David Cook On His 'American Idol' TitleThe new "American Idol" talks about his win and what lies ahead. DAVID COOK may be the new "American Idol," but in a phone call today talking about his win, he revealed that it had never been his plan to audition. He went along to lend his support to his brother. "[We were] standing on line at 5:30 in the morning in Omaha. It is raining. The sun hasn't come up. The producer comes by with a camera and talks to my brother, then turns to me. I said, 'I am not auditioning.' He goes, 'Well, you are now.' I just figured I would go in and sing a song and they would say I wasn't what they were looking for. Then, I would go back to Tulsa and work on my record some more. Somebody had another plan." David also dispels the rumors that he is an overnight success -- going from being a bartender to a recording star. His journey actually began when he was 15 years old and joined a band in Kansas City. He continued to pursue a career in music after college, moving to Tulsa to join a band. During the past 10 years, he has also played acoustic gigs a couple of times a week, which has given him a lot of years to think about the direction he wants his music to take.

The Police Announce Retirement!Will fans be "driven to tears"? THE POLICE are about to cast their last message in a bottle. The legendary rock trio fronted by STING announced that they will play their final concert later this year in NYC, the Associated Press reports. "We kicked off our very first American tour at (former New York club) CBGBs in 1978 and this summer, 30 years later, our journey will come full circle as we play our final show here in New York City," the band said in a statement. Details of the gig have yet to be announced, but it's almost certain to sell out faster than you can say "De do do do, de da da da." The band behind such massive hits as "Roxanne," "Walking on the Moon," and "Every Breath You Take," the Police will be remembered for their five, classic albums, their signature reggae-tinged sound, and the catchy, oft-volatile "synchronicity" between bassist and songwriter Sting, guitarist ANDY SUMMERS, and drummer STEWART COPELAND.
