Top 10 |
CBS reports: From the home office in Wahoo,
Nebraska... THE "LATE SHOW" TOP TEN "Things I Learned from ‘American Idol’"
As presented by Sanjaya Malakar, the most recent contestant voted off “American
Idol,” on the Monday, April 23 broadcast of the LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN,
seen weeknights (11:35 PM12:37 AM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
10. The camera adds ten pounds to your
mohawk.
9. Work hard and make sacrifices, you
can finish in 7th place.
8. It’s very important to “Keep it real,
dawg.”
7. I should have gone for the immunity
idol – oh wait, that’s “Survivor.”
6. On-camera Simon is a bit nasty, but
off-camera, he’s a total jerk.
5. Voting for yourself 100 times an hour
causes some wicked carpal tunnel.
4. When you forget the words, just do
this. (Sanjaya belts out a riff like“Ohhhhhhhh”)
3. Honestly, I thought I was auditioning
for “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?”
2. Nothing.

Years of Doro |
PR reports: Locomotive Records celebrates
two decades of Doro with the May 22 release of 20 Years: A Warrior Soul,
a double-DVD visual treat filmed in state-of-the-art DVD9 format, plus
bonus CD.
The first disc is 90 minutes of behind-the-scenes
documentary-styled concert footage of the Metal Queen’s triumphant Euro-Russian
tour, 11 tunes in all, six from Warrior Soul. It’s a never-before-seen
look inside the soul of this woman as she meets and greets her fans backstage,
revs up pre-show with her band and relaxes post-show. Plus, footage from
inside the tourbus itself is juxtaposed with Doro philosophizing about
her life. [see full story for more]- Click

To Take Cheese to a Whole New Level |
TMZ reports: "American Idol" will raise the
dead on Wednesday and feature a performance with Celine Dion and ... Elvis
Presley?!
While "A.I." teased their "Idol Gives Back"
charity benefit by revealing that "two of the biggest stars in musical
history come together," sources at last week's taping tell TMZ that Celine
sang Elvis Presley's hit, "If I Can Dream" -- with an Elvis impersonator!
Ugh! But we're told the impersonator was just used as a stand-in, and what
you will actually see when the show airs is Celine singing with a virtual
Elvis -- in the vein of Natalie Cole and Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable."
Unbelievable!
At the taping, the remaining "Idol" wannabes
also sang with Celine and Elvis, but as backup in the choir. Hallelujah!
Elvis died nearly thirty years ago, while Celine has been singing at Caesars
Palace in Vegas for the last four.[see full story for more]-

Uses Girl Talk in MashUp Debate |
PR reports: Girl Talk’s Gregg Gillis has decided
to throw in the towel. Don’t freak out Girl Talk fans, he’s not throwing
in that particular towel. The towel we speak of refers to Gillis’ day job
as a biomedical engineer that up until now has kept him from taking on
more remix projects and touring on a regular basis.
Pittsburgh based U.S. Congressman Mike
Doyle (D - PA) recently joined the company of such reputable musicians
as Beck and Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips that have taken notice of Gillis
by recently acknowledging the buzz-worthy laptop rocker on the floor of
Congress. [see full story for more]- Click
