As I’ve said before, Kellie Pickler just makes me smile. Apparently, Pickler’s in a pickle. In a blog posted Saturday night, she writes about finding this perfect pair of shoes in the Christian Louboutin store in New York last week. “I mean when I saw these babies displayed in the store my jaw hit the…
Simon Cowell hates country music. It’s a well-known fact. Well, Simon might want to get in touch with his inner twang. Because look back over the years and, fact is, three of the most successful former Idol contestants are country artists. There’s Carrie Underwood, of course. Only Kelly Clarkson, the original Idol, rivals Carrie in…
So, was that lava red dress the secret to success? Doubtful.

Wow, was it just me? Or was Simon Cowell being a bit petulant at the end of Wednesday night’s results show? Just because someone wasn’t crushed by one of his harsh critiques?

If, like me, you went looking for a free listen to Michael Johns’ first post-Idol single, “Heart on My Sleeve” this week, you probably couldn’t find it. Good reason for that.
