AmIdol thirteenth placer Ayla Brown (remember her? college basketball? dad was a Senator? rough life? yeah.) apparently released an album,
Forward (oh lord please tell me that’s the position she played on her basketball team), on October 17 after signing with Double Deal Records in late August (yeah, we haven’t heard of ‘em either). I know this only because a song from it, “Thanks to You,” just came on my
Pandora box. It’s a slow, ballad type of song. It’s not awful.
I love this quote from today, posted on her website:
“This past week, ‘Forward’ sold 244 copies, up from 211 the previous week. After three weeks, total sales are at roughly 800 copies.”
Wow! Look out, Kevin Federline! You’ve got competition!
From
Variety:
A sitcom star is born: Fox is developing a half-hour comedy revolving around “American Idol” finalist Kellie Pickler.
Pickler will play a naive small-town Southern girl — a character based on herself — who discovers that her biological father is the state’s well-respected governor. His presidential dreams are put in jeopardy, but the two form a father-daughter relationship that winds up helping his standing in the polls.
Expect Kat McPhee to be talking loudly about her eating disorder by early next week.
Today, November 9, is both their birthdays! Awww….
Rumors have been circulating for quite some time that Lachey plans to propose tonight. What do you think? We’ll keep you posted…
Yay!
Sorry, Evil T. ;)
If you guys have any suggestions for our President about how to untangle this Iraq business, he is totally all ears. Not like Ross Perot is, but you know what I mean.

That always-relevant-just-not-for-making-movies Baldwin, Daniel, was arrested in Santa Monica on charges of drug possession and the driving of a car that was, technically, not his own. This is the second time this year that the 46-year-old has been arrested on drug charges in Santa Monica, putting him in that very elite stratosphere of celeb drug problems where George Michael is king.
To hear the Santa Monica Daily Press tell it, cops on routine patrol spotted Baldwin leaving a hotel, and, because he is Daniel Baldwin, thought they should probably run the license plate on the Yukon he was driving. They discovered the vehicle Daniel Baldwin was driving was stolen (just an average day patrolling Santa Monica), then raided Daniel Baldwin’s hotel room (still pretty routine), where they found the drugs and drug paraphernalia (yup). Baldwin was booked at Santa Monica Jail, and his bail was set at $20,000.
