By Jeanne I really like David, even more than I did when he was on the show, because he seems so down-to-earth, chilled and just cool.  They watched that hilarious reaction video (when those David Archuleta fans freaked out when he lost) and David talked about how he felt when he saw it. 

By Jeanne Yesterday, Mr. Clay Aiken celebrated his birthday. The American Idol star turned 30 (me too, this year! It was a crazy feeling to reach a new decade!).  I hope he had an excellent day!

By Jeanne American Idol winner, Jordin Sparks, looked adorable as she posed in the press room for Z100’s Jingle Ball 2007 at Madison Square Garden on December 14, 2007 in New York City.  I actually really like Hello Kitty (there’s stuff all over my house!) so I would totally rock that shirt.  Nice choi...
