Reports: Clay Aiken’s opponent in North Carolina primary found dead in home

Posted on March 13, 2015 by idolseason

Former American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken held a very slim lead over challenger Keith Crisco in North Carolina’s 2nd district U.S. House Democratic primary. The race was so close it had yet to be called for either candidate.

Today, Crisco was found dead in his home:

From the Asheboro Courier-Tribune:

Asheboro businessman and congressional candidate, Keith Crisco, died suddenly at his home today.

Information is incomplete; however, early information indicates he suffered injuries from a fall around 1 p.m. at his home at 1263 Thayer Drive in Asheboro. He was reported dead at the scene when emergency workers arrived there.

Update:

Aiken responded on both his campaign and personal Twitter accounts:

Editor’s note: This post has been updated to correct the URL of the “very slim lead” link in the first sentence.

Twitter users say Christopher Dorner resembles Ruben Studdard

Posted on March 12, 2015 by idolseason

One is a fugitive who is suspected of killing three people. The other is an amazing singer who won American Idol in 2003. The two men have little in common, but a lot of Twitter users think they look like twins.

I hope they find Ruben Studdard before more people die.

Posted on March 12, 2015 by idolseason

http://twitter.com/#!/brianstelter/status/187513152680886272

NBC's Olympic coverage is bar none…I'm thrilled to be joining the team. I hope they put my locker next to Bob Costas. #sameheight

— Ryan Seacrest (@RyanSeacrest) April 4, 2012

Earlier this morning media mogul Ryan Seacrest appeared on the the “Today Show” to make a special announcement. Most speculation was that Seacrest would be joining the show as an entertainment correspondent, other is that he will be joining the NBC Olympics team to broadcast from London this summer. Here’s a bit more speculation, with details after the tweets:

i'd like to congratulate @RyanSeacrest on his plan for world domination. Great guy who must not sleep! #SeacrestTODAY

— Erin Kennedy (@erinkennedyCBS2) April 4, 2012

#SeacrestToday is it true youre evenually leaving idol?

— catherine schweit (@kitkat1204) April 4, 2012

Seacrest has confirmed that he will be joining the NBC family beginning this summer as a correspondent for the Olympics in London. After Matt Lauer asked him about a future on the “Today Show,” he skirted around the question, ultimately not giving a straightforward answer, but saying his start with the NBC family will be in the Olympics as a host.

https://twitter.com/#!/LauraCollared/status/187529887068856320

Ryan Seacrest could play #MattLauer in the @todayshow movie, but he couldn't replace him in real life #SeacrestToday

— Miss Lori (@misslori) April 4, 2012

Matt should NEVER go any where, but, if he does, @RyanSeacrest is the ONLY acceptable replacement. #SeacrestTODAY

— Tiffany Mosley (@magster1203) April 4, 2012

As for American Idol, Seacrest says, “I plan to stay there. I think I will make an official announcement very, very soon.”

So tired. I want to be on whatever Seacrest is taking.
