6/2: David Cook signs with RCA
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Sorry. I’m back from vacation and only now getting to updating the blog. Here are bits and pieces you dedicated “Idol” readers already know from other sources:
-David Cook signs with 19 Recordings/RCA. Katharine McPhee and Bo Bice had been signed to RCA at one time. Clay Aiken is still on the label.
-TMZ said the Richmond County Fair called them to find out if Sanjaya’s request for $8,000 was reasonable. At the same fair a year ago, Kimberly Caldwell and Paris Bennett raked in less than $5,000 combined. Do you think $8K for Sanjaya is fair for a fair?
-Katharine McPhee has nabbed another movie role starring in a psychological drama “The Storyteller” with Wes Bentley,according to Hollywood Reporter. Another film she’s in, already completed, called the “House Bunny” is set to come out in theaters in August.
-The charities that will receive the “Idol Gives Back” monies won’t get the donor lists and don’t know yet how much money they’re getting. This story says “Idol” raised about the same as last year at $76 million.
-And David Foster confirmed with People.com that Clay Aiken is going to be his sister’s daddy through artificial insemination.
-Fans of *David Cook downloaded 942,000 of his tracks the five days after he won “Idol.” Incredible!
-Daughtry is on a track “Slow Down” on the upcoming Third Day album “Revelation. Third Day, one of the biggest acts in Christian contemporary music, is from Atlanta.
