CHRIS DAUGHTRY, ELLIOTT YAMIN, ACE YOUNG and BUCKY COVINGTON - the guys were hanging out together. I asked them how they are doing, and Chris said “I’m great” and Ace said “Doing great!” They were ready to party and I would see a lot more of them later on.

It was closing time and I got some fun footage of the “American Idol” guys…
CHRIS DAUGHTRY and BUCKY COVINGTON strolled down the Sunset Strip. I asked Chris “Who’s going to win the show?” Chris replied “We don’t know yet, we’ll find out next week, right?” I told him “Yeah, we’ll find out.” Chris said “Yeah, Man!” Chris and Bucky stopped at the Chevron gas station to pose with a couple fans and sign autographs. They were loving the attention and Chris yelped out and did a little dance! They were definately enjoying being lit up by my video. I asked Mr Daughtry “Are you having fun in Hollywood, Chris?” Chris replied “Yes!” Then he pointed to the club and said “Ace is coming out right now.” I told him “Hey, you’re the guy, Chris!” He said “Seriously, he’s coming out right now!” Chris posed with a couple fans and I told Bucky “Get in there Bucky, get in there!” Bucky laughed! Chris asked Bucky “Did he just run down the street, did Elliott leave?” Mr Covington told him that Elliott went inside the mini-mart at the Chevron. I asked Chris “What to you love about Hollywood, Chris?” He said “It’s a great place, man…it’s a great place!” The two of them went inside the mini-mart, and joined Elliott. They bought snacks and I filmed them inside the store. They laughed and got a kick out of it. Fans recognized them, chatted and hugged them. When they parted with their fans, Chris told them “You all be good, okay! Thank you so much!” I told them “You got fans everywhere, guys!” They smiled and Chris said ”It’s fun, isn’t it?” I said “It’s fun!” They exited the mini-mart and I let them go ahead. The three guys strolled down Sunset Boulevard. As I headed back to the club, I bumped into the other “American Idol” finalist…

ACE YOUNG - Ace was about to climb into a taxi, and had stopped to sign a couple autographs. I asked him “What do you love about Hollywood, Ace?” He responded “Hollywood is where it’s at…thank you guys!” I told him “You’re going to be a big star!” He replied “I’m trying, thank you!” Then he hopped into the taxi and off he went.

It was a very interesting Friday night on the strip. It was fun getting those “American Idol” guys. They were very pleasant and I wish them all Great Success!
