With the 9th season of American Idol coming to an end, which is also Simon Cowell‘s last ever episode, Forbes decided to come up with a list of the top earning Idol alums over the past year. A sign of how much the record industry is going down is that when David Cook first won the competition he made $2 million that year while last years winner Kris Allen made a mere $672,000 in comparison during his first year. Lets get to the list shall we…
10. Kris Allen, $672,000
The Arkansas native gained traction with Idol fans with his acoustic version of Kanye West’s Heartless. He engineered a stunning upset over Adam Lambert last year. He signed with Jive Records and released a self-titled album that reached No. 11 on the Billboard 200. He’s been performing in Las Vegas and touring nationally.
09. Clay Aiken, $800,000
The Raleigh, N.C., native maintains a loyal following six years after finishing second on Idol. He has sold 4 million albums and penned a New York Times best-selling memoir. Aiken recently finished a run in Broadway’s Spamalot.
08. David Archuleta, $1.4 million
Defeated in the seventh season by David Cook, Archuleta went on to release a self-titled album on Jive records that reached No. 2 on the Billboard charts. He has played more than 100 live shows since Idol. Twitter followers: 372,000.
07. Jordin Sparks, $1.8 million
Entering Idol competition at age 17, Sparks was the youngest winner in the show’s history. The season six winner broke out with No Air, a duet with R&B vocalist Chris Brown. She has toured with Alicia Keyes and the Jonas Brothers. Sparks’ second album, Battlefield, debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard charts.
06. Jennifer Hudson, $2 million
Hudson ranks lower this year, falling from No. 2 on the 2009 list, due to slowing album sales and a light touring schedule. Yet she remains one of the most successful Idol alums. She placed just seventh in the third season but went on to win an Oscar in 2006 for her role in Dreamgirls. Her 2008 self-titled album, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, has sold over 750,000 copies. Earlier this year she signed on as the latest spokeswoman for Weight Watchers.
05. David Cook, $2.3 million
Three years ago David Cook was tending bar in Tulsa, Okla. After winning Idol’s seventh season in 2008, his first single, The Time of My Life, debuted at No. 3 on Billboard’s Hot 100, followed by a debut album, David Cook, which went platinum. He continues a lucrative endorsement deal with Skechers shoes.
04. Kellie Pickler, $4.3 million
Pickler was one of the hardest working Idol alums this past year, working a 100-date concert schedule. The season five finalist has sold 1.3 million records, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
03. Chris Daughtry, $5.4 million
After playing with a series of bar bands traveling around North Carolina, Daughtry made it to Idol’s final four in the fifth season. Since leaving the show he has sold 5.7 million copies of his two albums: a Grammy-nominated self-titled debut in 2006 and Leave This Town, released last year. Followers on Twitter: 159,000.
02. Carrie Underwood, $7 million
The Muskogee, Okla.-born country pop singer has won four Grammys, 14 Billboard Music Awards and five American Music Awards. Underwood has sold 9.6 million albums.
01. Kelly Clarkson, $8 million
Idol’s first winner also happens to be the show’s highest-selling alum. Since season one, Clarkson has sold 10.6 million albums (along with 16.1 million digital tracks, according to Nielsen SoundScan). Her latest single, Already Gone, hit No. 3 on Billboard charts. Currently touring in New Zealand, she’ll play the Lilith Fair music festival this month. Clarkson, 28, is now working on her fifth album.
I was surprised that Adam Lambert didn’t make the list seeing as how his album sold more than Allen’s, but apparently he hasn’t gone on tour yet which is where artists make their money from ticket sales and merchandising – not from record sales. I wasn’t surprised at all with the top 2, Kelly Clarkson is the only American Idol to make a name for herself worldwide so she will forever be the most successful Idol album.

