Jordin Sparks celebrates her boyfriend Steph Jones‘ birthday at Castle Ivar on Friday night (July 3) in Los Angeles.

Looks like Jordin got quite the show at the party. Steph stripped down to his tank top and worked a pole dance for the crowd, which included Jordin’s fellow American Idol contestant Blake Lewis.

During the party, Jordin sang Happy Birthday to Steph, who wore a red Michael Jackson Thriller-esque jacket.

FYI: Steph is the younger brother of comedian DeRay Davis.

Sorry Blaker Girls, looks like your man is taken!

Earlier this month, Blake, 26, disclosed he has already recorded six songs for his upcoming album, out end of 2007.

“I try not to be put in a box,” he said. “I’m inspired by everything. I’ve got six tracks done. I’ve got a track that’s very Erasure-sounding, a track that’s Sting-meets-Neverending Story and a track that’s very electro-poppy Depeche Mode. It’s all over the map.”

Chris Richardson and Blake Lewis, aka CAKE, kick off the 56-date and 35-state American Idols Live tour at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, FL, on Friday night.

“Being able to see my fans’ faces and shake their hands. Live performance like that is really the only way that you can really see them all or see as many of them that can come,” Sanjaya said.

American Idol runner-up Blake Lewis is all smiles as he poses with his fans and carries his own luggage into his NYC hotel on Monday.

“I’m kind of glad I didn’t win for, like, contractual reasons,” Blake told People. “I think if you’re first you might have to come back for like three years or something.”

Hot on the heels of Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson and successful rocker Chris Daughtry, Blake is on the fast track to becoming Idol’s next successful “loser.”

“I think we suffer from Jennifer Hudson- and Chris Daughtry-itis, which is people who didn’t win getting great careers and now a lot of the contestants believed it absolutely doesn’t matter,” Simon Cowell has told Entertainment Weekly. “Sometimes there’s part of me thinking, ‘You genuinely couldn’t care less what we’re got to say; everything’s going your own way now.’”

Will Blake Lewis surpass Jordin Sparks in record sales… and even fame?
