American Idol Winner Cancels Summer Tour

If you are a fan of the Season One “American Idol” winner Kelly Clarkson, you may be disappointed to hear that she has cancelled her summer tour dates, reportedly due to poor ticket sales. This news comes just days after Clarkson announced that she was splitting from her manager, Jeff Kwatinetz of The Firm management group. On her official web site, Kelly said, “In the craziness of the music business, performing is what I look forward to doing the most, so it really is disappointing for me to have to tell you that I won’t be coming out to tour … Continue reading →

Has American Idol Gone Too Far?

I must admit that I only became hooked on American Idol last year. And then that was only because I had someone ask me to blog about it. I had never understood the fascination with the show. I didn’t even start watching last year until they were almost finished with Hollywood. But, I must admit, once I started watching, I was caught up in it. By the end of the season, I was calling in constantly, voting for Taylor. I could not wait until this season started. Apparently, I was not the only one. There were 37.3 million other people … Continue reading →

“American Idol” Winner Turns Into Big Loser

What does it take to be given a private tour of the White House by the President of the Untied States? I would guess you would have to be a head of state, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, or at the very least, a friend of the first couple’s twin daughters Jenna and Barbara. But, apparently all you need to do (not that I can do it) is to sing well in front of millions week after week. If you haven’t already heard, 10 “American Idol” finalists had the opportunity to “hang” with the president at the White House on … Continue reading →

Seinfeld Seasons 1-7 Only $99.99 shipped

It was the show about nothing that captivated Americans across the nation. My husband still watches it several times a week; I can tell because the guffawing can be heard from one end of the house to the other. It’s humor for adults; sometimes wry, sometimes blatant, always funny. One of my favorite episodes is of George pretending to be a marine biologist. He figures it’s a safe enough lie and that he’ll never be found out. Of course a whale gets stuck on a the beach where he and his new girlfriend are, and he gets found out. Everybody … Continue reading →
