9 Days to the Red Carpet

Sherman Pore is the old guy who sang an original song for the judges on American Idol, just 2 days after his "lady love of 20 years" had passed. While clearly out of position for the show, the judges actually gave him a warm reception, enough so that 9 days later he was a red carpet media darling.Friday night (Feb 16), Shag hosted a record release party for Fall Out Boy. Frontman Pete Wentz, who arrived with Rumor Willis (Bruce's daughter) grabbed the spotlight, but after them, and Benji Madden ('not the one dating Nicole Ritchie), Sherman was the story. He sang to a confused photographer pool , who didnt know whether to clap or be embarassed. How does this happen? He lives next door to a huckster/fake publicist (cropped out of this photo), who took Sherman from grieving Romeo to Red Carpet watercooler talk in 9 days...at least until everyone got wind of breaking "Britney shaved her head bald" news.

P.S. Search "Britney Bald" in Google...what comes up is both surprising, and not...at the same time.
