Here’s some news. American Idol Extra, from the FOX Reality Channel, will premier on Thursday, March 17 at 10 PM ET/PT. The past 2 seasons, Matthew Rogers (S3, 11th place) and Mikalah Gordon (S4, 11th place) were co-hosts.
TPTB have decided to mix things up a bit:
This year the show will get even more up-close and personal, and host JD Roberto will have the first full interview with the departing contestants of American Idol directly from the studios.
Roberto, who returns to host American Idol Extra for the second time, is joined by two new co-hosts, Constantine Maroulis and Gina Glocksen, who have experienced American Idol firsthand. Constantine was a finalist during the fourth season of American Idol and Gina made it to the final 12 during last year’s Idol season.
Congrats to Gina for scoring a post-idol gig. And, I’m counting on Constantine to bring the CHEESE. You know he will.
Oooh. I may have to watch this again this year. Gotta have a dose of cheese once in awhile!
Didn’t I read here? somewhere else? that Matt Rogers was coaching sports in some high school? So much for Idol glory.
LOL at Constantine’s photo. Does he ever take a picture without “staring longingly” into the camera?
ooooo - I will be watching for sure….
Gina has all her shots up to date, doesn’t she?
If not, she might want to invest in a taser.
I guess it’s a step up from calling bingo numbers.
MJ, I think jersey is daring you to post the armpit sniffing picture.
I should have posted that one instead!
I’m no longer sorry that I don’t get that channel!
Gina will be good but Constantine?
Coaching sports for a high shool is not that bad at all at least Mat has a degree and a bowl ring from coledge. Matt also had some gigs on the discovery channel as a host and is married with a kids. Do not be petty at least he has a degree unlike some that do not.
If Jordan has trouble selling a quick million Gina who is older may find it a little hard. Constintine does stay in the news or gets his name out thier.
gah! Not the arm pit pic!
Why?! Why that douchebag?? Out of so many better idols?? Like Ace Young? I don’t get it…
I know that some well-aimed tomatoes are going to be aimed my way, but, I have to…
The armpit picture?
Sigh, so dreamy. . .

THAT armpit pic!
I remember that one now…
Many thanks, cheese!
I KNEW I forgot that picture for a reason!
Ace has said that he’s performing at the Top 24 Party on Feb. 12 (or is it the 14th?). In any case, I hope Idol Extra covers it. I’d love to get a glimpse of him performing his new music.
Can’t wait to see Constantine!
