Lordy Cookie REALLY sells that song. He really, really does. Reggie Hamm was just on NY’s Fox 5 news here and they did a really nice piece on his story about the Olympics and TOML.

Like mother, like son… American Idol David Cook seems to be inspiring an entire family in North Carolina.

Some mother’s teach their kids to play patty-cake, or itsy-bitsy spider. But, in this case, this Youtube two-year-old is learning to love David Cook.

I do believe the fact that Jason mentioned his computer had crashed, and, the fans wanting to buy him one, and, then he got a new one, fueled the rumors. I agree that the gift giving to the idols is over the top. They all will make a handsome living post Idol.

I was friends with a girl and her Mom who followed a group around and had expensive presents waiting for them at all the stops. From what I saw, it was more of a need for attention for themselves rather than just adoring the band. Though, I do think the t-shirt giving and smallish items are cute. Loved the suitcase article! Maybe Michael J. will start getting packs of underpants now. He shouldn't have opened his mouth! ROTFL

Companies routinely give celebrities free stuff in order to promote their products. Often it's big-ticket items like computers, expensive jewelry and cell phones.

Oh, and those fans worrying that their Idol is going to go broke after the tour, there's a whole world of private and corporate gigs that offer a nice living, at least in the short run.

They should check their facts before they post, but So does Vote for the Worst.

It wasn't meant to be. I too have issues with the large gifts to a certain extent, but it's just that Jason has taken a beating for it these past few days and while I understand and agree with many of the concerns, at this point some of these sites are just running with any ole half baked information in a quest to prove their point. It doesn't seem to matter if what they report is accurate. Sorry poporange if that sounded rude. It wasn’t meant to be.

She was a good actress with a bright future in acting, once. IMO, people should be able to spend their money as they wish. I really wouldn't want people that I don't know to decided how I should spend the money that I make. The money spent going out to dinner, going to a movie, going to a concert, going to Vegas, collecting stamps, buying art, giving a gift should be the choice of the person making the money.
