I am in Toronto, shooting a movie for NBC.
'American Idol' has taken over my whole life.
It is my job to make sure that these kids who are talented get every chance they can and not to be passed over; this is life or death for them.
If they're singing about heartbreak, they've lived it.
I'm working toward a CD that will have all of you dancing like crazy.
The more auditions you go on, the more you will learn not to take it personally.
The cool part of being an entertainer is getting the opportunity to get your feet wet in all areas.
You're the kiss that puts my soul at ease.
I feel blessed to have as many comebacks as I can.
You end up becoming who you are by jumping into that circle of fear - that's how it's done.
I believe inner beauty is beauty in its truest form. When we nurture ourselves, it brings an inevitable, positive transformation.
There are three things I commit to on a daily basis: Exercising for an hour a day, tops. Never skipping meals. And accepting the size and shape I was born with.
I had my first kiss under a tree near the school. It was with a boy named Michael who rarely spoke, but he would sometimes give me one of the cookies from his lunch. Maybe it was the gifts that made me feel special? I don't know, but when our lips touched, it felt magical.
I love doing what I do. I'm a born mentor. I've launched so many people's careers. I worked hard.
