Justin Guarini's Life Post-Flop
by Daniel R. Coleridge with Deborah Starr Seibel

Poor Justin Guarini. The runner-up to American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson hasn't had an easy time of it. Just think of the endless hair jokes. And the unflattering comparisons to Clay Aiken, that other AI runner-up who made good. Don't forget his box-office bomb, From Justin to Kelly, and the self-titled debut CD that flopped. Still, life's not so bad for Guarini.

Seriously, look on the bright side: He's not a barista at Starbucks yet. The 25-year-old says he's "amassed enough finances" that he doesn't have to work on stuff he's not interested in. Guarini hosted VH1's Top 20 Countdown in May and guest stars as himself in an upcoming episode of Fox's new nighttime soap, North Shore. "It was rather easy and fun," he says. "I played myself as a hotel guest. I got to say a few lines — the rest of the time was a vacation on the beach in Hawaii. And I got to spend time socializing with Brooke Burns. That's why I love television."

Guarini's also waiting to hear if he snagged the role of Che in Hal Prince's national touring company of Evita. "He's the lead guy," enthuses. "That was Antonio Banderas' part [on Broadway]." And if you think auditioning for the part made him nervous, you'd be mistaken. "If I can get through millions of people watching me every night and deciding my fate," he says, "I think I can get through this. American Idol was a little nerve-wracking, but the rest is just fun."

The CD's failure had to hurt though. He was dropped by record label RCA after Justin Guarini sold less than 200,000 copies. "That's just life," he shrugs. "Records take a long time to put together. The main problem with my last record is that we didn't take the time that it needed to really find the correct songs and to develop the correct steam. To be perfectly honest, I'm pursuing my dream elsewhere."

Yes, Guarini does plan to put out a second album. "I'm gonna get that off the ground about a year from now," he says. "I'm talking to a couple of labels and some songwriters. I'm thankful that people still care [about me] after two years. That really warms my heart."

This morning I was listening to my local radio station and Tamyra Gray was next door warming up for her concert for the station (I guess the AI III tour is in Dallas tonight but it sure hasn't gotten much publicity). She sounded amazing even at 8 am!

Judge's books
Well looks like these judges of talent are not judges of literature.
Simon Cowell's book sodl under 50,000 and Randy's book did not even make it into 5 figures.
Just thought that was humerous. Guess most people don't want to learn how to please these people - Maybe they don't thnk it will help them in life?

In case anybody is interested, they are re-running season 1 with a twist right now. I didn't even know about it until last night.

It's not exactly re-runs. They show never before scenes and put the show together a little differently. Episodes 1 and 2 will be on a few times this Saturday into Sunday morning on both Fox and WGN.

I had never seen season 1, so I will be tuning in.

I caught this Saturday night and thought it would be a recap of season 1, but it was just an hour of auditions and the only familiar face was Ryan Starr. I was wondering if it would be on each week. I'm thrilled to hear it will be. I hope they do the same for season 2!

That looks very interesting. I didn't see Season 1 (though I did see the recap DVD).

I caught "American Idol Rewind" tonight Oct 21st for the first time. Liked it, interesting seeing the audition process for some like RJHelton that we never got to see before. However, they kept teasing us with "new 2006 interviews from those seen on the show tonight"--way too long to wait and too little of the interviews, just a scant few minutes at the end (I had about decided the show was going to run another 1/2 hour). If they're going to promote the interviews, why not really SHOW the interviews, not just a few soundbites!!!! Because of that, I may not tune in again....
