Such a funny video! Have you voted for your town?

I’m not sure why I didn’t post this earlier … better late than never :) Such a great song, and I do love the video.

Ryan appears around 3 minutes in.

I was lucky enough to catch Allison at the KIIS FM Jingle Ball Village last weekend — she absolutely killed it! I can’t wait to listen to her CD (I’m impatiently awaiting its delivery…)

Laura Saltman asks Ryan about American Idol, and whether he thinks the judges are going to get along…

Ryan tweeted earlier today to say that he’s recording the voice over for the first episode today. Not long to wait until the new season — I’m really looking forward to having Ryan back on my TV!
