Taylor Hicks Sings For American Idol

First, our congradulations goes to those who made it to American Idol top 4 list this evening. Few very interesting things happened during the American Idol April 29, 2009. American Idol season 5 winner Taylor Hicks returned to the idol stage to sing his latest single “Seven Mile Breakdown.”

Adam is in the bottom 3 of Idol This Week on April 29. This was the evening when American Idol when from top 5 to top 4.

The biggest shock of the night as American Idol dwindled its numbers to four was not who got sent home, but who was in the Bottom 3. At this point, at least one person had to grace the stools for the first time, but this week we got two newbies.
In the end though, it was Matt who was sent home, as expected. It was only two weeks ago, Matt was in this same spot and was spared by the judge’s save. I don’t think anyone expected him to win after that, but at least we got to hear him perform a couple more times.

Meanwhile,'American Idol' Season 5 winner Taylor Hicks has gone country! Well, at least a little bit. The Alabama native, known for his blues and soul music, is reportedly shipping his new single, 'Seven Mile Breakdown,' to country radio stations next month. Listen to the song after the jump, then tell us whether you think it sounds country.

Hicks' 2006 self-titled debut album sold more than a million copies. His sophomore album, 'The Distance,' was released last month on his own label, Modern Whomp Records, after the 32-year old musician parted ways with Arista Records. 'What's Right Is Right,' the first single from his new album, made it to No. 22 on the Hot AC charts. 'Seven Mile Breakdown' is the CD's second single. Hicks will sing it live Wednesday night, as he makes a guest appearance on 'American Idol.'

And finally, guest mentor Jamie Fox performed “Blame It.” This song was so far away from this week’s theme that I am again wondering why Jamie was a mentor for Rat Pack week. I was really in the mood for more big band tunes and instead I got a plug for Jamie’s album and his movie.

kirstie alley weight gain

Here are pictures of Kirstie Alley’s weight gain. Kirstie Alley’s weight gain is Oprah’s April 30 topic.

Kirstie Alley’s recent weight gain has gotten the attention of none other than Oprah.

In February 2008, LALATE reported about how Alley announced the launch of her own weight loss company called ASK KIRSTIE.

The bulbous Kristie Alley will appear on Oprah on April 30th to talk about her generous proportions and what keeps her motivated to eat so unhealthily.

Kirstie Alley signed a three-year contract as the spokesperson for Jenny Craig in 2005. After successfully losing about 75lbs, she famously appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s show in a skimpy bikini. In the short time since her contract with Jenny Craig ended, Alley has gained back the weight. In 2008, Kirstie Alley was replaced by Valerie Bertinelli as the spokesperson for Jenny Craig.

“As for me, I am from the school of “you may not be able to reinvent the wheel but you can sure try to better it,” which has proven to be a very successful attitude for Michelin tires.

“I had not intended to make this announcement at this time, but after an online PEOPLE magazine article ran last Friday, announcing that I had stepped down as Jenny’s spokesperson, I found myself bombarded with inquiries from the media and fans. So I guess it’s as good of a time as any to announce that I intend to develop and pilot my own weight-loss brand that I hope to launch in 2009.

“The weight-loss field is wide open and not immune to new ideas and improved solutions for the fat problems that plague many of us Americans every day. I want to create something new that will help millions of people end the seemingly never ending fatty-roller coaster ride. I am especially passionate about seeing to it that our next generations are not struggling with the same weight issues that my generation has struggled with.

“There was a time when America was not fat, and that was in our not-so-distant past. I’m confident that I can create something exciting and innovative: something that if all goes well, will help change a fat America back into a fit America and will offer this country the healthiest, yummiest, easiest and most effective weight-loss program on the market.

“If not, I’ll see you at Central Casting.

“Oh, but hey, don’t “Call Kirstie” just yet. You’ll be on hold too long. Call me next year. “

Yes, and now one year later Oprah is calling … to discuss Kirstie’s weight gain.

So if you want to see how not to gain weight after loosing just tune into Oprah on Thursday.

Adam Lambert sings "Feeling Good"

See the Adam Lambert Feeling Good video, lyrics here. The Season 8 American Idol finalist delivered a stellar performance. See the video, photos and lyrics here of the Adam Lambert American Idol Rat Pack Night performance.

Adam Lambert sings "Feeling Good" to close "American Idol's" Rat Pack night, with a little "rock edge" he says. Jamie Foxx calls it "totally incredible."

The song has a bouncy 6/8 feel, and Adam, dressed in a white suit, starts simply but quickly vamps it up. It's flashy and sensual, and when Adam goes for the glory note, it's spectacular -- maybe the biggest, longest glory note in Idol history (anybody got a comparison)?

He just looks like a star, all backlit. A very interesting take on the song, is speeding up the tempo at times.

Man, it's another classic Lambert performance--stalks down the stairs, rock music kicks in, he's getting ready to melt this. Is totally on control on the stage; like KISS running full-tilt into Frank Sinatra. Great last note. Not, again, one of his top three, but still memorable as heck and, as always, interesting.

