That's a great interview with Cale! A bit too much "God-talk" for my tastes, but I understand those are his beliefs. And his girlfriend is also a Katy? That's funny!

That is a great interview with Cale. You know aside from loving these guys, I just really just plain like them. Kind of awesome.

I've heard they are playing for around an hour tomorrow night. I wonder if they'll do the same thing then that David did? Anyone heard anything about Allison performing anywhere tommorrow?

So people on mj's were saying Kris isn't attending the People's Choice Awards, indicating he didn't win anything.

Have to say I didn't anticipate him winning that one but I was glad he got the nomination ... small victories.

Now where are my AOL sessions? I am getting cranky about that. Very glad New Year's will be televised or I'd be worse then cranky right now, lol.

MJ posted that Kris is scheduled to perform in Manila, Philippines in February! And I'm glad that it seems it's him by himself and not with Adam. They love themselves some Idol there. Cook and Archie did a show there in May in front of 115,000 people. I didn't mind these two being paired up, but I can't wait until Kris isn't paired with Adam anymore... after that Kradison concert I guess.

Yes, it's great news, and I'm also glad he won't be with Adam, though I'm not really sure why. Mainly Adam's super-annoying fans and the press I guess. I'm not "afraid" of Kris performing with Adam, literally, as I guess I don't personally feel Adam is better than Kris or over shadows Kris or any of that.

ETA: I remember seeing Archie stepping off a train or something last year and getting mobbed -- I think it was in the Phillipines. If this gig is legit kris will be playing before some very appreciative people and it should be a great experience.

Ha! ross, I was coming here to post that as well. INCREDIBLE week for Kris. Well, for pretty much everyone, the increases are crazy high! I wonder why so many singles were sold in the last week since it seems everybody sold more than usual.

Aww, Kris's mom sent pajamas to Jim. Cute!

MJ posted the scheduled of the auditions complete with the names of the guest judges. I guess I'm most excited for Kristen Chenoweth. She was awesome in Pushing Daisies and also on Glee. And she can actually sing really well, which is not the case of all the guest judges *coughKatyPerryVictoriaBeckhamAvrilLavignecough*. Neil Patrick Harris should ba a hoot as well, though I'm less famiar with him.

Wow, the single sales were crazy good. That's awesome. Go LLWD, go.

That Hedley interview was a bit sad, but it's nice that Jacob is showing his more serious side to the world. You tend to get tired of someone who is "on" all the time. And actually I think he's wrong, people love his sad slower songs. It is nice to have a mix though on the album.

I'm interested in Shania and Neil for the guest judges. I'm a bit interested in Avril as well since she was a teen in the music industry, it depends on how eloquent she is. Sometimes it's hard to get words out of her.

It seems I was wrong and there will a be live performance by Kris on the NYE show! It's probably a good sign that the show will be better than last year's, it was seriously the lamest thing ever. At what time is the Maroon 5 show though? It will certainly be a busy evening! I guess they can do it because of the time difference between the time zones.

Oh, Shania Twain, yeah I'm also interested in her as a guest judge. I was a fan when I was a teenager (don't laugh!). The only country act I ever liked. I still wonder why she disappeared from the music scene...
