Joe Jonas Guest Judge On 'American Idol'

Share




I love the Jonas Brothers. I kind of love American Idol. I guess this is a match made in television ratings heaven. It was confirmed today the middle brother Joe Jonas is going to be hitting the Idol trail as a guest judge during the auditions round for American Idol season nine.

Joe is going to be just one of the many guest judges lined up to fill Paula Abdul's place that was left suddenly vacant when she decided not to return to the show. Other celeb judges include Victoria Beckham, who we are told has finished up her stint after two cities, Katy Perry and possibly former Idol winner Kelly Clarkson. Although the details on Kelly are a little sketch.

Personally, I don't know why they picked Joe to be the guest judge. I fee like they should have picked Nick Jonas since he is really the brains behind the whole JoBro operation. They probably picked Joe cause he's kinda the "lead singer." See that would make sense. Plus he's pretty to look at. And he's single now, so all the teenage girls can watch the episode and pretend that he is talking to them. I wish Kevin Jonas would talk to me. Damn him for being engaged!

I'm kinda really excited about this episode though. I'm not even that into Idol anymore and I know for a fact that I will be sitting in front of the television with my bowl of popcorn ready for Joe to pop up on my screen. Anyone else excited about watching Joe and Simon Cowell attempt to banter? Or Joe and Randy Jackson? At least I hope they do. Or Joe and . That could be really funny as well. Ahh, gotta love the Idol.

Victoria Beckham Continues To Be An 'Idol' Judge

Share




She was just supposed to be there for one round of auditions, but it seems that Victoria Beckham will be filling the fourth American Idol judge seat for a little while longer.

According to reports, the former Spice Girl was in Boston to judge the callbacks for contestants who were invited back for another round. Some have described her as "icy and wooden" but I guess that the people over at American Idol just don't seem to care.

Last week Posh Spice confessed to being nervous about judging, but also excited to see how her banter with judge Simon Cowell would go. Obviously it won't be as much fun as watching Paula Abdul and Simon trying to communicate, but I still think it's probably a little bit entertaining.

American Idol doesn't return for its ninth season until January, but you can be sure that we're gonna be getting constant Idol updates until then. I wonder who they're gonna get as their next celebrity judge? What if Victoria becomes like their permanent new judge? That would be crazy!

Taylor Swift & Brad Paisley Rock The 2009 CMT Music Awards

Share




Although it was all about country music at the CMT Music Awards in Nashville, there was a wide variety of stars in attendance at the event. T-Pain teamed up with Taylor Swift for their humorous music video bit and the B-52s showed up to rock the audience with a rendition of their classic hit "Love Shack."



Young protegee Swift nabbed the awards for Female Video of the Year and Video of the Year for "Love Story." Brad Paisley took home three prizes, the most of the evening. He snagged CMT Performance of the Year, Collaboration of the Year and Male Video of the Year.

In keeping with the theme of diversity, Taylor closed the show with Def Leppard to perform "Pour Some Sugar On Me." Sounds sticky sweet--sort of like Taylor herself.

Jessica Simpson & Tony Romo Support The L.A. Lakers

Share




Clearly, the couple consisting of Jessica Simpson and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo are Texas football fans. But we had no idea they were supporters of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team. The twosome showed up at the Staples center yesterday to watch the Lakers beat the Orlando Magic 100-74, along with a host of other celebrity fans.

A more familiar set of famous faces included staunch Laker fans Jack Nicholson, Anthony Kiedis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Penny Marshall and Tobey Maguire. In fact, it's rumored that Nicholson's movie shooting schedules are required to accomodate the Lakers basketball season. And that's how he's had nearly perfect attendance at their games for over three decades.

Now that's a man who doesn't have a problem with commitment.

Paula Abdul's Face Is Simon Cowell's Canvas

Share



Holy shit. Paula Abdul clearly can no longer feel anything from the neck up. During a review of a performance delivered by 16-year-old American Idol contestant Allison Iraheta, Simon Cowell leaned over with a marker and proceeded to doodle a mustache on Paula's upper lip.


During her evaluation of Iraheta, Cowell giggled while Abdul covered up her cartoon mustache with her hands. But she knows she loved it! This one is such a nut and Simon is totally into it.

I'm going to predict the eventual emergence of a sex tape of those two involving choreographed dance moves, costumes and lots of gnashing of the teeth.

'American Idol' Wild-Card Contestants Get Second Chance

Share




It was the judges who decided which 8 American Idol contestants would get an opportunity to compete for another round tonight as Wild Card selections. Last night (Wednesday), judge Simon Cowell explained why it was up to him, Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Kara DioGuardi to make the call.

"Certain people we think made stupid song choices, or they were just in a tough group, so we totally, totally support this system," the often hard-nippled judge explained.

Those lucky eight ended up being Anoop Desai, Jesse Langseth, Matt Giraud, Megan Joy Corkery, Rick Braddy, Jasmine Murray, Tatiana Del Toro and Von Smith. Don't squander it, kids.

'American Idol' Bikini Girl Katrina Darrell Hollywood Bound

Share




Preying on newly single Simon Cowell's weakness for bronze girls in skimpy clothes, bikini-clad American Idol contestant Katrina Darrell showed up to auditions wearing nothing more than a string bikini.

Although not all the judges were convinced that her rendition of "Vision of Love" was worthy of keeping her in the competition, Darrell got her "golden ticket" to Hollywood based on the support from the Randy Jackson and Simon. Although, we do suspect Randy was just trying to help Simon out.



Paula Abdul and Kara DioGuardi were NOT TRYING TO HAVE IT, but despite their efforts to shut out the lil' hoochie mama, the Phoenix, Arizona resident is continuing on. Oh yes, make sure to watch the end of the video where she mauls Ryan Seacrest, further confusing his already questionable sexuality.
