"It's JPL...It's JPL!!" To the joy of female fans everywhere, American Idol Season 3 eighth-place finisher, Jon Peter Lewis, is gearing up to release his debut album November 7, E-Online reports. The album, titled Stories From Hollywood, could be a bit misleading, though. In a statement, JPL said he turned down multiple offers after his Idol run, so he could work to develop a sound that was authentic JPL. During his time out of the spotlight, he penned every track on the upcoming record. "Looking back, it would have been a lot easier to jump into one of the offers handed to me, but it would have been a mistake to try and be somebody I wasn't," the 26-year-old Lincoln, Nebraska, native said. "My heart just wasn't into being a ballad singer or creating a teenybopper image. I've always felt more comfortable with a rock edge. It's been a long and challenging road over the last two years, but well worth the wait." OK, so technically, these aren't stories from Hollywood, so don't expect any Paris trash-talking or Lindsay Lohan revelations. JPL's just not that kind of guy. And that's why we love him...I for one am ECSTATIC about hearing his sound. You're a cutie! Who doesn't dream of marrying a pen salesman? I know I've dreamed of it since I was a little girl.
