Seattle American Idol fans -- still recovering from David Archuleta's stumble and Chikezie's notice-me performance? Here's another bit of news: Season Six finalist Chris Richardson will be in Seattle next Wednesday -- promoting ice cream.
That's right. If you though Idol mania had invaded every corner of American cultural life, it's now in your grocer's freezer.
Dreyer's Ice Cream is releasing a new line of flavors inspired by the show and Richardson is headlining the promotion on the Dreyer's Web site.
Richardson, along with Melinda Doolittle, guides visitors through an interactive "Dreyers Slow-Churned American Idol," where you can vote to make one of the five Idol flavors a permanent addition to the Dreyer's line and listen to cheesy songs dedicated to Mint Karaoke Cookie, One Split Wonder, Cookies N' Dreamz, Cheesecake Diva and -- get this -- Most Orange-inal.
Oh, marketing.
Richardson, who is working on his first studio album, will be at the Safeway at 9620 28th Avenue SW near Arbor Heights from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. next Wednesday. He'll be meeting fans, signing autographs and, presumably, slurping down some cold, creamy dessert.