Randy feels he's sounding a like a broken record -- it was a little too theatrical, a little drama-filled -- but he's in the zone. Kara finds him shocking and confusing and sleazy and superb (she's very confused). Paula says words cannot describe: "You make me feel better than good."

Simon says Randy talking about Adam being too theatrical is like complaining that a cow moos. Simon says he gets the feeling that Adam wants to wins, wants to prove a point and wants to entertain. He also thinks it was Adam's best entrance of the year.

Was Adam Lambert's "Feeling Good" sleazy in a good way? A bit over-the-top? As great as Michael Phelps at the Olympics?

Check out the video.

Danny Gokey “Come Rain or Come Shine”

Danny Gokey sang Come Rain or Come Shine. American Idol Top 5 performances. Rat Pack Week. April 28, 2009.

Vocally, this is very typical Danny. I do like the bridge, he gets to show off some jazzy chops on the bridge. This song seems to have about 6 notes, I think he could've picked something showier but overall it's good. There's a big stripper-music ending, I wish he had a glove to strip off a la Gilda. I am loathe to admit it, but I actually like this quite a bit.

Randy says he's the only one who could have an album of songs like that. Well, that's not true. Kris and Matt both fit in that box too, Randy. Guh. This Gokey love is kinda gross. Kara liked his "Rat Pat swagg-ah." She loved his creativity with the melody. Paula calls it stellar. Simon liked his confidence and says it was "outstanding." Is Simon padding his Finale Picks? Perhaps.

Here are the video from Danny Gokey and the lyric for the songs

Come Rain or Come Shine Lyrics

I'm gonna love you, like nobodys loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine

I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But dont you ever bet me
cause Im gonna be true if you let me

Youre gonna love me, like nobodys loved me
Come rain or come shine
Well be happy together, unhappy together
Now wont that be just fine

The days may be cloudy or sunny
Were in or out of the money
But Im with you always
Im with you rain or shine

kim kardashian new hair color

Lightening up your 'do for summer isn't a new concept, but we were shocked when we saw yesterday's pictures of Kim Kardashian's new caramel highlights.

The new color is pretty and makes her look like she could be Eva Longoria's sister (not exactly a bad thing), and they look a bit lighter at the ends, which is what stylists are all telling us is most modern these days.

Kim Kardashian has revealed what she's calling a "drastic new look". She's gone blonde and has been Twittering about it like there's no tomorrow:

I'm LOVING my blonde hair!

I WENT BLONDE!!!! Do u like it?

Sleep tight Khloball! see u tuesday! Khloe do u like my light hair? I'm trying to look like u!
Tips for Kim or anyone going lighter: use a deep conditioner once a week (our beauty director, Amy Keller, swears by Aussie Deeeep 3 Minute Miracle) and products for dyed hair daily (like L'Oréal Professionnel Colorist Collection shampoos and conditioners). And if you're going to color your hair yourself at home, never go more than two shades lighter than your base color.

I'm all for playing around with your style and love to color my own hair, but I'm not at all a fan of Kim Kardashian as a blonde. She looked much hotter and exotic looking with the dark hair. What do you think?

heidi and heather burge on Double Team

Heidi and Heather Burge are the real twins on who a movie called “Double Teamed” is based. Heidi and Heather story with the WNBA is remarkable and you can see it on this Disney Original Movie.

The part of the twins is played by Annie McElwain and Poppi Monroe; both of them have appeared on TV before. McElwain on the unpopular spin-off “Saved by the Bell: The New Class” and Monroe in part on “The Last Don”. Now it’s their turn to play twin basketball sisters.

Double Teamed is the true story of WNBA players Heidi and Heather Burge. High school freshman Heidi (played by Annie McElwain, whose past acting credits include SAVED BY THE BELL: THE NEW CLASS) and her sister Heather (played by Poppi Monroe, whose previous acting was in THE LAST DON) are twins in the life. They were not identical in any way because they had different personalities and likings.

IMDB says of the show:

“Heather and Heidi Burge go to an inner-city school where they play volleyball on a team. Their father decides that they need to go to a bigger school outside of their school area so that they can get scholarships. At first the twins were supposed to be playing Volleyball at their new school but then 6′1 Heather is discovered by the basketball coach. Heidi is into drama but is forced to play basketball by her father. It’s discovered that they live out of the school zone so they have to move out of their big beautiful house into a small apartment because their father is stuck on them playing basketball. Can they overcome all of these obstacles and win the game at the end?”

CAST
Poppi Monroe … Heather Burge

Annie McElwain … Heidi Burge

Teal Redmann … Nicky Williams

Nick Searcy … Larry Burge

The Post Gazette gives it 2 stars out of a possible 5 stars.

TV talk show host Jay Leno fell ill and checked himself into a Los Angeles, California, hospital Thursday, his representative said.

Leno was not taken to the hospital by ambulance -- he either drove himself or was driven by a staffer. NBC canceled Thursday's taping of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," after the talk show host became ill.

The network will rerun the March 26 show, which features a musical performance by Prince and interviews with actors Paul Giamatti and Emma Roberts, according to the show's Web site.

Actor Ryan Reynolds, animal trainer Jules Sylvester and swing band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy had been booked for Thursday's show.

