Rita's interview with Ruben is up at msn.com. It's part of a 12:46 minute video, mostly covering AI5. It is very a good interview. I've never heard him talk that much. Ruben starts talking at just before the 6 minute mark. You can drag the bar thingy across to that part if you want to skip the other part. He is on again towards the end.

Ruben's CD "The Return" debuted at #8 last week and his single, "Change Me" is currently #2 on the Urban Adult charts. I heard it last week on a "Quiet Storm" kind of show and it's really a good song. It was good to hear him again.

Ruben Studdard to Star in Alabama Diet Campaign

TUESDAY DECEMBER 19, 2006 05:00 PM EST

By Stephen M. Silverman

American Idol winner Ruben Studdard wants those in his home state of Alabama to follow in his footsteps, now that he is nearly 100 lbs. lighter.

The 28-year-old "Velvet Teddy Bear" whose third album, The Return, was released in October is asking the 25 percent of Alabama's overweight residents to shed 10 pounds in eight weeks. Should the "Scale Back Alabama" 8-week plan work, the state will lose a total of 10 million lbs.

"I'm not where I want to be, but I'm on the right track, and I'm excited about encouraging other Alabamians to begin their own weight-loss journeys, the Idol winner, whose own weight-loss success was based on a regimen of diet and exercise, told the Associated Press.

The crooner also said he saw the importance of getting into shape "because I have a family history of diabetes and high blood pressure and things of that nature."

The state-wide campaign, sponsored by Alabama's hospitals, the Alabama Department of Public Health and Barber Diaries, is due to kick off Jan. 4 with an event starring Studdard.

"I felt like it was necessary for me to combat those issues at a young age before it became a bigger issue," he said. "I went to this place called Duke Diet & Fitness Center for a month and learned how to change my eating habits."

ooh, ooh, ooh ... this is so awesome!!!

Controversy may have gotten Frenchie Davis booted off of American Idol, but it landed her in a successful Broadway career. Soon, Season 2 champ Ruben "Velvet Teddy Bear" Studdard will be joining her onstage. "I'm so excited," Davis tells TV Guide. "I can't say too much, but we're doing a revival of a Broadway show."

Studdard, who has been touring with Robin Givens in the play Heaven, I Need a Hug, may have tipped his hand during an interview with The Atlanta Constitution when he said he's been prepping to play Fats Walker in a tour of Ain't Misbehavin'.

Davis, who just finished a four-year run in Rent, wasn't surprised to learn of her former cast mate tackling theater. "He's so talented," she says. "This role is going to be good for him." Will the part pit the two as love interests? "It depends on how they direct it...," she says coyly. Reporting by Bekah Wright

Best wishes to them. Ruben always came across as a great man, love his smile.

I always wondered why his career never took off like some of the other idols. A few years back I was amazed that he was singing at a local fair with free admission.

Eh, I have had poor cousins with large weddings like that up north, as well. People just want what they want. Congratulations to Ruben, he looks so happy as he starts a new chapter in his life. Best wishes to both of them.

Ruben has a new cd out, and the song that I hear on the radio from it is very, very nice ... vintage Ruben. He'll also be on the TJMS tomorrow morning.

Ruben is going on tour along with a sickle cell program. He will be unveiling a new song = "I am a fighter" for the cause.

"“I’m making several appearances across the country on behalf of the program, and I have penned an original song, titled ‘I Am a Fighter’ that I hope will become the anthem for those participating in Be Sickle Smart,” Studdard said. “My intention with the song is to inspire people with SCD to keep fighting and to take action for their health through education.”"