Tabloid Prodigy linked with Freaks N’ Links
Simon Cowell was on Oprah Winfrey‘s show yesterday to talk candidly about himself and his life.
Cowell, 50, spoke about his romance with American Idol make-up artist Mezhgan Hussainy, who escaped Afghanistan with her family in 1981 after the Soviet invasion and the rise of the Taliban forced her family to flee. He also admitted that he suffers from depression.
“I get very, very down,” Cowell said. “Pretty much depression. (But) what I always say is, “You’re taking yourself too seriously, so stop it.
“At the same time, you should never put a painted smile on. When you’re feeling down, you’re feeling down.”
He also discussed his reason for leaving American Idol, saying that after eight years he was bored, and was looking forward to launching his show X-Factor in the US.
Then Oprah pulled out some pictures.
After seeing this picture taken sometime in the Eighties, Simon said:
“It’s not a great look, is it? God, I had a mustache. And I wasn’t even a mechanic!”

Allie Is Wired linked with A Tale Of Two Toes & The Hot Links!
Not all celebrities had an easy life and just grew up with money or famous parents, here is a list of some of them who worked normal jobs just like us normal folk:
Megan Fox
It seems almost sinful to cover up her gorgeous figure, but Megan Fox used to wear a banana suit when she worked for a smoothie shop. That’s right. She dressed up as a banana. We wonder if she can stand to eat the fruit anymore?
Madonna
It’s hard to imagine Madge as anything other than an all-singing, all-dancing, all-controversial superstar, but she once worked at Dunkin’ Donuts. Looking at her physique now, we can assume she hasn’t revisted her old workplace for a very long time…
Brad Pitt
Brad’s pre-fame job might be our favourite: the hunky actor used to dress up as a giant chicken to promote a restaurant to earn cash. Thankfully he soon realised he’d have a better career when not dressed up as poultry.
Johnny Depp
We’d buy anything if Johnny tried to sell it to us, so he’d probably be a retail manager’s dream. But before he became famous for his superb acting, floppy hair and chiselled cheekbones, he sold pens over the phone. Thankfully, he landed a part in the 80s horror movie “Nightmare On Elm Street” soon after, and the rest is Hollywood history.
Beyonce
She has one of the best hairstyles in Celeb-land, but did you know Beyoncé used to sweep up hair too? Before the days of international superstardom and her Sasha Fierce alter ego, Beyoncé would sweep other peoples’ locks off the floor of her mum’s beauty salon. (insert hair joke here)
Simon Cowell
He’s one of the most judgmental people in the industry, so it’s quite a treat to learn he started his career working in a humble post room at EMI. The Cowell is living proof that the post boy CAN become an internationally famous, mega-rich music mogul.
Eve Mendes
If you ever see Eva Mendes looking in horror at a hotdog, it’s probably because she used to spend her days working at the popular American fast-food joint Hot Dog On A Stick. We’d love to see a picture of her wearing the ghastly blue and yellow uniform, even though she’d no doubt still look drop-dead gorgeous in it.
Ashton Kutcher
The “Punk’d” star had to make ends meet while studying at college by sweeping up cereal off the floor at a General Mills factory and, when times got really hard, he even sold his blood. It’s safe to say, with a successful acting career under his belt and hotter than hot wife Demi Moore on his arm, he won’t ever have to sweep up old cereal ever again. And he’ll probably get to keep his blood too.
Rod Stewert
He might have one of the most successful music careers ever, but before Rod achieved international fame as a crooner, he had a slightly spooky profession: digging graves. If digging holes in the ground can aid you on your path to superstardom, however, hand over the spade!
Orlando Bloom
Brit actor Orlando Bloom used to be a clay trapper. It sounds strange, doesn’t it? However, it’s not a weird and wonderful occupation that would be more suited in Middle Earth, but rather a simple job to aid those who enjoy clay pigeon shooting. “You’d have these gentlemen who’d go shooting and I’d pull back the arm on a clay trap machine,” he explains.
Pink
We’d love to walk into a McDonald’s restaurant and see Pink working there. In fact, if we went into one several years ago, we might have done. Before she hit the big time back in 2000, she had no shame in serving up Big Macs and and french fries to fast-food lovers. She also had the lovely job of cleaning the loos. Nice!
Cheryl Cole
Our Cheryl is a million miles away from her former life. Before she appeared on the UK TV show “Popstars: The Rivals” and landed the job as one-fifth of Girls Aloud, she was working as a waitress in a restaurant. It’s safe to say she’ll probably never have to wait tables ever again, unless she ever decides to go on “Celebrity Come Dine With Me.”

