(Well, other than ‘My Darling Clementine.’) It also came out at the right time — or at the very least, at not the wrong time. Kevin Costner’s ‘Wyatt Earp’ film was released in theaters just six months after ‘Tombstone.’ Costner would have had a better chance of beating Doc ...

After years of rockers getting the short end of the “Idol” stick, David Cook broke the genre’s bad luck streak in 2008 by trumping another David (Archuleta) in the finale. Cook’s self-titled debut album followed (a No. 3 debut on the Billboard 200), which placed two singles on ...
