If you haven’t already hear, former AI contestant Alexis Cohen, was killed in a hit-and-run this past Saturday July 25, 2009. News of her death has made it to Twitter and many are wishing her family some peace and comfort. From Paula Abdul to Ryan Seacrest, tweets out to her family came flooding in.
Alexis Cohen was 25 and a contestant on the seventh and eighth season of AI. She became a fan favorite for her trite words towards AI judge, Simon Cowell.

Jordin Sparks, the youngest AI winner, has just dropped her sophomore album on July 20 of this year. Her hit single, Battlefield, is also the name of her album and it’s hitting the airways across the country. She is currently on tour with the Jonas Brothers and I’m sure all the Sparkplugs (her fanbase) will be attending each concert. The album is upbeat and more electrified from her debut album and is sure to make radio play all summer.

Will Paula Abdul Be Back On Idol?
by Laura on Jul.23, 2009, under American Idol News

There has been much speculation as to whether Paula Abdul will be back for season 9 of Idol. The round of try outs are next month and much of the media is wondering if they will see this goofy, kooky spirit of a judge.
It is apparent that Paula Abdul is frustrated with her upcoming AI contract renewal. There is much support to keep Paula on her Twitter page. Past AI contestants like Danny Gokey and Annoop Desai tweeted to Paula to stay on AI.
I think this is just publicity and that Paula will stay on as an American Idol Judge for season nine and possibly season 10 and 11. No one can take the place of Paula Abdul. She wears her heart on her sleeve and invests in these singers. She will sure stay on so don’t miss next season.
Ryan Seacrest Is The 45-Million Dollar Man
by Laura on Jul.13, 2009, under American Idol News
The “American Idol” reality-tv host, Ryan Seacrest, has secured a three-year deal of $15 million a year with CKY, parent of “AI” producer 19 Entertainment. He has become the $45-million dollar man and is the richest reality host so far. This is a huge pay raise as he was getting $5 million a year before this triple increase. Seacrest is sure rolling in the dough!
