176 Blake Lewis “Imagine” 6,558 (New) Total: 6,558 (-)

So why did I say that the singles were not doing that well? Here is how the other the American Idols did the first week of their release:

Clay Aiken “This is the Night”: 393,000
Ruben Studdard “Flying Without Wings” : 286,000
Kelly Clarkson “A Moment Like This” : 236,000
Taylor Hicks “Do I Make You Proud”: 228,418 (CS: 190,619)
Carrie Underwood “Inside Your Heaven”: 170,528 (CS: 131,504)
Fantasia “I Believe”: 142,141
Bo Bice: “Inside Your Heaven”: 121,423 (CS: 108,158)
Katharine McPhee “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”: 74,965 (CS: 47,394)
Diana Degarmo “Dreams”: 65,000

Considering that only Diana Degarmo did worse than the two current American Idol contestants, I would say things are not looking good for their eventual album sales. That is if Blake Lewis does get an album deal, which I am sure he will, it is just not going to be by Clive Davis.

It has been two weeks since ABC confirmed that Dancing with the Stars was coming this fall and already we are hearing who might be part of the show's fifth edition. According to IOL when Scary Spice's (Melanie Brown) spokesperson was asked if she has spoken to Eddie Murphy they responded by saying,  "Eddie hasn't been in contact yet, but Mel's been busy with the US version of Strictly Come Dancing and her daughters." Hmmm, very interesting? It kind of makes sense though because the show did wonders for Baby Spice in The UK. But I wonder is DWTS trying to take one controversial English person each season and make them a positive name in the US? Last year was Heather Mills, now Melanie B, who is next Posh Spice or Jordan or George Micheal or Boy George or Naomi Campbell?

A friend of Paris Hilton's told People Magazine that although Paris Hilton looks like everything is fine, she is actually really nervous about going to jail. "Paris hasn't been eating at all and her parents and friends are beyond worried about her. She breaks down crying a lot because she just can't deal with the reality and the pressure of everything that is happening." The source added, "She's been having such a tough time with it all despite her going out with friends and going shopping. She just does that to keep her mind off things and to try and stay as normal as possible right now." Even though she had a Memorial Day party she is beginning to realize who is really there for her, "Her biggest support has been her family – her parents without a doubt. She talks to them a million times a day and they are doing everything they can to make sure that she comes out of this okay.As for her friends, that's been another spot of stress for Paris, She really can't take how most people around her have scattered and distanced themselves." I think it is normal for her to be scared about going to jail, hopefully it will change her for the better. I was hoping some of friends and ex-friends would also take notice that there could be consequences for your actions, but after this weekend we learned that they didn't.