A rep for Leno says he's still in the hospital for observation.

Tracy St. Pierre would not disclose the nature of Leno's illness.

American Idol Top 5

Say good bye to Anoop Desai and Lil Rounds

Wednesday night, Anoop Desai and Lil Rounds learned that American Idol finalists can survive only so many trips to the bottom three. For Anoop, his fourth consecutive trip to the stools of doom at stage right earned him a trip home. For Lil, it took only three.

Lil's departure leaves Idol without a black contestant in the top five for the first time in the show's history. (If the surviving member of the bottom three — Allison Iraheta — had joined her, it would have been the first season without a woman in the final five, too.)

Voters decided to give another reprieve to Matt Giraud, who'd earned a save from the judges last week. He was safe, along with Danny Gokey, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert.

After a rounds of elimination, American Idol judges revealed the Top 5 results from the last week Top 7 Idols.

Here is the list of the Idol who will continue to perform:

1. Kris Allen
   
2. Adam Lambert
   
3. Danny Gokey
   
4. Matt Giraud
   
5. Allison Iraheta
   

And sad goodbye to:

• Lil Rounds
  
• Anoop Desai
  

What can you say about the results? Who do you think would be the next American Idol Season 8 winner among Kris, Adam, Danny, Matt, and Allison?

Next week, the Top 5 will be performing…

susan boyle new look

Susan Boyle, the international phenomenon who captured the hearts of millions this past week after her remarkable performance on the hit UK reality show Britain's Got Talent, has received more attention for her frumpy wardrobe and less-than-impressive style than she has for her vocal talent.

While record companies scramble to put together contracts for this budding musician, makeup companies, hair salons and couture clothing stores are grasping for the opportunity to cash in on this woman's fame.

Since her appearance on the show, Susan has been approached by many makeover companies to update her look and turn this plain Jane into a Hollywood hottie (on the house, of course). Despite many offers, Boyle has politely declined.

But why - when so many people spend thousands upon thousands of dollars to look and feel great - would Susan turn down the opportunity to get special treatment for free? Well, Boyle seems to think she's just fine the way she is:

"Why should it matter as long as I can sing? It's not a beauty contest," Susan told the London Times this week. "Maybe I'll consider a makeover later on. For now I'm happy the way I am – short and plump. I would not go in for Botox or anything like that. I'm content with the way I look. What's wrong with looking like Susan Boyle? What's the matter with that?"

However,Susan Boyle look like went shopping.

On Tuesday, the famously frumpy Britain's Got Talent singer, 48, stepped out in a new patterned dress, leather-look jacket and, yes, high heels, the British Daily Mail points out. Her bushy browns have also gone bye-bye.

Boyle never ruled out amping up her look ever since she reached international fame for her touching performance of "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables.

"Maybe I'll consider a makeover later on," she told the London Times on Saturday. "For now I'm happy the way I am — short and plump. I would not go in for Botox or anything like that. I'm content with the way I look. What's wrong with looking like Susan Boyle? What's the matter with that?"

Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has been against Boyle getting a makeover, saying that that Scottish singing sensation "needs to stay exactly as she is because that's the reason we love her."

Holden recently told the U.K. Mirror, "The minute we turn her into a glamour-puss is when it's spoiled."

adam lambert disco

Adam Lambert, with his Elvis hair and suit, is singing "If I Can't Have You" from Saturday Night Fever. It's the main event we've all been waiting for on disco night -- he's in simple, soulful mode tonight.

Adam's on tonight, no silly theatrics--just his great voice, unspooling slowly and making us hear this song totally differently. He builds to the chorus, and is just wailing as the audience is shrieking. Paula is transfixed; which is a great sign, usually she's up and dancing around.

Bee Gees If I Can’t Have You lyrics and song were written by the members of the group, Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb. As sung by Yvonne Elliman, the song was immortalized in the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, and as such takes its place among iconic hits of the disco era. The song was covered by Kim Wilde in 1993.

Randy loves how he can sing everything, says "you've got it majorly going on, he's a hot one tonight, America!" Kara says he's brilliant, calls it "the most memorable performance," loves the emotion, how he connected. I think she's going overboard a bit with her praise, it wasn't his best on the show ever.

Paula calls him awesome, says he'll be in the finals. Simon says you did something we weren't expecting, original -- never heard it that way before, definitely memorable. He has a lot of respect for Adam, it really comes through.

Ryan adds at the end Adam was "melting" Paula during the song.

On results night April 22, 2009 two candidates will be sent home, giving us an American Idol Top 5. We are skipping Top 6 altogether this year, due to the judges save of Matt Giraud last wek.

The judges were all pleased.

Bee Gees If I Can’t Have You Lyrics

Don’t know why I’m surviving every lonely day
When there’s got to be no chance for me
My life would end and it doesn’t matter how I cry
My tears of love are a waste of time
If I turn away am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do

If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody baby
If I can’t have you ah ah, I can’t have you
I don’t want nobody baby, if I can’t have you ah ah

Can’t let go and it doesn’t matter how I try
I gave it all so easily to you my love
To dreams that never will come true
Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do

Yannique Barker dating Brooke Hogan!

