“Think before you speak” – An old proverb taught in junior school to save you from embarrassment but why the superstars don’t pay any heed to it.

Probably, they do so to stay in the gossip or prove their innocence.

You should be careful while speaking if you have a limited storage capacity of words or you will have to be apologetic like the stunning singer Jordin Sparks.

During the live MTV awards ceremony, the 18 year old, American Idol winner Jordin Sparks called out to the host, “It’s not bad to wear a promise ring because not everybody – guy or girl – wants to be a slut.” after he mocked the Jonas Brothers for sporting virginal ‘purity rings.’
It is to be noted that these comments came from a singer who herself wears a ‘purity ring’ to show her virginity.

Lately, while talking to Entertainment Weekly, Jordin regretted, “I wish I would’ve worded it differently – that somebody who doesn’t wear a promise ring isn’t necessarily a slut – but I can’t take it back now.”

Alas! Her apology can not undo the hurt feelings of her fans however; this example can serve only as learning for future.

Wake Up Sparks!!!

Miley Cyrus may not be the best choice for anything right now but the 15-year old Hannah Montana star actually picked up her first VMA nomination for Best New Artist for ‘7 Things’. She’s up against her rumored rival, Katy Perry, with this summer’s massive hit ‘I Kissed a Girl’. Other nominees include American Idol champ Jordin Sparks with ‘No Air’, Taylor Swift with ‘Teardrops on My Guitar’ and Tokio Hotel with ‘Ready, Set, Go!’. To see who wins, watch the VMAs. The VMAs will air live from Paramount Studios in Los Angeles and one-time only in its original format on Sunday, September 7, 2008 at 9PM Live ET/Tape Delayed PT.

Jordin Sparks was spotted signing autographs for fans before her performance at the Annual “Energy in the Park” concert at Strandbad Wannsee in Berlin, Germany this past weekend. Look at that big smile on her face! She definitely fits in with the energy theme. Other performers in the line up included the likes of Leona Lewis, The Rasmus, Sunrise Avenue, Madcon, The Script, Alexander Marcus, M. Pokora, Aloha from Hell and Movimiento. I wonder if they had as much energy as Jordin. I just thought of something after looking at the line up. What do you think about a Jordin and Leona duet? I think it would be hot!

Check out a barefooted singer as she rode a roller coaster. It’s a smart move if you don’t want to lose them while on the ride. American Idol champ Jordin Sparks was spotted as she enjoyed a well-deserved day off as she hit up the roller coasters and water rides at Six Flags America in Bowie, Maryland last Friday. In other Jordin news, the season 6 champ will join season 5 runner up Katharine McPhee in celebration of the country’s 232nd birthday by performing on NBC’s Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular which is a live one-hour special that will air on Friday, July 4 at 9PM ET/PT.

American Idol’s most recent champion Jordin Sparks’ debut CD is expected to come in at #2 this week, so say some industry projections. She would come in behind Alicia Keys who’s expected to dominate the charts for the entire holiday season.

Jordin’s album is expected to sell between 90,000 to 100,000 on its first week. While the numbers aren’t that bad, those projections would actually make Jordin’s album have the lowest debut for an American Idol winner – ever! Yes, it’s worse than Ruben’s. A lot of runners up sold even more than that in their first week. That has got to hurt.
