  • Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres in an all out war

    The guys from American Idol really do have their work cut out for them. After some minor complaints about Simon Cowell being late for work, something he most probably is not used to since he’s usually the boss, Ellen DeGeneres is now in an all out war with the Earl of Exigency and they are no longer speaking with each other. This is what a source said about the crisis: “There’s two camps on the show this season. It’s a lot more tense than previous seasons. It seems as if Ellen has decided to try to take control since Simon is on his way out and that’s created problems.” The producers of American Idol could make this work to their advantage, though. Just imagine the ratings if Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres are “persuaded” to resolve their differences during a sing-off. Now that would be something everybody would want to see!

  • Katy Perry’s career value

    Is not very high, at least not to her eyes it seems. The singer recently admitted that she would very gladly give up her career just to be a judge on American Idol. This is what Katy Perry said on the matter: “The ‘American Idol’ experience was awesome. If I was offered that job as a permanent host, I would ditch my career and take on that career. It’s such a fun, easy thing. I mean, I guess the pressure gets really on when you start eliminating the number of people that are going through until you’ve got the final two. So that can be kind of tense and stressful, but otherwise it’s kind of like judging a talent show.” Well, Katy Perry must have really made a good impression with her judging skills from her recent experience. Everybody would probably love to have her in the judges’ box and certainly no one will ever lose the contest on her watch.

  • Male American Idol contestant gets flirty with Simon Cowell

    SPL96172_005

    Simon Cowell was almost lost for words as a flirty male American Idol contestant asked him to get on top of him.

    The show, now in its ninth season, hit Los Angeles for more auditions with guest judges Avril Lavigne, dressed in a horned-hoodie, and Katy Perry, wearing a revealing pink dress.

    And things got a little awkward for Cowell when a raunchy male contestant followed up a flamboyant singing/dancing audition with some flirtatious comments.

    Wannabe singer Jason Greene ended his over-the-top – and rather literal – performance of I Touch Myself on the floor, and the judges jokingly asked him to stay there while they gave comments.

    “Want to come down and join me?” he asked a shocked Cowell.

    “No,” barked the Brit, as the other judges laughed.

    “Please … Do you want to spend a little bit of time on me?” added the contestant, before acknowledging he may have gone too far.

    A gobsmacked Katy Perry said: “I feel dirty … and it takes a lot for me to feel dirty!”

    The contestant was rejected and eventually left – after putting on an over-the-top dance routine on his way out and handing presenter Ryan Seacrest his phone number.

  • Michael Johns to Perform on The Ellen DeGeneres Show

    Former American Idol finalist, MICHAEL JOHNS will be performing his new single “Heart on My Sleeve” on The Ellen DeGeneres Show next Monday, May 25th. The Aussie vocalist will be releasing his first post-Idol solo album, Hold Back My Heart on June 23rd. Encouraged by his mentor David Foster, who invited Johns to appear on his star-studded David Foster And Friends PBS special in December 2008, Johns chose the road less traveled, and for the first time in his adult life, went to work on an album with no deal in place. “Foster always said that the secret of his success is to look at whatever lane is open in the music industry and take it,” Johns recalls. “And the way my record combines old and new, I could open for Alicia Keys one night and John Mayer the next, it’s right in the middle.” Songwriter Diane Warren, who penned the knee-buckling ballad “Heart Is Weak,” was another key endorsement. “There’s nothing more validating than having these heavyweights behind you,” says Johns. “It’s like screw winning American Idol when people like David Foster and Diane Warren are saying you have the real thing here.”

    With an album completed and ready to turn in, Johns had the rare freedom to shop it around, and when Downtown Records, home to Gnarls Barkley, Cold War Kids and Santigold, showed interest in a licensing deal, he jumped at the opportunity to finally control his own fate. “I think we’re in the most exciting period of music ever, because there’s so many ways to do it,” he says. And like most of his plans thus far, Johns is thinking big for his future. “The live show is going to be great,” he says excitedly. “I might even take it old school with different bands in different towns — almost like what Chuck Berry and all those guys used to do.”

    Tune in to see Michael Johns on The Ellen DeGeneres Show next Monday, May 25th. Check your local listings for times.

  • Danny Gokey’s scream defense

    The American Idol contestant recently shared his own impressions regarding his now famous Aerosmith scream. Danny Gokey said: “I listened to it back, and I have to say, I laughed the whole night. … My own aunt muted the TV. I heard people were making ringtones. … I think it’s my funniest moment on American Idol, is that note. … I definitely made a name for myself … I think it’ll be in movies pretty soon.” Yes, I can see it all right now. “Scream” will no longer be the trademark of a famous thriller movie, but the exciting story of the rise of a star: Danny Gokey’s moment of fame. Well, lucky for him he’ll get the chance to dazzle everyone once more next week… who knows, maybe he’ll even scream Adam Lambert out of the competition.

