David Cook was a guest on last night’s “Larry King Live” and he talked about how his brother, Adam, passed away at the young age of 37-years-old and how he’s coping with the loss.

He says that he has amazing people surrounding him and that his brother kept his sense of humor to the very end. He said that Adam never let his medical problems define him or become a personality trait.

He also discusses how he and his parents are coping and how they shared lawyer jokes in the family, due to Adam’s profession. He says that Adam discovered his illness when he was 26-years-old and that he held on longer than expectations. (continue reading…)

Rumor has it that Britney Spears might be set to perform on the finale of “American Idol”.

She’s rumored to be taking the stage on the night that’s dedicated to finalists Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. Confirmed appearances on the show include Lionel Richie, Queen Latifah, Carlos Santana, Cyndi Lauper (yay), Black Eyed Peas, Keith Urban, along with past winners David Cook and Carrie Underwood.

Producers of the show have not confirmed any appearance by Britney, so we’re guessing at this point. Who else would you like to see on the finale?

In other Britney Spears news, apparently she sure knows how to spend the dough. She spent a whopping ten million between February and December, on Kevin Federline, child support, lawyers, and security.

David Cook was in Biloxi, Mississippi performing “Hot For Teacher” when he had a little bit of a misstep. It’s not that big of a deal, it wasn’t a monumental occasion, just a minor slip. It wasn’t like Joaquin Phoenix falling completely off of the stage.

He did a good job singing this Van Halen classic, too, don’t you think?

Since I haven’t been caring about this dumb show interested or watching American Idol this season, I will defer this commentary to my mother, who states this:

From all that I have read about the two, David Cook is the more popular of the two, which could translate into more votes. It’s a close race between them. Everyone is saying that Idol missed their chance with a rocker as their Idol two years ago with Chris Daughtry and this will give them a chance to get it right.

I think, just from what I’ve heard, that they’re wanting to make it look like it’s a stiff competition between Archuleta and Cook, but we all know that Cook is going to win. Why else would they be heaping praise onto Archuleta last night? To get us to watch, duh.

For all of us who thought that Simon Cowell equally disliked the remaining American Idol contestants, he’s actually come out to say that he likes one in particular….David Cook.

Blender asked Simon his thoughts on the upcoming winner of American Idol and here’s what he had to say:

Who do you think deserves to win this season? we asked Simon. “Probably David Cook,” he drawled. “I think he’s done more to deserve it over the eleven weeks. He’s taken more risks, he’s done things with certain songs that have been more interesting. If I’m gonna base it on who has done the best performances over the live shows, David Cook deserves to win.”

Of course David Cook deserves to win. Now that they’ve gotten rid of dreadboy, it’s only a matter of time that David can put out an album that no one will care about.

Sure it was a really great performance and he did it all without having to bother with any high notes.

First is my disclaimer, I really like David Cook as a singer. His voice is just awesome. And having his brother there, who’s suffering from brain cancer didn’t hurt his bid to be the American Idol, either, though, now did it?

I hope he wins….either that or the hot little dread boy.

David Cook was taken to the hospital last night due to experiencing heart palpitations during his performance on American Idol last night.

Get well David! I think he’s going to win, but I haven’t really been watching AI this year. I like him and that dread-headed guy.

Have you been watching American Idol this year?
