Diana DeGarmo is one busy lady!  I just wrote a post about her stint as the narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and now it’s been announced that she will join the cast of  Off-Broadway’s The Toxic Avenger in August.
I know that Diana is going to be amazing as Sarah, "the sexy, blind librarian." In a statement, she said: "I am so excited to be coming back to New York to join the cast of The Toxic Avenger. When I saw the show, I laughed my head off. I can’t wait to start rehearsal – and to be …read more

Two of my favorite former American Idol finalists have been tapped to perform in the Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma’s upcoming production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.  Diana DeGarmo will be the narrator while Anthony Federov has been given the lead role of Joseph!
I know that they are going to be great in this show and I really wish I could see it but Oklahoma is just too far away.  Are any of you going?  I’d love to hear about it!
The show will run from July 21-25, 2009.  I can tell you that tickets start at only $28 …read more

I am happy to report that Diana DeGarmo’s stalker has be sentenced to two years and two months in prison after being convicted for the second time in three years.  She will, however, be eligible for parole in a year.
According to Radar Online, the 23-year-old cyber-stalker, Tanya Maree Quattrocchi, “pleaded guilty to accusations she hacked into the MySpace account of DeGarmo and intercepted the e-mails of her roommate and mother.”
She has made Diana’s life really difficult and I honestly think that the woman is not only dangerous but she’s also in dire need of some mental help (and I …read more

An Australian woman who allegedly stalked American Idol season 3 runner-up, Diana DeGarmo, has been denied bail.
Oddly enough, the cyber-stalking began back in May 2007 when Tanye Maree Quattrocci, 23, was convicted of blackmailing and stalking DeGarmo.  The whole situation would have ended with Quattrocci completing her community service but the woman just could not stay away.  She subsequently hacked into DeGarmo’s MySpace account 700 times between May 2008 and January 2009.  How is that even possible!?
The next hearing for Quattrocci will be held on May 1, 2009 but the woman had tried to petition the court to …read more

After announcing the release of the new albums by Kelly Clarkson and Taylor Hicks, I got many emails from you readers reminding me that there was another American Idol releasing music this week. 
Diana DeGarmo has released an EP titled “Unplugged in Nashville” which is now available on CD Baby, Itunes and Rhapsody.  Here is the tracklisting:

Kiss Me
Like I’m Not Even Here
Thank You
Find Me

The songs are all acoustic so the focus is on Diana’s pure vocals which, of course, are amazing.  I’d love to hear what you guys thought of the music.

American Idol season 3 runner-up, Diana DeGarmo, is currently appearing in Oz: The Musical and this video of her, singing “I’m Here” as Dorothy, was uploaded to YouTube a couple days ago.  Predictably, she’s amazing. 

To see tour dates here, visit the official website of Oz: The Musical.  I wish she was coming to a city close to me!

I just came back from the private opening of the American Idol Experience at Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios and I had a blast.  I’m thoroughly exhausted but it really was a lot of fun.  Disney really knows how to put on a show and I am extremely grateful to them for the fabulous trip!
I will cover the event in three parts (motorcade, American Idol Experience show and the after-party) over the next three days.  Today, I’ll kick things off by telling you all about the American Idol motorcade. 
The blue carpet was rolled out for …read more

American Idol season three runner-up, Diana DeGarmo, was a featured guest on PopTub this past week.  Wondering what Poptub is?  It’s a YouTube channel, sponsored by Pepsi, that highlights “YouTube stars, the best viral videos, undiscovered gems, and your favorite celebrities.” 
They talked to Diana about a variety of topics but, of course, they began by talking about American Idol but then they asked about the YouTube videos she watches (she said she likes to watch 80s music videos like Quarterflash’s “Harden My Heart”).  It’s a cute little segment.  Watch it here:

American Idol season 1 runner-up, Justin Guarini announced on his BlogTalkRadio show that he has joined the cast of the third season of CMT’s Gone Country. 
He follows in the footsteps of Diana DeGarmo (runner-up of season 3 of American Idol) who appeared on the last season of Gone Country.  It’s been great for her career and I think her new music really suits her.  Hopefully, Justin can find the same kind of success from being on the show.  Regardless, it should be interesting to see how he fits in to the genre!
