"After last week's red carpet reception for 'Destination Fame,' it might be time to change Bayonne's nickname from 'Peninsula City' to 'Hollywood East'...The night's most recognizable celebrity, hands down, was Joseph Jackson - father of superstar icons Michael and Janet Jackson. Jackson, making his big screen debut, plays a music promoter...A.J. Gil, a singer who finished in eighth place on the first season of the popular "American Idol" show, assumes the movie's lead role as Chris, a teen forced to grow up fast while mulling over gut-wrenching decisions."

"A cloudy and cold day at the Seahawks Stadium had the audience of yesterday's "Big Freakin' Deal" concert wondering whether they might be warmer in Seattle's new mass-transit system...Earlier in the day, A.J. Gil of TV's 'American Idol' got the day off by singing a high-noted national anthem...Hanging out backstage, A.J. Gil summed it up: 'I really like the new stadium. It has great acoustics.' The debut concert was a smash, but for the sake of future events, let's hope it never rains in Seattle."
