Life After "Idol" Is a Rocky Road
Season 6 "A.I." wannabeens Melinda Doolittle and Chris Richardson ('memba them?) are realizing that life post-"Idol" can be cold -- ice cream cold!
With their music careers frozen, Melinda and Chris are making ends meet by shilling ice cream as part of a Dreyer's ice cream national promotional tour -- at Vons, Stop & Shop and Winn-Dixie! "Idol" loser in aisle three!
Kristy Lee and Ramiele need not worry about their future -- somewhere there's a Safeway (or a local balloon festival, outlet mall or housing development) waiting for them!

Melinda Doolittle -- Before She Got Screwed
TMZ has obtained exclusive photos of robbed "American Idol" Melinda Doolittle -- from when she was just a grade-schooler!
These candid photos were taken at the birthday party of one of her closest friends ... then. TMZ also has the wrongly-canned Idol's elementary school class photo (above). Doolittle attended a Christian school, and we're told that she and her mom were very religious.
The old friend told TMZ that Melinda was as genuine then as she appeared to be on the show. "She is such a sweet girl, we spent most of our time playing double dutch together."
Watch for Melinda's career to surpass this year's actual Idol winner, probably Jordin.

Signs Say Melinda Will Win "Idol"
The winner of "American Idol" won't be known for another week, but all astrological signs are pointing toward Taylor Hicks' crown going to Melinda Doolittle. Ya sure ya want it?
Despite the fact that there are two published birthdates for Melinda, Jeff Jawker of AOL Horoscopes says she's the only contestant with any "positive planetary action" on finale night, May 24. Jawker adds, "She's the astrological choice to win." And the vocal one too!
Unfortunately, for Cancer sign Blake Lewis, his planetary support comes May 26 -- two days too late! Jawker thinks he may have to settle for a record deal without an "Idol" champ moniker. Oh, for the love of Guarini, Bice and McPhee!
Jailbait crooner Jordin Sparks may be just 17, but like Capricorns, "persistence and ability to learn as they go make them powerful finishers." So is there still hope for the mature teen to come out on top? Jawker believes "if sheer planetary force is the key to success," Jordin could snatch the title from Melinda's humble hands. Use it or lose it, sister!
But in the end, the AOL stars say: "The winner will be Melinda barely ahead of Jordin, with Blake coming in third." Find out who comes in third tonight, when the latest "Idol" loser is revealed.

"Idol" -- The Dish On Tonight's Dresses
Screw the singing, we know why you'll really be watching "Idol" tonight... the fashion! (Paging Sanjaya's flat iron!)
Now only TMZ can show you exactly what the girls will be wearing tonight!
Not the most fashionable of the bunch, Melinda Doolittle is hoping to pump up the votes in a V neck short (and we mean short) sleeve dress by T-Bags. For the love of Haley Scarnato, unless she's trying to get a leg up on the competition, we hope imagine she'll be wearing this $165 number over pants or leggings.
As arguably the most marketable of the trio, Jordin Sparks will squeeze her curves into a sexy blue Twister halter by LaROK. The $168 slinky frock comes with double straps in the front -- girl needs all the support she can get!
Should you want to dress like an "Idol" reject, starstyle.com will be selling the frocks starting tonight at 8:00 PM EST. But act fast! A few weeks ago, Jordin's Nicole Miller gown sold out prior to the West Coast airing and left thousands of prom-going teens in tears!
