Bo Bice cancels shows because of surgery |

Message From Management, October 9, 2006 Bo’s relationship with you, his fans, has been one built on honesty from the very beginning. The moment he stepped on the stage for the first time at Idol, Bo has always been truthful and transparent about who he is and situations in his life. When he was hospitalized in Las Vegas with an intestinal condition, his desire not to disappoint his fans pushed him to get back out on tour as soon as he was able. As you all know, the situation was not resolved by that surgery, and Bo has unfortunately seen the inside of emergency rooms in different cities too often over the past year. After in depth discussions with his physicians, a new round of tests was scheduled during a break in the tour to attempt to pinpoint the problem and determine a course of action to resolve it. After the first round of tests was completed last week, Bo’s medical team concluded on review of the results that surgery could not wait, and he was immediately admitted to the hospital. The surgery was not easy or routine, and after a setback the following day, Bo is now recovering well under the supervision of his doctors and hospital staff.
We are confident that Bo will have a complete recovery, and hopeful that this procedure will be the final resolution to the problems that have existed for the past year. Bo is disappointed to say that this will obviously impact the remainder of the tour, but to what extent is currently unclear. We know your thoughts and prayers are with him, and we will keep you updated periodically if there are any changes.
One final comment to some inaccurate information that was released last week. Heath Clark has not “left” Sugarmoney. With the end of the album cycle rapidly approaching, Heath needed to insure the financial stability of he and his family. After full discussion with Bo and the boys, the decision was made that was best for everyone, and Heath will be back on board when it is time to begin the next cycle. Contrary to other people, and other sites, the band is still whole and united, and right now is there in support of Bo as he recovers.

Ruben Studdard cancels a charity event |

Officials say "American Idol" winner Ruben Studdard’s concert on October 13th to benefit the Shriners Hospitals for Children Transportation Fund has been postponed indefinitely. Although ticket sales for the Meridian, Mississippi show have been slow, Benny Eggler, recorder for the Hamasa Shriners and building manager of the Temple Theatre, says the postponement was "due to scheduling conflicts." Locally Hamasa Shriners help more than 500 children in 32 counties in East Mississippi who go to Shriners Children’s Hospital in Shreveport, Louisiana, Chicago, Saint Louis, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Galveston, Texas. Studdard, a native of Birmingham, rose to success after winning Fox’s talent competition "American Idol" in 2003.

Fantasia’s dad says her autobiography lied about him |

Joseph Barrino, the father of American Idol season-three winner Fantasia Barrino, has filed a $10 million libel lawsuit against Simon & Schuster over his portrayal in Fantasia – Life Is Not a Fairy Tale, his daughter’s 2005 book about her early years and rise to stardom. The book contains damaging untruths about him, Barrino claims in the suit, including that he couldn’t support his family, sacrificed his kids’ education to pursue music careers for them and asks Fantasia for money. The suit seeks $10 million in damages to "vindicate and restore the reputation of Plaintiff Joseph Barrino," a truck driver who lives in Greensboro, N.C. Fantasia is not named in the motion. The suit charges that the information in the book came primarily from a ghostwriter and from Addie Collins, Fantasia’s maternal grandmother. This is not the first controversy surrounding Life Is Not a Fairy Tale. The producers of Idol objected to their portrayal in a TV movie of the book that aired on Lifetime in August. In particular, they denied the adaptation’s claim that they’d urged Fantasia to withdraw from the competition because – as an unwed mother and high-school drop-out – she was not a suitable role model. Also, some residents of Fantasia’s High Point, N.C., hometown were upset with the depiction of their city in the book.
People
Seriosuly did anyone in this family read the book before it was published? And yes I will refrain from making any jokes about how could Fantasia read it you know since she can’t read.

Tonight was a blast!
This was the first show that all the IDOLs watched together backstage since the beginning of the tour…We had so many jokes on stage, you never knew what to expect. It was so much fun being able to share this evening with my parents, my brother Ryan, Elvio, and all my new friends from this AI experience.
I sang happy birthday to my mom during the show…I knew it would be less emotional if I had everyone sing it, but it would mean the world to her if I sang it so that’s what I did…and I had to step away from the mic towards the end when I looked in my parents eyes and saw them overjoyed  … It’s great to see a LIFE reminder so powerful, you know you’re on the right path.
I hung out signing autographs twice before the show and another time after…I had so much fun seeing everyone close up and being able to talk one on one.
After the show, Chris and I hooked up with Taylor’s band LMBO. When we first walked in, the security guards forced us to leave the blocked out area next to the stage because they weren’t comfortable with all the attention…After telling them that everything was fine they let Chris and I come back in, only to sing something on stage. So Chris and I sang "DREAM ON" by Aerosmith. We really wanted to rock out one more time together before our lives became really busy. Being able to share that moment with Chris and all of you that were there meant the world to me! I will remember this night forever… Right after we finished singing, security pulled us right back out of the room. When we were leaving, we weren’t allowed to hangout…I gave as many hugs as they allowed, then said goodbye to my parents (they had to go back to NY to fly home).
All in all, it was a great day! And best of all I got to spend it with some amazing people. You guys ROCK!!! Thank you so much.
My next steps are going to be big ones…and I’ll need your help..I promise that you’ll be the first to know!
SCATTERED should hit the radio and ITunes in 7 to 10 days!!!!!
To the best fans in the world…
much love,
ACE
so it begins

I am so going to buy whatever he puts out because he actually cares about his fans!

No one bids on Paula Abdul |

Yikes. Not a single bidder on the ebay auction that offered first class airfare for two, an appointment with a Beverly Hills stylist, shopping on Rodeo and the chance to hang with Paula Abdul. All proceeds for the auction would have gone to the MS Foundation but perhaps the $25,000 US price tag was a little steep? The auction ended over 4 hours ago without a bite.
Haute Gossip
Is it wrong of me to get some pleasure out of that? he he
