American Idol alum Jordin Sparks made a delightful appearance on Today with Kathy and Hoda last week to discuss her career and blossoming relationship with fellow artist, Jason Derulo.

You know, the guy that says his name at the beginning of all his songs?

The newly svelte 22-year-old looked absolutely beautiful as she chatted it up on the early morning talk show and didn’t bat an eye when Hoda brought up the purity ring she famously wore during her run on Idol.

You know what, I switch it from day to day — I don’t wear it exactly every day anymore. . . I can’t say what’s going to happen a couple months from now, or whatever. People grow, you know.

We think it’s cool that Jordin has enough conviction to rock the ring at all - and apparently NFL star Tim Tebow agrees.  Last week, the Denver Bronco’s quarterback Tweeted a picture of he and Sparks along with the caption, “Absolute pleasure meeting @JordinSparks! Awesome girl!”

Whatever your belief system, you have to admire someone willing to stand up for their convictions – especially in Hollywood.

American Idol alum Adam Lambert and his boyfriend, Finnish Big Brother star Sauli Koskinen were both taken into police custody last night, after the pair got into a lovers quarrel outside a gay nightclub.

And by “lovers quarrel” we mean a drop down, drag out fist fight.  Yeah, you read that right.

Lambert and Koskinen have since been released from Finnish prison and while the “Whataya Want from Me” singer is yet to comment on the incident, Koskinen immediately took to his blog to weigh in on his brush with the law.  (The following was translated by Finnish sources.)

Publicity is not easy, but also celebrities are just human. Love is not easy either, but it lasts forever!

After that he thanks for a great evening and assures that despite what happened everything is fine.

P.S. By the way, paparazzi, the police also has back doors… So go home already!

I’m not 100% sure what that all means, but from what I can gather, Sauli wants the paparazzi to leave his relationship with Adam (who’s obviously a very caring and supportive partner…) alone.

Um, maybe it’s time to think about going your separate ways boys.

Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson knows that it always better to give than to receive.

That’s why the Weight Watchers spokeswoman gave herself an early Christmas gift of a $6 million dollar mansion in Burr Ridge, a suburb of Chicago – the singer’s hometown.

The 12,000 square foot home features six-bedrooms, seven-bathrooms and, according to Zillow.com.

…A heated garage, a theatre and two laundry rooms…

It also comes with a luxurious kitchen space, a finished walk-out basement and cherry hardwood floors. There is also a large dining area, big lounge, a music room with grand piano and a games room.

Hudson will be joined in her new home by fiancé David Otunga and their 2-year-old son, David Jr.  Happy Housewarming!!!

Thanks goodness!  Because what the heck was I going to watch once X Factor and The Singing Bee ended?

The premiere date for FOX’s mega-successfull reality hit, American Idol was announced earlier today and it looks like we only have to wait a little over a month to get our fix!  Host Ryan Seacrest, and judges Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson will be back January 18th, 19th AND 22nd with a three-part A.I. premiere.

Woo-hoo!

Check out the promo for A.I. 2012 below and get pumped!

American Idol winner Scotty McCreey was a special guest at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade yesterday, but apparently, no one told his lips they were invited to the party…

The 18-year-old country artist became the object of ridicule, when he began lip syncing several seconds after his single, “The Trouble with Girls” began playing on the air.

Awwwwkward.

To his credit, the fairly green performer didn’t seem to miss a step and kept right on mouthing the words to his marginally successful first tune.

Check out a video of the Thanksgiving Day flub below…

Although most fans may be more excited about seeing Kristen Stewart tie the knot in the upcoming Twilight film, Breaking Dawn, for now they will have to settle for seeing fellow Twilight actress Nikki Reed walk down the aisle – for real!

Reed, who plays vampire Rosalie Hale in the Twilight saga, married American Idol finalist Paul McDonald last Sunday in Malibu, CA.  The bride wore a strapless Tacori gown, which featured a “romantic, embellished neckline, fitted bodice and a dramatic 72-inch train.”

While some may consider the couple’s romance a bit of a whirlwind (they’ve only been together since March of this year) the two seemed deeply love when they said “I do.”.

Check Out Footage from Nikki’s Nuptials…

You’d think that when American Idol winner Scotty McCreery was invited to sing the National Anthem before the first game of the 2011 World Series Championship, the kid would’ve logged some pretty serious rehearsal time.

You’d think that.  But then you’d be wrong.

McCreery added his name to the long list of celebrity performers who’ve flubbed the lyrics to “The Star Spangled Banner” – including Christina Aguilera, Jesse McCartney and Michael Bolton - when he mis-sang the last verse of the song, ”Oh say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave.” as ”No Jose does that Star Spangled banner yet wave”.

C’mon Scotty.  Everyone knows that Jose goes at the beginning of the song - Jose can you seeeeee!

To be fair, the National Anthem isn’t the easiest of songs and maybe the 18-year-old’s nerves got the best of him, but this is the first game of The World Series we’re talking about here – write the lyrics on your hand or something!

GOSH!

OMG!! Actress Nikki Reed, best known for playing the role of Rosalie Hale in The Twilight Saga, is officially dating ousted American Idol contestant, Paul McDonald. No kidding!!

Nikki and Paul met when the Idol hopefuls were taken to the “Red Riding Hood” premiere (watch video here). The dating rumors started a couple of weeks ago. And Paul lost no time gushing about his incredibly supportive girlfriend as soon as he was eliminated from the competition last night.

“[Nikki's] supercool,” Paul said. “She’s been real supportive of this whole thing. She’s actually pumped up now because she likes my original material way better than all the stuff I do on the show.”

“It was weird. I haven’t ever actually watched any of her movies. I don’t know too much of her career at all, but the person she is super cool.”

“I told her I’m not watching any of [her movies] for a long time… She said, ‘I don’t want you watching’ and I was like ‘I don’t want to!’”

Paul, Paul, Paul. So Nikki supports your career and actually listens to your music and you won’t see her movies… bad boyfriend! I understand why, but if he is not even curious, that’s just wrong.

Paul also confessed he and Nikki are so busy that they don’t spent much time together. But they Skype!! Congratulations to Nikki and Paul! Do you think they make a hot couple, or what??

NOOO! American Idol season 7 runner-up David Archuleta was reportedly dropped by his record label, Jive Records, due to poor sales of his latest album “The Other Side Of Down”.

The 20 year-old singer’s 2010 album sold only 67,000 copies, which is totally shameful when compared with his self-titled 2008 debut album. “David Archuleta” went platinum with more than a million copies sold.

David tweeted, “Hey guys, just want to let you know you fans are awesome haha. Just want to let you know I am excited for the opportunities ahead Thanks for the support you continue to show! Means a lot. Just wanted to check in let you know things are going where I feel they should.”

David is such a talented kid. We wish him the best and hope he can quickly snag a fantastic record deal. Go David! We, Idol fans, LOVE you!
