He has a few weeks until the new season of American Idol begins.
So you can't blame judge Simon Cowell for enjoying a few moments free of booing crowds and bad singers, can you? Seen here, he's riding around the waves in Barbados.
Soon enough, fans will be riding his loud mouth for various mean-spirited comments. We can't wait.
We told you this was a new Katharine McPhee.
Those that didn't believe us need only to look at the album cover for the latest American Idol runner-up to see a seriously sexy side that didn't always come through on the FOX series.
McPhee's first CD will hit stores on January 30. In the meantime, we'll have to update our Katharine McPhee picture section to include these seductive shots ...
This is a side of Taylor Hicks fans don't often see.
The laid back crooner got down with his bad self on MTV's Total Request Live yesterday. He was just chillin like a villian, maxin and relaxin with host Vanessa Minnillo on the show, as he promoted his latest album.
The CD, of course, hits stores the same week as that of Fantasia Barrino. But we hope there's room in Christmas stockings across the country for both these talents.
She's garnering Oscar buzz for her role in Dreamgirls. And now Jennifer Hudson is giving a very friendly hello to all her fans.
The former American Idol star is seen her before entering the London premiere of her upcoming film. It als stars Eddie Murphy, Jamie Foxx and Beyonce Knowles.
At the premiere for Dreamgirls last night, Jennifer Hudson more than held her own on the red carpet. She stood out, even, among other stars such as Beyonce.
Co-star Jamie Foxx said:"We are now watching a star â Jennifer Hudson â that's being born ..."
We've shown your Clay Aiken yukking it up on stage and Chris Daughty rocking out on a similar platform.
One place the American Idol Picture of the Day has not taken fans, however? DisneyWorld. We figured it was time to change that.
Below, Kevin Covais, Mandisa, Paris Bennett and Ace Young all take in the sights. Among them, of course, was a certain happy, silly dog. He's quite goofy, if we do say so ourselves.
It's time for another American Idol Picture of the Day, and since we can't decide which of these two to use, you get both. We couldn't justify leaving for a few days without displaying each. Call it a Thanksgiving treat.
On the left, Clay Aiken gets hushed by Tori Spelling at the American Music Awards last night, an obvious spoof on Clay's recent hushing of Kelly Ripa - an event that caused much undue controversy, as Clay fans are aware (the comments stemming that incident are so ridiculous that we didn't bother reporting it). It's good to see Clay making light of what should never have become an issue in the first place, and Tori Spelling playing along.
On the right, Taylor Hicks makes a stop in Miami... and certainly looks the part. Seriously, was this guy in Miami Vice somehow without us knowing? Not many people could pull off that shift, but Taylor does it in style. No matter what you think of him musically, you have to love Taylor Hicks (whose new album is due out any day now). He just seems like the most friendly, fun-loving person. Not unlike Mr. Aiken!
No breaking news to report here, just a picture of a certain American Idol finalist turned rock god performing in the biggest of apples. Here's a picture of Chris Daughtry singing at a listening party at Retox Rock Bar in N.Y. City.
His new album, with the newly-formed Daughtry band, is going to be big. We have a strong feeling about that. Will he reach the Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken level of post-Idol fame, but only in the alternative rock genre? Only time will tell, but it wouldn't surprise us.
It's been a Chris Daughtry-filled day here at American Idol Worship, so we figured why not cap it off with this classic image from earlier this year. As you can see, the one-time finalist and current lead singer of Daughtry is seriously pumped up after completing an inspired performance on our favorite show:
Next to the rocker, of course, is the popular American Idol host who's kicking some butt in our latest poll. In this picture, however, Ryan Seacrest looks less like the super cool MC we're used to and more like... an MC who's somewhat confused.
Maybe he's just daydreaming about on-again, off-again girlfriend Shana Wall. Who knows. All we do know is that this pic is a definite keeper.
Justin Timberlake may be bringing SexyBack, but our own Katharine McPhee is bringing us some SexyHair. Katharine is the new spokeswoman for SexyHair, a line of shampoos, conditioners and hair styling products that strive to make hair look great -- whatever style you choose! This picture we found from her promotional campaign is a fine addition to our American Idol Picture of the Day feature.
