What do you do when you join American idol and lose?
You join a MUSICAL!
Like the many other Idol alums such as Clay Aiken, another American Idol contestant is set to hit the Great White Way (although, I’d like to think that this is the last option for most of them)
The long-haired rocker Ace Young will be part of the cast of Grease on September 9th.
According to reports, Ace is set to take on the role of Kenickie.
It may not be the career they wanted, but at least there’s somewhere for the former idols to go to!
If you’re a young female, chances are, Rihanna is one of your idols right now and you pretty much envy the life she lives. For Jordin Sparks, it’s not really all that different. The American Idol alum recently confessed to having a crush on Chris Brown but couldn’t pursue the crooner after she heard he was dating Rihanna. Jordin says “I didn’t know they were dating - they were doing the ‘just good friends’ thing in the media - and I thought ‘Oooh, maybe I have a chance’. But it’s not to be. They are a sweet couple.

The 18-year old American Idol champ performed her latest hit ‘One Step at a Time’. Before taking the stage, Jordin said “Having the people be here and lights, it’s like the city that never sleeps.

I’m good!’” Other performers include British singer Natasha Bedingfiled, country crooner Kenney Chesney and Gavin Degraw.
