Howard Stern Addresses American Idol Rumors
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Rumors, Video
The media’s been going crazy since recent rumors of staffing changes at American Idol surfaced. Simon Cowell revealed weeks ago that he’ll be jumping the sinking FOX flagship, and rumor has it that he’ll reunited with Paula Abdul on his Stateside version of X-Factor. Meanwhile, the folks behind Idol are reportedly looking for his replacement - and the rumors suggest that replacement might be radio shock jock Howard Stern.
On his Sirius radio program, Stern alluded to the rumors and added (in his usual ribald way) “there’s not a better job on the planet than judging that [expletive deleted] karaoke contest.” He then went on to say that he would do the show - if they offer $100 million. I don’t think that’s going to happen, so we can all take a big, deep breath of relief now.

Did a Reality Con Artist Trick American Idol?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video
You watch enough reality TV shows, you’re going to start seeing some of the same faces. Not all of these repeated-realers choose to use different names and fake accents when they’re appearing before the cameras, however, and that’s why American Idol’s Nicci Nix is extremely special…or very, very dumb.
Nix originally billed herself as a Florence, Italy native and spoke with an accent (not to mention that inordinately high-pitched speaking voice) before she sang prettily for the panel to win her shot at success in Hollywood Week. But if you’ve watched a lot of Fear Factor and Making the Band, you might know Nicci by another name - another name, another birthplace, another accent…whatever. Keep reading to watch videos of a distinctly different Nicci.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip

Sources say that FOX is already shopping around for a new American Idol panelist, someone to replace Simon Cowell when he jumps ship next year to work on his new X-Factor gig. Who could possibly offer enough smooth wit, harsh criticism and a charming smile to fill Cowell’s shoes on the show?

American Idol 9: Road to Hollywood
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video
American Idol 9 viewers got a little gypped on Wednesday night. Instead of featuring a single audition city, we were given a random montage of singers from across the nation - and a few highlights of those we’ll be seeing in next week’s Hollywood round.
Larry Platt’s “Pants on the Ground,” was featured first, of course. The catchy little ditty has truly swept the nation, springing up all over YouTube in the weeks since it was first introduced. The funny clips of this number led into a not-so-subtle segue about song selection…and then, our hour-long montage episode was truly underway.
