Additional October News - 10/10/08

:) Hey there! I would have waited awhile longer to post this new news but just could not keep it under my bonnet so here goes with the latest.


Paris Bennett of our favorite season has given birth to a new daughter. She weighed in at 5lbs 15ozs and the most exciting news about this birth is she delivered on Taylor's birthday October 7th. Seems the daddy of the new child is still shrouded in mystery but judging by the excitement Paris is saying about her new angel I am sure all are thrilled. By the way she named the baby Egypt. Strange name indeed. Last but not least Princess P will be releasing a new Christmas album on October 14th entitled "A Royal Christmas". Congrats and best wishes to all!


Jared Cotter of season 6 is a real cutie and is representing New Jersey for Cosmopolitian's "Bachelor of the Year" for 2008. Jared is busy these days hosting several shows on the BET channel. Great going Jared!

Okay one last item before I sign off. Jennifer Hudson had a guest spot on "Dancing With The Stars" last week and sang her song "Spotlight". Frankly I hate the song. However she seems to be doing well with her self-titled album release of September 30th. I might also add here that I honestly thought Lakisha Jones sang the song "And I'm Telling You" a lot better than Jennifer did. I think I may have already posted this info before but just had to add my two cents once again.

:) Okay gang, that's a wrap for now. Take care all!

:) Hey it is raining girls on Taylor's birthday. Just read that Lisa Marie Presley gave birth to twin girls on October 7th. One weighed in at 5 lbs 15 ozs and the other was 5 lbs 2 ozs. No info on names but isn't it grand that so many artists children are being born on our favorite guy's birthday.

And of course, the girls want to party with outr Tay - who wouldn't? I love hearing about the bbies and the other news. So, Tay had three number 1 songs? Did I read that right? Huh?

Hi tyg. I don't think Taylor had 3 number #1 songs, I think his song "Do I Make You Proud" was in the number #1 spot 3 times. Same with some of the other artists like Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, etc. I think some of their songs hit number #1 several times. I know that song "I'm Going Home" or whatever it is called was back and forth to number 1 like a yoyo.

Anyway, good to hear from you!

Aaaaah, that actually makes sense. I thought it was a bit strange. I love Tay, but theyhaven't played him on the radio much, a bone of contention with all of us, so I was confused.
