Looks like Ruben Studdard is pulling a Kim Kardashian (well not exactly) as he filed for divorce from his wife of three years.
Studdard, who won season two of 'American Idol' back in 2003, filed for divorce from his wife, Surata Zuri McCants. Studdard cited “irreconcilable differences,” according to E! News, on the divorce petition.
“Ruben and Zuri have gone their separate ways,” his publicist Jocelyn R. Coleman told E! News.
The couple first met in 2006 at a Wal-Mart in Atlanta where Studdard was signing copies of his third album, “The Return,” according to BET. People magazine reported back in 2008 that Studdard was “struck by her beauty” and followed McCants to obtain her phone number.
Studdard and McCants wed in his hometown Birmingham in June 2008. The wedding ceremony, held at the Canterbury United Methodist Church, was lavish with 20 groomsmen in the wedding party.
His most recent album and the fourth during his career was released in 2009, entitled, “Love Is.”
Nicknamed the “Velvet Teddy Bear,” Ruben Studdard currently is working with Shanachie Entertainment on his fifth album, which will be released next fall, according to USA Today.
Ruben Studdard Files for Divorce from Wife
Kellie Pickler was the loveable and charismatic contestant on the fifth season of American Idol who went on to sell millions of albums and appear on many high profile television shows (like the View). now, fans get to see their favorite blonde beauty in action again – this time on the hit TV series 90210.
Pickler will play the character of Sally – a friend of Austin’s who plans to participate in the school’s talent show. Kellie will obviously be showing off her vocal skills on the show in an effort to win her character a luxurious vacation – something Annalynne McCord’s character Naomi is not impressed with.
Kellie has been off the map for a little while now – taking some time to enjoy newlywed life with her new husband Kyle Jacobs.
Personally, I couldn’t be happier to see Kellie back on TV.
Here’s hoping she scores her own reality show (or talk show) sometime in the near future.
Are you excited to see Kellie on 90210?
Here’s the sneak peek below:
Check out the original source here.
… was just given a record deal by none other than the producers of American Idol? Isn't that just a little too convenient?
well they all loved her so much and they felt truly bad that she didnt make it cuz she was in my opinion the most talented there. so i guess they just gave it to her. she deserved it!!
Not really. I'm glad she got a record deal though. She was the best singer there!
Does it seem a bit too contrived that Pia Toscano ….?
From American Idol season 9. he said a few weeks ago that he got into some trouble when he was younger. I really like him and just curious.
He is REALLY good. If you haven't heard him, you need to check him out. he is a teenage version of Josh Turner. very good. Do you like him?

What do you think of that country guy Scotty McCreery on American Idol?
Nicole Scherzinger has turned up at American Idol showing a lot of skin backstage in a daring white outfit showing off her toned figure and cleavage.
Despite Nicole being confirmed as a judge on American X Factor she appeared on the rival show wearing the eye-catching outfit.
The Pussycat Dolls singer wore a strange dress, although we hesitate to call it a dress it was more like a skirt sort of attached to a crop top, with feathers on the shoulder.
Nicole caught Simon Cowell’s eye when she filled in for Cheryl Cole in last year’s British X Factor. She was a hit on the show and as a result Simon asked her to appear on the new American version of the show. however, Nicole has admitted that she was a little concerned that the role would impact on her singing career.
“I was really excited but I had my own reservations just because I came out with my album Killer Love and my music is number one to me.
“I just want to get it out there so I wanted to make sure it wouldn’t get in the way of promoting the music.”