Looks like Yannique Barker, or Stack$, may have rapped his way into the heart of bad girl Brooke Hogan and the pair may be getting Serious.

Brooke spent some time in Miami this weekend filming her new music video (wait, really???) with her new boyfriend, rapper Yannique Barker. This makes perfect sense, actually. Her mother dates men who are half her age. Brooke can’t do that without tip-toeing into statutory rape, so instead she’s dating men who are half her size.

Stack$ is the nickname given to Yannique Barker by fellow rapper Brisco. Yannique and Brook Hogan were seen out for a stroll on a Florida beach recently where the pair are filming the video for Brooke’s new single. The pair were frolicking around together like lovebirds.

Barker, 24, is no stranger to Brooke either. He’s been featured on My Number off Brooke’s debut album, Undiscovered so the pair have been around each other for a while.

But don’t let the Stack$ tattooed up bad boy rapper image fool you. His father is the founder of a hugely successful aerospace company and Yannique himself attended Landon in Bethesda, MD, a prestigious all-boys prep school.

MTV says of Stack$:

Yannique Barker, aka STACK$, was about to enter his third year at the prestigious USC School of Film and Cinematography when he decided to pursue his lifetime passion for music full-time. By chance, Stack$ met super-producer Scott Storch (Fat Joe, The Roots Mario, 50 Cent, Dr. Dre.) The two became fast friends and eventually Storch decided to executive produce his newfound protégé’s entire first album, and enlisted the help of a number of celebrity friends. Now STACK$ is set to release his debut, CraZee and ConfuZed. The album features cameos from stars like The Game, Diddy, Busta Rhymes, Trick Daddy, PitBull, Paul Wall, and Twista, as well as tracks produced by the likes of Scott Storch, Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes, Timbaland, Jazze Pha, and Red Spyda.

Hogan’s July 2009 album Redemption is on SoBe Records for which Barker is CEO. Other artists on his label include Jah Cure, LP, The New Rivals, Urban Mystic, and Phyllisia.

Stacks told press about his upbringing back in a 2007 interview:

“When you rap, you’re supposed to come from poverty, in impoverished situations and go through struggles. Okay, well, I wasn’t born poor. I was very fortunate to be blessed. But somehow you don’t realize that when you do have money, there is a struggle that comes with it. It’s a struggle that I’ve been going through for the past five or six years.”

Other than the obvious size difference between the two, Yannique Barker and Brooke Hogan could be right for each other, as long as he’s the one wearing the high heels.

Whatever. I can’t wait to see this video. I’m sure it’ll be AMAZING and bubbling over with talent and intelligence, like everything Brooke does.

Meet Andrew Bynum, an American professional basketball player who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers of NBA. Bynum is the youngest player to play an NBA game.

Rihanna reportedly has found a new love in basketball player Andrew Bynum.The couple dined at Mastro’s Steakhouse in Beverly Hills. When they left together, a witness reports that they looked “very couple-y, sitting real close to each other in the car.”

This is the first time Rihanna has been spotted on a date since her on/off boyfriend Chris Brown assaulted her during a scuffle in February.

Although reports claimed of Rihanna and Chris reunited after the incident, they have not been seen together in recent weeks.

Chris has been charged with felony assault and making criminal threats after he allegedly punched, bit and choked Rihanna until she was unconscious in his car on February 8.
The two also showed up together at Byron Davis’ birthday party last week.

As a biography, Andrew Bynum was born on October 27, 1987 in Plainsboro, New Jersey so his age is 21. He attended St. Joseph High School and was named to the 2005 McDonald’s All-American team. He averaged 22.4 points, 16.8 rebounds and 5.3 block in his senior year and decided to go directly to NBA. He was selected 10th overall in the 2005 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Lakers.

Bynum was trained by none other than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar during his initial stay at the club. He became the youngest player to appear in an NBA game in November 2005. He was not exactly consistent during his rookie season but went on to display good dominating skills in the games.

Bynum averaged 13.1 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks in his 2007-08 season with the Lakers. He suffered from a knee injury in January 2008 and was virtually out of the whole season, only to return in September and resigning a contract with the club worth $58m for four years. He then scored career-high 42 points in a game against the Los Angeles Clippers in January 2009.

Miss North Carolina USA crowned Miss USA 2009

Miss North Carolina USA Kristen Dalton has been crowned Miss USA 2009.

The 21-year-old aspiring motivational speaker from Wilmington edged out first runner-up Miss California USA Carrie Prejean, of San Diego, and second runner-up Miss Arizona USA Alicia-Monique Blanco, of Phoenix.

Contestants from all 50 states and the District of Columbia competed in the pageant, aired live on NBC. Contestants were judged by their performance in swimsuit and evening gown modeling contests and their responses to a question asked onstage; unlike the rival Miss America pageant, Miss USA contestants do not perform a talent.

The top 15 contestants worked the stage in white string bikinis designed by pop star Jessica Simpson's swimwear line. Rocker Kevin Rudolf performed his song "Let it Rock," followed by The Veronicas, who performed their single "Untouched" as the top 10 beauties showed off their choice of glittering evening gowns.

