I know that "My Life Would Suck Without You" and "If I Can't Have You" are confirmed tracks but the rest is just speculation (kind of like when Have you heard any of the music yet? If so, what do you think? It's kind of got a Pink meets old Kelly feel to it, in my opinion, but I only heard that little snippet so it's hard to judge. I love the cover for that single, though (click to enlarge). image: Amazon.com Tags: all i ever wanted album cover, kelly clarkson album, my life would suck without you |

| Paula Abdul Takes Dog on Doctor’s Visit Posted: 09 Jan 2009 08:32 AM PST American Idol judge, Paula Abdul, was spotted leaving some medical offices carrying her little Chihuahua, Tulip. Poor little thing looks terrified!
I am guessing that this is the same dog that Paula broke her nose to avoid crushing just before the season finale in 2007. In any case, it looks like she loves her little pup, cradling her like a little baby. Paula's looking pretty good these days, isn't she?

| American Idol Season 3: Top 10 Posted: 09 Jan 2009 08:02 AM PST The third season of American Idol was finally a battle between two female contestants – Fantasia Barrino and Diana DeGarmo (pictured below on the set of the Larry King Show).
It was also the year that Jennifer Hudson was eliminated in 7th place. I remember not being about to believe she was sent home and I wondered what was wrong with the public but she got her revenge by winning an Oscar award for her performance in Dreamgirls. Since the show Fantasia has released two albums (Free Yourself and Fantasia), has been nominated for awards and appeared in The Color Purple (April 2007 to January 2008) on Broadway. She is expected to release a third album sometime this year. Diana released one album, Blue Skies (2004), appeared on Broadway in the musical Hairspray (September 2006 to February 2007), performed at Carnegie Hall (April 2007) and finally made the career-changing decision to appear on Gone Country. She released the country music track, "Right Back Where We Ended" and has won rave reviews in the genre. Here are the Top 10 from season three. I remember really liking Matthew Rogers so I'm happy he's now the host of the Discovery Channel's "Really Big Things." Who did you like from this list?
