Carrie Underwood Covers Cosmo

Carrie Underwood is the July 2008 cover girl of Cosmopolitan magazine. In the interview with Carrie that Cosmo did they covered dating, weight issues and her rise to fame. Here are some highlights:

On her fame: “It all seems like a crazy dream.”

On trying to live normal: “I’ll go to a club here in Nashville, but I also like to sit at home with my dog and do normal people things. I love doing laundry. I love buying groceries.”

On her weight: “I gained weight on the show, but I didn’t starve myself afterward,” she says. “I may think about it a little too much. I might feel guilty if I eat a pizza. But I’ve tried to be healthy and exercise as much as I can. If that’s made me lose weight, I guess I needed to.”

On guys wanting to date her: “Guys who would never look at me twice before might ask me out now, so I guess I have better opportunities,” she says. “But when I do meet a guy, there’s this ‘Does he just want his picture in a magazine?’ factor.”

Catch the rest of the interview in July’s issue of Cosmopolitan.

David Cook Does Tom Cruise

Since David Cook has won American Idol people will be quick to want to have him advertise for them. Case in point, it’s Tom Cruise’s 25 Anniversary, so why not do a rendition of “Risky Business” while playing Guitar Hero? That puts poor Tom Cruise to shame! (I think Tom did a better version!)

Simon Cowell Regrets Turning Down Money

“I was offered money to judge somebody in bed…I stupidly turned it down.”-Simon Cowell on rejecting $100,000 to critique a couple in bed.

I’m really surprised he didn’t take that offer…he loves to make fun of people and this would be the ultimate job for that…and he would have made a good chunk of money too!

David Cook Wins American Idol Season 7! OMG!

David Cook was crowned the winner of American Idol Season 7, Wednesday night. This win comes as a surprise since Simon Cowell pretty much declared David Archuleta the winner after last night’s performances.

In an interview with UsMagazine.com following Tuesday night’s show, Cook refrained from arguing with judge Simon Cowell’s assertion that David Archuleta won the evening. “You know, everybody’s got an opinion, and tonight was Archuleta’s night,” Cook reportedly told the site. “I have to concede it: The kid came out all three songs and nailed it. But I walk away from this with my head held high.”

David has always loved music…

Cook was born in Houston, Texas and raised in Blue Springs, Missouri. Cook’s interest in music began early in life; he received his first guitar at the age of 2. He began singing in second grade, when his elementary school music teacher gave him a solo in a school choir performance. He proceeded to perform in virtually every Christmas and PTA program.

Congratulations David, enjoy the ride!

David Archuleta Performs ‘Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me’

David Archuleta had the strongest performances of the night making it look like a cake walk. Clive Davis sure knew the right song to pick for David. He belted out ‘Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me’ like it was nobodies business. David was picked the first and second round winner and will probably go on to win tomorrow night. David Archuleta really outperformed David Cook tonight. May be nerves got the best of David Cook tonight.

David Cook Performs ‘I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For’

David Cook started strong tonight with his performance that Clive Davis picked for him, “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.” He was a favorite of mine and I was hoping that he would win. But after the two rounds of weak performances it probably won’t happen. David Archuleta has become the favorite to win.

David vs. David: AI Finals Start Tonight!

david and david

American Idol Season 7 has come down to the Battle of the Davids: David Archuleta vs. David Cook. The drama begins tonight with the first of a two-part finals show. You can catch it tonight and tomorrow night on Fox at 8/7C.

The Davids will sing three songs each: one selected by Clive Davis, one selected by AI viewers through an online poll, and one they select themselves.

As if the excitement isn’t huge enough already, Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers are also expected to perform during the finale.

17 year old Archuleta has long been a favorite among viewers for his ability to belt out the ballads. And he’s just so cuuute with that wittle baby face! Cook, a more seasoned (and scruffy) 25, was called the “real rocker of the boys” by Randy Jackson. Personally, I think he takes himself too seriously, but folks must love him if he’s gotten this far.

Who do you think should be the next American Idol? Tell us below!

