The power duo came to The Grove in Los Angeles for an interview with Mario Lopez of Extra.

Mario asked Shannon, “Which is your all-time favorite episode of Family Jewels?” Shannon jokingly replied: “All of them because we get to make fun of Gene!”

A fan had a very important question for the couple. She asked them: “Would getting married ruin your relationship?” As you can see in the picture above, Gene chuckled out loud “Ohohohoho!” Shannon, on the other hand said: “I think getting married would be really great for us but I may be alone in my thoughts!”

Family Jewels airs Sundays on A&E 9/8c.

Lifehouse Performs Live – Watch Video and Exclusive Photos

Jason Wade and Rick Woolstenhulme Jr. of Lifehouse played two songs live (watch them below) at The Grove in Los Angeles as part of their interview with Mario Lopez of Extra.

A fan asked what inspired the band’s first hit, “Hanging by a Moment”and Jason said, “That is one of those rare songs where my mind was kind of just disconnected. I wasn’t really looking to write a song. I was doing a vocal for another song and this melody was stuck in my head. So, I took five minutes off and went and picked up a guitar. And it was almost like I channeled the song from another place. I had the lyrics, the bridge, everything finished in like seven minutes. So, I find that sometimes you write your best songs when you’re not over thinking it.”

Lifehouse is currently on their Smoke & Mirror tour with Kris Allen and you can find their tour dates below.

Kris Allen’s Most Embarrassing Tour Story – And Live Performance – Video And Exclusive Photos

Kris Allen, winner of American Idol Season 8, came to The Grove in Los Angeles for a live performance of his new single, “Alright with Me.”

Kris also spoke with Mario Lopez of Extra and told him he is now touring with Lifehouse. Kris’ interview should be broadcast on Extra soon.

Speaking of touring, Kris recently told MTV’s Jim Cantiello about his most embarrassing tour story which happened last summer, somewhere in Pennsylvania.

Kris said: One night he must have been sleepwalking as he stepped out of his hotel room and was only woken up by the sound of the room door slamming shut behind him.   The story would not be so bad had Kris not gone to bed in the buff that night.

So, there he was, totally naked in the hallway of a hotel room. He finally found a phone and asked the hotel clerk to come open his door for him, which the clerk did, but in the process, the clerk got to see a whole lot of Kris.  Kris laughs, “Man parts are not meant to be seen out in the open!”


Here is Kris Allen performing an acoustic version of “Alright with Me:”
