Things have been a little crazy lately and I apologize for the delay in the blog.

As you know I have recently become a residence of the wonderful NYC. I absolutely love it here! Lot's of places to go and interesting people to see, but my favorite thing is the variety of restaurants. One of my favorite places to eat a nice Italian meal is Trattoria Del Arte on 57th and 7th. The veal, the tuna and boy the anti pasta...all amazing! My favorite dish...Tordelli Bolognese....This dish is a home run!!! The perfect portion! Yeah you can tell that I love this place....maybe I will go there for lunch....hmmmm.

No I can't today because I have to pack for my travels tomorrow. Where am I going? Well if you don't know, I am going to Palm Desert for a Lane Bryant appearance and then to Fox Hills for another appearance on Sunday (both in California). So check my schedule and I hope to see some of you there! While I am in California I will be stopping over in LA to do a bunch of Idol press for the week. I will definitely be exhausted. I know for sure that I will be doing a huge press conference with Fox Radio. So keep your ears peeled for an interview from me. Then at some point (I think Monday) I will be on the TV Guide Channel. Of course I will be talking about Idol but I will also be talking about the NEW ALBUM! I'm also going to have dinner with Carmen (from Idol) who I haven't seen forever!

So I know that you all can not wait for this album to drop....right? I can't either. I am very very very excited!!! I have to tell you it should be hitting you radio air waves in less that two weeks. So get ready.

What else can I tell you about? OH, the new MTV show? I was actually on TRL doing an interview about this the other day. I can't really talk about it much but keep a watch out for this too. Can you believe it I am going to be on an MTV show. (So cool!) I will definitely keep you posted with more information as it comes in.

I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend and I wish you many more. My mother came to NY for the weekend and we had a blast! She really likes NY. We had a spa day, a wonderful dinner, and a show. The NY experience.

Well I am going for now. I have not forgotten about your questions, I actually have a list of them already answered and a few more to go. I am going to post them separately all at once. So look for those soon.
