Reality TV Magazine - Scottsdale, AZ, USA - Seems American Idol season 3’s Jon Peter Lewis isn’t the only former Idol contestant who’ll be lacing up his hiking boots this summer at Idol Camp. He’ll have some help from other former Idols as well.

Last week, officials announced that Ace Young (season 5) and Bo Bice (season 4) will be on hand to mentor  and perform for the campers this year, alongside JPL. And there will be more big names to come (last year, campers were treated to a concert performance and instruction by R&B superstar, Macy Gray!).

Access Hollywood - USA - Christian Siriano is "auf" to a fierce start.

Just weeks after besting fellow "Project Runway" designers Jillian Lewis and Rami Kashou on the fourth season of Bravo's "Project Runway," Christian is already making headway in the world of fashion and entertainment.

The designer, who is known for his tight fashions, unique hair and a "fierce" catchphrase or two, has designed a Christian Siriano original for "American Idol" alum Kimberley Locke. The "Idol" Season Two contestant will wear his "fierce" creation during her upcoming appearance on "Idol," according to Style.com

While on "Project Runway," Christian had a second catchphrase – "tranny" — which he

StreetInsider.com (subscription) - Birmingham, MI, USA - When Trista and Ryan Sutter from ABC's "The Bachelor" decided to green their new baby's nursery, they called on Lisa and Ron Beres from GreenNest.com for help.

Washington Blade - Washington, DC, USA - As every fashion queen already knows, sassy Christian Siriano was crowned the winner of Bravo’s “Project Runway” — and he’s the youngest to ever take home the prize.

The 22-year-old’s run on the show was chronicled in his often whiny, frequently snippy and occasionally dead-on interview blurbs that peppered the otherwise tame fourth season of the show.

“I’m gonna die of barfness,” he said about the challenge that included deconstructing jeans and redesigning them into a new classic denim look.

“I’m not a miracle worker, lady. I can’t make you have an ass,” he told a client who had lost a lot of

Entertainment Weekly - USA - The statuesque beauty holding court in front of her studio audience on a recent January morning in New York City is ready for anything. And that's good, because Tyra Banks' fans do not hold back. Demands one woman, ''Is it true you moved your show to New York for a man?'' Banks, styled in a formfitting white dress, breezily rejects the claim that the relocation of her eponymous talk show — and her hit reality show, America's Next Top Model — has anything to do with her love life. The young crowd is primed with energy; hands shoot up and

BuddyTV - USA - She started out as a Fly Girl on In Living Color, and Carrie Ann Inaba now has started a new career as a reality star of Dance Wars and Dancing with the Stars. Throughout her different roles in the entertainment industry, she's had the opportunity to open doors and broaden perceptions about Asian-Americans, and she recently shared her perspective on this aspect of her career.

For one thing, it sounds like being a role model wasn't exactly her first expectation back when she did land that role on In Living Color, but she quickly learned based on the feedback from fans.

“I

BuddyTV - USA - We just noted that America's Next Top Model cycle 9 bad girl Bianca Golden was featured on the runway last Friday during the show for Project Runway designer Chris March. It was a surprise to some since she wasn't even in the final three.

However, the sassy America's Next Top Model alum seems to be taking the positive from her experience on the show, and rather than focus on how far she didn't get, she's instead looking at the reality experience as a way to open doors in the modeling industry. She recently talked about her future plans, and also about

OK! Magazine - New York, NY, USA - Dancing With the Stars' Maksim Chmerkovskiy knows how to whisk a woman off her feet. This month, he'll be whisking a whole 'lot of women — specifically those of ABC's All My Children — off their feet when he makes his daytime soap debut!

Playing himself, the 28-year-old pro will teach the ladies of Fusin Cosmetics — owned by Kendall Hart (Alicia Minshew) — about the seductive art of pole dancing. Troubled Annie Lavery (Melissa Claire Egan) hopes to pick up a few moves to arouse the interest of her husband, Ryan Lavery (DWTS alum Cameron Mathison), who is currently suffering

BuddyTV - USA - Joey Fatone has had to be pretty coordinated in a variety of very different venues. As a boy bander during his time as a member of ‘N Sync, he had to master hip-hop and pop-influenced moves. As a Brodway actor in Rent and Little Shop of Horrors, he had to learn the blocking involved with modern musical theater. And as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, he had to learn the steps of ballroom and Latin dancing.

Now, for his 31st birthday, he had the chance to learn a new move: floating in “space.”
