Country star and American Idol  winner Carrie Underwood is dating reality TV doctor Travis Storck, according to reports.
The 25-year-old singer, who once romanced Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, has been seeing the 36-year-old medic and former Bachelor star for seven months, after meeting him in 2006, claims the National Enquirer.
A source tells the tabloid, “Carrie and Travis quickly developed a long-distance phoneand text-message relationship.
“They’ve kept the romance under the radar, but Carrie’s been telling friends that it feels like they’ve known each other forever.
“They are so sure of their feelings that they’re already talking about settling down together.”

Dr. Travis Storck can currently been seen weekdays on The Doctors.

CHICAGO (CBS) ― The mother and brother of Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Hudson were found shot to death in a South Side residence Friday afternoon.

Police issued an Amber Alert for a missing 7-year-old child, a nephew of Hudson’s.

Hudson’s mother, 57-year-old Darnell Hudson Donerson, was one of two adults found fatally shot at a home at 70th Street and Yale Avenue, said Willie Davis, pastor of Progressive Baptist Church, where Jennifer Hudson has been a member.

The other victim was her brother, Jason, a relative said.

“This is a very sad day to get that kind of news,” Davis said. “This is really going to be a major, major blow to such a wonderful person … But we know through our faith in God she’ll get through it.”

Davis said Hudson’s relationship with her mother was “very close.” The singer was expected to arrive in Chicago from Florida, he said.

It’s seems like VH1 reality’s HBIC, Tiffany Pollard of I Love New York and New York Goes to Hollywood fame, is not at all happy with the impending nuptuals of her former reality show date, David “Punk” Otunga and former American Idol contestant, turned Oscar winner, Jennifer Hudson. She was recently interviewed by In Touch magazine, and she feels that the marriage won’t last, and that David Otunga is a bit of a gold-digging status seeker. She also seemed to think that something was wrong with the Harvard Law School grad because he was respectful enough not to “try anything” on her. From InTouchWeekly.com:

In this week’s issue of People, former American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken comes out to us all, and confesses that he’s gay. Unless you have been living under a rock, this was not a bombshell. Did he think we all thought he was straight up until this week?

It’s always anti-climactic when someone in the public eye fesses up to something that people have been talking about for years. His motivation for coming out is that he has to set an example for his child now that he is a father.

“I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn’t raised that way, and I’m not going to raise a child to do that,” the new father told People. That is a respectable decision.

Those hard-core Idol fans who can’t get enough will be glad to know that it will return to syndication of September 22:

AMERICAN IDOL REWIND is back and ready to debut an all-new season of extraordinary moments, top performances and exclusive highlights from the world television phenomenon, “American Idol.” The top-rated syndicated series returns this season with a double dose of Idol mania, highlighting both Seasons 3 and 4 when it premieres in national syndication the week of September 22nd (check local listings). And for those who missed an episode or just can’t get enough, encore episodes of AMERICAN IDOL REWIND will air on TV Guide Network beginning the week of September 29th (check local listings).

Although the rumors were swirling this summer that American Idol contestant, and Emmy winner Jennifer Hudson was dating David “Punk” Otunga, we haven’t written about it, because we had nothing concrete. Well, its seems that the two reality show alumni are engaged to be married.

The couple, who are both from Chicago, have been dating for less than a year, but love does not have a timetable. According to Hudson’s spokesperson, the two got engaged Friday night in Los Angeles.

(press release)

The American Idol audition’s are hitting the north east this upcoming week. Now’s your chance to show the world that you are next  Carrie Underwood, or Clay Aiken. On the other hand, if you have no talent you can always be the next William Hung.
