It isn’t a surprise for us to see a reject from American Idol make his or her way to the top somehow. They are snatched up by a record label that sees their potential and makes them a star. Clay Aiken is a good example of this. He was a runner up – but for awhile his fame was big and he became more popular to the crowd than the winner Ruben Studdard.
This week Amanda Overmeyer was eliminated from “American Idol”. Does this mean that she will give up her dreams? Amanda has stated that she won’t give up hope – but that she won’t spend her entire life trying to chase after it either.

With all that Britney Spears has been through she is looking for support from her family and close loved ones. It seems though that some of her ‘family’ have chosen to spend there time elsewhere. Spears’ father was seen playing golf with ex Kevin Federline Saturday in L.A.’s Tarzana.
Dressed in baggy shorts, the two were photographed driving around in a golf cart. Hopefully, the golf outing was good exercise for Federline.
