Season 6’s Chris Richardson recently mentioned in a My Space bulletin that he and Melinda Doolittle had gone out to San Fransisco for a photo shoot for Dreyer’s Ice Cream.
Now it appears to be official–Chris and Melinda will be this year’s offishul spokespeople for the Dryer’s/Edy’s American Idol ice cream promotion. Check it OUT. And if you live on the East coast the company is called Edy’s.
My friend Schmanda called this one. Schmanda won an ice cream party at her house hosted by Season 5 7th place winner Ace Young. The contest was part of Dryer’s interactive American Idol promotion that featured a vote-off between ice cream flavors. Whee! Gotta love those tie-ins. ETA: OMG Check out the jingles for each Ice Cream flavor (under Flavor Performances). I hope Chris and Melinda are being paid well. Heh.
By all accounts, Schmanda and her friends had a swell time at the party, with Ace as a gracious and charming host.
Afterward, Schmanda mentioned to me that the affable and outgoing Chris Richardson would be perfect to host the Season 7 parties.
I guess she and TPTB at Dryer’s had some sort of mind-meld! Wow. Afterward, she sent me the links to the websites. Thanks Schmanda!
Deets: Melinda and Chris will work separately, hosting parties in different cities. You can check out their schedules, plus interviews and performances at the Dryer’s/Edy’s websites. Vote for your favorite ice cream flavor in order to enter the contest.
Winner of the Hartford party? Invite me! Heh.

Cool beans. I’m still jellus of Schmanda, though. And Lu. Sniff. Sniff.
I guess Dreyers thought the first one was a success!
Where is Sarah? Sarah, you totally need to get your boyfriend to your house for a ice cream party.
I’m having a flashback to Schmanda’s ice cream party… Is it warm in here?
Tara, my thoughts EXACTLY. :) The problem is, the party is in Tampa and you have to have a Tampa address to register, I think.
SPENSE?! Where are you?? ;)
they have two special videos of melinda performing “there will come a day” and c-rich melinda doing a beat box battle on the website :)
You should take note to also click on each of the ice cream flavors for the jingles Chris and Melinda sing in the background. They’re cute and fun.
Sarah, how far out of Tampa are you? IIRC when I entered last year, they wanted people something within like 15-20 miles of the city in question. I don’t know if they’ve made it more stringent for this year, but FWIW I actually live about 15 miles outside of Richmond.
Heya, Lu! So, as soon as you heard that Kat was bringing her special brand of Fail to the Orange Bowel, did you also get the same sense of impending doom I did? *throws holy water at McPhee* I knew you’d jinx VT!
I live in Orlando, Schmanda. It’s about 60 miles away, so too far, period. Unless they’ve let up a little on the rules, I’m out.
Aww, Sarah. Chicago isn’t on the list this year, either. Not that I won last year. Milwaukee is though.
Hey Schmanda!!!! I’m trying to watch this game but it is nerve wracking!!!!
Hi Schmanda!
Holy crap, those jingles are HILARIOUS. You guys must check them out…
I feel bad that Melinda has to sing those songs about ice cream. It’s just sad.
