No matter what season of American Idol, the alumni are all over the news and music circuit these days.  Here are a few interesting AI alum stories of note: Michael Johns' "Beauty"/"Man In Motion" is featured on producer and AI regular David Foster's new CD/DVD Hit Man:  David Foster and Friends.  The CD/DVD is set to release Tuesday, November 11th, 2008. David Cook and David Archuleta fans had to have been thrilled to catch a preview of their favorite David's album, as both were available for an early listen thanks to Clear Channel Radio's Sneak Peek program.  David Archuleta's album was released nearly a week ago, and it shot to number two on the iTunes chart!  David Cook's highly anticipated CD drops tomorrow, November 18th, but his fans have already been listening, and the early buzz is that it's a hit.  Billboard calls the album "a host of big, anthemic choruses that highlight the power of Cook's voice, namely the soaring 'Declaration' and Chris Cornell/Brian Howes-penned 'Light On.'  Elsewhere, Cook exercises his right to rock with the swaggering, gritty 'Bar-ba-sol' and bares his soul alongside a delicate piano and string arrangement on 'Permanent.'" The season seven Idol who became known as "the tiny girl with the big voice," Ramiele Malubay, will perform in a pre-Christmas concert at the Aliw Theater in Pasay City, Philippines.  Danny Noriega is also set to perform. AI-6 Winner, Jordin Sparks, has designed a line of clothing exclusively for Wet Seal.  The Sparks collection will debut on Nov. 19 with holiday dresses.
