American Idol Jordin Sparks just added a youth-friendly concert to her Jan. 30 West Valley stop.

Sparks is hosting a charity gala at Peoria's Skye restaurant that evening. But beforehand, she will put on an informal concert. It will feature Sparks singing a few acoustic songs along with American Idol costars Melinda Doolittle, Chris Richardson and LaKisha Jones, among other local singers and deejays.

The gathering starts 3 p.m. in an outdoor tent that can accommodate about 1,000 people.

Sparks, the Glendale teen-ager who won Idol in 2007 and will sing the national anthem at Super Bowl XLII, added the concert to open the event to those under 21.

Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at Skye, 16844 N. Arrowhead Fountain Center Drive, Peoria or on www.nxlevelvip.com.

At 7:30 p.m., the Jordin Sparks Celebrity Charity Gala inside Skye ramps up to the 21 and over crowd with a fashion show, music and sports celebs. General admission tickets are $100 and VIP passes are $200.

Capricorn
Mary J. Blige/ Jordin Sparks

Jordin Sparks, American IdolMary J. Blige, singerShooting For The Moon: “Jordin has the most exciting chart. She has 5 planets in Capricorn and all of them will be visited by Jupiter. Mary will be very lucky, too but not until the second half of the year, because she was born in January. The people who are feeling lucky are the ones born in December.”

2008 Outlook: “This is her (Jordin) year to make her mark. She is my pick for newsmaker of 2008. I think she will move up the latter faster than anybody else but she has to apply herself. She has to want it. If she wants it, it’s there for her. Mary’s had some high expenses. By the summer, she’s going to make so much money. It’s an important year for her because she’s the cosmic favorite.”

Advice: “This is the year that Jordin and Mary should go for broke. Jordin should do the album, the movie, the broadway show, the Mattel doll and the calendar. She can’t go wrong. Mary is onward and upward.”

JORDINS NEW YEARS WISH!
Current mood: blessed

Ok, so you all know that I've been totally blessed this year right? Well, I want to be able to give back and make a difference and I need YOUR help! I've got over 60 thousand myspace friends right? Let's do the math…..

IF ½ OF MY MYSPACE FRIENDS EACH GAVE $1.00, THAT WOULD BE $30,000.00.

IF I MATCHED IT, THAT WOULD BE A TOTAL OF $60,000.00.

SOOOOO…LET'S DO IT AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD!

Directions:

1.) Mail $1.00 to the address below. I will match every penny that comes in DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR. (If you give more…I'll match it!)

2.) Write on the envelope CHARITY and either 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 and that is the charity that I will send the money to. Do not write anything else…keep it simple so that we can open all of them quick!

3.) I will send EVERY PENNY of what we raise to these charities. YOU pick where your dollar goes, we can raise thousands for those less fortunate and organizations that will make a difference, and it only costs you $1.41 (w/ postage).

4.) This challenge ends in 30 days…February 3rd, 2008.

5.) Hey, you gotta boss or corporation or business that will match up to a certain point?? Let me know at donate@jordinsparkscharities.com, and I'll add it to this blog! For every person that raises $5,000.00 I will personally call and provide VIP tickets to a show.

3.) VALLEY YOUTH THEATER - A local youth theater.
4.) ON EARTH - helping widows and orphans in Africa and Russia.