David Cook Destroys Duran Duran on American Idol

Tonight, the American Idol Top Four performed songs from the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Here is David Cook murdering Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like The Wolf.”

His other selection was Baba O’Reilly (Teenage Wasteland) by The Who. He not only slaughtered that song, he encased its feet in concrete and sunk it in the river. (Although nothing, and I mean NOTHING is or could be as bad as his rendition of Billie Jean.)

How has David Cook made it this far? He takes great songs and completely jacks them up. My only consolation is that I’m pretty sure people like David Archuleta better and if it comes down David v. David, Archuleta will totally win.

Paula Abdul In Usual Fine Form on ‘Idol’ Last Night

Once again giving the nation ample reason to believe that she drinks before going on the air, Paula Abdul got goofy on last night’s American Idol.

The judges usually critique each singer in turn after they perform. Last night they decided to wait until all the contestants had sung one song, then gave all the feedback together.

Paula couldn’t handle the change, though.

Shuffling through notecards, the visibly flustered judge offered up her criticism on two songs by Jason Castro. The problem: He’d only sung one song.

“Jason, first song, I loved hearing your lower register, which we never really hear, um….” Abdul began. “The second song, I felt like your usual charm wasn’t — it was missing for me. It kind of left me a little empty.”

The five contestants and Ryan Seacrest stood on the stage, baffled.

“The two songs,” Abdul went on, “made me feel like you’re not fighting hard enough to get into the top four.”

When Randy Jackson finally corrected her, first she claimed she thought Jason had sung two, then said she got confused because she looked ahead in her notes.

Check out the video! She looks completely out of it and then claims, “This is hard!” Yes, Paula, we are sure that it is very hard for you to get up and get out of bed and be vertical and look relatively conscious… what’s in that Coca-Cola cup that’s always on the table in front of you anyway??

Brooke White Is Off AI For Sure Now!

Brooke White secured her elimination from American Idol last night by whiffing it at the beginning of her Andrew Lloyd Webber selection, “You Must Love Me.” She stopped and restarted singing the song from Evita because she forgot the lyrics.

It was really a painful performance. She looked petrified, maybe because she knew she didn’t know the words? Simon called it:

“You were completely tense. It actually became quite uncomfortable.”

Even Webber himself said afterwards:

“I don’t think that girl had a clue what she was singing about.”

It’s too bad she couldn’t recover from her mistake like she did when she sang “Every Breath You Take.” Even after starting in the wrong key she just kept on going, which is what a good performer will do. I agree with this blogger:

She should have faked it and went on. This is Broadway week. She could have said anything and most people would have never known.

Alas. Bye-bye, Brooke!

Brooke White has been Replaced by Cardboard Cutout at Sister’s Wedding

Brooke White revealed on American Idol Thursday night that if she got eliminated, she would get to attend her sister’s wedding on Saturday, but if she didn’t, she would have to miss it, so staying would be bittersweet.

Well, we all know how that ended, hottie Michael Johns was shockingly given the boot! So, Brooke White will have to miss her sister’s wedding.

According to TMZ, her sister has found a willing replacement…a cardboard cutout of Brooke!

Brooke — and her family — have come up with a creative solution: Michael Johns will go in her place They’ve built a cardboard cutout of Brooke to take her place. Paging Flat Stanley!

We’re told all contestants know way in advance about the Saturday schedules, and are aware that they just can’t miss the weekend rehearsal. “It’s one of those sacrifices you have to make if you want to be a star,” “Idol” Exec Producer Nigel Lythgoe tells us, adding, “It would be a shame if Brooke was kicked off the show because she hadn’t properly rehearsed.” Yes, that would be just awful!

And maybe if Brooke needs to be somewhere else on Idol nights, they could just use the cutout as a stand-in. Would anyone know the difference?

Britney Spears Moved by ‘Idol Gives Back’, Donates $25K

Britney Spears Kristy Lee Cook

Britney Spears was watching American Idol last night, and she was reportedly so moved by the children in Africa who had Malaria, she decided to help them.  After watching Idol Gives Back, she cried for two hours about it, then asked her dad if she could have permission to donate $25,000.

