American Idol 2011: A star is born named Scotty McCreery say judges and fans?

American Idol 2011!

A star is born named Scotty McCreery say judges?

[Apr. 13]

American Idol judge Randy Jackson says [win or lose] a star in born in young country music singer Scotty McCreery and the rest of the celebrity judges agree. Was his claim surprising? Not at all if you stop for a moment and realize that Scotty — who you can vote for by dialing 1-866-IDOLS-4 — is only seventeen.

Scotty rubbed the crowd just the right way all season long with his deep country crooner voice. The celebrity teen is not only darling, he really knows how to sing. Couple his artistic ability with an award winning Mr. Nice guy personality, let’s hope Scotty does not finish last.

Judges Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler don’t think he will — but after last week’s early loss of singer Pia Toscano there is no telling how the American phone in voting will go.

Want to follow Scotty McCreery on Twitter? You can.

Prior to the April 13th live performance, Scotty himself tweeted the following status updates through social media:

Celebrity Couples: DWTS Mark Ballas and American Idol Pia Toscano dating?

DWTS Mark Ballas and American Idol Pia Toscano hooking up thanks to wrestler Chris Jericho?

[Apr. 10]

Mark Ballas and partner Disney starlet Chelsea Kane may have fired it up on the Dancing with the Stars dance floor, with their unmistakable chemistry both in front of the judges and behind the scenes, but American Idol hopeful Pia Toscano had her eyes on Ballas, since they both worked at the CBS Television Lot where the two shows are filmed.

But Pia needed an introduction, says TMZ. How does a starlet hopeful like Pia Toscano meet with an already famous dancer like Mark Ballas? Through the six degrees of Kevin Bacon — er, separation. Except this time it was only three degrees of separation and no Kevin Bacon (except maybe a little Animal House and Footloose, wink wink). It turns out Pia had a friend who was friends with wrestler Chris Jericho, and of course Chris Jericho also is performing on Dancing with the Stars with Mark Ballas. Voila! Introduction accomplished.

Chris Jericho from Dancing with the Stars must be quite the matchmaker, becaus TMZ says Mark Ballas was receptive and that he and Pia Toscano reportedly had a great time and are looking to have another rendezvous again soon. Mark Ballas even skipped out on a music video shoot for their big night together last Friday.

In spite of Pia Toscano being sent home early in a terrible upset of votes on American Idol, she may have won big anyway, through Chris Jericho, with her big date with Mark Ballas. Kudos to Pia, who many (especially the judges) feel she should not have been voted off the show.

And Mark Ballas is continuing to shine as well, both on stage and behind the scenes. He and Chelsea Kane (Team Kanenball, as Ballas calls the pair) have made it through another week of Dancing with the Stars, and he’s about to release his debut solo album, HurtLoveBox, on April 12, according to USA Today. He wrote the blog for USA Today before he hooked up with Pia Toscano, because in it he says he still planned to shoot a video the next day, but it seems all is working out well.

Celebrity Homes: American Idol $12M haunted mansion up for sale?

American Idol $12M haunted mansion up for sale?

[Apr. 10]

What’s scarier than standing up in front of an audience of millions to test your singing and stage presence on American Idol? The The American Idol haunted mansion (according to rumors) for finalists is up for sale as celebrity real estate, reports TMZ. Finalists there left the haunted mansion after spooky reports by some finalists — strange noises, breezes blowing the doors open. Your typical haunted mansion celebrity home type stuff. And the haunted mansion will be going for a whopping $12 million — so it houses luxury items for affluent ghosts, we’re sure.

PopEater reported at the end of March:

Naima Adedapo describes, “Even though I’m a very logical person, it was a little disturbing for it to be 2:30 in the morning and the doors blow open and there’s breeze and wind. I picked up this huge chair and put it in front of the door and it still blew open, so it was best to leave the house.”

“The house was just kind of falling apart,” American Idol Stefano Langone told E! Online. “Ants were all over my room. We relocated for a temporary thing. We’re at some hotel now.” And Naima complained of leaks in the haunted mansion.

Apparently a would-be green celebrity Idol winner and haunted mansions don’t get along so well. Not exactly green celebrity sort of digs, although the price tag seems to differ. Perhaps a green celebrity looking to move from the east coast to the west coast (several have been moving from New York) would be interested in having his or her own green celebrity … haunt … on the west coast? It could be a great tourist attraction!
