A former American Idol hopeful is getting a second shot at stardom.
Alex Lambert, the shy but stirring vocalist who saw his Idol dreams dashed earlier this season, has joined the cast of If I Can Dream, the online series from Idol creator Simon Fuller that debuted on the web earlier this month. Alex will now be a part of what 19 Entertainment calls a “talent discovery platform.”
The show follows five young people — three actors, a musician, and a model — living under one roof and hoping for success in a City of Big Dreams; Hollywood. Their lives are followed not only on the weekly program, but by a daily live stream on ificandream.com as each struggles to accomplish their goals.
If I Can Dream — which also features Miley Cyrus’ former flame Justin Gaston — airs online on Hulu.com as well as If I Can Dream.com
