Latest Idol News - CMT Awards and Kelly’s New Single

Carrie Underwood performed last night at the Country Music Television Awards, and as usual, she took home several of the awards–Video of the Year and Female Video of the Year for “Before He Cheats,” and Roman White, who directed “Before He Cheats” won Video Director of the year.

Kellie Pickler who presented last night was nominated in the Best Breakthrough Video for “Red High Heels,” but lost out to Taylor Swift.

Check out Kelly Clarkson’s new single at AOL.com.  It’s called “Never Again” and it’s from her upcoming album “My December,” due to be released this summer.

Good news from Variety about The Color Purple’s first week sales numbers with Fantasia in the cast:

American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino’s first week in the starring role of “Purple” shot weekly sales for the Broadway tuner up by a staggering $366,598 to $1,183,722. The take reps the musical’s highest tally ever for an eight-perf week.

VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club, which features Kimberley Locke will premier this Sunday at 9 pm. 

And, oddly, Paris Bennett has joined Vote for the Worst in their quest to make Sanjaya Malakar the new American Idol.  Paris says, she “and a few other contestants” are using the Web site to “screw with the results.”  “We want to see him [Sanjaya] win because it’ll kind of prove that ‘American Idol’ is kind of losing its taste….it kinda isn’t going for talent anymore and more for popularity.”   Paris, Paris Paris, what makes you think Idol has ever been anything but a popularity contest?

    Why would Paris be so stupid as to align herself with those bottom-dwelling parasites, draw this type of attention to herself and make it even tougher to carve out her own career? Bad move kid. :rolleyes_wp:

    I think it is pathetic that former contestants stoop so low to bite the hand that actually made their name note-worthy. If not for Paris’ family ties, no one would have given her a second thought. Her audition was great, but week after week underwhelmed. Just the fact that she has Kevin Chicken Little performing on her debut CD tells you how much SHE not AI has “lost (it’s) taste”.

    I agree with both of the above posters. How stupid can you be?

    Ugh, what is Paris thinking??? There is nothing good that can come from those comments. Talk about burning bridges….

    Oh, and MJ - the Paris link is wonky - a couple extra characters in there before TMZ in the url. Thought you’d wanna know. :) Still loving the blog - what does it say that I check here before reading the news every morning!?!? :)

    I like Kelly’s song, but don’t love it. I wonder how this album will stack up against her really, really good “Breakaway” CD.

    I saw Kim Locke on ET or some such show and she looked fabulous!

    Paris? OK, whut???

    Paris … what the heck are you thinking ? Nothing good will come out of this.

    You’re a talented kid and have the whole world and a career ahead of you.

    QUIT THIS NONSENSE KID !

    Do you all think Paris really said this? I read a few articles on this last week and I think someone is pulling one over the public. She can’t possibly be that stupid! From what I gather so far, Idol has not responded.

    It will do no harm at all.

    Paris did say it and was laughing all the way.

    OMG. I also read that Kelly Clarkson wants Sanjaya to win too!

    What a spoiled, ungrateful little bitch!

    Im disappointed in Paris’ remark. Wonder how she wouldve felt if she had lost last year due to VFTW keeping a less competent player in over her? Im not impressed with this years group for the most part, but it is their lives and careers people are messing with. There is no justification for that at all.
