Britney Spears’ continued ‘American Idol’ connections
Kristy Lee Cook, now a Top 10 finalist on American Idol, once was signed to a contract with Britney Spears’ production company.
Britney Spears, fresh off of a great performance on How I Met Your Mother, seems to be making the rounds with all of the finalists this season on American Idol.
Spears, who became a pop superstar after her time as a Mouseketeer, was the one to sign Top 10 finalist Kristy Lee Cook to a recording contract when the Idol contestant was 17. Cook was the first artist signed to Britney’s production company. And Britney even promised to help Cook out by appearing in her debut video.
But, in 2003, Cook asked to be released from her contract to work toward other musical interests. Of course, those interests didn’t really amount to much … until now.
Earlier this season, it was announced Top 24 Idol finalist Robbie Carrico, who allegedly dated Miss Spears for a short period of time in the late 1990s. And, while Britney really didn’t have anything to do with her, contestant Kady Malloy did her best work behind the scenes with spot-on Britney impersonations.
I guess it’s only a matter of time before we find out Jason Castro’s dreads actually are made with the hair Britney shaved from her head last year … or maybe not.
