Kris Allen Proves Why He's Our American Idol!


There's been a lot of controversy today about the American Idol results last week. Apparently some AT&T representatives attended a party in Arkansas and handed out cell phones and gave lessons on how to text. It's being said that the representatives even taught party-goers how to cheat and send multiple text vote at once. Since Arkansas is Kris Allen's home town, many people believe that this cheating could have been the reason why Allen won.

However, the American Idol spokespeople have stated that Kris won fair and square, and he apparently won by a mile.

If the sales number of the final 2 contestant's singles are any indicator, Kris Allen is America's favorite choice.

Kris Allen has sold a total of 134,458 copies of his version of "No Boundaries" this week, while runner-up Adam Lambert has only sold a mere 35,948 copies. Ouch! Burn Lambert, Burn!

Aqua is Back!

The band responsible for bringing you the fun, up-beat song, "Barbie Girl" making a comeback! They have a new song out called "Back to the 80's" and they will have a new Greatest Hits Album, featuring a total of three news songs, out on July 15th.

Listen to the song here!


What do you think of it? It's certainly not quite as catchy as "Barbie Girl", but think it is still a good song.

Twitter to be made into a TV show?


Yes, sadly it's true. The social networking site and celeb-crazed site Twitter will be getting it's own television series. It is still unknown as to which TV station will air it or when it will be aired, but the show is said to cover the lives of tweeters. I think this show is doomed. Seriously, who cares about the lives of tweeters? According to TMZ.com, as of the time this blog is being posted, 92% of TMZ's readers feel that this show will be a lame epic failure and only 22% of the readers even have a twitter account. *Sigh*. I think it's best for social networking sites to just stick to the web.
