Anoop there he is, UNC student on American Idol
I knew it! Anoop Desai, the UNC grad student heading to Hollywood on American Idol, is an alumnus of the Clef Hangers, the rock apella group.

As soon as he opened his mouth I said he had to be connected to the group. I saw them a couple of years ago in Memorial Hall and their version of "Fix You" floored me. (And you know, ever since a capella groups discovered percussion, they're actually kinda cool.) via News and Observer blog

Idol downloads: Cook edges Archuleta
Not much action for the Idols in the digital realm this week. Nielsen SoundScan's data has David Cook the only Idol whose digital album sales rank among the 50 best-selling for the week ending Jan. 11. He sold 3,000, down from 4,000 the week before, meaning he's sold 92,000 downloads of David Cook.

Davidcookroncadiz Cook and David Archuleta flip-flopped on the tracks side, with Cook's Light On barely outselling Crush. Light On sold 38,000 downloads, compared with the last week's 58,000, enough to keep Cook in the Top 40 (at 39) and bring the Light On total to 524,000. Archuleta's Crush dropped a steep 46 percent, from 68,000 to 36,000, knocking him to 43 on the chart but nudging the track's overall numbers past the 1.4 million mark. via usatoday.com

Meet the real 'American Idol' bikini girl: Casey Carlson
Contestant Katrina Darrell made headlines and became a YouTube star after she showed up for "Idol's" Phoenix, Ariz. auditions wearing an itsy-bitsy bikini and planted a big kiss on host Ryan Seacrest.

But Kansas City contender Carlson is the real deal.

The singer models in swimsuit calendars for Campus Girls USA [see here]. The company's Web site features a gallery of Carlson – who is identified as a representative of the University of Minnesota. via Daily News

David Archuleta On Kissing, Kara DioGuardi, And Eating Grapes
American Idol runner-up David Archuleta (and also, um, these tweens' favorite-ist person on planet Earf) has has been a busy little beaver of late. Here's what Archu McSweety Cute Jeans has been up to since the ball dropped.

He performed an a cappella version of "I'll Be" at the Hard Rock Cafe in NYC the other day. (J-14 was on the scene, BTW!) Fun! (Hard Rock Cafe is still open!?)

He's also been eating grapes (!?) and blogging his sweet widdle facey off on MySpace: He says he's trying not to ramble too much… but he's still pretty rambly, which, of course is why everyone Archu-loves him! Also, exclamation points: proceed with caution, Archie! (But, of course, all is Archu-forgiven.) via MTV

Idol Contestant Worked in Same Tattoo Shop Where Britney Shaved Her Head
American Idol contestant Emily Wynne-Hughes — the tattooed and pierced rocker who advanced to Hollywood after performing Heart's "Barracuda" on Tuesday's audition show — has a strange connection to Britney Spears.

Wynne-Hughes, 21, worked at the Body & Soul Tattoo shop in Sherman Oaks, Calif., that unforgettable night in February 2007 when Spears shaved her head. (The television show Extra pointed out the connection Friday.)

At the time, Wynne-Hughes told Us that Spears had arrived agitated and, when asked why she shaved her head, replied, "I don't want anyone touching me. I'm tired of everybody touching me." via US Magazine
