Kansas City Royals fans can stop worrying about guilt as there won’t be 25 crying kids in the crowd when David Cook gets back into town. The American Idol contestant was approached by the baseball team to sing the national anthem at a game on May 9. The thing is 25 elementary kids were already book to do that job. Being the great guy that he is, David instead chose to sing ‘Take Me Out to the Ball Game’ during the 7th inning and throw out the first pitch. David was invited to the game because if he survives another week of Idol, he’ll be heading home to Missouri for a visit.

The Lunch Lady from Survivor: China didn’t win the grand prize, but she did get a fat one from Survivor producer Mark Burnett after she announced that she lost her job after being on the show. He forked over $50,000 bucks to Denise Martin.
This happened Sunday night. The former cafeteria worker was, by Tuesday, was having to explain some allegations that she misled us, based on a press release from the superintendent of the Douglas, Mass., school district. The superintendent says, “Although Mrs. Martin was a cafeteria employee prior to her selection as a contestant, she asked to be considered for a promotion to full-time custodian, and was promoted to this position on March 30, 2007. This promotion came with additional benefits and a higher salary. Following her leave, she then returned to this same position.”
Denise’s response: “Nancy has been outstanding to me…I appreciate everything they’ve done, and I’m sorry. I apologize to everybody. If none of this had happened, I could never say I’m sorry enough.”
Let’s hope she returns the money that is rightfully Burnett’s and figures out where to get a decent haircut.

It was just a day ago that Helio Castroneves was names the newest winner of Dancing with the Stars. Now, word has it that he and his fiancee Aliette Vazquez have separated.
He gave an exclusive statement to People Magazine, saying, “I can confirm that Aliette Vasquez and I have called off our engagement and are no longer together.” He also stated that he would like his private life to remain just that for now - private.
This isn’t the first wedding date change for Castroneves. He and Vazquez had already postponed it once earlier in the season. His explanation, “Everything is happening so quick. The championship is over, the dancing started, and basically, I was like, ‘Ali, let’s take it easy. Otherwise we will be divorces before we get married!’”
Now, this would seem like a normal, everyday occurance in Hollywood. Strange thing is, though, he isn’t the first member of the Dancing with the Stars crew to break off an engagement this season. In May, professional dancer Julianne Hough postponed her wedding to fellow dancer Zach Wilson. Why is this strange? In case you’ve been living under a rock, Hough was Castroneves’ partner for the show.
Hmm….sounds fishy to me….
