back in the saddle

Can you blame me for taking a month off post-"Idol" finale? Don't answer that. Anyway, this blog is back in action now. And boy, what a difference a month makes. Here's a rundown of what's transpired in "Idol" land since I last blogged:

*Clay Aiken is going to be a dad. (Artificially.)

*Ruben Studdard is getting married. (Not to a Big Mac.)

*Blake Lewis got dropped from his record label.

*Former contestant Vonzell Solomon got caught with a gun in the airport. And her house is being sold in foreclosure.

*Syesha modeled bikinis.

*Everybody and their mother from last season is working on an album.

*The tour is coming up!

Wow. Looks like I didn't miss that much after all. Stay tuned.
