Life After American Idol

It seems that life after American Idol can be cold – ice cream cold that it. Season 6 castoffs Melinda Doolittle and Chris Richardson are realizing that now as they two singers with barely there music careers are making ends meet by schilling ice cream as part of a Dreyer’s ice cream national promo tour at Vons, Stop & Shot and Winn-Dixie. It may not be as glamorous but there is life after Idol. The likes of Kristy Lee Cook and Ramiele Malubay can look forward to a Safeway, or a local balloon festival, or an outlet mall, or a housing development, maybe even a bingo waiting for them when they get voted off.
