Just got back from Los Angeles where I was covering American Idol! I attended the red carpet (it was really a blue carpet) party where all the Top 12 contestants strutted their stuff. I had the interviewed our two Chicago contestants, Lee Dewyze of Mount Prospect and Crystal Bowersox of Chicago. Both were thrilled to to make it this far and even gave me the scoop on where they used to work in the city! Be sure to click here for my interviews with all the Top 12 contestants! You can also hear what contestant Andrew Garcia has to say about the judges and what Michael Lynche's baby did when he first got home from Hollywood week! American Idol is on Tuesdays at 7pm and Wednesdays at 8pm on FOX Chicago!

Also, check out my interview with The Black Eyed Peas who were in town over the weekend performing at the United Center. Fergie told me what she likes to eat backstage before a show and the snack you can only get in Chicago that she can't get enough of! The group also told me how they planned to party St. Patrick's Day weekend!

Hey Everyone! Welcome to my blog! There's been lots going on in Chicago's entertainment world. This past weekend the Jersey Shore came to Chicago! Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Paul "DJ Pauly D" Delvecchio stopped by Lumen nightclub for an appearance. The ladies were going crazy as The Situation and Pauly sipped on Svedka vodka in the VIP section and threw out t-shirts to the crowd.
