'Idol' Winner David Cook Announces his Brother's Passing at 5K Race (VIDEO)

American Idol winner David Cook's brother Adam has lost his battle with cancer. Cook announced the sad news before the Race for Hope 5K in Washington, D.C. on Sunday. The event benefits brain cancer research.

"I actually lost my brother yesterday to a brain tumor," Cook said, fighting back tears, "and I couldn't imagine being anywhere else right now."

Despite the devastating news, Cook says he never considered pulling out of the event and wanted to participate in honor of his late brother. "My brother never wanted his illness to affect others," Cook wrote on his Celebrity MySpace page. "That was evident in the fact that he wanted his illness to have no part in my experience on Idol, a point he was quite adamant about. So, with that wish in mind, I ran and was involved with the event as an homage to him."

Adam Cook is survived by his wife and two children. This is surely an incredibly difficult time for all of them - especially the kids who are no doubt reeling from the loss of their father. Our thoughts go out to them.

Bo Bice, who was in the audience last night to see David Cook crowned as this year's American Idol, has revealed the name of his unborn son who's due in August. And by celebrity standards, it's a normal one.

"[We're] having a little boy [and] we're going to name him Caleb," he told People magazine at the AI's season-seven finale Wednesday night.

Bice came in second to Carrie Underwood in the 2005 American Idol competition. This is the second child for Bice and wife Caroline Fisher; son Adlan Michael is 2.

Thanks, Bice, for not naming your kid Pilot Inspektor.

Angelina Jolie is a Big, Fat Liar!!

Angelina Jolie announced earlier, with some help from Dustin Hoffman that her due date for the twins is August 19th. LIES! PANTS! FIRE! RUN!

It turns out, and this is according to Perez Hilton so take it how you will, that Jolie told French TV that she was just kidding about the due date and that she will actually be giving birth to the twins in a couple of weeks.

Boy, did she fool us!

BTW, is Jack Black having more fun than France allows?

Oh, and this guy was there, too:

Fantasia On American Idol: Everyone Else Should Just Go Home

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 15 May 2008 16:15:00 GMT

Fantasia Barrino, the winner of the third season of American Idol, performed on last night's show (check out the video below.) Did anyone else think that she just kicked everyone else's asses? Her performance was so high energy and infectious it made the three remaining contestants seem as if they've been asleep this entire season.

Barrino caused controversy during her AI run because as a single mother she had given birth, at the age of 17, to daughter Zion, now 6. In 2005 her memoir Life Is Not a Fairy Tale, that revealed that she was functionally illiterate, rose to the top of the New York Times bestseller list.

The current season of American Idol is down to the two finalists, David Cook and David Archuleta. I won't say who I'm pulling for, except it's not the one who looks like an elf and belongs on a Disney float singing show tunes.

Miley Cyrus Pregnant? Due in October?

Whit Honea — Fri, 02 May 2008 17:02:00 GMT

Miley Cyrus will be the next pregnant teen you see. Um, don't watch Juno or go to the mall. She's got a baby brewing and the due date is October 24th.

Don't worry. She's not really pregnant. She's ACTING. Rumor has it that High School Musical 3 will be hitting theaters on Oct. 24th and that Miley has a cameo in it as a pregnant teen.

Granted these rumors came from Perez Hilton and I'm guessing that in light of the recent "scandals" with Miley and the Vanity Fair cover, not to mention HSM's Vanessa Hudgens and her photos (which really were nude) and the hoopla surrounding Jamie Lynn Spears, that Disney will be steering clear of topics that aren't considered 100% wholesome. Except for Vanessa Hudgens apparently.

'American Idol' Carly Smithson Pregnant?

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 01:37:00 GMT

I couldn't pay attention to the performances on last night's American Idol. Why? Because I was too busy trying to get a glimpse of contestant Carly Smithson's stomach to see if she looked pregnant. Rumor is that the 24-year-old Idol finalist is expecting a child.

Smithson is married so it wouldn't be a big scandal, except that there's never been a pregnant contestant in the top ten. I'm not sure if there's ever been a pregnant contestant, period.

Which brings me to my next question: Are they even allowed to have sex once they've passed the sacred doors of the American Idol enclave? I mean, with anyone besides Paula, that is.
