I'm grateful this ordeal is over, and I'm so looking forward to getting back to the job I love.
I will never forget my humble beginnings as a Laker Girl. It was probably one of the most fun jobs I ever had.
Idol has pretty much taken me out of my recording and out of my choreography. I have managed to slip in some choreography jobs. And I've been writing songs for other artists.
My job, I think, is the hardest job out of all the judges because I am the only one that is a performer.
Every day in the news we're hearing how rampant violence is in our communities, both here in America and around the world. I believe that the establishement of a United States Department of Peace can greatly help alleviate the many problems that we hear about on a daily basis. Our children deserve so much better. It is our job right here and now to build a better world. By establishing a US Department of Peace we are doing just that. Please get involved ... It's up to us to be the change that we wish for and the time is now to co-create it.
It is my job to make sure that these kids who are talented get every chance they can and not to be passed over; this is life or death for them.
