Last we heard of fifth season American Idol winner Taylor Hicks, he was bounding around Hawaii with a Milwaukee news anchor who may or may not have been his girlfriend-for-hire. Thankfully, he's moving onto greener pastures: Hicks has just signed on to make his Broadway debut as "Teen Angel" in a revival of Grease. (Hicks joins Clay Aiken in the illustrious roster of Idol contestants who wind up stunt-cast on the Great White Way.)

Now it's been a while since we've seen the show, but we recall that Teen Angel is only featured in one scene. Probably not enough to set "Soul Patrol" hearts aflutter! Still, it's a set up from his previous gig, which was playing shows for "30-something yuppies" in random Southeast Asian shopping malls.

Hicks was dropped earlier this year by Sony BMG for lackluster album sales.
