10/21: LaKisha Jones drops a single, Carrie Underwood and Kellie Pickler sexiest women in Country Weekly mag
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A truly deathly dull day in “American Idol” news when the only possible lead I can offer is LaKisha Jones coming out with a single, culled from MJ, the hardest working Idol blogger on earth!
Her album is set to drop in February 2008. You can hear her first single on her MySpace page.. It’s a mid-tempo R&B song, very modern, not bad after a listen.
Hmmm.. scraping, scraping, scraping for items!
-Kelly Clarkson last week performed at the ASCAP Awards, honoring Reba McEntire. Kelly pops up at 31 seconds, Kellie Pickler at 1:41 looking like Marilyn Monroe.
-Oh wait! I now get Country Weekly and the readers of the mag voted for sexiest female country singer. Last year, Carrie Underwood won. This year, she got beat out by Kellie Pickler. (No, I did not vote!). She was ranked No. 5 last year. Underwood came in second this year around. The rest of the top 10: Gretchen Wilson (I’m all for that!), Shania Twain (she’s still in country music?), Taylor Swift, Martina McBride, Reba McEntire, Sara Evans, Faith Hill and Danielle Peck.
-“The Secret Life of Bees,” with Jennifer Hudson did well opening at about $10.5 million, finishing No. 3. Reviews were mixed. Rottentomatoes.com noted that 56% of critics liked it.
