Paula Abdul Promises She’s Heading Back To TV
Good news for Paula Abdul fans going into severe Paula-withdrawal. The
former-American Idol judge dropped heavy hints this morning that she'll
be returning to a small screen near you soon. On this morning's Johnnjay
and Rich Show, Paula said that her next project would involve a return
to her roots and TV. Paula wouldn't give specifics, but when asked for a clue on her next project she responded, "Drop a clue? Oh, I'm gonna be going back to my roots and doing a TV show that has something to do with my roots."
‘American Idol’ Roundup: Danny’s Wishes, Danelle’s Probation, and Kara Stripping Down
It's Thursday night in American Idol land. Ellen's through with her first week on the show, we've seen many of our favorites go, and there's a lot of stuff to talk about. As always, that brings us to today's news roundup, featuring Danelle Hayes' bad luck, Danny Gokey's wishes, and Kara DioGuardi stripping down. Yes, that headline was correct. Ellen DeGeneres Gives Her Take on Rumored Feud with Simon Cowell, And…
Expect Ellen DeGeneres to defuse a potentially explosive situation with her skewed take on things. So what about those rumors of tensions between her and Simon Cowell on the American Idol set? What feud? There's no feud, Ellen insists...Interview with ‘American Idol’ Judge Kara Dioguardi
Yesterday I had the chance to chat with American Idol judge Kara
Dioguardi as part of a conference call hyping Hollywood Week and the
arrival of Ellen DeGeneres. Kara's excitement of not being the new kid
at the judge's table was palpable as she chatted about Ellen's arrival
and refused to talk about Paula's departure. While all Abdul related topics were off-limits, Kara happily chatted about American Idol's newest judge, her hopes of a girl winning season 9, and Didi Benani's choice to cover one of her songs. Kara was also quick to dispel rumors of an Ellen and Simon feud, reminding reporters, "I think you have to take any rumor you hear about American Idol with a grain of salt." But that didn't stop Kara from giving a serious answer (and smack down) when it came to reports that Howard Stern might be the next American Idol judge. Here's what Kara had to say about season 9, rumors and all.
We Were Just Joking: Conan Considered for Simon Cowell’s ‘Idol’ Replacement?
Did FOX read our "Five People We'd Rather See Judge 'Idol' Than Howard
Stern" piece? If the rumor du jour of Conan O'Brien replacing Simon
Cowell is to be believed, perhaps. According to Perez Hilton (another
person we recommended for Simon's replacement) FOX is interested in
everyone's favorite unemployed ginger joining American Idol as a judge. According to an anonymous inside FOX source, "Idol bosses think he'd be a huge draw now after all that Leno fuss." We think (and hope) this rumor is a joke. Other than having a house band for his show and hosting musical guests, Conan has nothing to do with the music industry and one lay-person and comedian's opinion on the judge's panel is enough. Sure he played a fine guitar on "Freebird" during the last Tonight Show, but that does not a music expert make.
American Idol: Are The Group Performances Still Necessary?
Dear American Idol,I don't usually watch audition episodes. You know that. You know that I don't like watching train wrecks, delusional fame seekers, and excessive sob stories. That's why I was so happy that we finally got to the Hollywood episodes. At least the people there are the better ones. If there's a train wreck, it's nerves. If there's drama flaring, it's because they're so close and yet so far away. That, I can tolerate.
First Impressions of Ellen: Surprisingly, You Should Take Her Seriously
Ellen DeGeneres' first week as American Idol judge: done.It feels like just yesterday when Ellen was announced as Paula Abdul's permanent replacement on the show. I remember going, "oh, great, it's Ellen!" Suddenly Simon Cowell has to deal with a whole new set of wit, and who knows what possibilities that could unleash.
American Idol: Hooray For Hollywood, Live Thoughts (Page 1/2)
Grab your popcorn kiddos, because tonight Hollywood Week is going to
take a turn to the dramatic. If last night was all about laughter, tonight's grueling group challenge is sure to be filled with the opposite: drama, tears, egos, and eventually a little bit of singing and dancing.
You can pretty much guarantee we'll witness all of the following: cat fights, lots and lots of crying, a diva melt down, terrible group names (White Chocolate, anyone?), at least one group performance you wish you could buy on iTunes right now, and the crumbling of no less than one pre-season front runner. (Oh wait, that happened last night....we miss you Justin Williams.) Group week all but promises to bring out the best and the worst of American Idol and tonight you'll be treated to both.
Watch along with me as we witness 96 singers vying for the title of American Idol attempt to work together, to varying degrees of success. We'll be here recapping the good, bad, and the ugly for you. So drag your TV close to your computer and watch along with me as Hollywood Week continues and we get one step closer to the Top 24 and finding the next American Idol.
‘American Idol’ Roundup: (Almost) Everybody Hates Howard, But Not the Coke Glasses
This week's biggest American Idol story: Howard Stern as a guest judge. He says he'd love to, the producers say there are no plans, and everybody seems to not like the decision--well, almost everybody, because the fans would love it. That's how we kick off tonight's American Idol roundup, with contributions from Conan O'Brien and those Coke cups.
