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


The mood was appropriately grave at the top of the Wednesday night hour. It was a somber Ryan Seacrest who started off the evening by saying, “one will face the fire.” He also inferred that the evening would hold “shocking” results.

Could it be that, as suspected, Adam Lambert was up on the chopping block? The audience would have to wait awhile to find out what the evening held.

First, the filler. The Top 11 were seated on the stage, the judges were introduced, the performances of the evening hyped. Clips from Tuesday night aired, which featured mentor Randy Travis.

The Top 11 then performed “Trouble,” which started out with the men. Scott MacIntyre jammed on the piano while the male contestants sang, horribly out of harmony, before the girls appeared to gyrate oddly and screech onstage. I didn’t much care for the group number.

Even while the Idols sing a path across the U.S. (they’ll visit 49 cities in 72 days), some of the finalists will be pulling double duty and making records at the same time. Davids Cook and Archuleta, the season’s final two men standing, will both be working on tracks even as they woo audiences.

Camp Rock

Lightning doesn’t strike twice…unless you build the right kind of rod. No one anticipated the runaway success of Disney’s High School Musical, and now the powers-that-be are determined not to be caught unawares a second time. Fanfare and fan participation became the bookends of the High School Musical 2 marketing campaign…and even this pales in comparison to the star treatment the network is giving the soon-to-be-released .

The promos have been going strong for weeks, the Web site is filled with glitter and pizazz, and the debut is scheduled for June 20. Are you itching to set your DVR?

With the co-starring and a crop of fresh-faced youngsters, Disney is treating Rock like it’s the heir apparent to the Musical throne (the stars of which are moving quickly past the high school stage of their lives). But…is it?

‘Dancing With The Stars’ Extends Invite to Hillary Clinton

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Gossip

Hillary Clinton, Tyra BanksDuring last month’s sit down with Tyra Banks, Hillary Clinton said she would like to perform on .  (Okay - what she really said was given a choice of competing on either the dancing competition or America’s Next Top Model, she should probably be on the former.)  Well that remark not only amused the audience, it perked up a few ears at ABC.

Just last week, Jared Paul, DWTS’ co-producer, extended an invitation to the presidential candidate.  Although the reality show is not currently taping, it is still on tour.  It’s Paul’s hope that the senator will exploit one of their upcoming stops for her own campaign purposes.  (This is what you would call a win-win situation.) would be given her pick of male dancer and preferred style of dance.

While an appearance would seem unlikely, Hillary has been doing all she can to drum up support.  And really - this wouldn’t be that much different from her stints on Tyra, Letterman or the Ryan Seacrest radio show.  So who knows? 

As of today’s date, she has four tour stops left to choose from (CT, RI, PA).  Let’s see if she can manage to squeeze in another gig.
