American Idol Snubs MySpace Contestants
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video,
American Idol has opened up the Internet as a viable auditioning option for the first time ever in Season 10 - giving singers who haven’t the means, time or money to travel to one of the audition cities the chance to compete.
Here’s the rub: if they do get accepted for a callback, the MySpace singers have to fly to LA on their own dime. The show that makes millions of dollars just for using the Coca-Cola symbol every chance they get won’t even foot the bill for their own contestants.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video,
The tenth season of American Idol doesn’t premiere until January, but there’s no reason you should have to go without. The online auditions, an Idol first which was just implemented this year, are available for public viewing. Why wait to hear all the terrible singing…and, if you’re lucky, that rare moment of brilliance?
Of course, you won’t be hearing any soul-crushing feedback from Simon Cowell…but neither will any other Idol fans. View the video above to get just a small taste of what you’ll be hearing when you watch the online auditions.
Parents who absolutely don’t want their kids to
expose themselves may take advantage of the “Parent Takedown” link, which provides a short, pop-up form requesting video removal.

Why was Scott MacIntyre Cut from American Idol Finale?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol,
Days after the American Idol finale, there’s one question still lingers. (No - not whether Adam Lambert should do ballards or Broadway.) What really happened to Scott MacIntyre’s performance?
The answer to that mystery depends on who you believe: MacIntyre or Billy Joel’s camp.
According to a post on Scott’s MySpace page, his featured performance was cut due to an absent celebrity. The finalist had apparently been scheduled to play the piano opposite Matt Giraud in a “Tell Her About It” face-off. Unfortunately, a last-minute cancellation by Joel meant pulling the number altogether.

How I Met Your Mother’s 50 Reasons to Have Sex
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, CBS, Gossip,
If you were one of the many who saw last week’s How I Met Your Mother, you might still be chuckling about several great moments from “The Naked Man” episode.
Those who don’t currently follow the program missed out on Barney’s conversation with Ted about the best nude man pose. (A nicely-toned Neil Patrick Harris is demonstrating the “Burt Reynolds” up above.) Fans of HIMYM also learned several of Lily’s 50 Reasons to Have Sex. (She was trying to prove to her husband, Marshall, that there were other reasons out there besides “love.”)
Now, thanks to that handy tool called MySpace, we’re getting our chance to see the full list compiled by the MacLaren’s Irish Pub crew. You can see the Top 50 after the jump.

Will Real Housewives’ Kim Zolciak Really Make an Album?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Cable, Gossip, Video,
Anyone with a pair of ears - or any set of standards - knows one thing: Kim Zolciak can’t sing. Unfortunately, that’s something the delusional star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta refuses to believe.
Despite her disastrous recording session with producer Dallas Austin - and her cringe-inducing lesson with a vocal coach (that can be seen above) - Zolciak insists her career is still a go. In an interview with Essence magazine, the woman with the “God-given talent” warned us to be on the lookout for her upcoming single.
My first song, “Tight Rope,” will be out the first week in January, but I’m not sure when the album will be coming out. [Dallas Austin] wrote and produced it. He originally sent me three but I fell in love with the beat and lyrics. The song is about walking a tight rope with somebody. It [speaks] to my personal life and my relationship and just life in general. It definitely applies to my life, but after seeing that footage on the show where it looks like I can’t sing! I guess it makes for good television but it looked awful to me. People will just have to wait for my album to see the deal.

Drama at Sober Living
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip, News,
Although the show hasn’t finished filming yet, VH1’s Sober Living already promises to be an interesting watch.
Last month, we told you about the cable channel’s plans to produce a spinoff of Celebrity Rehab. On the new program, several recovering addicts would live in the same home while trying to get their lives back together. Unfortunately, we’ve already learned of one guest who has experienced a setback. We’ve also heard rumors of a guest who probably hasn’t been rehabbed yet.

Paris Hilton on Paris
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, MTV, Gossip,
Paris Hilton‘s new reality show (in it, she’ll be searching for a new best friend) has not yet hit the small screen, but fans can keep up on the progress through her MySpace blog.
That is, you can keep up with it if you can get around the glaring spelling and grammatical errors - delivered in a sort of stream-of-consciousness fashion. Yet, amazingly, the heiress has penned a best-selling book. Hilton reports that shooting her show is “quite the experience, these people are amazing!” She adds: “Everyone of the contestants is very special in there own way,” and says all are “having the best time.”
According to Hilton’s blog, she took “some of the contestants” with her to Japan and Las Vegas. She cautions, however, “not everything is all fun and games.” She talks of “brutal” challenges and the fact that she doesn’t like the eliminations.
Paris added a note on her personal life, and actually threw in a plug for boyfriend Benji Madden’s blog. The show, by the way, will be coming to MTV in September.

Although it’s been a while since we’ve seen Robin Sparkles on American television (she was discovered back in November 2006), fans won’t have to wait much longer.
Come April 21, How I Met Your Mother‘s favorite Canadian pop star (a.k.a. Robin’s early years) will be showing us a much softer side. Here’s a preview of her Debbie Gibson-esque ballad “Sandcastles in the Sand.” (Check out the other ‘80s icons in the clip.)
If you haven’t had the chance to experience Robin’s breakout hit, “Let’s Go to the Mall”, you can see that video after the jump. Those wanting even more Sparkle can also learn about the acid wash loving singer through her MySpace page.