Dalton's title comes with a year's use of a New York apartment, a public relations team, a two-year scholarship at the New York Film Academy and an undisclosed salary.

She also will go to the Bahamas in August to compete in the Miss Universe pageant, where American beauties haven't been lucky in recent years. Both Miss USA 2008 Crystle Stewart and her predecessor, Rachel Smith, wiped out on stage during the evening gown competition, becoming accidental YouTube stars.

The Miss USA crown was designed by a jeweler that specializes in conflict-free and eco-friendly jewels. The crown from Diamond Nexus Labs of Franklin, Wis., is worth $202,000.

In the same week Jessica Simpson saw her country music career take a nosedive, the Miss USA pageant put contestants in itsty-bitsy, teeny-weeny bikinis she designed.

Jessica Simpson's swimwear range is to be featured in the Miss Universe contest.

Contestants taking part in the renowned beauty pageant on Sunday will don white and gold skimpy bikinis from the singer-and-actress' eponymous line.

The Jessica Simpson Collection is the official sponsor of this year's competition, taking the place of Syrup Swimwear which gave contestants suits for the last two years.

According to New York's Daily News, "Identical $104 white 'n' gold string bikinis were especially created for the contest, as well as the $88 bright green string bikinis modeled by the crown-chasers during a pre-pageant photo shoot in Las Vegas."

Why go with Simpson's designs?

"Why not?" publicist Lark-Marie Anton told the Daily News. "They're fabulous swimsuits."

Jessica said: "I want to create clothes that flatter every figure. I know how a dress can make you feel so frumpy. I promise mine won't. I've been judged a lot in my life. By now I know what works if you're curvy."

Simpson split with her Nashville recording studio this week and is thought to be taking a break from recording.

Miranda Tozier Robbins Arrested at Britney Spears's House

Police arrested a woman today for sneaking onto Britney Spears' Calabasas property. Miranda Tozier-Robbins, who, coincidentally, sang a Spears song during an American Idol audition, was asked by security in the gated community to leave the area but refused and had to by physically removed from the property.

Authorities arrested Miranda Tozier-Robbins, 26, who was wearing camouflage and toting a camera at the time of her arrest, the Associated Press reports. She was cited for trespassing and disorderly conduct before being released. Relying on other reports, Entertainment Weekly also says that Tozier-Robbins was a fifth-season American Idol hopeful, who auditioned with the Spears ballad "Everytime."

Sheriffs arrived minutes later and took her to the Malibu-Lost Hills station to be booked on charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct. Tozier-Robbins was released.
Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore told the AP that the reason Tozier-Robbins was at Spears's home is unknown. It is also unclear where Spears was at the time of the alleged intrusion.

The police report said Brit wasn't home at the time of the trespassing but X17 photogs saw the cops enter the neighborhood gates (not knowing it was a call at Spears' house) and didn't see Britney enter or leave the area until she left, with her boys in the car, around 5 pm for the Staples Center for tonight's concert.

Later Thursday, however, onstage at L.A.'s Staples Center, Spears was evident for all to see – including her young sons, Preston and Jayden Federline, 3 and 2 respectively, who watched her from just above the 17th row, next to a sound booth. And though their mother, 27, performed a sexually charged show, the boys didn't see all of it. They were gone from their seats by the time Mama finished.

Tozier-Robbins currently resides in Inglewood, Calif. and has a blog based on her "Idol" experience. She says she auditioned in Boston and continued to the second round but was "shot down by the judges on October 27th, 2005." "Extra" has learned that Tozier-Robbins chose Spears' single "Everytime" for her audition -- but was asked to sing something else instead.

During her audition, RealityShack.com says Paula Abdul told Tozier-Robbins she felt like she was watching cartoons. Tozier-Robbins was a Magic Kingdom employee and Simon Cowell asked her if she believed Dumbo could fly. Abdul told the hopeful the competition wasn't for her and she should go back to Disney.

The police report states security personnel asked her to leave, but the woman "balked at their requests." Sheriffs arrived shortly after and physically escorted her off the property. She was booked on charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct. Bail was set at $5,000, but she was released on a citation.

On Tozier-Robbins' YouTube page, she claims she's "an aspiring filmmaker" and wants to be an editor. The page features clips from a show the 26-year-old hosted called "The Shorty Show."

Tozier-Robbins is scheduled to appear in court on June 16.

Britney's "Circus" tour began a two-night stay in Los Angeles on Thursday night.

Jasmine Waltz: Dating Ryan Seacrest

Between hosting a radio show, hosting American Idol and flirting with Simon Cowell, it's a wonder Ryan Seacrest has any time to date.

However, new reports have linked the hard-worker with Los Angeles bartender Jasmine Waltz.

The sexy Jasmine Waltz appears to be the new girlfriend of American Idol host Ryan Seacrest. The two were first spotted together by TMZ at LAX this past weekend. Since then she’s been dubbed a Megan Fox look-a-like. The relatively unknown actress, who first met Seacrest at the bar she works at should be expecting more calls from her agent after this huge media blast.Seacrest met Waltz during a night out at Guy's, a West Hollywood lounge. She's an aspiring actress that has worked at other L.A. clubs, such Les Deux, and enjoyed an uncredited role in Bad Boys II.

