another week of fun


Hope everyone had a great weekend. Some brief items of AI gossip...first, in another "Idol" love connection, Blake Lewis might be enjoying a fling with ousted semifinalist Antonella Barba, according to this article.

You probably remember Antonella as the mediocre singer who ignited this season's first major scandal with her provocative pics that surfaced online. Anyway, the article notes that Antonella showed up for a recent taping of the show, when "Blake Lewis managed to catch Antonella's eye right at the end of the evening and blew her a kiss." It adds, "...she promptly reciprocated and he 'caught' the airborne kiss and held it close to his chest."

Awww. Think Chris Richardson is jealous?

Also, this article discusses the likelihood of Phil Stacey heading to Iraq post-AI. Phil, an active duty petty officer 3rd class and a vocalist with the Navy Band Southeast in Jacksonville, Fla., could be asked to volunteer for a musical tour in Iraq. More importantly, though, the article touches on some interesting points regarding the way Phil could heighten Navy recruiting efforts.

It'll be interesting to see where he ends up. One fan recently told me Phil, as a country singer, could end up being the biggest seller of all this season's contestants, since country fans seem to buy records pretty religiously.

That's all for now. Get ready for the top 4 on Tuesday.

Found your blog by looking for one about "American Idol".

I'm looking forward to the "Top 4" this week as well.
