Paula Abdul’s come under heavy fire in recent days. As we all know, the American Idol host kind of screwed up last week when she misspoke and said she had heard both of Jason Castro’s songs when, in fact, he had only performed one. Well, Colin Schoenberger of NewNowNext recently spoke with the entertainer and got to the bottom of how the snafu went down. We would go into the details, but it’s complicated and, quite frankly, not as interesting as this: …People talk about Madonna being the queen of reinvention - and while I applaud her - I ...

My friend SurgicalSmack introduced me to Amanda Jenssen's music last week, and the more I listen, the more I like it. Sweden's version of American Idol featured Amanda earlier this year, and although she walked away a runner up, a record label quickly scooped her up. "Do You Love Me?" is Amanda's first single, and unfortunately, there isn't an official video yet, but I wanted you to get a sneak peek of the song. ...

So….here we are America! Will Jason be playing the tambourine on his way out? Will David Cook be fed to the wolves tonite? Was Syesha able to affect change on the votes? Was David Archuleta tender enough? Stay tuned….THIS is American Idol! Tonight’s musical guests include Maroon 5 and Bo Bice. Wow…we had 51 million votes last night! So [...] ...

Simon told Jason he should pack his suitcase, but Jason wouldn't be the first person I'd send home from American Idol this week. Nope, I'd tell Randy to pack his tacky rhinestoned bags. What an a-hole!Syesha blew the roof off the place with "A Change Is Gonna Come" but for Randy it fell "flat." What?! Last week there was all the brouhaha about Paula critiquing a song that had yet to be sung (you better believe they didn't try that format again this week), but this week it seemed like Randy was reading from his own dyspeptic script, one that ...

We’re down to the TOP 4 contestants. The race has never been closer and we are down to David Archuleta, David Cook, Syesha Mercado and Jason Castro. Who will make it thru to the Top 3? Your vote will decide who goes home tomorrow. So I hope you voted! The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have [...] ...

Last week, we previewed American Idol 6's Jenry Bejarano in the latest issue of Flaunt, the edgy Los Angeles-based fashion bible whose almost-monthly editorials featuring black and Latino models and actors have become required reading. Here is one more preview... ...

It’s Wednesday everyone and you know what that means! Someone is going home tonite. Will Brooke be “Believing” that she will move to the Top 4. Will Jason “Morn” his loss? Or will Syesha be the “Lord of the Nighttime” and prevail?? Hold on everyone…it’s results night! Neil Diamond is the mentor this week and it was interesting [...] ...

Is American Idol scripted or did Paula Abdul mix the wrong pills with her martini?? ...

Imho, the only moment from last night's American Idol worth repeating. AFTER THE JUMP... She must be taking psychic pills now! For those of you who missed it, Paula proceeded to critique Jason Castro on both his performances even though the contestants had only done one song. Abdul told The Insider: "It got very confusing ... the producers come up to us in the dark and said, 'We are not going to have you guys judge after each performer, we are going to have all the performers go once, then twice and at the end critique them.' I am feverishly trying ...

You knew this would happen. Remember Jenry Bejarano on American Idol 6? The drop dead gorgeous teen with the soulful voice and Tyson Beckford looks (unfortunately) did not fare well in the competition but has obviously found his true calling.... ...

Here’s another reason to vote for Jason Castro in the American Idol. I know he is not the best singer in the pack but he sure is the most charming. This bow-legged dude is just oozing with charm and appeal. See more shirtless Jason Castro after the jump. (more…) ...
