Katrina Darrell: From American Idol to Playboy Bunny?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,

American Idol is the most popular reality show in the country, and every year it’s mission is to find stars. Not everyone can sing well enough for the show - but sometimes, even that doesn’t matter. Katrina Darrell was featured heavily during her auditions for the show…and it all started when she wore her bikini.

The Idol judges (and viewing audience) weren’t the only ones who took notice when Darrell strutted in with her high heels and skimpy suit. Though the singer was ousted from the singing competition, Darrell could still have a very bright future in the entertainment industry.

“Of course, Playboy has called,” Darrell recently told reporters, saying she’s had “a lot of different offers” since being eliminated from the show.

“I wouldn’t say no, but at the same time I don’t want to stunt my career by jumping into that too soon and be labeled, once again, as just a body. But I don’t knock it,” Katrina the Bikini Girl said of the Playboy possibility.

Darrell’s Idol dreams were shattered after group night, an audition round that was marked by drama for the Bikini Girl. “I’m not in a girl group; I’m a solo artist,” Darrell said of the experience.

American Idol 8: The Beginning of Hollywood

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,

Out of many thousands, American Idol 8 chose just one hundred and forty-seven to go to Hollywood. As Simon Cowell told them at the start of the auditions, “all we’re looking for…is a star.”

Indeed.

This year, the show sent each hopeful to an intensive singing “boot camp” where they rehearsed with vocal coaches. Surprise mentor Barry Manilow showed up to offer his advice and encouragement. The one who wrote the songs told each Idol hopeful to prepare well and make each tune their own.

And thus, the first day at the opulent Kodak Theater began.
