Enrique Iglesias Offered American Idol Job
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Rumors,
The "Hero" singer has reportedly been given the chance to join Mariah Carey - the only person confirmed to appear on the new panel so far - when the 12th series of the show returns next year. Website Entertainment Weekly says he has been offered $4 million to appear on the talent search show.
If Enrique does take the role, he will have been in a good position to pick up tips from ex-judge Jennifer Lopez - who quit this year after two seasons - over the last few months as he has been touring with her. Longstanding panelist Randy Jackson is thought to be stepping into more of a mentor role, while producers are thinking of expanding the judging desk to include four people.
In the frame are said to be rapper Nicki Minaj, Australian country artist Keith Urban and pop singer Adam Lambert.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video,
The stage was set for drama on the Thursday results episode of American Idol. With lights turned low, Ryan Seacrest intoned about the importance of the vote. You see, only the Top 3 get to go home in glory, to a big hero’s welcome. The fourth-place finisher simply goes home, to wait for the Idol summer tour with the rest of the season’s rejects.
It took almost 72 million votes to determine the Thursday results. The Top 4 all scored high praise from the judges on Wednesday, each having two performances with which to impress them.

Neil Patrick Harris Against Second Britney Appearance
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, CBS, Gossip,
While I’m sure he’s appreciative of the attention she helped bring to the show, How I Met Your Mother‘s Neil Patrick Harris would rather a certain pop star stayed at home.
Britney Spears’ cameo last month helped the CBS comedy earn its best performance in the demos ever. So why wouldn’t he want her to come back? Harris would (smartly) prefer to see Mother succeed on its own merits. In an interview with the AP, the actor admitted that his opinions are not shared by everyone in his crew. “I’m in the minority that our show does not need stunt casting in order to succeed.”
The singer’s highly-publicized appearance was not the first time the series had had a celebrity visit. Other guests have included Heidi Klum, Enrique Iglesias, Vanessa Minnillo and Mandy Moore. If the stunt casting continues at this pace, the comedy could end up looking like a former NBC hit.

Okay, is it just me or does American Idol contestant Jason Castro sound like - of all people - Enrique Iglesias?
America’s Next Top Model: Cycle 9: ‘The Girl Who Starts To Lose Her Cool’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, The CW, America’s Next Top Model,
Although Lisa was ecstatic about having last week’s best photo, the (internal) pressure to keep up the good work really bothered her. Meanwhile, Heather was feeling particularly bummed about Sarah’s recent departure; the weeks of eliminations were really starting to get to her. Of course, Bianca saw each goodbye as another reason to celebrate. She was far more realistic about the competition than sensitive Heather.
Later the girls met Benny Ninja (posing instructor) and the Director of Elite Model Management (North America) at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. At the school, the ladies were paired with FIDM students who would work with them on their next challenge. The girls were to act as muses for outfits created specifically for them. Although each garment was built off the same basic dress, the individual interpretations had no limits. It was simply up to each model to make sure her outfit reflected her unique personality. Unfortunately, some of the girls were less vocal than others when it came to expressing their opinions. Lisa simply told her designer that she loved to draw and show her legs; Heather told some weird story about feeling like a fire nymph amongst all her water nymph friends; and Bianca only managed to look confused by the proposed ‘Cleopatra on the Mediterranean Sea’ look.

America’s Next Top Model: Cycle 9: ‘The Girls Who Crawl’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Features,
Ebony’s surprise decision to go home really struck a chord with the other ladies. Ebony knew she didn’t belong in the competition anymore – but did the other girls deserve to remain? Ambreal’s second chance came as a mixed blessing; she now had to work twice as hard to prove she really belonged. And what about Sarah? She was brought into the mix as this season’s plus-sized competitor. Should an unexpected weight-loss bar her from getting any further? Would she need to establish her place on the sizing chart before becoming America’s Next Top Model?
This week, Bianca whipped out a new strategy to bring someone else down. Instead of nitpicking on Heather’s flaws, she criticized her good looks. (I believe this is called the ‘Oh Woe is Me’ Defense.) Bianca insisted that the other girls, like herself, had to work harder than Heather because they didn’t possess her natural beauty. They couldn’t just show up to a photo shoot and just ‘sit there’. Heather, of course, took offense to Bianca’s bitter remarks. She denied not doing ‘anything extraordinary’ for her photos. She considered herself to be an artist who was always thinking about her shoots.
