Jared Cotter News

Remember Jared Cotter, season six fans?

While the names that stick out from last year's American Idol are well-known by now - Jordin Sparks, Blake Lewis, Antonella Barba - this semifinalist has actually turned his success on the show into a new, kinda cool gig:

Cotter has been named co-host of music network Fuse's "daily magazine show" The Sauce. He had been guest-hosting since June.

Way to go, JC!

Calm down, ladies.

We know how excited you get about American Idol contestant, Jared Cotter. Especially when he runs his hand over his face, as the singer so seductively did while singing "Let's Get It On" last week.

Randy Jackson, for one, seemed excited.

So are women - and probably a few men - around the television world. We thought we'd help them get to know Cotter a bit better by going over a few fun facts from his official bio:

• The Kew Gardens native says he learned to sing when he was born. No wonder he's gotten so good at it.
• He earned a basketball scholarship to college.
• Jared cites John Legend, Stevie Wonder and Beyone as musical influences - and says he'll continue with song writing if he doesn't win your votes as the final American Idol.

At the moment, Cotter is in a tough race with other talented males to make the final 12. You can watch him go up against Chris Sligh, Blake Lewis, Sundance Head and other tomorrow night.
