Jordin Sparks Looks Forward to Idol's New Vibe with Ellen
Originally posted 09/28/2009 09:00AM
American Idol season-six winner Jordin Sparks didn't know what to think when she first heard that Ellen DeGeneres was replacing Paula Abdul as a judge on the show.
"I kind of didn't get it. I was very confused for a second," the singer tells PEOPLE.
"But the more I thought about it, I thought, 'Well, she's definitely very opinionated and has a good point of view,' " says Sparks. "She'll give Simon a piece of her mind. I'm excited – I think the vibe will be different, but really cool."

Could Jordin Sparks be ready to take her relationship with close pal, singer-songwriter and ex-model Steph Jones to the next level?
"We don't know whether or not to go further or to just keep the friendship," the singer, 19, told PEOPLE Tuesday night at the 57th Annual BMI Pop Awards in Beverly Hills, where Jones was her date. "It's crazy. We've got the feelings, but we don't know whether or not to say it out loud."
One thing is for sure: The fellow keeps her feeling bubbly. "He's a really good guy," Sparks says. "A lot of fun." So how did the two initially link? Sparks proudly admits she was the one who made the first move.

Jordin Sparks Explains Her VMAs 'Slut' Comment
Originally posted 09/10/2008 04:40PM
Jordin Sparks doesn't regret defending the Jonas Brothers for wearing purity rings at MTV's Video Music Awards on Sunday – but now wishes she'd chosen her words more carefully.
During the show, Sparks – who wears a purity ring herself – called out host Russell Brand for mocking the trio's jewelry.
Sparks's original comment on live television was, "It's not bad to wear a promise ring because not everybody – guy or girl – wants to be a slut."
But now she's clarifying her remarks in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly. "I wish I would’ve worded it differently – that somebody who doesn’t wear a promise ring isn't necessarily a slut – but I can't take it back now," Sparks, 18, told the magazine.

"I just have one thing to say about promise rings. It's not bad to wear a promise ring," Sparks, 18, told the crowd, off-the-cuff, "because not everybody – guy or girl – wants to be a slut."

Jordin Sparks's Super Bowl Gig a Family Affair
Originally posted 02/04/2008 08:25AM
Jordin Sparks's singing the "Star-Spangled Banner" at Sunday's Super Bowl was one big family affair.
Jordin's mother Jodi lent her 18-year-old daughter jewelry to complement her Dolce & Gabbana sleeveless dress, her grandparents were on hand, as was her younger brother to keep her company.
And then there was her father's contribution. Until he retired from the team in 2001, Phillippi Sparks played for the New York Giants – who just happened to beat the "unbeatable" New England Patriots on Sunday, 17-14.
"You couldn't ask for a more fitting story," Phillippi Sparks told the Associated Press. "How could it have been better aligned?"
