Lauren Alaina of 'American Idol' release

The 16-year-old country and pop singer, who hails from Rossville, Georgia, also performed on ABC program "Good Morning America" on Tuesday, October 11, to promote the record.
"Up super early today for album release week!" Alaina Tweeted. "I love y'all! Thank you so much for everything you do for me. <3"
"Wildflower" includes the song "Like My Mother Does," which Alaina performed on the "American Idol" season finale in May, and "Eighteen Inches," which was co-written by season 4 winner and Grammy-winning country artist Carrie Underwood.
"Carrie Underwood has been a huge influence on who I am," The Hollywood Reporter quoted Alaina as saying. "She started out the same way I did, and she is someone that I look up to so much."
"The song reminds me of my friend Taylor who is married - her husband is going to college - and has a baby," Alaina added. "I give her so much credit for that. She made the best decision she could for her family, and I'm so proud of her. That song sounds like it was written about her and I just love it. It means a lot to me. And Carrie Underwood wrote it!"
Scotty McCreery, who beat Alaina to win "American Idol," released his debut album, "Clear As Day," o

Culture Film Real Steel Hugh Jackman: 'What are ya – a poof?'

Hugh Jackman: ‘I literally signed up for a tap class the day after my brother said sorry.’

The day before I am due to interview Hugh Jackman, the Australian actor drops a tantalising hint on Twitter. "Hey tweeters, I have something exciting to announce soon," he writes. "What could it be?" What indeed? I can't help but think back to the last time I met him, shortly before the release in 2006 of The Prestige. Christopher Nolan's thriller about two rival magicians (the other was Christian Bale) contains Jackman's richest screen performance to date: he reveals hidden torment behind the conjuror's curtain-calls-and-bouquets persona, one that he will know from his parallel career as a lead actor in musical theatre (an existence of which the majority of X-Men fans are probably oblivious).

2. Production year: 2011
3. Country: USA
4. Directors: Shawn Levy
5. Cast: Anthony Mackie, Hope Davis, Hugh Jackman
6. More on this film

The Prestige was a mystery wrapped in an enigma, then padlocked in a chest and dropped in the ocean. Some people think the same applies to Jackman. A friend took me aside and asked whether I really swallowed those "ordinary, boring family man" quotes fed to me by Jackman. Couldn't I see this was a classic cover story? Jackman has encountered such talk over the years, and always has a smiling riposte at the ready: "You really know you've made it when the gay rumours start."
