NEW STUFF: An A.I. Reject Returns To The Scene + Boosie, & The Bees

Think back to American Idol, Season 6 (two seasons ago), when young bi-racial pop tart Jordin Sparks claimed the title.

It was the season Sanjaya made us all cry (and not in a good way) and LaKisha Jones (who has an album coming out on Feb. 17th) showed that big girls can still make it to the top.

Yet there were someone in the that caught my eye way more than anyone else, including Miss Sparks ... Her name was Dolittle -- Melinda Dolittle ... a back-up singer who wanted to be out front.


She was a timid little something with this big, amazing voice ... she was the 2nd runner up that season (to the surprise of many) ... but now, just like many American Idol runners-up and rejects ... she's making her debut without them.

Coming Back To You, Melinda's first release, hits stores today. Go HERE to hear samples of the album.

• Go HERE to see Melinda's final performance on her season of American Idol.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Also out today -- The Secret Life of Bees on DVD. Remember this star-studded, trip back in time ... courtesy of a much-loved novel? Well now you can see Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys and company ... on the small screen, so go get your copy :)



ALSO ...



Don't know if this is correct or not (because rap albums get pushed back sooooo much), but it seems that BR native Lil' Boosie has another album out in stores today (according to Amazon.com) called "The Click" ... Check it out HERE.