"They've been together for a few months now," a source told People.

Seacrest and Waltz spent a weekend in Paris last week, where numerous witnesses reported a heavy amount of PDA between the couple.

That’s the beauty of Hollywood, it’s all about being at the right place at the right time. Acting skills are usually the icing on the cake. It’ll be interesting to see if Waltz will be able to make an actual career out of this relationship. Word of advice, don’t take any career tips from Kevin Federline.

The two seem to be getting along just fine and Waltz doesn’t seem the least bit disturbed at the constant nagging of the paparazzi. After returning from there week in Paris, onlookers reported that the two were showing quite a lot of affection to towards one another. Who could blame them, Paris is the romantic capital of the world.

The American Idol host has been linked previously to singer Sophie Monk, Amazing Race star Shana Wall and actress Teri Hatcher.

jennifer hudson on american idol

It was an "American Idol" first. The night someone was to be voted off... someone got saved instead.

Jennifer Hudson makes her return to "American Idol," they show some clips first -- wonder if they'll show the ones of Simon telling her to lose weight. Nope.

She does one movie (“Dreamgirls”) — and wins an Oscar.

She records one CD (“Jennifer Hudson”), with only one hit single at that point — and wins a Grammy.

Well, if skeptics were thinking that the movie and music industries had made 27-year-old Hudson a star before she really earned it, all they had to see was one show: Last night’s concert at the Fox Theatre.

She's come a loooong way from when she got cut (early) from Season Three; I'm really happy Idol gave someone like her the chance to make it big, she's one of the most talented and graceful contestants the show's ever had.

Hudson is a wonder. And not just because it is remarkable that she is out in front of audiences mere months after her mother, brother and nephew were killed.

But because on the first night of her two-night stand in Atlanta - the second show being Thursday- this relative newcomer arrived with an ease with the audience that never let on that this is her first tour ever. She has a command of not only her own rather ordinary R&B material, but such greats as Aretha Franklin’s (“Something He Can Feel”), Chaka Khan’s (“Sweet Thing”) and Whitney Houston’s (“You Give Good Love”). And most spectacularly, every song she sang seemed to effortlessly emanate from this much older, wiser core layered with gospel heft and Broadway delivery.

Hudson wasn’t much about on-stage banter during her near hour-long set. But it was clear from the standing ovation the ever-slimmer talent got before her first song (“One Night Only” from “Dreamgirls”) to her bare-footed encore (of course, “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,” also from “Dreamgirls”) that she connected with the three-fourths full theater.

Comes out all in black; audience is totally quiet as she launches into "If This Isn't Love." There's deep power in her voice that only comes from life experience; she owns the stage and the audience, as she hits the high notes it's really an electric moment.

She did not win the show, but Hudson has clearly proven to be the most successful person to come out of the FOX reality series.Hudson performed a song from her latest CD, as did Disney starlet Miley Cyrus.

Charlie Bewley: New Moon’s Demetri

Here are pictures of Charlie Bewley just added to New Moon. Charlie Bewley in New Moon as Demetri was announced by Twilight’s studio SUMMIT Entertainment moments ago.

He has been selected to play the role of Demetri in the upcoming film from the Twilight saga, New Moon.

Demetri is a member of the Volturi, “a venerable coven of vampires who weigh and impose the laws of the vampire world.” He is described as tall and lean, having an olive complexion with a chalky pallor, and dark hair that reaches his shoulders.

The announcement came today from Summit Entertainment’s Erik Feig that principal photography has begun on the film, which is shooting on location in Vancouver, BC, and Tuscany, Italy.

Also rejoining the movie are Ashley Greene as Alice, Peter Facinelli as Carlisle, Elizabeth Reaser as Esme, Kellan Lutz as Emmett, Nikki Reed as Rosalie, Jackson Rathbone as Jasper , Edi Gathegi as Laurent and Rachelle Lafevre as Victoria.

New cast members include the legendary Volturi, a venerable coven of vampires who weigh and impose the laws of the vampire world, as well as two new members of the Quileute Indian Nation. The Volturi include Charlie Bewley as Demetri, Jamie Campbell Bower as Caius, Daniel Cudmore as Felix, Christopher Heyerdahl as Marcus, all Volturi enforcers. Dakota Fanning plays Jane, a high ranking and powerful Volturi member and Cameron Bright is Alec, her brother. Noot Seer plays Volturi member Heidi. Michael Sheen plays Aro, the Volturi leader. Graham Greene appears as Harry Clearwater, Quileute tribal leader and old friend of Bella’s father Charlie. Tinsel Korey is Emily, the fiancé of Sam Uley.

In New Moon, Bella finds herself drawn into the world of werewolves by her growing friendship with Jacob after the abrupt departure of Edward.

This could be Bewley’s big break, as was Twilight for Pattinson. Just a month ago Bewley’s twitter update read “please let this be the last time i scandalously flirt with the bread line, dear lord.”

oksana pochepa And Mel Gibson??

