I always associate the Jerry Lewis Telethon with the Labor Day weekend so I was happy to see a couple familiar faces on the program encouraging viewers to give money to cure Muscular Dystrophy. 
Ace Young (Season 5) co-hosted the event and then graced the stage with performances of “It Had To Be You” (one of my favorites since I used it for my first dance at my wedding!) and “Come Together.”  It was a sweet and classy set and, of course, Ace looked as cute as ever!  Check out the video.

Bo Bice (runner-up, Season 4) also took to the …read more

According to Usmagazine.com, former American Idol finalist, Ace Young is engaged to his Grease co-star.  The 28-year-old has been dating Allison Fischer, 20, and says that he found his “true love in Grease.”

I don’t know how long the two have been dating but he must have met her sometime during his Broadway run between September 9, 2008 to January 4, 2009.  Anyone know some more details?  Leave them in the comments.  I know that they probably haven’t been dating long and there is an age difference but you never know – it could be true love!

Fellow American Idol site, BuddyTV has an exclusive interview with former American Idol Anthony Federov.
I always liked Anthony’s voice and he had a great background story for himself as well. The BuddyTV interview gives us more information about Anthony and of course some of his opinions on the current American Idol 6th season.
Here’s Anthony’s response to a question about his own experience on American Idol:
Well, my experiences on the show…where do I start?  It was definitely a rollercoaster.  I mean, I know it is a cliché and everybody says it, but it really is in every sense of the word.  …read more

Okay, now we’re back from the fourteenth million commercial break and in to the 2nd hour of the premiere.
First up is someone doing the Cowardly Lion from Wizard of Oz. Go back to Oz. You’re not that unique and you can’t sing. See you later. Use the right door. Oops…she didn’t.
Vocal teacher in green shirt, you’d hope this guy can sing. “I Don’t Want to Miss A Thing” by Aerosmith. He uses a pitch pipe. You’d expect that from a vocal coach wouldn’t you. OUCH! High pitch noises in falsetto, I can’t take it! Randy is really being hardcore. …read more

The Molly Good site has given us a poser alert. Ace Young is trying to milk some red-carpet goodness from the Boyz II Men crew. Can someone please tell me what in the world Ace is doing with these guys? For that matter, where have these guys been lately anyway?

A recent post at LiveJournal has the scoop on just what exactly the Season 5 idols are experiencing with their life on the road, and just what they think about the life now that they’ve got a few months under their belt.
Katharine doesn’t really like life on the road and isn’t a big fan of the potential idea for the show to introduce song writing as part of the criteria and judging experience.

“I would call my boyfriend and just cry hysterically and literally feel ill,” McPhee said. “I never did overcome the stress until now that the show is over.”
