The two Davids put on quite a show last night. They both belonged there, though I thought Carly should have made it closer to the finals too.
Either way, we actually were cheering on David Cook, but found that David A came to win that night. He put on 3 great performances. I got chills during the first, when he sang “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me”, which is one of my all time favorite songs. “Imagine” was beautifully done, and even the song nobody knows, he pulled off with passion and pride.
David A deserves to win this thing, but I think David Cook will be the guy you hear on the radio more often down the road.

Dancing With the Stars has come to a close, and it’s announced winner Kristi Yamaguchi. Winning should feel natural to the figure skater, but now she adds another trophy to her case. Kristi is the first female winner on Dancing With the Stars. The previous 3 seasons, a man has taken the prize.
Jessica Alba, once declared the sexiest woman alive by FHM magazine married her beau of 3 years Cash Warren. They are expecting a child together shortly.
Jessica Alba has been at the top of a lot of “beauty” lists, while most of her films aren’t tops. While she’s in the “Fantastic Four” films and “Sin City”, many of her films are more forgettable, like “Good Luck Chuck”.
Her television series “Dark Angel” brought her into people’s home, and her stunning good looks kept her front and center.
I guess they’ll be picking out baby furniture and any other furniture they need to make their house a home like coffee tables, a dining room table, rocking chairs and more. Of course, these days most people seem to live together first, so they may all ready have a house full of furniture.
Did I flash back to the 70’s? Was this guy for real, or was he just putting on an act for the TV cameras. This dude made my skin crawl just watching the show. The guy who thinks “he is it”, and thinks the entire world thinks so too…ummm, no.
What floored me more than anything was that his assistant dallied with him, even knowing what a sled dog he is…and has a girlfriend.
Tara seemed cool, nice, and did a fab job. Kudos to her, and El Cruz, seriously? I think I set the record on eye rolls last night!
Entertainer of the year: Kenny Chesney doesn’t think fans should be the ones voting. He’s been chosen as entertainer of the year for four years.
Other awards given out for top vocalists were: Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood. The vocal group went to Rascal Flatts, and the duo once again went to Brooks and Dunn.
New artist accolades went to Taylor Swift and Jack Ingram. Lady Antebellum scored new duo/vocal group.
When it comes to the vinyl, the single of the year was “Stay” by Sugarland, but Miranda Lambert’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” took album of the year. “Stay” also snagged song of the year.

Now that Ashley and Pete are married, it’s time to pick out the china pattern, sinks, and all the other stuff that goes with newlywed stuff. Of course, there are murmurs that she’s pregnant as well, so they may be filling out a baby registry for baby stuff too.
What do you think? Do you think they married due to a pregnancy, or it was headed that way, so they finally just tied the knot? I guess we’ll know soon enough if she starts showing from a pregnancy!
Congratulations go out to Ashley Simpson and Pete Wentz.
Taylor Hicks will be stepping into the role of an Angel in Broadway’s Grease, starting June 6th. Playing the Teen Angel, does that mean he’ll be crooning the famous “Beauty School Drop Out”?
Hicks, once a winner on American Idol, lost a contract with his record label after his post-Idol CD was released to less than astounding sales. While he did sell over 700,000 records, he didn’t hit the 1 million mark, and I guess that’s just not enough to bank on. There were no #1 singles, but personally, I think they released the wrong songs to try for a hit.
I have the CD, and I’m quite happy with it. I found it amusing how often I heard it while down the casinos too…somebody is playing it, but maybe it’s just lounges and casinos. It’s gotten a lot of play in my car stereo.
Anyway, now that he’s set to sing on stage as an Angel, he’ll also be doing more independent work, and is excited with the quality of music he’ll be putting out. He had currently released two independent CD’s before hitting American Idol. I’m looking forward to hear his new music. I love his soulful sound.
With last year’s string of rehab stints for Alcohol Treatment and Addiction Treatment, it’s been pretty quiet lately. It seemed like last year, everybody and their brother were in rehab. And of course LiLo went numerous times.
Is it all quiet on the Hollywood front at this time? I’ve been flipping through the gossip mags, checking in with the latest entertainment shows, and it would seem like right now, we have a lull in activity. That’s excellent news if people are clean and sober, or at least able to find a way to moderate themselves.
Addiction is a scary thing, and people who seek out help can make a change in their lives. Drug Rehab is a chance for people to get their lives back in order, and finally see how to live without the drugs in their life. Amy Winehouse hit rehab earlier, and we can only hope she’s cleaning up her act.
Sadly, once people fall into addiction, it can be a spiral, that’s difficult to climb out of. If you or someone you know needs help, contact Cliffside Malibu, and help them on a path to regaining their life. While I discuss celebs going into rehab, and such in a gossip manner, it’s no laughing matter. I personally know people who have struggled with addiction, and seeing them reclaim their lives and getting away from drugs and alcohol was the answer.
At Cliffside Malibu, they help deal with addiction through counseling, detox, alternative medicine, and have comprehensive drug and alcohol programs. You can learn more about them at CliffsideMalibu.com.
With California’s ruling, gay marriage will now be legal in California. Of course there are still groups fighting to over rule that again. With the announcement came the news that openly gay talk show host Ellen DeGeneres will marry her longtime girlfriend Portia de Rossi.
De-Generes and De-Rossi will finally be able to wed. Kind of neat both their names start with “De”…so will names change? Will they become De-De-something? Or will they go by De-G-De-R? Or will both women keep their own names?
Either way, it was a big ruling, and one that is still set to face a lot of battle.