THIS is the Russian pop singer who last night claimed to be the mystery girl blamed for ending MEL GIBSON’s marriage. Sexy OKSANA POCHEPA, 24, says she has fallen for the 53-year-old actor and hopes their love is “strong and long-lasting”.

Russian popstar Oksana Pochepa admits she was the girl photographed frolicking with Mel Gibson on a beach, and adds that she has fallen for the actor. Pochepa says she is smitten by the actor and hopes their love is “strong and long-lasting”. Just weeks after the snaps were published, the movie legend’s wife Robyn Gibson, 52, filed for divorce.

Smitten Oksana, who first hit the Russian charts aged 13, said yesterday: “This is serious and I hope that our union will be real and strong and long-lasting.

“We are different people, but Mel is a grown man and knows precisely what he wants and me too — I know what I want.”
The singer, who is also a model, claimed to have visited Mel on the set of a movie in Boston last summer. But she added the two were not yet ready to go public with details of their love. She said: “I would not like to say more right now.”
“I would not like to say more right now,” she said. Pochepa spoke out after the reports blamed Mrs Gibson’s divorce suit on “a Russian musician called Oksana”. Some reports had suggested the Russian classical pianist Oksana Kolesnikova as the women behind Gibsons’ divorce.

But married Kolesnikova, 31, last night angrily denied being linked to the star. “I have no idea how this mistake has been made. I feel very upset,” she said. “The only explanation is that the names Oksana have been confused. It is a very popular name in Russia,” she added.

adam lambert born to be wild

Internet "diva" and early fan favorite Adam Lambert sang Born to Be Wild inspired from Easy Rider.Adam was wearing a very nice rugged rocker outfit, and turned the song very -"wild" after Adam headbanged in some parts of his performance.His raw voice just tears into the song, it's high-energy and fun from the get-go. Man, what a showman; never heard this song done in this way.

He turns the chorus into some head-banging thing, and his voice is just climbing the ladder. It's not as easy on the ears and melodically pleasant as past weeks, but man does he have the crowd going crazy. Not my favorite performance by Adam, but the crowd sure loves it.

Paula says "you dare to dance in the path of greatness," calls him one fo the bravest contestants ever. She's sure got that right.

Simon says Adam's performance a while ago was "incredible" vocally, but "Rocky Horror Picture Show" in some parts. Simon added that people will either hate it or love it. Paula gives Adam a good mark after saying "you dare to dance in the path of greatness," The dancer-judge even calls him one of the bravest contestants ever.

lil kim wardrobe malfunction

Lil' Kim nearly had a big wardrobe malfunction on "Dancing With the Stars."

The US rapper had some trouble with her top after dancing the jive with Derek Hough, her partner on the American TV talent show, and host Tom Bergeron had to provide cover while she adjusted her outfit.

Lil' Kim told KABC-TV after the show: "I don't know why this happens a lot of the time, but ... the girls were tryin' to come out."

The nearly X-rated moment was edited out by the time the show was rebroadcast on the West Coast, but it didn't seem to bother the judges: Lil' Kim and Hough posted a night's best 28 out of a possible 30 for their spirited dance.

mel gibson divorce

Sources tell us there is no prenuptial agreement -- they were married in 1980, before Mel Gibson amassed a fortune estimated at $900 million back in 2006. Under the laws of California, community property -- which includes earnings -- is divided 50/50.

The Gibsons have 7 children, but only one -- Tom, who turns 10 tomorrow -- is a minor. In Robyn's legal papers, filed this morning in L.A. County Superior Court, she seeks joint physical and legal custody of Tom.

Robyn is also asking for spousal support and attorneys fees.

Robyn lists the date of separation as "to be determined." This is important, because earnings generally cease to be community property when the couple separates. There could be a skirmish over this. We're told the couple grew increasingly apart over the last few years, especially since Mel's drunk driving arrest in 2006.

There have been reports that Mel has been involved with another woman, which the actor denies, but we're told the reasons for the divorce go beyond any third party.

Launch PhotosIf there is a fight, Robyn is in good hands -- she's repped by disso-queen Laura Wasser, who has handled divorces for the likes of Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears and Stevie Wonder.

Mel Gibson fires back at Robyn Moore's divorce papers

It didn't take long for Mel Gibson to fire back with his own divorce papers.

Gibson cited irreconcilable differences, in papers filed just hours after Robyn Moore filed hers, according to TMZ.

His publicist, Alan Neirob, has released this statement to the press on behalf of the couple.

"Throughout our marriage and separation we have always strived to maintain the privacy and integrity of our family and will continue to do so."

Gibson, unlike his wife, gives a very specific date of separation — Aug. 26, 2006.

Mel's infamous DUI arrest after being at a local Malibu bar, chatting up the ladies (and his subsequent anti-Semitic rant to a cop) was less than a month earlier, on July 28, 2006.

Was that the public humiliation straw that broke the patient camel wife's back?

Insiders have long noted that Robyn and Mel grew further apart after the arrest.

Does the date Gibson lists for separation confirm this?

