Stephanie speaks out
Stephanie Edwards is still smiling — even after she was unceremoniously dumped by “American Idol” viewers last week.
“I’m OK,” she tells Entertainment Weekly. “I’m good, actually. I don’t know why. I just have a very positive attitude.”
Stephanie reveals in the interview that she palled around with Sanjaya Malakar when the cameras weren’t rolling, but we’ll try not to hold that against her. Jordin Sparks was also part of their under-21 clique. The older contestants, meanwhile, apparently like to booze it up. Often.
“I was bored most of the time because I’m too old to have a parent but too young to do things all the adults were out doing,” she told the magazine.
So what’s next? She’s not sure, but Stephanie would love to perform on the BET Awards. And, considering how talented she is, the producers would be foolish not to extend an invite.
Idol chatter …
- Good luck avoiding “Idol” super fan Ashley Ferl. She’s everywhere.
Ferl, the 13-year-old who swooned — and sobbed — during Sanjaya’s performance last week, is busy making the rounds on the talk show circuit. She’s been on “Today” and “Access Hollywood,” for starters.
Why, oh why, does she love Sanjaya? Let us count the ways.
“His voice and his hair and his personality, just everything,” she told “Today” host Meredith Vieira. “He’s just like — phenomenal.”
Excuse us while we retch.
- The much-hyped “Idol” songwriting contest is apparently on hold.
Figures.
TV Week reports showrunners are having trouble figuring out the logistics.
- DVR alert: Tuesday night’s show runs long. Seven minutes long to be exact.
So, to make sure you don’t miss any of the action, make sure you’re set to record until 8:07 p.m.
You can thank us later.
