Rick Springfield, Jordin Sparks, Shirley Jones and More in Lauralee Bell's Quirky, Funny Family Dinner


Okay, full disclosure. I didn't like the first episode of Lauralee Bell's webcom Family Dinner when it premiered, so I didn't keep watching. Looks like that was a big mistake on my part, because the Funny or Die series has gotten a lot funnier! In the latest installment, Shirley Jones guests as a "musical therapist" resulting in the whacked out family members having some goofy-yet-humorous fantasies featuring their fave singers. Who knew Cricket Blair could be funny?  READ MORE

Rick Springfield Says "Was a Thrill" To Play "Jessie's Girl"


In the 35th anniversary edition of People magazine, singer/actor Rick Springfield chats with American Idol winner, David Archuleta on the realization of being a pop superstar.
What was the moment like when you first realized that you were a musical idol?

Springfield: My first thrill was playing "Jessie's Girl" live and hearing the audience react. It was at a Beach Boys show on the Fourth of July. It was wonderful. The audience started cheering as soon as we played the riff.

Archuleta: For me, the thrill is just that people actually like it. It's neat to see people react to your songs the same way that you would react to someone else's songs.
