Buy tickets for Kimberley's "Locke & Loaded" cruise
Kimberley Locke is no stranger to cruise ship singing (much to Simon's chagrin), and her upcoming "Locke & Loaded" cruise with fellow Celebrity Fit Club star and expert fitness guru Harvey Walden is being marketed as "7 days of sun and fun and music and fitness and wow!"
Although the Caribbean cruise is still a good nine months away, tickets are now available to purchase for the extravaganza on LockeandLoaded.com. Prices range from $849-1,950 per person.
The Liberty of the Seas launches from Miami at 4:30 p.m. on Sat., Sept. 12 and returns Sat., Sept. 19 at 7 a.m. (full itinerary found here). Other Idol alums that will be joining Kimberley include Jon Peter Lewis and Vonzell Solomon, with a possible appearance by Diana DeGarmo if Kimberley can talk her into it. Guests will be treated to two concerts by Kimberley, one by Jon and one by Vonzell with additional artists getting play time as well.
There's no word yet if Kimberley's Celebrity Fit Club "friend" Dustin Diamond will join the crew on the high seas for the occasion. IDOL LIVE is willing to bet he won't.

Jennifer issues a statement
Jennifer Hudson issued a statement via a blog entry on her official music MySpace page Sunday thanking fans for the outpouring of support that she has received since news came of the slayings of her mother and brother and the kidnapping of her 7-year-old nephew.
In the entry, Jennifer said the following:Thank you all for your prayers and your calls. Please keep praying for our family and that we get Julian King back home safely. If anyone has any information about his whereabouts please contact the authorities immediately. Here is a picture of Julian and what he was last seen wearing. Once again thank you all for being there for us through this tough time.
The statement was signed "The Hudson Family." So far, police have named William Balfour, the estranged husband of Jennifer's sister, Julia, as a "person of interest" in the killings and kidnapping. According to The Associated Press, however, he has not officially been charged with the crimes. Two photos of Jennifer's nephew, Julian King, were included in her blog entry.
Former Idol finalists from Season 3 have spoken out in support of Jennifer including LaToya London, who said "My heart, my prayers and love go out to Jennifer and her family" and Diana DeGarmo, who said "My thoughts and prayers are with you, Jennifer and we are here for you."
Jon Peter Lewis probably summed it up best when he called the situation "Senseless beyond speech," following it up with "Infuriating. Confusing. Heartbreaking. There are no words that could describe the loss you must feel."

Poll of the week: J-Hud owns ths spotlight
In the third installment of the debut album champion series for the IDOL LIVE poll of the week, Jennifer Hudson's self-titled album owned the spotlight. It placed first among the nine albums from Season 3 finalists that were included in the poll, taking in 17 votes, or 45% of the poll's total take. The fact that Jennifer's album was the most recent one to be released most likely helped her out in this poll.
Coming in second was Blue Skies, Diana DeGarmo's debut album. It beat out Fantasia's Free Yourself, taking eight votes to the latter's seven. Respective percentage totals were 21% and 18%.
The only other albums to take in any votes were Jon Peter Lewis' Stories From Hollywood and Jasmine Trias' self-titled effort. Hollywood received three votes (8%), while Jasmine Trias got two votes (5%).
In this week's poll of the week, readers will be asked to vote for their favorite debut album from a Season 4 alum. You have exactly one week to vote.
Free Yourself (Fantasia) 7 (18%)
Blue Skies (Diana DeGarmo) 8 (21%)
Jasmine Trias (Jasmine Trias) 2 (5%)
Love & Life (LaToya London) 0 (0%)
Miracles (George Huff) 0 (0%)
Red (John Stevens) 0 (0%)

Keeping up with AJ Tabaldo
Season 6's Top 20 semifinalist AJ Tabaldo may not have been feeling good the night of March 1, 2007, when he was eliminated from the show, but his rendition of the Nina Simone classic left lasting impressions on many viewers.
Although he has yet to hit it big in the music industry, there are currently five tracks available to listen to on AJ's official music MySpace page including a cover of "A House Is Not a Home" and four original songs.
He was also featured on the first volume of the "Curtain Call" series, which was released on Feb. 5, 2008 and features songs from three Idol alums in addition to AJ including Jon Peter Lewis (Season 3), Stevie Scott (Season 5) and Ryan Starr (Season 1).

Keeping up with Ryan Starr
Before Daughtry, Bo Bice and Constantine even saw an ounce of fame, Idol's resident rocker was a female. Ryan Starr placed seventh on the show's first season in 2002 and has carried herself far ever since.
Ryan has focused more on the television aspect of the entertainment industry, as she has starred on The Surreal Life (2004), Battle of the Network Reality Stars (2005) and was set to star in the second season of E!'s Kill Reality before it fell through. But she is currently looking to merge her love for TV with her music career, as she is shopping around a reality show that centers around the recording process of her album. MTV, E!, FUSE, Bravo and FOX Reality are reportedly interested.
On the music side of things, Ryan released an exclusive single at iTunes in September 2004 in "My Religion," which reached #1 on Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart. She also had three tracks released on the first volume of the "Curtain Call" series, which was released on Feb. 5, 2008 and features songs from Idol alums. Ryan's tracks appeared on the same album as Stevie Scott (Season 5), AJ Tabaldo (Season 6) and Jon Peter Lewis (Season 3).
Ryan recently added songs to her official music MySpace page including "7 am," "Stranded" and "Eyes of a Child." There is no word yet on when Ryan's album will be released.

'Idol' BB 200: 'Carnival Ride' #42 (8/9/08)
Carrie Underwood's Carnival Ride actually improved in rankings on the Billboard Top 200 album chart for the week of Aug. 9 despite another 6% dip in sales. The disc shifted an additional 11.8k copies but inched up #43-42. Daughtry stayed even at #87, and managed to only fall 3%. Total sales now stand at 4.16 million. Jordin Sparks' self-titled album continued to slide, falling 7 spots to #108, but her 6.4k copies for the week put her total at 863k.
Noticeably missing this week were Ace Young and Jon Peter Lewis, as the former fell off the chart from #160 last week, whereas the latter's sophomore album, Break the Silence, debuted last week and missed the chart entirely. Full chart positions courtesy of 2m over on Pulse are as follows:
042 043 Carrie Underwood - Carnival Ride 11,860 -6% 12,634 2,255,032
087 087 Daughtry - Daughtry 7,142 -3% 7,353 4,164,681
108 101 Jordin Sparks - Jordin Sparks 6,448 -7% 6,908 863,581
Total sales are in bold.

Keeping up with Jon Peter Lewis
Jon Peter Lewis, the eighth-place finisher on American Idol: Season 3, has accomplished quite a bit since his run on the show ended in April 2004. Famously referred to as having the look of a "pen salesman" and "the personality of a mouse" by judge Simon Cowell, JPL released his debut album Stories from Hollywood on Nov. 7, 2006 on indie label Authentic Records. Although the album struggled to reach 1,000 copies sold, JPL will release a follow-up this spring produced by Chris Garcia (Santana, Jewel).
Three of JPL's tracks from Hollywood ("Boy Next Door," "Gypsy Queen" and "Man from Amsterdam") were featured on Audio Bee's Curtain Call: New Songs from Past American Idol Finalists, Vol. 1 compilation, which was released to iTunes on Feb. 5, 2008.
JPL now has his new single "Breaking the Silence" up on his MySpace page.
