Yesterday American Idol announced their best looking 24 in American Idol history and above you can watch their first of many photoshoots. Starting next Tuesday at 8p on Fox we get to hear the Top 12 girls perform for the first time then on Wednesday it is the boys turn and finally a week from tonight we send four of them home making the Top 24 the Top 20. So what will their first theme night be next week? Well the Top 24 boys and girls will sing a Top 10 hit from the Hot 100 chart. Hopefully they will stay current or Simon will call them old fashioned. On that note can you believe the white haired girl is only 20? She looks older than me. Hopefully someone will dye her hair before Tuesday and make her look younger. You can still be edgy without looking like this year’s Taylor Hicks. Remember him?
BTW the other big thing about next week’s performances we will get to truly see if Ellen DeGeneres was a worthy decision to replace Paula Abdul or will she make cheesy one liners like she did when she was a judge on So You Think You Can Dance…
Gary Coleman was on The Insider and he was asked by attorney Lisa Bloom, if he abused his wife and he told her to f*ck off before storming off the set. We all have all seen the reports that he has anger issues, but I agree with Carnie Wilson that she was provoking him. When she saw him getting upset she should have laid off of him until he calmed down and then asked him again. But coming at him like that was so not cool. It is good TV, but not cool.
So a few weeks ago Samantha Harris announced she was leaving Dancing with the Stars and a lot people were like yay I can watch the show again because she is gone. Well now comes word that Brooke Burke is up for the job. The DWTS winner (I had to look that up) Tweeted, “btw, the news about me hosting DWTS is true. I am screen testing next week for the job, fingers crossed! It would be amazing 2 be back!” Seriously out of all the past contestants, she is the one they are considering? I thought she was so boring and forgettable when she was on the show, that I forgot she was on it. Plus I thought she was an unnecessary host when she did Rock Star on CBS.
C’mon there are better former contestants with more personality that they should consider to do that job like Lisa Rinna and Joey Fatone. Who do you think should co-host with Tom Bergeron?
Before Jim Belushi did According to Jim for 8 seasons, he did Working Stiffs, a show with Michael Keaton that only had 5 episodes air. The 25 year old actor looks the same now as he did in that 1979 sitcom, but with his late brother’s hair.
