Some final thoughts, the morning after the Grammys … Best Idol-related tweet about the Grammys It came from season five contestant and Christian artist Mandisa. She wrote: “I already got my dress for the Dove Awards, but after seeing Lady Gaga, Cee-Lo and Nicki Minaj, I’m thinkin I might need to step it up. A…
Looks like Lady Gaga is determined to steal the scene at the 2011 Grammy Awards. If you’re tuned in to E!’s pre-Grammy shows, you will know that … Gaga impersonators set a Guinness world record for most gathered in one spot at one time at about 6 p.m. on E! Gaga’s new single, “Born This…
As has become tradition, the stars turned out Saturday night for the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala. Among those on hand, Grammy-nominated Adam Lambert and former Grammy recipient Jennifer Hudson. Here are some early photos from the event. I’ll be posting more as they become available. At the bottom, you’ll also find photos of Crystal Bowersox…
Jennifer Hudson’s new single, “Where You At,” wasn’t even available as a single until Tuesday, and it’s already roaring up the Billboard Hip-Hop/R&B chart. The song debuted at 53 last week, jumps to 37 this week and will almost assuredly soar again next week. Jennifer appeared on Oprah Thursday afternoon in what turned out to…

We’ll have to wait until Sunday to find out, of course, but Idol seems to face better odds than a year ago, when Carrie Underwood and the “Ain’t Misbehavin’” cast accounted for the only show-related nominations. This year, Carrie is one of three Idols with…
Well, Idol had a chance to introduce us to some new faces on the first day of Hollywood Week. Instead, the show decided to reacquaint us with its favorites, some of whom we’d just met the night before. Hey, Nigel might be back in the saddle, but it’s the same ol’ Idol. That said, here’s what…
All I can say is I hope the Kodak Theatre was well stocked with tissues when American Idol’s Hollywood episodes were filmed. Because many of those dreams Jennifer Lopez hesitated to dash during the auditions are going to be dashed in Hollywood. By the dozens. By the hundreds, as a matter of fact. Last year,…
After that horrendous L.A. audition episode, American Idol made up for lost time Wednesday night. Wow, we met a slew of talented singers. For more on show-ender, James Durbin, go here. Among the highlights: Julie Zorilla: She told the of how her family fled their mountain-top home in Colombia in the face of guerilla warfare on Idol….
So, we met a rocker with a heart-wrenching backstory Wednesday night. James Durbin, 21, of Santa Cruz, lost his bass guitar-playing dad to a drug overdose when he was 9, before he ever really knew him. He has strugged with Tourette syndrome and Asperger’s, a high-functioning form of autism. And he and his love, Heidi,…
Tonight apparently marks the final audition episode for American Idol season 10. There’s good and bad in that. Good because, after tonight, we can stop wasting our time watching crazies who have no chance at the season 10 crown. Everyone had enough comic relief after the L.A. episode? Thought so. Bad because there are still…
