta in the Top Digital Download race. According to Yahoo! Music, Cool made a record-breaking 17-song appearance on the Top 200 Hot Digital Songs chart. Archuleta managed to put 12 of his songs on the same chart.
Cook's first single as AI winner, Time of My Life had a total of 236,000 downloads as supposed to David Archuleta's cover of John Lennon's Imagine. It managed to earn 71,000 downloads.
Despite early criticism - saying Time of My Life suffers from the viral Idol template - downloads have helped it launch a hotshot debut on the Hot 100 Billboard Singles charts at #3. Things are looking up for David Cook.
Now, who's convinced that America chose the right Idol this year? ME!

OUCH! Someone's getting beaten in the gigantic country called China. Apparently, there was a YouTube video circulating on the internet showing actress Sharon Stone making comments on China's actions against the Tibetans.
In the video she said: "I'm not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else."
She also added: "And then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and I thought, is that karma -- when you're not nice that the bad things happen to you?"
This enraged the Chinese, who already banned her Christian Dior posters from being displayed on all stores in China. These comments refer to the Tibetan attacks by the Chinese government which aims to crackdown the alleged plan of the Dalai Lama to sabotage the Beijing Olympics. The Dalai Lama has denied these accusations.
The massive earthquake hit the Sichuan province in China on May 12 leaving nearly 88,000 people missing or dead.
Meanwhile, Stone has issued a statement apologising for her remarks. In a letter sent to the AFP news wire agency, she said: "My erroneous words and deeds angered and saddened the Chinese people, and I sincerely apologise for this."
UPDATE: DIOR has dropped Stone.

Though I am not a fan of rock music, I have become a fan of this one in particular. Wow! Arnel Pineda's performance is amazing. I don't know Steve Perry and I've never listened to any of his songs. That's probably a good thing because I have no one to compare Arnel with. To the haters, I understand your pain. Steve Perry is the only guy who can front Journey if it were up to you. However, you gotta give this guy props for doing one helluva job!

The Brits are at it again! Another 90's pop group is making a comeback. This time it's the pop sensation Boyzone. Remember that group?
Some of their memorable hits are 'No Matter What', 'Love me for a Reason', and that immortal Bean song 'Picture of You'. For the younger folks, Boyzone was the rival of the American groups Backstreet Boys and N Sync. It's hard to compare them because Boyzone was known for their ballads and their covers. They did not have a lot of original songs (I think). Most of their popular singles were all covers.
Here they are today:
Hmm... not sure why they've suddenly gone naked in this promo pic.. but I have to say they do look better here than on their old pics. I heard the tickets sold in just minutes like when the Spice Girls tour started. Let's see if they still can sing live.
