Ryan Seacrest, Jenny McCarthy Talk ‘Rockin’ New Year’s Eve’ George Michael Tribute, Mariah Carey’s Return & More – “We have lost a lot of entertainment legends this year and so many of us were saddened by the recent loss of George Michael,” show host and executive producer Ryan Seacrest told Billboard. “We hope by showcasing Wham!’s first appearance on American Bandstand in 1983 in a special tribute during the broadcast will remind everyone of his talents, and how he loved sharing them with the world.” “Mariah and I were together on Idol, so I have known her and I play her songs a lot especially this time of year,” he said. “She owns being Mariah Carey. There is an essence to her… I think I said to her, ‘What time do you wake up?’ and she said noon. And ‘what do you do first?” and she said ‘I take a bath’ and she has champagne sometimes with it. She’s Mariah Carey, the one and only.” – Read more at Billboard.com

Riding, shooting and singing – Kristy Lee Cook is staying busy – It’s easier to bag a coyote than a spot on country radio, or so Kristy Lee Cook has learned.
The 32-year-old American Idol finalist from Selma has taken a hiatus from recording and writing music to hunt coyotes and hogs and participate in barrel racing competitions across Texas. “I’m just doing horses and hunting,” she said, during a telephone interview Tuesday. And she’s got more than 150 pounds of game in her freezer to show for it. Earlier this year, Cook bagged a bison, an elk and a mule deer while filming her reality show “The Most Wanted List,” which airs in July on the Sportsman Channel. – Mail Tribune
