Yeaaaa Boy...Flavor Flav's chicken restaurant closes in Iowa







I know most people are saying what chicken restuarant or is that just what we are thinking? A fried chicken restaurant in Iowa founded by Flavor Flav has abruptly closed its doors after the reality TV star and his business partner cut ties and exchanged harsh words.



  Flav's Fried Chicken in Clinton, Iowa, closed on Sunday, just four months after opening to much fanfare.











Flav told WQAD-TV that he was pulling a license that allowed restaurant manager Nick Cimino to use his name in the restaurant because he "isn't running the business right." Some former employees had complained they were not paid.




Cimino told the station Flav was "a fraud" who was trying to get rich off of his ideas and work.  Flav, a founder of the hip-hop group Public Enemy and later a star of VH1's "The Surreal Life," opened the business with Cimino in January. (AJC)

James Durbin Bio

If you want to see James Durbin in concert, click here to get your ticket to the American Idol Live 2011 Tour.


This is a short biography of American Idol season 10 contestant James Durbin. It includes photos of James with his wife fiance and son as well as other pictures taken before and during James' time as a contestant on American Idol Season 10.

James Durbin was born in Santa Cruz, California on January 6, 1989 to Willy and Judy Durbin. He is currently in the top 8 of American Idol. To anybody who has seen the show and has seen James talk in an interview it might seem a bit strange the way he expresses himself.

Willy Durbin, James' father, was a musician who passed away of a drug overdose when James was only nine years old. After this incident James was diagnosed with not one, but two neurological conditions known as Tourette and Asperger syndromes. Affected by father’s death and dealing with these two conditions he became socially awkward. However whenever he sang people always applauded and he felt the warm welcome his talent provided.

The fact that James Durbin is a good singer has helped him overcome the obstacles that he faces day by day. He has made it through to the top 7 on American Idol season 10 and the confidence he has been able to build up is thanks to his talent. James is only 22 years old but now has a wife fiancé named Heidi and two-year-old son to raise. He refers to his wife fiancé as his rock and states that you have to take each day at a time in order to survive. His favorite quote is “You can’t change the wind, but you can set your sails in the direction you want”.

On the week when contestants were asked to sing a song from the year they were born, James’s mother said that even when he was a little baby he used to sing with a perfect pitch, something James finds amusing. However he has always enjoyed singing perhaps it is a trait his father passed on to him. Some of his biggest musical influences are Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant, Steven Tyler, and Ronnie James Dio. One of the people’s favorite James Durbin performances on American Idol is “I’ll Be There For You” which ended with some fantastic flames. It turned the people on and the judges enjoyed it very much.


James also showed he doesn’t always sing just rock music; he delivered a decent performance of Paul McCartney’s “Maybe I’m Amazed” showing a gentle and softer side of his musical talent which was well appreciated by the judges and the audience. And even though it’s his talent what has led him where he is now, his conditions have also played a part in it. He has become sort of a role model to the thousands of American kids who face the same problem. It was published on the Seattle Times that a boy from California named Brandon DeVicenzi started watching American Idol just because of James. Brandon suffers from Tourette’s syndrome and has been able to accept it more now that he has seen somebody like him is on national TV.

James surely has been through a lot in his short 22 years of life and despite the fact that he might have to try twice as hard as anybody else, he is determined to make it happen. He has met with many producers thanks to the show and he feels comfortable with them. He stated it’s like he has known them for a while. It is evident that his condition won’t stop him from becoming a star.

On April 20, 2011 James Durbin performed Uprising by the Muse. While a lot of people praised him for rocking it out others think he murdered the song. The week before, on April 13, 2011  he sand Heavy Metal and was joined on stage by non other than the legendary Zakk Wylde himself.

James Durbin was the lead singer of a band named Whatever Fits, they have a MySpace page where you can listen to their songs. They released a CD three years ago. You can also find the band’s music on iTunes.

Your Music Magazine, which is a Santa Cruz publication, named James Durbin top male vocalist for two years in a row in 2009 and 2010 in its band Olympics.

Since his auditions many viewers have compared James with Adam Lambert because of his vocal range and his rocker edge.
