Holly Montag and Sanjaya Malakar "Are Not Dating"

Posted: 14 Jul 2009 11:42 PM PDT

Despite rumors to the contrary, Holly Montag and Sanjaya Malakar are not dating. I know that when I watched them on I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here they seemed awfully touchy-feely but that was in the jungle. Sometimes things don't feel the same in a real-life setting and maybe that's the case for these two.

Holly was at the Sports Dream Celebrity Poker pool party this weekend and she told Us magazine the following: "We are not dating but just very close…

It was funny. I was shocked because we were such close friends, and I had no idea that anyone else thought there was anything romantic going on. People in camp joked about it, but we knew it was a joke so it was funny to us. We will continue our friendship forever. Sanjaya came out to visit me last week!"

Holly's brother-in-law, Spencer Pratt (who is married to her sister, Heidi), seems to be supportive of a possible relationship with Sanjaya. Speidi were also contestants on the show but Spencer said: "I will very happily hand the famed cup of superstar couple on planet Earth to Sanjaya and Holly in a second. Go for it!"

Maybe they are just taking it slow? I thought they made a cute couple. What's a better nickname for them – Sanjolly or Hanjaya?

DeGarmo to Join Cast of Off-Broadway’s Toxic Avenger

Posted: 14 Jul 2009 11:21 PM PDT

Diana DeGarmo is one busy lady! I just wrote a post about her stint as the narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and now it's been announced that she will join the cast of Off-Broadway’s The Toxic Avenger in August.

I know that Diana is going to be amazing as Sarah, "the sexy, blind librarian." In a statement, she said: "I am so excited to be coming back to New York to join the cast of The Toxic Avenger. When I saw the show, I laughed my head off. I can't wait to start rehearsal – and to be blonde again!"

Diana makes her debut on August 14, 2009 at New World Stages which is located in Manhattan. For more details about the show, location and tickets www.TheToxicAvengerMusical.com.

I love Diana with her dark hair but she's also beautiful as a blonde! Is anyone going to this show? I'd love to hear about it!

Kris Allen Cancels Appearance on Tonight Show After Death in Family

Posted: 14 Jul 2009 10:49 AM PDT

Access Hollywood is reporting that Kris Allen's grandmother has passed away and, while he mourns the loss, he has opted to bow out of a scheduled appearance on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien.

If you follow the reigning American Idol on Twitter, you probably say this message last night: "I know I was supposed to do conan on wed, but there was a death in my family."

In case you are worried that he might not be at some of the upcoming American Idols Live tour dates, don't fret. He hasn't canceled any appearances yet.

If you were really looking forward to some Idol action on Conan this week you're in luck. Finalist, Allison Iraheta will be filling in for Kris and he seems confident that she'll do a great job. He tweeted: Allison "is filling in. And by filling in I mean @Allison4Realzzz is gonna rock Conan’s face off on Wednesday."

Set your DVRs Iraheta fans!

Kelly Clarkson Performs “Already Gone” on Letterman - Video

American Idol's first winner, Kelly Clarkson, performed her new single "Already Gone" on Late Night With David Letterman last night. She sounded absolutely amazing. I'm so happy for her! She also looked really good too (I didn't love the sleeves on that shirt but that's a personal opinion). This is a shot of her arriving – fortunately she changed out of this bright sweater and top
