Professional wrestler David Otunga is keen for the singer to show off her vocal talents at their forthcoming nuptials along with contestants from ‘American Idol’, the show on which Jennifer first found fame.
He said: “It would be great if any of the former American Idols sang at the wedding. And it would be wonderful to have Jennifer sing – I’d love that. But I won’t be because I don’t sing!”
The couple – who met at Jennifer’s 27th birthday party in 2008 – have a six-month-old son David Jr. and they are keen for the tot to play a big part on their special day.
David said: “I want my son and I to wear matching custom tuxedos!”
A date has already been set for the nuptials and the couple are busy finalising plans.
He revealed to Life and Style magazine: “We’ve picked a date. And Jennifer has chosen her dress, but she won’t tell me much about that, obviously.
“We know who we want to design the rings – Neil Lane, he made our engagement rings. And he’s a personal friend as well.”
Grappler David – who is one of eight professional wrestlers appearing on the World Wrestling Entertainment’s new reality show ‘WWE NXT’ – recently said he wanted tie the knot in a wrestling ring.
When asked whether the WWE could convince the couple to get married in the squared circle, David joked: “We could do that. I don’t know if Jennifer would go for it, but I’d be up for it.”

ABC says more than 1,500 people have called to complain about Adam Lambert’s sexually charged performance at the American Music Awards.
The network characterized the response as “moderate.” Before his performance, Lambert said that he wanted to break down a double standard that existed where female performers are often sexually provocative while men don’t do it that often.
There were also hostile comments online about the “American Idol” glam rocker who sang his new song “For Your Entertainment” on Sunday’s show with an elaborate, S&M-themed production. Lambert fondled a dancer, led another around on a leash, had a dancer briefly stick his head in Lambert’s crotch and kissed a man.
I’m glad people are complaining – not about the sexual element – but because his performance SUCKED!

Jennifer Hudson is going to make a brilliant mom!
The American Idol superstar has released the first picture of her son David, who was born August 10.
“I love being nurturing and caring because I love to see other people happy,” Huudson told People magazine. “Who better to devote my time to than my own child?”
Hudson also revealed how she and her fiance, David Otunga, tried to keep the pregnancy a secret for as long as possible.
“David and I were the only people who knew for a long time,” she said. “I would forget I was pregnant, it was so easy. I didn’t have any morning sickness, no cravings either. I just thought, ‘Oh, well, we’ll wait until it’ll tell on itself.’ I didn’t show until I was seven months so that made it easy right there.”
The star also revealed how she’s recovering from her C-section. “Everybody told me how much it was going to hurt afterward but I think I have a different tolerance for pain than others,” she said. “By that night after I had the baby, I’m like, ‘Look, I can’t sit in this bed anymore. I’ve got to get up!’ I’ve been up and about since he was born. To me, the pain is no different than when you work out a muscle you’ve never worked out before and it’s sore.”
Jennifer says her special little guy “has a lot of personality, like David. He’s always been a good sleeper. His favorite time to smile now is diaper changes. Or when he spits up on you – he just cracks up like he thinks it’s the funniest thing. And his bottle is his pacifier. With a pacifier, it’s like he knows, ‘Ain’t nothing come out of here. No, I don’t want that. Where’s the real deal?’ His best friend is that bottle; that’s all he wants.”

Paula Abdul will see familiar faces when she hosts the “VH1 Divas” concert – former “American Idol” winners Kelly Clarkson and Jordin Sparks are among the singers.
The special, which also includes Adele, Leona Lewis and Miley Cyrus, will air live on Sept. 17.
Abdul has been filling in her dance card with work since Twittering her decision to quit as an “American Idol” judge. Besides the VH1 concert, she’s filmed an appearance on Lifetime’s “Drop Dead Diva.”
Producer-judge Nigel Lythgoe of Fox’s “So You Think You Can Dance” expressed interest in an Abdul cameo on the show, and ABC programming chief Stephen McPherson said he’s been in touch with her.
But Abdul has yet to announce a steady job to replace the hit singing contest, which she left amid contract negotiations.

“American Idol” Season Four Runner-Up Bo Bice has certainly mapped out a route to success that includes a lot of time on tour (hence the name of his new album is “I Love the Road”), but entertaining our troops overseas has been the biggest highlight of his journey.
“I come from a military family, so when the call came to go over to Afghanistan, I jumped at the chance. Those two weeks were life changing, getting to experience how these men and women live, to see the true vision of what’s going on over there,” Bice told FOXNews.com. “Over here in the United States, we’re cut off. We don’t see that there’s so many bases out there that are controlled by other countries, and that we’re the support effort. So there’s a lot of different people tied up in this campaign. But the men and women there never waiver, whether they’re a support group or on the front lines. I took away a new respect and love for what freedom really means.”
Bice also chimed on on the continuing Paula Abdul controversy, and said “Idol” may take some knocks without Abdul at the judges table.
“If you took away Randy or you took away Paula or you took away Simon, you’re changing the dynamic of what made the show great,” Bice added. “I don’t think it could equally handle the loss on either end of which way the teeter tot goes, whether it be Simon or Paula. It’s like having a hit show, take Joey out of “Friends”… would it still be just as big of a hit?”?
Well, when you took all of the other “Friends” away, “Joey” didn’t do so well. But that’s another story…

TMZ had a little blurb today about Paula Abdul telling them she has something in the works. Yeah, yeah, I am sure she does but guest appearances do not really qualify as “in the works.” At the end of the blurb they mentioned Dunkleman. I had totally forgotten about the guy and so decided to see what happened to him since he left American Idol.
Does anyone remember Brian Dunkleman? This is a guy who left American Idol voluntarily because he thought he would have a better career off the show rather than on it. Like the rest of us Paula obviously forgot about Dunkleman and what happened to his career after he decided to pull the plug on Idol. He told The Howard Stern show that he still holds a grudge against Ryan Seacrest and is jealous. You think so? You think it is any more so now that Ryan just signed a deal for $45M over three years? They were both unknown when American Idol started and now it seems like Ryan controls the world and Brian is out trying to peddle a show about his life called American Dunkleman.
