We know American Idol winner Kris Allen and runner-up Adam Lambert are great friends, but now they might be taking that friendship into the studio: The two have said they're interested in recording a song together.
Nothing's official, but I'm wondering what you think about the possibility. Could Adam's glam rock style and Kris's low-key singer/songwriter vibe merge into a track you'd want to hear?

Both of Fox's mega-hit reality competitions, American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance, have capable hosts at the helm.
Ryan Seacrest is a pro at steering a live broadcast and keeping the Idol judges panel on track. He sometimes veers into the lame joke territory, but mostly it's good fun.

Another day, another season eight American Idol contestant signing a record deal. This time, it's fourth-place finisher Allison Iraheta, who's signed to Jive Records, the same label winner Kris Allen is working with. (Runner-up Adam Lambert is working with RCA.)
Kris and Adam have already generated headlines (and magazine covers), and both of them seem like the kind of Idol contestants who will go on to great careers.

After the giddiness of Wednesday's results show wore off a little, but before preparations for albums and touring start in earnest, American Idol winner Kris Allen and runner-up Adam Lambert jumped on the phone with reporters again this morning for one last look back at their journeys on the show. Both definitely seemed to be looking to the future — conceptualizing their albums, writing or co-writing some songs — but were willing to share some highlights of their time on Idol, too. Here are highlights — first from Kris, then from Adam.

This season of American Idol started with a girl in a bikini and ended with a bona fide surprise ending. So in some ways, Wednesday's two-hour finale — which packed in performances from Cyndi Lauper, KISS, Queen, the Black Eyed Peas, and all of the year's top 13 — was the perfect culmination.
You're already telling me what you think of the winner, but what did you make of Wednesday's blowout finale?

So how does it feel to be the new American Idol? The word on Kris Allen's lips when he stopped by the Idol press room a couple of minutes ago was "shocked": "I felt shocked almost every week that I made it," he said. "And to be the American Idol, I'm completely shocked."
