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.
Twilight star Robert Pattinson has faced challenges in his brief career, but getting into bed with Uma Thurman for next role in the film “Bel Ami” was his most “disturbing.” The 23-year old confesses in a new interview that he finds Thurman, intimidating and says the shoot will be “kind of disturbing.” Thurman, who turns 40 in April and is 17 years Rob’s senior, is one of Hollywood’s leading ladies, although she lives in New York with two children. She is a veteran actress, and is best known for her role in Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction’ and “Kill Bill” (2003–2004). In the adaptation of French author Guy de Maupassant’s 19th Century novel, Pattinson will also romp with Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott-Thomas.

President Barack Obama's meeting with congressional Republicans in Baltimore on Friday provided a remarkable glimpse into relations between the president and the GOP. Republicans complained that Obama and the Democratic leadership hadn't taken a serious look at their policy proposals. Obama complained that Republicans were often more focused on scoring political points than in solving problems. Obama challenged their facts and, during an exchange with Rep. Jeb Hensarling, said, "I am happy to have any independent fact-checker out there take a look at your presentation versus mine in terms of the accuracy of what I just said." We accept. We've ... >>More

With his party reeling from the loss of a Senate seat in Massachusetts and doubts increasing about whether he'll be able to pass his health care plan, President Barack Obama challenged Congress -- and the nation -- to put aside partisanship and tackle the difficult problems facing the country. "Rather than fight the same tired battles that have dominated Washington for decades, it's time for something new," he said, according to his prepared remarks. "Let's try common sense. Let's invest in our people without leaving them a mountain of debt. Let's meet our responsibility to the people who sent us here." ... >>More
A Na’vi love making session between stars Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington never made it into blockbuster movie, “Avatar.” But the deleted scene and others will be included in a special edition DVD that will make seeing the film a must, all over again. The James Cameron directed “Avatar” has grossed more than $1 billion worldwide, and could challenge the biggest grossing film of all time, Cameron’s “Titanic” before all is said and done. But “Titanic” had some help from steamy sex scenes between stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslett, who also appeared nude in the film.
