My personal favourite is and always has been Adam Lambert. But i think Kris Allen needs American Idol endorsement more to jump start his music career. Lambert is a super star who will be successful outside of American Idol, no matter what.
Did you hear Kris Allen's speech after he was announced the winner? He thinks that he does not deserve to win. WTF? Dude, you got so far!!! You did great!
Anyways, click here to read about the result show.
*Press play to watch David Cook address the Race of Hope crowd after the race.*
American Idol winner David Cook's borther, Adam Cook, lost his fight battling cancer at the age of 36. Ironically, Adam succumbed to brain tumor a day before David ran for the Race of Hope, to advance the fight against brain cancer.
If you watch the video above, it is obvious that David did not make his loss known during the race, and only speak of it during his speech where he broke down and quickly recompose himself. According to a volunteer at the Race of Hope, David chatted, smiled for pictures with fans, runners and volunteers, and was an absolutely beautiful human being with all involved.
Unbeknown to many, he ran The Race For Hope carrying the heaviest of hearts, yet still showing unwavering strength, faith, hope and unmistakable love for his brother Adam. This was by far, the greatest tribute of love and devotion a brother could ever give to the other.
In this time of great sorrow, draw on each other, family and good friends for support and strength. David is an inspiration and has taught us much about good character, unselfish giving, friendships and family. We morn your loss. Let's leave a light on for David Cook.

Since Rihanna is reportedly resuming her world tour, is she still scheduled to performed in KL?
The latest tour dates and locations on Rihanna's website was in December 08 (wtf?). It is very backdated for an international artist. A quick check on Pineapple Concerts website shows that the replacement date for her concert were supposed to be announced two weeks from February 10th, which was 24th February.
Well, it's been more than seven weeks now. It'll be two months next week. What does the ticket holders have to say?
Occasionally i like to drop some interesting trivia in my blog because well imagine your whole job involves you looking for interesting facts and stuff that people don't know, then you find something and you get inspired! what should you do? let it fade maybe? the answer is pretty simple: blog about it!! Plus I feel an emotional soft spot to people who started out or are in radio.
well anyways did you know that Ludacris started out as a Radio DJ! yeah that's right he used to be known as DJ Chris Lova Lova on Hot97.5 in Atlanta,USA. Plus did you know that even after making millions he still drives his 1992 Acura Legend to keep himself grounded and down to earth. That's like Siti Nurhaliza and Datuk K still driving their first Perodua Kancil (if they ever had one)!!! Hmmm... maybe i should start a career in music.

In other stories, I was recently on Perezhilton.com and recently Jamie Foxx on his Sirius Radio Show openly made fun of the Miley Cyrus VS Radiohead issue. He then started making fun of Miley and started saying that she got more gums then teeth. OK honestly it sounds terrible but it really did crack me up. Here have a listen for yourself...please do so with an open mind.
If only Malaysian Radio could be as entertaining and just blatantly honest no matter how vulgar! Hmmm...maybe it could.
When i first heard it i was as awestruck as you are, i was like what?! No way would they break up over something so small. As a news guy on a radio station reporting on the latest gossips, i shouldn't have been surprised cause relationships or even marriages in Hollywood are as permanant as whiteboard markers.
So the story goes that John Mayer would not return any of Jennifer's phone calls, messages, e-mails, text. But he can update his Twitter account every single minute of every single hour of every single day of every... you get the picture. So obviously Aniston had enough.
Mayer was so hooked to the point that when they broke up, thus he Twitted "This heart didn't come with instructions."
So i guessed girls break up with their boyfriends over football, Nintendo Wii, Victoria Secret angels, your-collegue-that-you-never-have-a-crush-on-but-just-because-she-wears-skirt-to- work, and porn...
The next non-sexual reason for break ups? Twitter.
Here is the latest news in the entertainment industry. According to Juice Online, NERD had cancelled their Jakarta gig because they got pissed off after they were detained by Malaysian Authorites.
What happened? Apparently the licenses to have NERD perform in Malaysia had been denied twice due to inappropriate dressing and during Sunburst they performed without a license. SO the Malaysian authorites detained the band and held their passports. Pineapple had negotiated with authorities and took responsibility to let NERD go.
By this time NERD had been pissed and cancelled their Jakarata gig. Seriously shame on Pineapple and how internationally embarassing it is for Malaysia.
On Behalf of all Malaysians to Jakarta and NERD we are so sorry.
