			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Green Bay Packers Clay Matthews, <a title="Aaron Rodgers speaker" href="http://www.playingfieldpromotions.com/Aaron-Rodgers.php" target="_blank">Aaron Rodgers</a> and head coach <a title="Mike McCarthy speaker" href="http://www.playingfieldpromotions.com/Mike-McCarthy.php" target="_blank">Mike McCarthy</a> were in the audience of &#8220;Dancing With the Stars&#8221; Monday night to root Donald Driver on to the finals. Rodgers gave Driver a score of 10 (a hand gesture), and the two official judges Carrie Ann and Bruno agreed with Rodgers. However, Judge Len Goodman has yet to give Donald that elusive ten that he so well deserves.</p>

<p><span id="more-7474"></span></p>
<p>This has been the most competitive season ever of “DWTS&#8221; where any of the four couples can win. The standings after Monday’s two rounds of competition: Maria Menounos, 59; William Levy, 58; Driver, 57; and Katherine Jenkins, 56. Donald hopes his fans were out in force during the voting so he can make it to the final three for next week’s finale.</p>

<p>Parade.com did an interview with the stunning Peta Murgatroy before the final four dances where she talks about what it&#8217;s like working with dancing partner, NFL star <a title="Donald Driver speaker" href="http://www.playingfieldpromotions.com/Donald-Driver.php" target="_blank">Donald Driver</a>:</p>
<p><strong>On calming the nerves.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I always tell him it&#8217;s just him and I. It&#8217;s about how we can better ourselves and he agrees. He&#8217;s always telling me there is no &#8216;i&#8217; in &#8216;team.&#8217; He&#8217;s all about camaraderie and making sure it&#8217;s a team effort.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Hardest part of the show.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The hours that you have to put into it and how mentally exhausted you get after teaching and dancing all day and every day.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>The advantages of having an athlete.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Definitely their drive to win and how competitive they are. They&#8217;re also quite good about being coached by somebody.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>And the disadvanatages.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Their posture! Running after a ball is not good for their figure. Their shoulders are usually slumped and we have to correct that.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What sets Donald apart.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The chemistry we have together is like no other. We have this special bond. I don&#8217;t think anyone else has our friendship. And everyone can see how much fun we have on the dance floor. It&#8217;s not just about the competition for us. We&#8217;re having so much fun together.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>On the competition.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It is so hard since everyone is so good at different things. Katherine [Jenkins] is the technician. She&#8217;s an amazing dancer. Maria [Menounos] has all that character and she&#8217;s so beautiful when she dances. William [Levy] is a heartthrob and he has this huge fan base. He&#8217;s an incredibly hulky guy. Everyone has something to offer.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Surprises they have in store.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;There are a few cool moves we&#8217;ve got this week. The waltz is going to be extremely emotional. It&#8217;s going to be quite touching. When Donald and I first heard the song we both started crying. It was really emotional and people will be surprised by that.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Favorite part of the season.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Getting to know Donald. He&#8217;s an amazing family man, father, husband, everything. He&#8217;s so sweet and warm.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Her dream DWTS partner.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I was thinking about this: maybe Ryan Gosling or Kellan Lutz. I&#8217;ll be starting my campaign soon.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Next week American Idol‘s Top 4 song theme is &#8220;California Dreamin&#8221;. This could mean artists born in California or songs about California. Songs from The Beach Boys, The Mamas and the Papas and The Eagles come to mind, but artists like Etta James, Josh Groban, Fergie, Dwight Yokam, Cher and more were born in California.</p>
<div id="attachment_7417" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 491px"><img class=" wp-image-7417" title="American Idol season 11 top 4" src="http://www.playingfieldpromotions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/American-Idol-season-11-top-4.jpg" alt="" width="481" height="367" /><p class="wp-caption-text">AMERICAN IDOL: THE FINAL FOUR L-R: Phillip Phillips, Hollie Cavanaugh, Josh Ledet and Jessica Sanchez. CR: Michael Becker / FOX</p></div>
<p><span id="more-7412"></span></p>
<p>I would love to hear Joshua do Etta James &#8220;I&#8217;d Rather Go Blind&#8221; or &#8220;Do Right Woman, Do Right Man&#8221;. The song choices will be the key to who goes forward.</p>
<p>Each contestant will sing two songs, but the second theme as of this post hasn&#8217;t been announced yet. Jennifer Lopez and David Cook are scheduled to perform on next week’s results show on Thusday May 10. Cook will perform a brand new single called “The Last Song I’ll Write for You,” and Lopez will give a pre-taped performance.</p>
<p>See the press release:</p>
<blockquote><p>Tonight, the Top Four Finalists were revealed – Hollie Cavanagh, Joshua Ledet, Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez. One of them will be crowned the next AMERICAN IDOL! After America cast a season-high of nearly 60 million votes for their favorite finalists, it also was revealed tonight that Skylar Laine had received the fewest number of votes and was eliminated from the competition.</p>
<p>With only three performance shows left in the season, tune in next week, Wednesday, May 9 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), when the Top Four return to the IDOL stage to sing for America’s votes on a “California Dreamin’”– themed performance show.</p>
<p>Don’t miss the live results show the following night, Thursday, May 10 (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), when the Top Three finalists are announced and get set for their hometown visits to see family, friends and fans. In addition, global superstar and AMERICAN IDOL judge, Jennifer Lopez, will perform her hit new song “Dance Again.” Season Seven AMERICAN IDOL winner David Cook also returns to the IDOL stage to perform “The Last Song I’ll Write For You.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p></blockquote>
<p>What do you think the final 4 will sing?</p>

<p>Oceanside police chief Frank McCoy told reporters in a press conference that authorities had received a 911 call at at 9:45 a.m. PST from a young woman who said she was Seau&#8217;s girlfriend, and that she had found Seau unconscious in a bedroom with a gunshot wound to the chest.

<p>Seau played most of his 20-season career with the Chargers but also spent time with the Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots. He was inducted last year into the San Diego Chargers Hall of Fame. Seau was a ten-time All-Pro and 12-time Pro Bowl selection and a member of the NFL 1990s All-Decade Team.</p>
<p>&#8220;Everyone at the San Diego Chargers is in complete shock and disbelief right now,&#8221; the team said in a statement released on its Facebook page. &#8220;We ask everyone to stop what they&#8217;re doing and send their prayers to Junior and his family.&#8221;</p>
