Carly Smithson, an American Idol hopeful this year had a previous record deal. Smithson whose maiden name is Hennessy signed with MCA in 1999. Her album was released in 2001 but never reached sales of 1,000 units. It is within American Idol rules to have had a prior deal just not be currently under contract. Yet, the controversy continues…is she a ringer?

From the first time I saw Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, I knew he reminded me of someone I’d seen before. I couldn’t put my finger on it, though. It was driving me nuts.
Then it hit me. I knew exactly who he looked like:
Mitt Romney looks like Guy Smiley from Sesame Street.
In fact, I’ll go one step further. I think Mitt Romney IS Guy Smiley.
What’s my proof?
Has anyone ever seen them in the same room at the same time?
Askmen.com has come out with their Top 10 Up and Coming Actresses for 2008 list. I gotta be honest, I have never heard any of these names before but I am curious to come back a year from now and see how many of these names I know. I guess the stars we know now were at one point, up and comers.
Good luck to all!!
In the 1970’s I used to watch the TV show, ” One Day at A Time” with Valerie Bertinelli. As a girl about the same age as her character, Valerie was an idol of mine, perky, beautiful and all the boys wanted her. Well, she got a man alright. In 1981 she married Eddie Van Halen, a guitarist and mega rock star of the time. Her life seemed charmed. As I’ve learned performers are people too and the pedastal they are on, are coming from the admirers, not them. After seven years of separation, Eddie Van Halen and Valerie Bertinelli marriage is officially over. Their divorce is final. I just hope my 70’s idol finds happiness again.
One of my favorite bands of all time has to be Linkin Park. The band made a major change in 2007, altering the formula that gave them two hit albums. In 2007, the band moved more into their songwriting craft and showed some different influences and more singing on their most recent album “Minutes to Midnight.”
“Minutes to Midnight” debuted at number one when it was released in May. The album was recently named the third best selling album of 2007 by Billboard. The “High School Musical 2 Soundtrack” was number one and Daughtry’s self titled album as number two.
