This week, I bumped into Alex Lambert and Giglianne from If I Can Dream at my neighborhood Target.

Dream is a new web series from Simon Fuller (American Idol) that chronicles the lives of 6 aspiring entertainers as they hone their crafts in a house that’s rigged with a bajillion video cameras. These cameras broadcast the housemates’ activity live – even when they’re sleeping! With the vast amount of coverage that the show shares, I was surprised to find Alex and Gig shopping without a crew behind them.

Alex’s premature elimination from Idol sent a shockwave through the Idolverse this season, and his passionate fans seem stoked that Fuller has offered him a second chance to foster his singing career on-camera.

Gig, meanwhile, is looking to make a name for herself in the high fashion modeling world. Currently, there’s a showmance blooming between herself and a fellow castmate, but it looks like she’s got a fixed focus on her career.

After pausing for a pic, Alex and Gig filled me in on their Dream house experience thus far. When I asked if they’d had any recent auditions, Gig shared that she’s been shooting with a solid photographer and Alex expressed how anxious he is to brainstorm with some notable songwriters. If you thought Big Brother gave you an unprecedented view of reality star activity, what do you think of the access you get on the Dream site? Intriguing? Invasive? Both?
