Jordin Sparks Sings at the Arizona Cardinals Game

On Sunday, Jordin Sparks stepped up on the field at the Arizona Cardinals NFL game and did the honors of singing the national anthem. The home team was playing against the San Francisco 49ers, at the University of Arizona Stadium. Jordin looked cute and I'm liking that color on her but…I guess she forgot to put her shoes on?

In other news, it's been reported that Jordin is lending her voice for the soundtrack for the film Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure. The songs that's expected to be on the soundtrack is called "Road to Paradise". The soundtrack will be released on September 22nd, while the movie hits store shelves on October 27th.

Simon Cowell Says His New Home Makes Him Feel “Happy”

Posted: 15 Sep 2009 02:33 PM PDT

Moving to the busy lifestyle of Los Angeles can take it's toll on you, but at least American Idol judge, Simon Cowell can come home to a beautiful and luxurious home after a hard day's work. According to Simon things are finally feeling right for him.

Cowell bought a $25 million dream home in L.A. and has since done some major renovations and put forth some big changes to make it perfect. His home measures out to an impressive 12, 000 square feet. It features a cinema with leather seats and a beautiful pool equipped with a sound system, palm trees and turrets of fire along the sides.

He's also gotten a staff of workers to look after the place and to serve guests when they arrive. Simon predictably calls the place "Chateau Cowell." A place fit for a king, I guess! He told his Britain's Got Talent co-host, Piers Morgan, "Nice, isn’t it? I’m so happy. It’s the first time I’ve felt properly happy since I came to Los Angeles."

Are you guys jealous yet? Because I certainly am! It's great to hear that Simon seems to be really enjoying himself with this new home. It's important to have a place where he can just relax with the busy schedule that he has.

Former American Idol contestant, Kimberly Locke, is on today's episode of The Tyra Show, where she will discuss what it was like for her growing up as a biracial person. She even tells Tyra that a teacher singled her out because of her skin tone in front of all of her classmates.

I'm biracial and I've always loved it but I guess how you feel about it depends on your own individual experience so this is a very interesting topic! Are you biracial or mixed-race? If so, I'd love to hear about what it's been like for you!
