Jordin's still giddy, but now she's sleepy

Taking questions from reporters yesterday, energetic American Idol winner Jordin Sparks was finally showing some signs of strain after a whirlwind season of the talent competition. Her voice was hoarse and she even yawned a few times. But she has good reason to be sluggish: Sparks said she was only able to get two hours of sleep since the Idol finale on Wednesday night.

During the call she talked about her plans for the future. Her album is likely to be a mixed bag of pop, country and R&B, she said. And she doesn't expect to change -- physical or mentally -- now that she's famous. "Oh that super thin stuff, Hollywood needs to get over it," she said.

Asked what she was going to do when she returned home to Arizona, Sparks blurted out with no hesitation: "Sleep in my own bed."