  • Adam Lambert breaks the meter:


    The American Idol contestant apparently soared through the idol meter this week due to his rendition of “The Tracks of my Tears” by Smokey Robinson. But then again that was the judges’ assessment too so it’s no big surprise. It looks like Adam Lambert is holding the victory torch for this week. It would be very ironical for him to trip and take a nose dive next week, but then again, that might just be what the judges are keeping up their saves for. Still there might be a slight bond forming in daddy-Cowell’s eyes for Adam Lambert… after all, the judge did call him the best performance of the night.

  • Matt Giraud steps outside of the box


    The “American Idol” contestant wowed the judges last night with his rendition of Marvin Gaye’s “Lets get it on”. Matt Giraud finally stepped out of the shadow of his piano and apparently put up a very impressive show for both the judges and the audience. Matt Giraud even managed to impress Simon Cowell who pointed out the following: “Your voice absolutely suits that song,” even though he did not neglect to mention that he found Matt Giraud’s singing directly to the judges to be corny. I guess Simon Cowell isn’t used to getting serenaded anymore. Either way, it looks like Matt Giraud really climbed saved himself for next week.

  • Jennifer Hudson Says Goodbye


    Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother and young nephew will be laid to rest this week. A private Memorial service was held for the Hudson’s family this Monday morning but there’s no news as to whether the family will have a public service. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked for any contributions to be sent to the newly created Hudson-King Domestic Violence Protection Fund, care of Seaway Bank and Trust, PO Box 19522, Chicago, Illinois, 60619. As for the suspected murderer William Balfour, he’s still being held as a person of interest in the case. Let’s hope that justice gets served soon.

  • American Idol Producer Takes Off

    nigel-lythgoe-american-idol.jpg


    American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe is off the show. The man who’s produced the show for seven seasons has reportedly taken himself off the program and will not return. No replacement has been named yet. It’s being said that Lythgoe felt that it was time for someone else to take charge. Sources say though that he’s said privately that he’s just not passionate about it anymore. However, that’s not stopping him from working on some kind of joint venture with the creator of American Idol Simon Fuller. Lythgoe apparently also wants to spend his time on ‘So You Think You Can Dance’.

  • American Idol Drama

    american-idol.jpg

    There’s more American Idol drama around even after the show is out for the season. A musicians union has filed a federal lawsuit against the producers of the show claiming that musicians were underpaid because the show’s live music was re-recorded for reruns. The lawsuit claims that the contract for the musicians working for the show says that they should be paid royalties for the rebroadcasts. The producers are required to pay 75% to musicians who appear in the original show and rehearsals as well as 10% of that pay to a union pension fund with decreasing percentages for each rebroadcast but it has not been done. The show is making tons of money, why are they trying to be cheap?

  • Losing American Idol Love

    american-idol.jpg


    Are we getting sick of American Idol? There are several things indicating that it’s the case. Even though over 29 million viewers tune in to the show every week this season, industry insiders are pretty concerned about the declines in key demographics and average total viewers. While Simon Cowell says that it’s because the contestants lack personality, the insiders are saying that it may be show fatigue. They say that hit shows, no matter how popular, usually get diminishing ratings somewhere from season 5 to 7. Idol is currently on its 7th season. Are we really over it? Is it time to pull the plug?

  • Dolly Parton on American Idol

    Dolly Parton on American Idol

    Kristy Lee Cook should be jumping for joy right now as country legend Dolly Parton will be appearing as a special guest on American Idol on Tuesday. The country crooner will be a mentor to the finalists on April 1’s show and the night will be filled with her songs. Dolly will also return on Wednesday’s results show to perform her single ‘Jesus & Gravity’, the second single from her new album ‘Backwoods Barbie’. Like I said, Kristy Lee should be jumping for joy since she sings country. To be honest, I’m interested on what David Cook will do with a country song.

  • Life After American Idol

    american-idol-melinda-doolittle.jpg

    It seems that life after American Idol can be cold – ice cream cold that it. Season 6 castoffs Melinda Doolittle and Chris Richardson are realizing that now as they two singers with barely there music careers are making ends meet by schilling ice cream as part of a Dreyer’s ice cream national promo tour at Vons, Stop & Shot and Winn-Dixie. It may not be as glamorous but there is life after Idol. The likes of Kristy Lee Cook and Ramiele Malubay can look forward to a Safeway, or a local balloon festival, or an outlet mall, or a housing development, maybe even a bingo waiting for them when they get voted off.

  • American Idol Kicks Butt

    American Idol Kicks Butt


    American Idol contestant Kristy Lee Cook may look like the sweet and sexy country gal next door but be careful. The Oregon native knows how to force a man into submission – between her legs. And no, that’s not what I meant. The Daily Courier got hold of the barely alive Idol golden girl kicking some guy’s butt. Her martial arts instructor says that she’s “feisty and cocky in the ring”. The other Idol wannabes better watch out then – hell hath no fury like a kickboxing redneck woman booted off of the show. Could you just imagine the songs that could be written for her if she was in the position of David Archuleta or David Hernandez?
