Celebrity Lookalikes: Ashley Greene And Everybody Else

We just got back from the doctor and he informed us that we have a rare, incurable neurological disease called Ashley Greene Aphasia. This means that every time we look at a photo of Ashley Greene our brain does this weird thing where it can’t figure out who, exactly, is staring back at us. We think this might be because — while we think Ashley’s s very pretty — she has this everywoman look about her. Half the time she just looks like another celebrity. Did we leave anyone out of our gallery? Let us know your pics for Ashley Greene lookalikes in the comments.

Kimberly Caldwell’s upcoming single “Mess of You”

Sherry — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 02:48:34 +0000

Remember Kimberly Caldwell? She was the firecracker from American Idol, season two who became even better known when David Cook asked her out on the red carpet before going in for the season finale.

Although I didn’t cheer for her in season two – I was a Clay Aiken supporter – I did always like her voice. It’s kind of husky and reminds me of Melissa Etheridge although it’s also immediately identifiable to me.

Kimberly has an album coming out soon and she gave a sneak peek of the upcoming single at a live performance recently. The song is called “Mess of You” and Kimberly explains to the crowd that although it may sound like it’s a song directed at some guy, it’s actually directed back at herself.

I’m not super crazy about the low parts, I find it hard to even really hear her but it could be the venue and the recording. Regardless, when Kimberly kicks it into full gear she sounds pretty good and I can see it being a hit when it’s released. It seems like it would have appeal on more than one type of radio station.

What do you think of Kimberly Caldwell’s new single?

Kimberly Caldwell to Host P. Diddy’s “StarMaker”

Kimberly Caldwell, who you might remember from Season 2 of American Idol (and as David Cook’s ex-girlfriend), is joining another reality TV show but, thankfully, she will NOT be a contestant. Instead, she’s been tapped to host P. Diddy’s new MTV show StarMaker.

On the show, 14 contestants vie for the ultimate prize – a recording contract with Bad Boy Records which, of course, would include having their career launched by Bad Boy CEO, P. Diddy. The 10-episode series kicks off on August 16, 2009 at 10pm ET/PT.

They do have some celebrity guests lined up including Fall Out Boy bassist, Pete Wentz, Lady Gaga, Nicole Scherzinger and Kelly Rowland (formerly of Destiny’s Child and BFF to Beyoncé). I may tune in for Pete Wentz. I can’t explain why but I just like him!

To be very honest, I’m not completely sure I’m going to watch it. Are you going to give it a try? I think it’s well placed on the schedule since it comes on right after America’s Best Dance Crew so StarMaker might get some of that audience.

David Cook and Kimberly Caldwell Break Up

Jeanne — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 18:43:16 +0000

David Cook and Kimberly Caldwell are said to have broken up just before the holidays, according to her rep.

The American Idol season seven winner and the season two finalist had been dating since last year’s Idol finale.

Despite trying hard to remain private, the pair had been spotted at a Dodgers game and Kimberly had joined David on the set of his video shoot for his single “Light On.”

I guess it just didn’t work out in the end. Her rep says that the pair continue to remain friends.

Get Yourself an Idol for Christmas

Jason Bean — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 13:28:35 +0000

Do you have a couple hundred grand just laying around this holiday season? No? How about a couple of thousand? If so you can get yourself a real live American Idol for your own family Christmas party, or maybe something a little larger.

For the right price, “American Idol” castoffs, finalists and even champs will pay a visit to your wedding, Sweet 16 or bar mitzvah.

“The average going rate for an ‘American Idol’ finalist can be as little as $15,000 or as much as $150,000,” says a source familiar with the business of brokering singers, bands and other talent for corporate functions and exclusive private parties.

A wealthy entertainment mogul once shelled out big bucks – more than $30,000 – to hire second-season “Idol” champ Ruben Studdard to sing just three songs at a party for his wife.

Taylor Hicks, the latest champ, fetches as much as $150,000 for a private performance. He’ll be able to demand more if he ever becomes as popular as the original “Idol” winner, Kelly Clarkson, who sources say is paid as much as $300,000 to put on a private mini-concert.

On the lower end of the “Idol” scale are acts like second-season finalist Kimberly Caldwell, who garners around $2,000 a gig, according to the gossip Web site, PerezHilton.com. She pockets $3,000 if you ask her to sing. But she’s made bigger money in the past; at one gig, Caldwell got as much as $7,500 to sit for hours signing autographs, an industry source says.

If anyone is interested in getting me a present, feel free to send an Idol my way. Can I charge for tickets though once I receive something like that as a gift?
