Tonight was the Top 8 girls performances on American Idol and Jax all but guaranteed her performance would be memerable by wearing “The Dress” that took the internet (and the recesses of my brain) by storm last week!

American Idol alum Justin Guarini, who was runner up to Kelly Clarkson in the first season of the hit competition singing show, is going through a rough time. Just last Sunday he appeared on Oprah’s Where Are They Now Show describing how hard it was to experience failure after achieving pretty massive success in the world of pop music. He also took to his website this week to vent about his family not always having enough food to eat, and being terrified of his financial situation. After People magazine and other sites picked up his blog posting, he deleted it and complained on Twitter. “Obviously you completely missed the point of my letter @peoplemag,” he tweeted. “News isn’t news anymore, and I’m nowhere near poverty. #twistedmytruth’.”

Keep reading for some of the harsh comments and a statement from Mariah’s rep insisting she was indeed singing. (Video included in case you missed it!)
Nicki Minaj signed on to be a judge for American Idol just before their current season began airing, joining fellow R&B diva Mariah Carey. The two personalities didn’t mesh well to say the least, and many fans feel that their non-stop feuding has taken away from the mission of the show — which is to find America’s top singer, not be a reality show about drama between the judges. With the show’s ratings at an all-time low, producers are feeling the pressure to make a change, and it appears that Nicki Minaj won’t be returning next season.

Matt has since issued a rather lengthy statement in which he cops to lying and apologizes for his actions.

When asked by Mariah Carey about his speech disorder the Naples, Florida resident said coping was like a “rollercoaster.” See his inspiring performance of “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”
Sometimes I just have to write these bad rascals up because of the wonderful pop name associations. I figured the opportunity may never come again to refer to Nicki Minaj, Steven Tyler and Bob Dylan in the same post so I better get to it before the times they start a changing. Tyler called out Minaj using Dylan as a reference and Nicki fired back via Twitter calling Tyler a racist based on his statements. Get the blow by blow that was blowing in the wind and find out why both Tyler and Minaj were way off base with their assumptions.

Mariah Carey’s first promo photo for her $18 million American Idol season looks a little — photoshopped.

They chiseled at her waist…

Houston, we don’t have a problem! The pretty gal you see is Miss Skylar Laine from Brandon, Mississippi. She’s a down home southern girl with a country twang and a Broadway background. She’s also a songwriter and has what you might consider to be an unhealthy Miranda Lambert obsession. I thought I’d put together a few pics and her bio as well as a couple of videos in one place so you can get a good idea of who Skylar is and decide for yourself if you think she’s got a chance to become the next American Idol.
Fox’s standard bearer for competition reality shows, American Idol, kicks off its 11th season tonight at 8/7c and will air on Wednesday and Thursday nights for the next few months. But, starting February 5, it won’t be alone as NBC’s The Voice will begin its 2nd season right after the Super Bowl. (After the premiere, The Voice will air every Monday night.) Could this be the beginning of the end of Idol, or is this an overly bold move by NBC? And let us know know which show you will be tuned into by taking our poll!
The real winner from American Idol Pia Toscano was spotted out with Dancing With the Stars’ Mark Ballas over the weekend doing a little retail therapy at the Grove in Hollywood. Previous reports stated they were only together briefly but they sure looked happy together and also did a little flirting via Twitter. So are they possibly an item again?
Bonus: See Pia knock out a version of The National Anthem as she had the great honor of singing at the National Memorial Day Concert at Washington D.C..
On what should have been her night to shine, the prematurely rejected Pia Toscano was in attendance for the America Idol finale last night looking flawless as usual in a sparkly white textured mini-dress with some (tasteful) see-through lace.
(WARNING – Post contains vast amounts of Pia fan bitterness. Alfred E. Newman fans need not proceed.)
Since winning season 6 of American Idol Jordin Sparks has went on to prove the judges right. She has the highest selling single, “No Air” of any AI contestant and she’s also made a well received debut on Broadway with In The Heights. With all of this success I guess there wasn’t much else for our girl to do but slim down and blast Twitter-space with a “fruity pebbles” themed bikini bod pic. Check out a slimmed down Jordin as she gives us all a little peak at some tasty lookin’ breakfast. Yabba Dabba Do!
After Pia Toscano’s egregious early dismissal I swore I wasn’t going to bother with anything American Idol for the rest of the season, but all it took was one name to knock me off my high horse (or high stone pony as it were):
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
That’s right,The Boss himself was on the set of American Idol this week to help mentor the remaining contestants. Keep reading to find out how Bruce is connected to someone on the show dating back to the early 1970s and read my theory as to why he was really there!
It’s hard to still watch American Idol this season but if Pia Toscano (her ouster being the reason for the difficulty) can do it than I guess I can too. See her just tweeted kind words to the remaining 8 competitors.
The Piaparazzi were in tow as Ms. Toscano made the rounds in New York City earlier today that included an appearance on Regis and Kathy Lee as well as visits to the studios of The Today Show and MTV! In these photos Pia can be seen in a stylish black overcoat, black mini-skirt and a ruffled blue-on-blue polka dot top. In other words… Piawesome!
PLUS – Read my completely unfounded rumor involving Pia, Glee and Rachel’s long-lost older sister!
Adding more fire to the theory that being shockingly voted off American Idol was the best thing to happen to Pia Toscano we now have news that the singing sensation has went on a celeb date with Dancing With the Stars‘ Mark Ballas! Read on for the complete break down of how this celeb matchmaking happened including the middle-man involvement of a professional wrestler.
Pia Toscano’s tearful reaction to her shocking elimination from America Idol Thursday night may have been short-lived because she was reportedly approached that night about signing a record deal with Interscope Records – a deal that is close to being finalized! Could it be that getting booted from AI was the best thing that could have happened to the young star? Could she have a number one album by the time the show’s finale airs? We think yes!
While the rest of the world is in a blind rage at Pia Toscano’s incredulous eviction from American Idol last night after a stunning and powerful rendition of “River Deep, Mountain High,” Pia herself was all smiles as she was spotted out and about in Los Angeles earlier today. This confirms that Pia is a good sport in addition to being the most talented singer on Season 10 of American Idol.
GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Nooooooooooooooooooo! America has voted off Pia Toscano. I’m devistated and surprisingly the judges adequately expressed my disbelief with arguably the most shocking elimination in American Idol’s history
People doubted if Pia Toscano could handle her own with an up-tempo song. Well check out video and photographic proof that our early pick as a favorite owned “River Deep Mountain High” as the American Idol front-runner took her turn at Tina Turner!
American Idol front-runner and Starcasm’s forecasted star Pia Toscano has shown the first kink in her singing armor as judges and fans are looking for her to go with a song selection other than a ballad. I say BACK OFF because Pia has now created an entirely new pop culture phenomenon; The Backdoor Intentional Quasi Photo Bomb! Read on for the explanation that involves Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard and a misplaced husband drop.
Watch 20-year-old Casey Adams perform a version of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” from the American Idol Top 12 show earlier tonight. The judges seemed to like it, but it left my eardrums a little bloody and I can’t help but think ol Kurt Cobain rolled over in his grave a little. Keep reading to watch the video and judge for yourself!
