Stars are clamoring to replace Simon Cowell at the American Idol judges table, but is America’s favorite “shock jock” really one of them?
Howard Stern, 56, is the Idol producers’ top choice to replace Cowell, according to The New York Post. The Sirius radio host’s hefty contract expires next year and Stern recently said on-air he had been approached by a [...]
I have a question, kids: is there a good way to remove a song out of your head? Throughout the day I’ve been hearing one thing: “I’m a beautiful man flower, I keep blossoming and blossoming…” okay, sorry about that. Here’s yourAmerican Idol roundup, then, featuring a fighting Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood on the big screen, and that [...]
“American Idol” winner Carrie Underwood is taking her acting career to the big screen.
The Grammy winner has landed a role in her first feature film, “Soul Surfer,” reportsVariety.
It’s a smaller part though, just playing a church youth leader. The film centers on the real-life story of teen surfing champ Bethany Hamilton (AnnaSophia Robb), who lost [...]
The Adam Lambert/ABC controversy is one of those things that makes zero sense to me. If you recall, after Lambert kissed a dude and briefly simulated oral sex with someone in his band on the American Music Awards, ABC freaked out and started banning him from their shows.

If it’s not the train wrecks (good morning, Crazy Accordion Lady) or the angry people (good morning, Andrew Fenlon), it’s the sob stories (good morning, Chris Golightly). It does get to you after a while, especially when you’re itching [...]

Remember those rumors of Paula Abdulbeing wooed to join The X Factor? Simon apparently told her that over there, things would be more peaceful and less tense than the American Idolset. That’s one thought you might want to keep in mind as you read today’s Idolroundup, including a possible feud between Simon and Ellen–and fake feuds, and actual tears. [...]
Back in June, I was talking to a friend of mine who live in Dallas. She’s the sort who uploads YouTube videos of herself singing. I told her American Idol will be holding auditions where she is, and encouraged her to join, since she’s long wished to be part of the show. Unfortunately, she didn’t join–she [...]
Ellen DeGeneres, talk show host extraordinaire and ”American Idol” judge, turns 52 Tuesday (Jan. 26).
Happy Birthday!
DeGeneres is such a spry 52, and if her lumbago doesn’t flare up, we hope to see her boogie-ing up and down the aisles of her talk show for many more years to come.
In her 52 years on the earth, DeGeneres has [...]