Paula Abdul will be taking her vicodin party to “Star Search”, it has been announced.
After getting the axe from “American Idol”, Paula and whatever is in her Coke cup is heading to ABC for a “Star Search” reboot.
Paula is in the process of finalizing a deal to headline an updated version of the hit show for ABC. Reportedly, her role will be a combination of hosting and judging the new talent competition. Just when you think that she’s holding on for some “X Factor” hope, she signs up for this. Which is basically the same idea wrapped up in a different name….
The network was said to be wooing Paula ever since she announced her departure from “Idol”. After her departure, it was rumored that she would be taking part in “Dancing With The Stars”, but nothing ever came from that.
What do you think of Paula’s new job? Think it’s a wise career move? Or should she have held out for the bigger bucks working with Simon Cowell?

Cheryl Cole has confirmed that she is finally separating the British version of Tiger Woods, also known as Ashley Cole, after allegations that he has cheated on her with 5 women have come out.
If you don’t know who they are.. Cheryl is a popstar and judge on The X Factor (she is also very very hot), it is rumored that Simon Cowell wants to make her a judge on the US version of the show, and Ashley is a soccer player for Chelsea Football Club.
The couple who have been married since July 2006 have had quite a rough marriage, in 2008 a hairdresser came forward and said that she had slept with the footballer. Like most women do she took him back and tried to get on with her life after a break, well over the past couple of weeks 4 more women have come forward and said they too have had affairs with him.
She then flew to Los Angeles to do some work and get a break, then it was rumored that she sent him a text message saying she is divorcing his ass and he should get out of their house. He was spotted leaving the house earlier today and she arrived back in London and drove straight to their home to confirm a statement. Then her pr company released the following statement saying…
“Cheryl Cole is separating from her husband Ashley Cole. Cheryl asks the media to respect her privacy during this difficult time. We have no further comment to make.”
Cheryl’s bandmates, if you didn’t know she’s in Girls Aloud, have released a statement saying that they will not be speaking on the matter. Simon Cowell has yet to comment on the situation either but everybody wants to know what he thinks.
While this is just a separation it is suspected that they will get divorced, if this happens then the divorce would be worth about £25 million. I don’t know how anybody could cheat on someone like Cheryl Cole.

In the past week, rumors were flying that music mogul Simon Cowell was engaged to his girlfriend, Mezhgan Hussainy.
Despite what you may have heard, Cowell says that he is not walking down the aisle with the “American Idol” makeup artist. At least not yet!
His publicist, Max Clifford, said, “I spoke to Simon in London yesterday afternoon, just before he took his flight back to L.A. I asked him, ‘Look, are you engaged? Is it true?’, and he said, ‘No! No. I’m not engaged.’”
It was just six weeks after splitting up with long-time girlfriend Terri Seymour that he brought Hussainy with him as his date for his 50th birthday party in October.
Engagement speculation was sparked when Hussainy was snapped wearing a new diamond ring while having dinner with Cowell on Sunday night at Mr. Chow’s in London.
He also said, “She’s the one…She’s very special. I think I need to have little Simons running around.”
What do you think? Think he’s ready to get hitched and have kids with her?

As we all know, the new season of American Idol is set to air without Paula Abdul, but that doesn’t mean she and her craziness is off our screens for good if new rumors are to be believed.
Paula, who is still friends with Simon Cowell, quit her judging duties on Idol because they wouldn’t pay her $10 million per season of the show. Now she has reportedly signed a $4.5 million contract with Cowell to judge on the US version of The X Factor.
The X Factor replaced Pop Idol in the UK a few years ago and has since become the most watched TV show on that side of the pond, which means Cowell is wanting to bring the show over to the US in 2011.
A source said, “Simon flew Paula to London and wined and dined her relentlessly over the course of several days, even introducing her to everyone who works on X Factor. But what really clinched the deal was Simon’s pledge that she wouldn’t have to deal with all the nonsense and infighting that she hated on Idol.â€
I sure hope Paula Abdul did her research on the show before signing the contract because there is even more fighting on The X Factor than there is on American Idol. It is rumored that Sharon Osbourne left her judging job on the show because of fighting.
Either way, The X Factor is way better than American Idol so the sooner it is on US TV the better.
