  • 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!

  • 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.”

    The two Jonas Brothers who are age-eligible to vote, Kevin and Joe, recently registered thanks to newlywed Ellen DeGeneres and Declare Yourself. The 50-year old talk show host finds this year’s election to be hugely important which is why she’s committed to a partnership with Declare Yourself during the month of September where they’ll be registering people at show tapings. On the day that her show taped the fall premiere, 20-year old Kevin and 19-year old Joe were two of the first voter registrants. You can either head to Ellen’s studio or make your own effort to declare yourself. And remember, vote wisely!

  • Mariah Carey plans to wed once a year

    Mariah Carey plans to wed once a year


    For most women their wedding day is the best day of their lives. Singular; “day”. But not Mariah Carey, because she plans to repeat her wedding annually.

    The ‘Touch My Body’ singer and new husband Nick Cannon, who wed in a secret ceremony in April, plan to tie the knot once a year.

    She said: “Nick’s plan is to have one wedding every year. I think instead of trying to be like, ‘You’re invited, but shhh, don’t tell anybody’, we’re just going to have another wedding next year.”

    Mariah, 38, admits there were more hairdressers and stylists than guests at her wedding. She told US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: “It was mostly attended by people who were responsible for my hair and people helping me with the dress. There were only three of my friends and Nick had three people with him. There weren’t a lot of people taking pictures!”

    The pop superstar, who is divorced from music mogul Tommy Mottola, believes she has found her soulmate in Nick – who she first met on the video for her new single ‘Bye Bye’.

    Echoing Nick’s half-brother Reuben Cannon’s insistence the couple will have children soon, Mariah said: “I always said if I found the right person who I felt would be on the same page as me in term of raising kids and having the same belief system, we’d have kids. I’ve always had a weird thing about it because my parents divorced when I was three and I didn’t have many examples of what was the ‘norm’.”
