Taylor Hicks' New Gig -- at a Housing Development!

Taylor HicksIt's been 16 months since Taylor Hicks won "American Idol" -- and he's really going places -- like the opening of an Alabama housing development!

On the weekend of Oct. 26, people who have purchased land in the The Oaks development in Lake Guntersville will enjoy "an intimate dinner with Taylor Hicks and several other celebrities TBA." Plots of lakefront property start at the whopping price of $49,900! On top of seeing the graying, soon-to-be 31-year-old (who himself owns land in the area), guests will enjoy, "complementary [sic] food, boat rides, bass fishing and more." Soul Patrol!

Poor Season 5 runner-up Kat McPhee will just have to be content making movies!

61. Mr. Hater,

If you don't like living in America, go back to you damn country!

62. What is up with all the hostility?!

I think Taylor Hicks is a cutie with a good voice, but whatever, he's certainly not worth all the anger some people seem to feel. Its beyond absurd.

I wish him luck in his new home and career - and hope he makes a video soon!

63. Your comment concerning the lake front lots selling for a whopping $49,000 could be correct, haven't checked it out yet. I sold my 400' x 88' lakefront lot for $80,000, made a clear profit of $70,000 because I only paid $10,000 for it when it first became available years ago. Also, I have a 38 acre farm that includes a 18,000 square ft. house, pastures for my horses, riding trails for my ATV, along with a huge swimming pool in my backyard. My yearly property taxes are approximately a WHOPPING $300 annually. Oh, and my farm is only about three miles from the lake, where I can launch my boat anytime I want to. Don't pity Taylor Hicks or any of the rest of the folks that live in Alabama. Unlike California, we have it made here. That's the reason we southerners don't mind being steretyped by TMZ and the media YA'LL, it makes us seem less appealing and keeps the undesirables from moving here.

64. He dances like a hunched over confused monkey looking for the dingle berry he just picked out of his ass.

65. your editors are wrong: the spelling of complementary ["sic" ] is actually correct in the context of 'free'. complimentary would be the correct spelling for 'giving a compliment'.
you're welcome!

66. $49,000.00 ??? That made me laugh out loud!! That isn't even the interest on the downpayment for anything in Calif.

Yet you're advertising how wonderful it is to live there.

Sounds like a great place to live, guess I'll move there! Ohhhh, you'll LOVE me as your neighbor.

Unreal.

70. First off I do apologise to all you southerners for making such broad statements. I mean that sincerely. I do realize that racism is everywhere. I went off because of my first hand experience! I felt very uncomfortable and very scared by the things that were said to me. And don't forget I'm half white to top it all off. Throwing insults back and forth does nothing to help the situation. Peace!

Wanna know something - I think you (and the rest of the population in good ole' California) are getting screwed, BIG TIME. ROTF, and LMAO

73. How many people reading this know what "[sic]" indicates? How many of those don't know why it's there?

FYI - "complementary" should be "complimentary" Still don't get it?

Thanks TMZ. I suspected a lot of your subtle humor was intentional, but it's nice to know it for sure.

74. >>>Mr. Hater,

>>>If you don't like living in America, go back to you damn country!

Ahh, the typical reply from someone who would rather live in ignorance than improve his or her own country. You have no idea how often us 'foreigners' hear idiots like you say this when we criticize your country's flaws. Is that the only defense you have? Can't you just say, "Yeah, the political system here is really corrupt" or something adult-like? No wonder very little has changed.

If you'd read my message, you'd have learned a couple of things. An important fact that you apparently missed or couldn't deduce is that I don't live in America.

I don't hate America. I don't even hate southerners. But I -do- hate anybody that lives in la-la land and can't acknowledge criticism of other people or doesn't want to hear it. Turn on the TV and watch Sesame Street if you can't or won't hear it.

75. TMZ really comes from the pits of HELL. Why don"t you discuss his very successful tour and his Kids One charity., his two independent albums which have sold very well and his hard work since he won American Idol. He has an interest in this lakefront property which he purchased three waterfront lots for $199,000 each and he wants to make sure that lowlifes like TMZ employees and owner do not invade this private setting. The state of Alabama does not want people without morals or conscious traveling through their state much less buying property here. TMZ is the Anna Nicole Smith of journalism.
