The Top 24 closer than we all imagined--and by closer, I mean in an hour or so--and we'll have lots to talk about later, but for now, here's another one of those American Idol roundups. On today's edition: the Kradison pre-gig interview, more Idols on Broadway, and that thing Adam did last night.

Kradison talk "Crazy", Europe and hair. The secret to Kris, Adam and Allison being loved by fans collectively: the hair. Well, Allie and Adam's hair. MTV News has released this epic (and I mean epic) nine-part interview shortly before their performance at Ryan Seacrest's Rock My Town gig in New York. There are also bits about Kris being mobbed during his Asia gigs, Adam's hopes to perform in "liberal" Europe, Allie's (still uncomfirmed) next single, and their take on their first collaboration together.

Speaking of hair... Ace Young and Diana DeGarmo are joining the new cast of the Broadway revival of Hair. As the current cast flies to London for a West End stint, Ace and Diana will play Berger and Shiela, respectively. Both are Broadway veterans now: the former was in Grease, while the latter was in Hairspray.

And speaking of a next single... Jordin Sparks talked to True Exclusives about her third single from Battlefield, as well as an upcoming spring tour.



Jason Castro's in the middle of a marriage high. "She has been a big inspiration for me from day one and before the marriage she was a big inspiration, too," he told the Huffington Post in reference to his wife, Mandy Mayhall. "I wrote my first song about her and I just love her."

And finally... You've heard of Adam Lambert grilling a gig-goer who was talking on the phone as he performed, right? I don't see anything bad with it. It is rude, after all.
