All Campus Idol

Presented by the Blair Beinhaker Friendship Foundation
Capitol Theater, Overture Center: 7 – 9 p.m.

Soulful bellowing? We got that. High notes? For sure. A fellow students’ rendition of “Man, I Feel Like a Woman”? We hope not, but we’re not making any promises.

Ten contestants will compete, but only one will walk away with twice as many Facebook friends…

This will be a little different than the American Idol from TV. The MadHatters will be there to keep it classy and unlike the television show, all our judges giving feedback will be sober and Ryan Seacrest isn’t invited. Our contestants may not be famous singers quite yet—but it’s not like you’re Simon Cowell, so it works out. After the show you control the destiny of 10 other people when you text in your vote; enjoy the two-minute power trip.

The winner will open for a nationally recognized artist at the Blowout Concert! So, if you belong on the stage and not in the audience, audition to perform and bring down the house with your talent! Maybe your pickup broke down and your huntin’ dog died. Write a country song about it and sing at All-Campus Idol. The potential is limitless…

Audition information and registration is available here. (Auditions are over).

Muhammed Ali Fights For Charity

Boxing legend Muhammed Ali has raised over $52 million through the efforts of his Celebrity Fight Night event for various charities. And with performances from Reba McEntyre, Jon Bon Jovi and various celebrity auctions,  you can see why it’s a hot ticket.

I love Reba McEntyre. It’s because she’s a survivor, with gentle hands and the heart of a fighter. That, and I’m pretty sure she’s part elf, which is awesome.

I’m glad Michael Phelps was able to put down the bong long enough to make it to the event. Ha! I’m only teasing! Besides, there’s nothing I could say to him that Reba hasn’t already lectured him about. She loves her kids and never stops.

Gallery Info: Muhammad Ali, Jordin Sparks, Michael Phelps, Kurt Warner, David Foster, Michael Johns, Jon Bon Jovi, Forest Whitaker, Keisha Whitaker, Reba McEntyre, John Elway, Steve Young, Josh Groban, Frankie Muniz, Bo Derek and John Corbett at Muhammad Ali’s Celebrity Fight Night XV.

This weekend, the stars came out for Muhammad Ali’s Celebrity Fight Night for an evening filled with Live Auction items and live musical performances by some amazing artists. American Idol winner, Jordin Sparks, and finalist, Michael Johns, were among the celebrities who were asked to perform at the charity event which was held at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa in Arizona.

In the time since Celebrity Fight Night began 14 years old, the event has managed to raise over $52 million, with the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center at Barrow Neurological Institute as the primary beneficiary along with numerous other charities. It sounds like a great event!

Michael Johns Talks About His New Album In OK! Magazine

Here’s the latest interview with Michael Johns talking about his debut album “Hold Back My Heart”, which is to be released sometime this year. His first single “Heart On My Sleeve” will be out soon, rumored to be just weeks away. The following article from OK! Magazine even speaks briefly about Michael Johns summer tour.

Idol's Michael Johns To Release Album

Michael Johns was widely considered to be the most shocking early elimination in the last season of American Idol.

Fans adored him, and even cold-hearted Simon Cowell said he'd miss the hunky Australian rocker after his untimely departure.
But now he's back, and it sounds like his premature eviction hasn't done him too much harm after all.

In fact, OK! has learned that his first post-Idol album, Hold Back My Heart, is set for release on Downtown records in June.

“It’s a rock and soul record,” he told us at a private Seal concert at the W Hotel in Westwood March 24.

"We stripped it down so that it sounds like Otis Redding," the Australian said.

"I was bummed at the time when I got kicked off Idol, but now I’m just so happy," he said. "My wife and I are doing well [now that Idol is over]."

Expect Johns to take his band on the road this summer for at least a few promotional dates. First off, the singer will appear this weekend at the Fight Night event in Phoenix, Arizona alongside featuring Jon Bon Jovi, Muhammad Ali, Michael Phelps and Reba McEntire. Tickets start at $1500 for the charity event
