Country Music Awards

Well, Country's Biggest Night, The CMA Awards have come and gone and none of the American Idols went home winners. They may not have won any awards, but they still made the best of things.

The Season 1 Miss American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson, was not only nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year, but she is now a full-fledged member of country music family. Reba is her mother-in-law!!! And there is also good news that was just announced - Kelly and her new husband are expecting their first child together.

The Supreme Miss American Idol, Season 4 winner, Carrie Underwood, was back hosting the CMA Awards for the 6th time with Brad Paisley. They were funnier than ever in their opening routine singing and telling jokes. The Season 5 Miss American finalist and Dancing With The Stars winner, Kellie Pickler, was even utilized during the opening segment to facilitate one of their jokes. Carrie also looked amazing in an assortment of glamorous and stylish gowns.  

The CMA Awards are now history, but there is a second chance for these Miss American Idols to win at the upcoming American Country Awards. Carrie Underwood has four nominations including Touring Artist of the Year and Single by a Female Artist. Carrie is also competing against Kellie Pickler for Video by a Female Artist and against Kelly Clarkson for Female Artist of the Year.

The Winners of the American Country Awards will air live on Tuesday Dec. 10th.

Adam Lambert on Glee!

The Season 8 Miss American Idol 1st Runner Up, Adam Lambert, has made his first appearance on the hit musical TV series, Glee.

Adam plays a struggling artist in New York who auditions to be in a band that is being formed by main character, Kurt Hummel. Adam's character goes by the name, Starchild, and he blows everyone away with his first song, a cover of the Lady Gaga hit, Marry The Night. It is a spectacular, over the top glam rock, high energy performance. Kurt is initially threatened by Starchild's talent, but he eventually gives in and agree to put him in the band.

There is definitely some flirtatious chemistry going on between Kurt and Starchild, so in coming episodes this could pose a threat to Kurt's engagement to Blaine who is back at him.

Ruben is not the Biggest Loser

Season 2 Miss American Idol winner Ruben Studdard has been eliminated from the show "The Biggest Loser" after failing to lose 11 pounds in a week. In just four weeks on the dieting and exercise show her lost a total of 39 pounds, but his team needed him to lose an extra 11 before Tuesday night's televised 'weigh-in', and he was asked to leave.

The 35-year-old, who, at his heaviest, tipped the scales at 462 pounds, said, "I worked really, really hard this week. I swam extra. I walked extra."

He then added, "This experience is one of the toughest things I've been through. I've been through two-a-day football practices; I've been through the 'American Idol' experience; I've been through a lot of mentally and physically challenging experiences in my life, and this ... ranks right up there at the top."

But he's determined to keep the weight off and lose more, revealing the show has given him the incentive he needed to slim down. He stated, "America, my voice may be soulful, but the next time you see me, my body will be sexy."
