For reasons I couldn’t quite put my finger on, I was out of sorts all day. Something wasn’t right. Paris still going to jail? Check. Lindsay’s mom still an attention seeking coattail rider? Check. K-Fed still worthless? Check. So why the ominous feeling that something was about to go terribly wrong? I just shook it […]

Tonight’s installment of Idol featured four stellar performances (all of Melinda’s and Blake’s version of “This Love”), four that were very good (all of Jordin’s and Mr. Lewis’ “When I Get You Alone”), and one that was just better than average (Blake’s “Roxanne”). So with no major missteps to speak of, who gets to […]

Scientologist Leah Remini has been busy talking about the end of her sit-com the King of Queens and of course Scientology. An excerpt of an interview with People Magazine is so convincing in brushing off the aggressiveness of Scientology:
There were lots of questions in the press when you were first spotted hanging out with […]

Former American Idol contestant, LaKisha Jones, has a memory to last a lifetime, a kiss from Simon Cowell. After her exit from the show, she gushed to People Magazine,
He is a good kisser and I would do it again.”
“His lips were really soft and thin. “
She also says that after her dismissal, he told […]

Well, things went the way they should have on Idol tonight. However, I do want to say that LaKisha will be missed. As I have mentioned before, the talent this year dwarfs past seasons, so when someone leaves, it’s sad because you know that they are talented. Any other year that contestant could easily have […]

I’m nervous for Melinda Doolittle. Oh, don’t get me wrong. I thought she sounded great on this week’s Bee Gees themed show. Her renditions of “Love You Inside and Out” and “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” were great. In fact, Only Jordin’s “To Love Somebody” came close to Mindy’s level, as both Blake […]

First Celine digs up Elvis for that creepy duet on Idol, and now it seems as though Britney Spears is considering a duet with sexy icon Marilyn Monroe. Brit’s old pal, Lance Bass, owns the rights to an old Marilyn song, and he has offered Britney a chance to sing with the dead star ala […]

Dear Gina,
Fame. It is a fickle friend, indeed. One minute you’re belting out “The Boys Are Back in Town” on national television while Simon leers at your cleavage, the next you’re being dragged out of a Florida bar after throwing a glass at another patron. Seems far fetched, […]

Well, another results show of American Idol has come and gone, and with it two more crooners have politely been asked to vacate the premises. This week’s casualties were Phil Stacey (deserved) and Chris Richardson (not). Though I am disappointed to see Chris leave, I confess that I am also pretty excited when I look […]

Didn’t the infamous Sanjaya say something about talking about “something other than hair?” Well, from Jordin’s over-done ‘do (i think i saw Haley Scarnato hiding in there) to Blake’s sinister black locks, hair certainly had a large role in this week’s Bon-Jovi themed episode.
As for the singing, overall there were some pretty […]

American Idol is not making it easy for me to be a viewer. First Sanjaya suspiciously got voted off, and the fun ended. Now on this week’s special charity night, “Idol Gives Back,” Celine Dion is going to sing with the ghost of Elvis! Idol teased viewers by saying that “two of […]

Former American Idol contestant and miraculous Oscar-winner for Dreamgirls, Jennifer Hudson, is reportedly getting married. Is it because she’s head-over-heels in love? Not necessarily. It’s because she promised her maintenance-engineer boyfriend of eight years, James Peyton, that she would marry him when her career got off the ground. A source said […]

The opening of Saturday Night Live last night was a parody of Sanjaya singing “Something to Talk About” with Scarlett Johansson. It’s really hilarious!

When you kill someone, your life gets complicated. Such is the case with singer Brandy who made it official that she won’t be back for another season of America’s Got Talent. Her spokeswoman Courtney Barnes said,
Brandy has enjoyed her association with the program. However, she felt she couldn’t give the new season […]

Sanjaya is back in real-life away from American Idol, but now he has to adapt to being ridiculously famous. How’s he doing that? He’s in the process of hiring a bodyguard. I don’t blame the kid. He seems really whimpy - in a puppy-dog sort of way - and I’d worry […]
