Certainly, Miami auditions produced a lot of talents for the Hollywood part of the auditions. Robbie Carrico is another rock singer-type of contestant. A competitor for David of Omaha Auditions? Maybe so. But I still kind of like David. It’s quite a mystery how Ghaleb Emchah got in. Yes, he could sing, but Simon is right in saying that the thick Mexican accent is getting in the way. It was fun watching best friends Corliss Smith and Brittany Wescott audition together. But, of the two, I liked Brittany Wescott better. Her voice seemed suited for contemporary songs...

Land developer Roy Carroll plans to donate the profits from one of his new houses to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). Carroll, whose sixteen-year-old daughter has Type 1 diabetes, will make the donation just as soon as the house is sold. All the material and labor for the house will be donated. Carroll expects the house to be finished in November and estimates it will sell for around $168,000.Generous? Yes. Not to mention something of a tradition, this being the third house Carroll has built as a fundraiser for the JDRF, an organization that Carroll hopes will eventually be successful in i...

Greta asked Brittany what her Miss Maryland job entails. Brittany told Greta her full-time job is to represent her platform -- skin cancer.Brittany didn't choose just any topic for her platform. She chose one that is entirely personal. Skin cancer has left more than 20 scars on Brittany's body. One, on her back, marks the site where a stage two melanoma was removed when she was just 19 years old. It presented as a mole, a little smaller than a nickel, she says. In all likelihood, the cancer was caused by two years of tanning bed use. Brittany says she probably tanned every day for two years. Her pursuit of bronzed skin began ...
