Crystal Bowersox: Blushing Bride

Crystal Bowersox: Blushing Bride

She’s had quite a year, thanks to her runner-up gig on “American Idol.” And now Crystal Bowersox can add one more title to her resume- wife.

The hippie chick songstress got hitched to her fiancé Brian Walker in a small intimate ceremony in Chicago, Illinois on Sunday (October 10).

Crystal told press, "Our lives have never made more sense than they do right now. I can't believe how incredibly lucky we are to have found so much laughter, love, and light within each other. We're one happy WalkerSox family."

From here, Crystal is planning on returning to the studio where she’ll continue working on her major label debut album. (Hollywood Gossip)

Crystal Bowersox: Stop Hating My Ex!

Just a few hours before she took took the stage for the American Idol finale in May, Crystal Bowersox and her boyfriend broke up.

In an extensive interview with the August issue of Redbook, the singer wants to make one thing very clear: don't point any fingers at her ex, Tony.

"I want to make clear how amazing, kind, and generous a person he is, and that he truly considers my son his son and little Tony loves him," Crystal said. "He's been there since my son was about 3 months old. And in a lot of ways, he's the perfect man; he really is.

"But ultimately, we both knew it wasn't going to work out, considering the different lives we were leading. And it's better to come to that realization than to have an unhappy relationship. Mommy and Daddy need to be happy in order for baby to be happy."

Bowersox, who fell to Lee DeWyze in the finals of the competition, touched on a number of other topics, as well. To wit:

On almost quitting Idol: I did go talk to Ryan [Seacrest] at one point because he works 24/7 and I knew he would understand. He gave me the best advice: He said the best thing I could ever do was work hard enough now so I could take care of my family. And it's true. Sometimes you have to work really hard and make sacrifices so you can provide for the people you love.

On her hospitalization: You want to forget you're diabetic for a while, and maybe you don't watch yourself as well as you should. I ended up getting sick in March, and they told me I was off the show. I wasn't going to take that. I begged, I screamed, I pleaded. I said, 'I want to meet with the head honchos. I need this so bad for my kid. I'll go home if I'm voted off, but not because of this.' That's the one time I threw a huge fit, and thankfully, they gave in.

We were big fans of Crystal throughout the show and we wish her the best of luck. (thehollywoodgossip)

American Idol winner rocks with RAYMOND WEIL style

As Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox competed for the renowned title of this year's American Idol, the final two contestants along with third place contestant, Casey James, chose to rock in style with RAYMOND WEIL timepieces.

American Idol winner, DeWyze, wears the RAYMOND WEIL Freelancer series, which is also featured in the national advertising campaign. The stainless steel, 42 mm in diameter, automatic chronograph on a brown leather strap retails for $2,750.

Runner-up, Crystal Bowersox, chose Noemia (the collection named after Weil's grand daughter) as her watch of choice. The delicate and sleek time piece in polished stainless steel on a black leather strap has a black mother-of-pearl dial and 64 diamonds on the case.

Third place rocker, Casey James, felt the Don Giovanni Cosi Grande tank-style watch on a black leather strap was more attuned to his style.

RAYMOND WEIL, both nationally and internationally, has created a strong presence in the arts, with a direct tie to music. As a sponsor of the 2010 Brit Awards, RAYMOND WEIL takes pride in the support of new and emerging artists within the music industry with their mantra being "Independence is a state of mind." American Idol was the perfect opportunity for RAYMOND WEIL to further equate the brand with the music industry, particularly in the U.S. market.

Core lines from the brand are also named after acclaimed operas and have other musical tie-ins and references. Within the men's collections, the Nabucco series is named for Verdi's opera and the Don Giovanni after Mozart. More specifically, the Nabucco Va, Pensiero style is named after the fourth act of well-known opera.
