ABC was handing out roses today, and they were given to American Idol, America’s Funniest Videos, Celebrity Jeopardy, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, and Shark Tank.
However, The Bachelor is still waiting to find out if it will be returning for another season. It is not alone because ABC also put The Bachelorette on pause this Summer.
While their fate is still in jeopardy, The Golden Bachelor has already been picked up for another season, with Mel Owens, a 66-year-old former NFL veteran-turned-lawyer, as the dating show’s leading man.
Personally, I am surprised they picked up Shark Tank for another season without Mark Cuban. Its ratings are going to drop faster than the stock market whenever Trump announces new tariffs. Plus, who else wishes they would deport Mr. not-so Wonderful back to Canada?
We have learned more about Carrie Underwood since she became a judge on American Idol than we have known about her over the last twenty years.
We discovered that she knows the lyrics to any song from Country to Metal and everything in between.
Yesterday, we found even more about her. If someone asked you, “What movies do you think are Carrie Underwood’s favorites?” You would probably say something like the Disney Musical movies. And you would be wrong.
When a contestant asked her what her three favorite films are, the Jesus Take the Wheel singer said, “Probably, Halloween…Nightmare on Elm Street, I’ve seen all of them. The Alien franchises.”
I grew up on Horror movies, and it shows. However, with Underwood, it doesn’t. Therefore, it makes sense that Luke Bryan would say, “I’m scared to sit by her at this point.”
Good thing she didn’t say The Fly with Jeff Goldblum, because then Bryan should be afraid, be very afraid.
Now that I know that she loves scary features, I like her. I just think she needs to widen her movie selections. So, I am going to give a list of suggestions to my friends who cover Idol to give to her!
Jelly Roll’s career is on a roll, and now the singer found himself a new job.
After a successful appearance on American Idol last year, the singing competition has asked him back. Not for one episode, but several!
Roll will be the first Artist in Residence. According to Variety, that means he will be “a permanent fixture this season and will work closely with the Idol hopefuls, giving them firsthand advice on how to navigate the journey.”
The Grammy winner is going to Hollywood, as in that is the first time we will see him this season.
“Had to lift up @ryanseacrest just like I’m gonna lift up the @americanidol hopefuls! ,” he wrote. “Honored to be Idol’s first-ever ARTIST IN RESIDENCE—mentoring with heart, soul, and real experience! ”
Jelly is not the only new person on the long-running show. Carrie Underwood went from being a contestant on season 4 to being a judge on season 23.
So, I have to wonder if they brought him on because she is not working out, so they are bringing him in to give the program some excitement. Either that, or are Lionel Richie and/or Luke Bryan thinking of retiring from the series after this season like Katy Perry did last year?
Jelly Roll’s first appearance will be on March 9th.
We have not seen Ryan Seacrest since the clock struck midnight on January 1st. Since then, he has changed his appearance.
The host of American Idol is now sporting a beard. And it is pretty impressive growth for a week (this video is old but I just saw it today). Who knew he could grow facial hair like that?
I wonder who inspired him: Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, or both.
Do you like it, or do you think he needs to break up with her?
The ABC version of American Idol is finally rid of Katy Perry, and they got season 4 winner Carrie Underwood to replace her.
I guess it is a big deal to the network. So much so that they are going to air a preview episode of the singing competition after the Oscars on March 2nd.
During that episode, we will watch as Carrie Underwood is welcomed into the mix by host Ryan Seacrest and co-judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan. Not only that, but we will also get to see a few auditions from the 23rd/8th season that premieres in its regular timeslot a week later.
I get that it is probably ABC’s biggest show, but I would have asked for 9-1-1 to do a standalone Oscars episode. Like there is a case of food poisoning going on at the show, and now Station 118 has to try to save all of these sick celebrities who are barfing and shitting all over the place! Or there is a fire outside the theater, and the attendees are trapped inside. There is so much that they could’ve done than making us fall asleep watching vanilla Underwood.