Phil Spector Guilty of Murder

The boy genius has given way to the convicted murderer.

Rock music producer Phil Spector was convicted Monday of second-degree murder in the shooting death of a film actress,Lana Clarkson at his mansion six years ago.

Spector, who was taken immediately into custody, showed no emotion at the verdict, reports said; his wife Rachelle sobbed.

Second-degree murder carries a penalty of 15 years to life in prison.

The 69-year-old Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member faces up to life in prison when sentenced May 29.

This was Spector's second judgment day on the Clarkson case. In 2007, a jury deadlocked 10-2 in favor of convicting Spector.

At the second trial as at the first, prosecutors said Clarkson fell victim to a man who had a history of waving guns at, and acting violently toward, women, especially when he'd been drinking. Spector's defense argued she shot herself.

There was one new twist at the new trial, but it ended up being a nonfactor, unfortunately for Spector.

At this trial, jurors had the option of convicting Spector of a lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter. They not only didn't take the option, they also convicted the former hitmaker of using a gun while committing a crime.

For L.A. prosecutors, the guilty verdicts were a welcome change. They previously failed to win convictions against celebrity murder defendants O.J. Simpson and Robert Blake.

Spector, 69, who had long lived in seclusion at his suburban Alhambra "castle," was out on the town in Hollywood when he met Clarkson on Feb. 3, 2003, at the House of Blues. The actress, recently turned 40 and unable to find acting work, had taken a job as a hostess. When the club closed in the wee hours, she accepted a chauffeured ride to Spector's home for a drink. Three hours later, she was dead.

Spector's fame dates back to 1958, when, at age 19, he wrote and sang his way to No. 1 on the chart with "To Know Him Is to Love Him."

As a young producer, Spector dominated the pre-Beatles 1960s with hit ("He's a Rebel") after hit ("Da Doo Ron Ron") after hit ("Be My Baby"). The songs were predominantly recorded by girl groups and were exclusively backed by the aural sensation known as the "Wall of Sound." Spector's magic touch continued through the 1960s, with "Unchained Melody," the Beatles Let It Be, John Lennon's "Imagine" and George Harrison "My Sweet Lord," among other standouts.

But over the past 30-40 years, Spector's fame gave way to a kind of infamy—the mad genius who, per lore, pulled gun on Lennon and the Ramones, or who, per Ronnie Spector, of the Spector creation the Ronettes, treated her more as a captive than wife during their troubled marriage.

Spector's alleged gun-waving ways caught up to him at trial, if not on night of Clarkson's death at his Alhambra, Calif., castle-style home. At Spector's first trial, five women testified about being at the other end of a gun drawn by Spector. Their testimony was allowed to be introduced in the new trial.

The 40-year-old Lana Clarkson, star of the 1985 cult film "Barbarian Queen," died of a gunshot fired in her mouth as she sat in the foyer of Spector's mansion in 2003. She met Spector only hours earlier at her job as a nightclub hostess.

About five hours later, after the pair was driven to Spector's home, Spector walked out of his mansion, and, per testimony at the first trial, told his driver: "I think I killed somebody."

Was plastic surgery behind Ivanka Trump’s transformation from ugly duckling to beautiful swan?Ivanka Trump, the artificial blonde offspring of the notorious Donald and Ivana Trump, is an attractive an d smart young woman who works for a living. Being at the limelight, however, she is the unfortunate butt of criticism that her looks have been achieved by the millions of dollars funneled from her father’s bank account towards expensive hairstyles, skincare, makeup, clothes, and a few good plastic surgeries. Some people believe that were she not The Donald’s daughter, she would be mediocre looking. While thi s is probably a bit too harsh of an analysis, there may be some truth to it.

Most of the focus thus far has been on Ivanka’s breast implants being far too big for her frame. Now, quite a few people are asking Make Me Heal to deconstruct Ivanka’s nose and confirm whether it has also been chiseled by a plastic surgeon’s knife.

Photos of Ivanka’s very teeny tiny nose immediately scream nose job. Interestingly, some speculate that Ivanka has not had one, but two nose jobs with the latter one happening in 2006. Back in 1997-1998, when Ivanka first sprang up on the celebrity radar she had a wider bridge and tip and some photos even show a slight unevenness to her nose. Fast forward a few years and Ivanka’s nose is dramatically narrower than the old nose, the bridge is slimmed down, the tip appears raised, and the nose no longer has any imperfections, as evidenced by a perfectly arched nose bridge in profile shots of her. While some people adore this type of perfect-looking nose, other people have said that Ivanka’s nose is far too small for her facial proportions.

Ivanka Trump Plastic Surgery

Comparing old and more recent pictures of Ivanka Trump, it seems that there is a size difference on her breast. It is common in breast augmentation where the implant is placed under the chest muscle that they look a bit swollen in the upper pole. It can take several months for the implants to settle or drop, after which they will look smaller and more natural.

ImageWhen breast implants are placed above the muscle, the swelling is less and the upper pole swelling is less as well. Usually just after surgery and for the first six months, breasts will look bigger because of this, and the final look will be achieved in about a year.
