We all know that last week, the sixth season of American ended with Jordin Sparks crowned as the American Idol. As expected, after the season ended, several of the finalists seemed to hurrily taking advantage of their sudden famous. These are some up to date news about them, compiled from many resources. One of the finalists signed a contract to participate as the main cast of a sitcom remake about an alien living together with a woman. Another one is going to be play the role-titled award-winning drama inspired by a familiar Columbian telenovela. Other will be involved in an ambitious remake of a 1922 movie. Another finalist was lucky enough to make a prestigious collaboration with an acclaimed R&B artist/producer. And lastly, someone who did not have the chance to be in the finale, almost literally green with envy for the Top 2, can now smile widely because that someone got an offer to be the model of another sequel of a comedy CGI animated picture.
(Now imagine Ryan Seacrest saying…)
This,
is a week after,
American Idol
- After knowing that he is not the American Idol, Blake Lewis is pursuing a career in television show. Some prominent people such as the producers of a 1978 sitcom greeted Blake with open arms. They see that Blake has the potential to really shine in entertainment TV and made him an offer he can’t refuse participate in reliving a sitcom about a humanoid alien living with american woman. Expected plot: the alien come from planet Boomboks where people there speak Beetboks, and the supposedly funny dialogs will involve the girl’s difficulties to comprehend what the alien was saying.
After making his final promotional picture of American Idol (also note that this picture will be used as the cover of the 2007 American Idol finalists album), he made comment on his deal on the upcoming TV gig. “I was so-s-s-so thril-th-th-thrilled to be involved in this upcoming TV show. I get to wear this coo-co-c-cool r-r-red suit that ex-ex-expo-po-exposes my wi-wil-wi-wild side.” Indeed, after doing fitting for the alien apparel, Blake auctioned all of his vests and coats then went shopping for red overalls and mickey mouse gloves. - Jordin Sparks felt that she should also pursue a career in television show, after becoming an American Idol. Unlike Blake’s remake, she will continue the title role in an ongoing award-winning drama inspired by a very familiar telenovela.
The producers replaced the original actress for Jordin because they want “a fresher, younger, more popular actress, so that more advertisements come.” For the role, Jordin will have to go through extensive makeover to become a nerdy young woman (see the before and after picture). - A long anticipated 1922 movie remake has finally found an actor that will play the lead role. The actor is none other than Phil Stacey, which the producers claim “[he] was made for the role”.
The producers also happily noted that Phil need no extra makeup, unlike Jordin, to make his feature blend into the role. Also stating that this movie will have fantasy, thriller-drama, science-fiction genres, they said “the huge saving on the makeup department will go directly to special effects department”. Still retaining the original plot about vampire, this remake will take a modernized approach for making the movie “reach a wider audience”. As seen in the recently published promotional sneak peek picture, this movie, titled “Nosphilatu”, will take place in a modern day Hollywood. - After the show was over, Chris Richardson was approached by acclaimed R&B artist/producer Timbaland to make a collaboration album. Chris R was so excited as Timbaland was. Chris R asked one condition to Timbaland: this upcoming album will talk about global warming.
Apparently, Chris R. is one of the biggest fan of a politician who recently won an Oscar because of his documentary on global warming. Chris R. has already decided on the first single of his upcoming album. The title will be “(Stop illegal logging) use Timber-Fake”. When asked that was it supposed to be “use fake timber”, Chris R replied “Timber-Fake is a form of hip-language as nasal is a form of singing, in case you didn’t know.” Well said. - I could almost swear that, when Melinda Doolittle was voted off the Top 3, I saw her turned green with envy. After some time researching that episode, I found this picture that confirmed my memory.
Melinda was smiling of course, but you can see the envious eyes. Ryan Seacrest could only do so little to calm the Doolittle (pun intended). But be afraid not, she can now smile widely and honestly after signing a multimillion dollar deal to participate in an upcoming anticipated movie. The movie, which due next year, will be another sequel of a successful CGI animated picture franchise. Her role will not only involve voicing the new character, but also becoming the model of that particular character. This new character is rumored to be the mistress of the leading male character. “I want to take my lovely pet Don-kee along, but it seems they already got one,” said Melinda.
I just want to write a disclaimer that I enjoyed this season. It was for the first time I watched almost all of the final episodes. My favorite one of course was the Bon Jovi episode, with upbeat songs that made me sing along through all the songs. The winning song, “This is My Now”, seemed to be perfectly made for the winner, Jordin Sparks, who I hope in her upcoming album will not end the song crying (because she already did that two times in a row). On a last note, I also hope Carrie Underwood will consider including her version of “I’ll Stand by You” into her next album.
CREDITS: All pictures here were taken from various sources without permissions. The news about Melinda, Phil, and Chris R. were researched from a site that observes American Idol and its contestants very closely and ask voters to vote based on contestants’ quality. Eventhough I myself already researched the news about Jordin, many apparently did the same. I did my own research on Blake.