A source told Life & Style, “She did it all on her own. She watched the show and cried for like two hours over the children in Africa with malaria. She didn’t know much about the disease, so she Googled it. She was horrified to realize kids were dying from mosquito bites. So she went online and donated after getting [her dad] Jamie’s permission. She used her Amex.”

Aww, Britney has a heart!  Good for her and her new image!

How do you think Britney’s friend, Kristy Lee Cook will do this week?

Chace Crawford And Carrie Underwood Broke Up Through A Text Message

Carrie Underwood and Chace Crawford

Carrie Underwood revealed the way that Chace Crawford and her broke up last night at the American Idol Gives Back taping.

“We broke up over text, so it’s like ‘peace out,’” Underwood, 25, said at the Idol Gives Back taping in Hollywood Sunday. “It was completely mutual, we’re both fine.”

She said they haven’t talked “in a while, but I mean, I don’t dislike him. So it’s no big deal.”

Their relationship “just didn’t work,” Underwood added, “and we both knew it didn’t work and [there are] no hard feelings at all whatsoever.”

Dating in the public eye is “difficult … because people always make a lot bigger deal of things than they actually are,” she said.

Awww poor Chace. He can come over and cry on my shoulder if he wants!!

Kelly Clarkson…What Happened To You?

Kelly Clarkson had a concert in Amsterdam this weekend where she totally rocked it out. But, what was her stylist thinking? This could just be a bad angle, Jennifer Love Hewitt, but I’m thinking not. Someone needs to get better clothes to hide her huge hips. I thought Kelly was doing awesome in her weight loss. I don’t think it’s fair that someone picked out her clothes to make her look huge. Kelly, call me, I’ll hook ya up!

Sanjaya’s Crying Girl Found a New Man: Jason Castro!

Jason Castro makes me cry, too.  You know he can’t smell too good with those big-ass dreads!

Ashley Ferl from Riverside, CA was known as “the crying girl” last season when she burst into a fit of tears after being wooed by Sanjaya.  But now, Sanjaya is off the set and there’s a new man to woo Ashley’s nimble heart.

Jason Castro is the new man that wets her Kleenex. People reports that when Jason took a seat on the stage for his interview last night, Ashley burst into tears.

Wahh!  If Jason goes home tonight I’LL be the one crying!  Ashley’s so cute, she should take Ryan Seacrest’s job.  At least she’s taller.

David Cook Hospitalized

After David Cook’s performance of Dolly Parton’s “Little Sparrow” on American Idol last night, he was admitted to the hospital for experiencing heart palpitations and high blood pressure.

Cook was reportedly “not feeling well earlier in the day and the Idol medics told him his blood pressure was too high and he should go to the hospital. DC decided to wait it out. After the show, he was driven to a private doctor who gave him some” medication.

Cook has since been released and should be at eliminations tonight.

Simon Cowell
Why am I not surprised? Simon Cowell says that he spies on his neighbors Leonardo DiCaprio, John Travolta and Christina Aguilera. And he even uses a telescope to do it!

“It isn’t powerful enough to see into their homes - so you can’t see them in the shower - but you can see into their gardens,” Simon told London’s Mirror. “It’s great fun. I just like to keep an eye on what is happening.”

I’m sure he likes to see what’s going on…How rude!

‘If I Fell’ in Love with Jason Castro, Would I Have to Grow Dreads?

Caution: Nice commentary from me approaching!

Jason Castro sang “If I Fell” on last night’s Beatles American Idol. Despite lukewarm reviews from the judges, I thought it was decent. Have you noticed he makes the funniest expressions when he sings? I wonder if people around him get a contact high. Anyway…I thought other songs might have been better-suited for Castro, like “Across the Universe” or *cough* “Yesterday”, but I thought this was definitely one of the night’s better performances. I have to disagree with Bumpshack on this one…I’m a f
