American Idol Continues to Plead Ellen’s Case
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video
Everyone at American Idol - even those formerly on the show - has been stepping forward to tell us why Ellen DeGeneres, comedienne and talk show host, is a great choice for the nation’s number one singing-themed reality show. And frankly, I’m not buying it.
“She loves the show, she loves music, and she’s a star,” said Kara DioGuardi, perhaps not realizing that many celebrities could easily fit the three criteria. “You got to be a star to win the show.” That’s not to say that winning the show will make you a star. Anyone know where Taylor Hicks is these days?

The 61st Primetime Emmy Awards

Could the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards be another year for firsts?
Around this same time last September, the execs of basic cable were thrilled to see one of their own finally win the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series (Mad Men). Meanwhile, producers of reality fare saw an award given to one of their hosts (Jeff Probst). So which other category could be covered during this round? Animation.
For the first time since 1961 (when The Flintstones were still on air), an animated program has been nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series. So will Family Guy finally go where The Simpsons has never gone before? Not if the six other contenders have anything to say about it!
So who won? Who lost? Which funnyman took home the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor since Jeremy Piven wasn’t even nominated? Read our West Coast play-by-play account of this evening’s telecast and find out!

VIDEO: Paula Abdul Impersonates Ellen DeGeneres
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Specials, Cable, Video
Paula Abdul may have moved on from American Idol, but will she ever stop talking about?
On yesterday’s VH1 Divas special, the former judge used her hosting position to reference her old job not once…but twice. In the clip above, the choreographer hit the stage while doing her best Ellen DeGeneres impersonation. (Although the dancing was admittedly funny, Abdul should have stopped right before making the Simon Cowell comment.)
After the jump, you can also see Paula do her best impersonation of someone who lip synchs and dances at the same time. (Note: If you’re pretending to sing, don’t tilt the microphone away from you.) If you make it to the “Opposites Attract” section, you’ll catch an additional nod to Cowell there.

Paula Abdul Responds to Ellen Selection
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, News
Wondering how Paula Abdul feels about being replaced by Ellen DeGeneres?
While I doubt she’s entirely pleased with the situation, she apparently has nothing bad to say about the talk show host. At least, there’s nothing she can say with only 140 characters.
Just moments ago, the former judge issued this comment via Twitter:
“I think Ellen will b a gr8 judge on Idol. She is wildly funny, talented and I wish her the best of luck!”

Breaking News: Ellen DeGeneres Replaces Abdul as Fourth Idol Judge
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, News
I guess Paula Abdul won’t be making a last-minute return after all…
Just yesterday, I was joking that Ellen DeGeneres was the newest dancer on So You Think You Can Dance. Turns out she will take on an entirely different role on FOX very soon.
It’s just been announced that the talk show host will become the next judge on American Idol. No—not a guest judge. The show’s permanent fourth judge.

Simon Cowell Calls American Idol Different Without Paula Abdul
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip
“I miss her, of course I miss her,” Simon Cowell recently told interviewers. The judge is still smarting from the departure of Paula Abdul from American Idol. The reality show has been scrambling ever since to fill her place with random guest judges. There’s no word on what they’re going to do to fill the gap - or if they will - when the show begins in January.
“It’s like comparing a carrot to a banana,” Cowell says of the judging table without Paula, calling the show “different” now that she’s gone.
Though Abdul has been absent from the auditions, there is still some reason to believe she might be returning for the stage-singing rounds of the show.

Katy Perry Talks About Judging American Idol
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Video
If Simon Cowell was bothered at all by Paula Abdul’s departure, he might feel better when Katy Perry comes to town. In an interview with E! News, the future guest judge claims she is a fan of the American Idol critic.
Perry, who isn’t planning to bring a “build them up, Buttercup” approach to the show, predicts she and Cowell might form a nice bond. “I might become a little bit of a buddy with Simon. Because whenever I watch that show, as much as he’s an a**hole, he is a very truthful, honest a**hole.”

Joe Jonas: Future American Idol Judge
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip
As hard as it might be to believe, the Jonas Brothers can be separated from each other. For the proof, watch American Idol‘s upcoming season.
Although he previously visited the program as a member of his trio, Joe Jonas will be making a return to the FOX series as a solo act. The boy bander is now the latest musician to serve as a guest judge on Idol.
Jonas’ stint in Dallas will follow the appearances of both Victoria Beckham and Mary J. Blige. Other celebrities on tap include Katy Perry and country singer Shania Twain. Although a Kelly Clarkson cameo had been rumored, a source tells Us Weekly that the Season 1 winner will not be participating.
Season 9 of American Idol premieres in January.

Victoria Beckham Excited Over ‘American Idol’ Gig
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol
We weren’t kidding when we reported earlier that American Idol must go on, and Victoria Beckham is surprisingly not kidding when it comes to her excitement over her involvement with the show.
“When I got the phone call, I just couldn’t believe it. I feel like I got the best job that there is. I’m still grinning from ear to ear,” Paula Abdul‘s replacement admitted on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show.
Grinning? Victoria? And here I was expecting a female version of Simon Cowell!
“I’m going to try hard to pout and not shatter the illusion that I’m a moody cow, but I don’t know if I can - I’m just so happy,” she said.
I’m not sure if I can take any more of these Posh Spice revelations.
