'American Idol' runner-up has begun writing songs
NEW YORK -- Much like his "American Idol" cohort, Season 7 winner David Cook, runner-up David Archuleta has signed with 19 Recordings/Jive. If history reveals anything, fans can expect an album from the 17-year-old pop singer in the fall or winter, after his stint with the American Idols Live tour concludes.
It's possible that the Utah native might be penning some songs for the effort himself. In a recent interview, Archuleta said he has "started to write some songs. I thought that was really fun to do. ... I'd like to get into that more. I think this experience on 'American Idol,' trying to figure out what songs work best with your voice and trying to arrange them, has really helped and I'd like to see if I can write some more stuff, because I've only written like three songs all the way."
Three songs sung by Archuleta have already impacted the Hot 100 chart. His versions of "Imagine," "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" and "In This Moment" bowed at No. 36, No. 58 and No. 60 last week, though they slid off of this week's tally.
The Idols tour kicks off July 1 and runs through Sept. 13, featuring this season's other top 10 finalists like Cook, Brook White, Sayesha Mercado and Jason Castro.

Sex And The City - Cattrall Delighted To Beat Indiana Jones
SEX AND THE CITY star KIM CATTRALL is delighted her film has over taken the new INDIANA JONES movie at the global box office - calling the news "classic".
Sex and the City: The Movie edged out Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull to claim the number one spot outside the U.S. this week (beg09Jun08).
The big-screen adaptation of the hit U.S. TV series earned an estimated $38.2 million (GBP19.1 million) during its second weekend on release, ending Indiana Jones' two week reign at the top of the international charts.
And Cattrall, who plays Samantha Jones in the hit film, was stunned by the news - because she never thought her movie could overtake Harrison Ford's comeback as the action archeologist.
She says, "I never thought it would be this huge, to beat Indiana Jones, I mean - that's Hollywood royalty.
"It's classic, that was truly a weekend to remember. I've never gotten so many phone calls from executives on a Sunday morning. It was really exciting."

Mariah Carey planning second wedding to Nick Cannon
Mariah Carey is already planning a second wedding to husband Nick Cannon; and this time, the world-renowned diva plans to make her nuptials an extravagant event, according to a source close to the singer.
“It�s going to be held in New York City in the next six weeks. Picture a wedding on the scale of Liza Minelli�s and you�ll be on the right track,” said the source.
Mariah, 38, last week told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres that the second wedding would be next year; and the guests at her secret ceremony in the Bahamas were “mainly people there to do my hair and help me with the dress.”
