10/15: David Archuleta at Star 94’s Jingle Jam December 17 at Gwinnett Arena, 2008 American Music Award nominations, David Cook on Saturday Night Live Nov. 1
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Archie’s Angels are going to be lining up for tix Saturday because David Archuleta will be joining Star 94’s annual Jingle Jam at Gwinnett Arena. Mark the date: December 17. Tix go on sale Saturday at Ticketmaster but you can get seats Thursday by signing up with Star 94 here.
He will be joined by We the Kings, Flyleaf, Colbie Caillat and Gavin DeGraw. Although he’s not the headliner, he is arguably the best known name in the lineup this year and will drive sales the way the Jonas Brothers did last year (although Avril Lavigne was the headliner.)
-Daughtry, Jordin Sparks and Carrie Underwood all received American Music Award nominations this year. Show is set to air November 23 on ABC.
Daughtry was nominated for favorite band, duo or group in the pop/rock category (vs. the Eagles and Coldplay) and favorite artist in the adult contemporary category (vs. Jordin Sparks and the Eagles.) He might have a shot at either one.
Carrie Underwood once again was nominated for best female artist in country, against Taylor Swift and Reba McEntire. (Taylor is hot right now. She could win based on online votes.)
-David Cook is going to appear on “Saturday Night Live” on November 1 (with Ben Affleck), the big one right before the election. Except mondo ratings. Already, “SNL” is up 50 percent over last year, averaging about 10 million viewers. He is the fourth “Idol” to appear on the show after Clay Aiken, Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. Info confirmed by the Chicago Tribune.
-And MJ found David Cook’s album cover and track listing for his new album set to be released November 18, courtesy of RCA. It’s just $9.99 on Amazon.

Good Morning!!!! It’s hump day, so lets make the best of it and head to the home stretch for the weekend.
You better believe the Archie fans will come out in full force. He has really made a name for himself.
DC’s cd should be a good one with the songs that are on it. Hope it really does well for him.
On DWTS wished that Cloris had went home last night instead of Rocco, but definitely was not suprised. Those children dancers were totally amazing.
Gotta head to Griffin this morning, so I better hit the road to get there by 6:30. Ya’ll be safe and drive careful.
BTW, if I get back to Norcross in time this afternoon, I have a joke for ya’ll. If not, I’ll post it tomorrow.

Morning!
I was out running errands all day yesterday and didn’t get to post.
Looks like David Cook is going to have a winner on his hands. If the awful coronation song can hit the top 40, I have high hopes for his new cd.
JT…I can’t believe your name doesn’t appear at the top of the post list! Usually when Rodney posts at night, you’re right there!

Is it that cute little redhead who gets you up this early, JT or are you a natural born early riser?

Thanks flats, I do try to work out a little.
Deirdre, the bad economy gets me up early, just trying to be the good little worker. The cute little redhead only wakes up early on weekends. What’s up with that?

morning Deirdre, Nana, JT. Won’t be around much today, tons to do, so taking a moment to say “hi”… so
Hi!!
Nana I agree, wishing Cloris had been voted off, but I have to admit, her dance this week was actually adequate instead of just stupid.
Loved the Goth Tango by Lacey and Lance!
see you guys later!!

Deirdre, sometimes JT is generous, he let me post first yesterday by a mere nano second.
I guess I’ll be watching the ultimate reality show tonight, since that’s the only one on.

Good Morning. Hope you all had a great evening.
Did anyone watch the debate last night? That’s my political discussion on here.
Hopefully, I will be able to post today since yesterday was a bust for me. Never made it back to the Norcross office from the Griffin office. Only 1 1/2 weeks left in Norcross, then its off to Griffin 5 days week.
Time to head out, so ya’ll be careful and drive safe.

Morning everyone. I won’t be posting today. Have to be out of the office doing stuff today. BTW Blake Mitchell is playing at a hole-in-the-wall club here in Columbia, SC tonight. Here is the link to the story in our local newspaper this morning, if anyone cares to read it: http://www.thestate.com/music/story/556443.html

Since i wasn’t able to post yesterday, here is the joke that I was gonna tell. Ya’ll ready?
After a long night of making love, the guy notices a photo of another man on the woman’s nighstand by the bed. He begins to worry. “Is this your husband?”he nervously asks. “No silly,” she replies, snuggling up to him. “Your boyfriend then?” he asks. “No, not at all,” she says, nibbling away at his ear. “Is it your dad or brother?” he inquires, hoping to be reassured. “No, no, no?” she replies. “You are so hot when you’re jealous” she answers. “Well who in the heck is he, then?” he demands. She whipers in his ear, “That’s me before the surgery.”
Hope I put a smile on your face.

Saw a clip last night of Celebrity Rehab and Nikki McKibbon looks awful. She doesn’t even look anything close to what she did on AI. I guess her addiction has played havoc on her. I hope she gets the help she needs to get her life back on track, and the others as well.

Sorry tanning lotion, sounds like some people can only live to be negative and that is sad. It leads me to the positive effect David A’s singing has on many of us. Go David!
