LOS ANGELES - Attention, Brad Pitt : "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks has a crush on you.
"He‘s just really cute," Sparks, 17, said Friday, hastening to note that she doesn‘t know the actor. Pitt is currently involved with an older woman, Angelina Jolie .
"I don‘t know. I‘m just looking forward to doing the best that I can do," the teenage diplomat replied.
"It‘s been pretty crazy," she said, sounding hoarse but still as upbeat as the average teenager. Which is what she is, Sparks said.
How will she stay grounded, resisting entertainment industry pressures that can include an extreme emphasis on weight?
Asked what she‘ll sing on the "American Idol" concert tour with other finalists, she wasn‘t ready with an answer. But she probably won‘t focus too much on Lewis‘ specialty of beatbox sound-effects.
In a separate teleconference Friday, Lewis, 25, of Bothell, Wash., was asked if he thought the contest might be permanently more hip because of him.
This season, golden oldies singer Barry Gibb and Peter Noone were among those playing "Idol" mentor.
He was using "my ‘strategery,‘ as George Bush would say," Lewis said, becoming perhaps the first "Idol" contestant to crack a politically aware joke.
He admires candor, Lewis said a few moments later, responding to a question about the on-air support he got from "The View" hosts Rosie O‘Donnell Rosie O‘Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. (O‘Donnell left the show Friday after a dustup with Hasselbeck.)
