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.

Wednesday night marked the christening of the new ‘Spice One’ Virgin Atlantic plane at Los Angeles International Airport. Naturally, the Spice Girls were there for a photo op. But a lot of people were in for a surprise when Emma ‘Baby Spice’ Bunton came out to join the rest of the girls on crutches. What happened to the baby? She got a booboo? Let’s just hope that her injury’s not too serious and wouldn’t impede her performance in any of their reunion tour dates. It’s a good thing she gets plenty of rest between shows.

The Spice Girls are getting ready to kick off a 17 night run in London this weekend. Wow!

When I hear the words Nobel Peace Prize Awards, I immediately envision a bunch of suits barely getting through a very boring and stuffy night. But that apparently isn’t the case when it comes to the Nobel Peace Prize. It can actually be quite the opposite.

On Tuesday evening, the hotness that can only be called Kylie Minogue gave the Nobel Peace concert spectacular in Oslo, Norway a jolt of electricity when she gave a very high-voltage performance. Well, that’s what usually happens when you put a hot girl with some hot songs and hot moves on any stage for a performance.

Take it for what it’s worth but Britain’s News of the World is reporting that Britney Spears is getting ready to adopt Chinese twins. She can’t even take care of her own two sons, what makes her think she can take care of two more? According to the paper, the pop wreck is telling her friends that “she’s in the final stages of talks with an adoption agency.” I’m actually surprised that she can find China on a map.

Brit and KFed recently had another round of custody talks about who gets the kids for Christmas and other holidays. Maybe that’s why Brit’s getting Chinese twins – to replace the boys that KFed’s getting.

Somebody’s been chugging down the egg nog way too early. A fan ran into the lead Pussycat Doll and hot mess known as Nicole Scherzinger on the night before Thanksgiving and she reported just how their meeting went.

“So I saw Nicole Scherzinger in her hometown of Louisville, KY last night at Felt. She was completely wasted, kept singing a terrible version of that overplayed ‘Buttons’ song and acted kind of put out that I wanted a pic.” And judging by the picture, yeah, I think she’s completely out of it.

Perhaps Nicole was drowning her sorrows away over her solo album being pushed back several times.

Pre-teen fans are anxiously awaiting Billy Ray Cyrus’ upcoming film with daughter Miley. The Disney Channel stars are working out the details for the filming of their Hannah Montana movie. Cyrus is hoping filming will take place in their home state of Tennessee.

The movie is based on the duos popular Disney Channel series where Miley plays Miley Stewart, a young girl who moves from Tennessee to Malibu to live out the dream as a pop star. By day, she is simply Miley, a high school student who gets in her share of normal teenage scrapes. In the evening hours, she secretly performs as Hannah Montana, a popular musical performer.

In the proposed movie version, the Stewarts make a return visit to Tennessee. Billy Ray feels strongly that it should be filmed there as well.

Billy Ray reportedly told the Associated Press, “The thing of it is, Walt Disney really wants to film this movie in Tennessee.” The problem is that there may not be enough financial backing coming from state officials. It isn’t that officials don’t want the film, though. The executive director of the Tennessee Film, Entertainment, and Music Commission is quoted as saying, “It would mean a real impact on tourism and it would be a family friendly film that would come to the state.”

Louisiana is competing for the filming privileges. Tennessee officials are anxious to make their offer and see how it compares to that of Louisiana.

The Cyrus’ spent Thanksgiving in Tennessee with family and celebrated Miley’s 15th birthday with a sold-out concert show in Nashville. They are looking forward to the possibility of returning in April to shoot the film.

Can you blame the guy? I mean, after all, who doesn’t want to work from home?

Mentwabe Dawit is the biological mother of the two year old little girl, Zatara, Angelina Jolie adopted. Recently she came forward to the press with a surprising story.
It seems that her daughter has been conceived during a creepy night, down on an alley, where she had been raped by a villain.
Unable to make an abortion in her country, scared and not ready for motherhood, Mentwabe Dawit had the child but soon became unable to feed her. Ravished, she seeks refuge away from the baby, and so Zatata got to be adopted by Angelina.
I know Joile has a big heart and all, but I’m starting to wonder if she adopted the little girl just because she felt connected to her or the tragic story behind her birth had something to do with her decision…we all know how she loves good publicity.

A few weeks after seeing some little kids doing ballet to the song, we can now see the usually prim and proper Natalie Portman get her groove on all because of Soulja Boy. The movie star dropped by TRL to promote her latest film Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium when she got an impromptu dance lesson from the hip hop singer.

26-year old Natalie picked up the latest hip hop-flavored move sweeping the nation, the Soulja Boy Dance. It’s an enjoyable watch as Natalie jumps, hops and cranks it in her red heels. Maybe she could even teach the dance to her model boyfriend.

All you die-hard Britney Spears listen up! Don’t miss out on your chance to get a one of a kind autographed copy of her album ‘Blackout.’ Britney is auctioning off the album on EBay and 100% of the proceeds go to UNICEF. There are many other artists out there who have sold more than Britney such as Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder-who both sold over 100 million records. Elvis is another. Tons and tons more. People who are in her same age group-Beyonce for one has sold over 100 Million records and she’s the same age as Britney, and they started out around the same time. Christina Aguilera has sold over 30 million records and to be “less famous” as Britney, that says a lot. SO you bragging that Brit has sold over 50 Million records aren’t as big of a brag as you claim it to be.

The Spice Girls are off to do their Christmas shopping early. At least, in a commercial they are. The group full of girl power recently released a commercial for UK-based grocery chain Tesco which shows them holiday shopping.

Geri Halliwell aka Ginger Spice does the narration for the commercial which not only promotes the store but the Spice Girls’ ‘Greatest Hits’ album as well. The commercial is basically old footage from all of their old music videos mixed in with their new album cover and a couple of other things.

And remember… Ginger does the voice over. I guess that’s enough.
