Sanjaya MalakarDuring his time on ’s sixth season, Sanjaya Malakar enjoyed a unique sort of fame. His biggest critics said he couldn’t sing a lick - but nothing could sway his fans from their die-hard devotion. He made waves with his changing hairdo and seemingly against-the-odds run on the show…but does Malakar have a few waves to make for the series yet?

“I realized that I had a story that no other past contestant has said,” recently told Access Hollywood.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music

Kevin CostnerWhat do you do when your movie career fizzles? Well - if you’re Jessica Simpson , you turn to country music.

Kevin, who was last seen in , recently told People that he will be releasing a country album next month.

While this might seem like surprising news to most Costner followers, the 53-year-old has been moonlighting as a musician for quite some time now. In fact, some of his Modern West band members have been working with him for nearly 20 years. (Not that this qualifies them to sell any tracks or anything.)

The album - which Kevin co-wrote six songs for - is due out on November 11. Assuming the actor doesn’t line up any other acting gigs (he just recently wrapped work on The New Daughter), the band will be out touring by the end of this year. Expect the ladies of to feign interest shortly.

Mariah Carey Edges Past Elvis

Put-Description-HereAlthough I knew this day would eventually come, I still have a hard time believing it’s finally happened.  has just now surpassed The King.

Mariah’s latest single, Touch My Body, just became the Number One song on Billboard’s Hot 100.  This achievement gives the 38-year-old singer a total of eighteen #1 hits on those charts, edging her right past Elvis Presley.  (He was holding reign at 17.)  With a few more years under her belt, she may one day pass as well.  (The Fab Four clock in at 20 toppers.)

While I will fully admit that I like many of Carey’s songs, I find it strange to even think of her musical library being in the same realm as those two legends.  Will her songs eventually stand the test of time?  Which one of her singles could possibly compare to something like Let It Be or Can’t Help Falling in Love?

Carey’s next album, E=MC2, will be released on April 16.
