10/7: LaKisha Jones married, “Idol Rewind” is back
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Since ajc.com decided to make **LaKisha Jones’s marriage a lead “buzz” item this afternoon, I decided I better post this now. Personally, I don’t get a sense that many people care about Jones compared to even Melinda or Jordin or even Blake. But alas, here’s the news right here..
She’s married some financial advisor in Beverly Hills. And she has an album coming out next year. That’s pretty much it!
-Misty May-Treanor is out of “Dancing With the Stars” with an Achilles tendon break. They’ve never had anybody drop out due to injury mid competition before. At least I can’t remember that happening. Anybody help me on that one? Will this mean they will bring back Kim Kardashian? Was this some nefarious plot from our blogger JTesla to get her back? We shall see…
-I watched the first episode of ‘American Idol Rewind,” finally. I still need to catch the Atlanta auditions featuring Fantasia and Jennfier Hudson, the two most prominent contestants from that season. That aired this past weekend on WATL-TV in the evening. TV Guide Channel airs the Atlanta episode this Friday and in repeats over the weekend. (Watching it on TV Guide Channel is irritating because you have the TV grid eating up 20% of the screen.)
MJ found the schedule for “Idol Rewind,” which airs just 22 episodes and meshes seasons three and four, rather than just one season. Apparently, the editors figured nobody cares about season three that much (the least popular in many people’s minds) so it’s covered in just seven episodes. The top 12 episodes are covered in two hours. The semifinal and Hollywood rounds aren’t even included.
I may speak to season three crooner John Stevens later today and will post something if that happens.

For some reason, I just can not recall LaKisha. She must not have made an impression on me. But, congrats to her and her new hubby.
Rodney, the only person that I remember leaving DWTS in mid season was Sara Evans and she left due to personal reasons and not an injury. It seems like they did at the time, bring back the last person that was voted off. Anyone correct me if I am wrong.
Got good news and bad news at the doctor’s, but I’m still breathing, so I’m alright.

LaKisha was known sometimes as “kiki” — she was another of the larger women with large voices, so not so popular with the ahem gents in the crowd…
i HATE it that Misty May is gone, because she was indeed one of my faves :-( — sigh… so yeah, we’ll probably get ol’ Kimmie back, way to go JT!!! Nefarious indeed! aaaHAH!

Nana, Lakisha was Mandisa part II, but she actually went further in the competition. She was voted off the island a week before Melinda Doolittle. Did Lakisha hit the Christian music circuit or was that Mandisa? Either way, she has suffered the same fate of many Season 6 contestants. I don’t think she even got to peddle ice cream.
Linny, I think the DWTS producers are too afraid to bring Kim back; they know that the assets she brings to the show will overshadow all the other contestants. They just can’t handle the crushed egos that would result.

Thanks linny and JT for the info. I still can’t place her, but I do remember Mandisa.
I too hate the fact that Misty May had to leave. She was good and I felt like she would go far. I enjoyed watching her dance. That’s a shame that she had to leave the way she did. Surgery is not a fun thing. May she heal and recover quickly.

OKay, Cloris has got to go!!!!! Nuff already.
The best tonight were Warren & Kym and Brooke & Derick. After re-thinking about my earlier post, I am correcting myself. I had stated that when Sara Evans left the show, they brought back the last one eliminated but I think what they did instead is the show did not voted anyone off that week. By another couple leaving that would make the show end a week earlier and that’s way on one else went home the same week that Sara left.
Gonna grab me a book and read for awhile, so good night to all.
