Thanks for the news, Netizen. It's Kelly's first #1 in the UK, even though several of her singles have gone top 10 there before. The album is officially released domestically a week from today. It's already been released in some European markets.
Glad to post it. I came across it while looking at something else.
Well, guess Jason Castro won't be on Idol this week after all...wonder who will be the "surprise" guest this week?
I'd add song selection to the list -- she kept trying to be a Mariah/Whitney style "diva", but she is much better suited to a more husky/vamp style. Ertha Kitt or even Marilyn Monroe would have been better role models for her.
I agree. She just wasn’t THAT good. She could get most of the song, but, when she clunked, SHE CLUNKED. Didn’t she put out a CD afterwards?
You have homegirls? LMAO
Yes, it didn’t do very well and she was dropped from her record label.
But she was picked up by another label and is supposed to have another album out by the end of the year.
Don't know about this week, but Kelly Clarkson is scheduled to perform on AI March 11.
She did, and it did, indeed, flop. It sold about 375,000 copies. She is just not cut out for pop, but she signed a deal with the Verve label in January, and her new album is scheduled for a late 2009 release. Verve, a division of Universal, is known as a jazz label. With the right kind of music, marketed in the right way, McPhee could find an audience in the adult contemporary genre.
Maybe they will have Melinda Doolittle since she has a new album out.
Here's a candid photo of him in the back of a limo with his latest flame, Australian pop singer and model Sophie Monk. They were leaving the L.A. nightclub, Foxtail, when a paparazzo snapped the pic through the car window.
Sophie is just the latest in a string of pretty women Seacrest has been quietly dating. Among his former dates/girlfriends:
Erica Lancellotti, a NYC bartender and business owner.
Mexican singer Paulina Rubio.
That first pic, he face looks plastic. He doesn’t seem overly ‘attentive’. Same for that last pic, what with the limp arm and all.
That should be ‘her face looks plastic’. She looks old.
LOL! Neti...they were just getting into the back seat when that pic was shot. How attentive can two people look when they are just sliding into the back seat of a car and they have paparazzi pointing cameras at them? As for the limp arm in the last pic, maybe that's one indicator of why she's an ex-girlfriend now. Seacrest seems to go through girlfriends pretty quickly.
You're right, though. The Australian chick does look like she's had a little too much plastic surgery. ;-)
Oh, it looked to me like they had been in the car a bit. Wonder who is on her right in the white shirt. Anyway, yeah she looks OLD.
Gotta go for a bit. See ya later. :)
I never heard of Sophie Monk until I came across that item about Ryan dating her. According to Wikipedia, she was born 14 December 1979, which means she turned 29 last December. Regarding the men in her life, Wikipedia has this to say:
Monk has had a tabloid reported private life, including a period dating actor Jude Law. Monk started dating Benji Madden in 2006, but in January 2008, media outlets reported that the couple had split up. Monk had returned to Australia alone, almost a year to the day since Madden proposed. On February 12, 2008 it was officially announced by Monk's Sydney agent, Yoon Kim, that "Sophie and Benji have officially split. The decision was mutual and they remain amicable." Three months later, Monk was linked to Ryan Seacrest.
29 is “old”?
I must be a fossil!
OMG! He is really really GAY! Not just happy.
Gross!
