American Idol wanted to replace Mariah Carey with Jennifer Lopez? |

American Idol is down big time in the ratings and The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that the show was prepared to have Jennifer Lopez replace Mariah Carey midseason to get people watching again. Then the mag added that when Mimi heard about the plot, she threatened legal action and as you know she is still on the show. A Fox rep, Nigel Lythgoe and Freemantle North America all denied the story, but the source says that Fox reality chief Mike Darnell and Fremantle’s Cecile Frot-Coutaz were behind the plan.
If those two people really thought that that was the solution to their ratings woes, then they obviously are so out of touch with what the problem is. Viewers are suffering from singing competition fatigue. Plus the show is not about the judges, it’s supposed to be about the contestants. Fox gets more press over who will be sitting at the judging table leading up to the show, that by the time it airs you just don’t care any more. Plus didn’t they learn already with Kara DioGuardi that 4 judges is too many for the show. When you spend more time on the judges’ comments than the contestant’s singing, then it’s not working.
If Fox wants to save Idol, they need to announce next year’s judges in June and spend the time leading up to the show on the contestants who will be on it. They also need to go back to three judges. And the one thing that would really really help them is cancel The X Factor. The network was their own worst enemy by picking up and continuing with that show. There are just too many singing shows and after awhile they all just seem the same. I mean that is why I gave up all of those variety competition shows. Been there, done that!
Now when it comes to J-Lo, I wouldn’t be surprised that she started the rumor because she has probably realized she needs Idol, more than Idol needs her! It helps you career when you are on it, but when you are off of it it doesn’t do anything for you.

Does Simon Cowell’s look have the X Factor? |

I know in the late ’70s it was sexy to wear your shirt unbuttoned, but that was over the 30 years ago and Simon Cowell really needs to button up. Does anyone really want to see his hairy chest? And to make matters worse, he isn’t wearing any underwear. An image I will never get out of my head whenever I look at him from now on.
There is nothing positive about what he is wearing, can you say something nice about it?

American Idol will go live during the commercials |

If 40 minutes of American Idol‘s results show is not enough for you, then you are going to get a full 60 minutes of it tomorrow.
When AMERICAN IDOL cuts to commercial break later in the show, the behind-the-scenes excitement will continue LIVE during the ad break, giving viewers an exclusive peek from backstage, the IDOL stage and the audience. The LIVE show content will appear on-screen simultaneously alongside each official sponsor’s commercial airing during the results show. Also, the official series sponsors will gain added exposure with on-screen graphics and wraps in these double-boxed commercial pods.
The “double box†keeps viewers connected to the storytelling of the program by giving the feeling of being at a live show, in turn keeping them attentive throughout the commercial pod and continually engaged with the larger window that features the advertising message. Combined with the branding of the on-screen wrap, ad engagement is heightened over full-screen format, a significant benefit to key sponsors.
I am hoping that we get to see a smackdown between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, but I don’t think we will get anything close to that because they will know the camera is on them.
I guess this is American Idol’s way of getting people to actually watch the commercials and not fast forward through them. It will be interesting to see if it will work.
Would you tune in just for this? Do you think other shows like Dancing with the Stars and The Voice should do it too?

Simon Cowell never gets his knickers in a bunch… |

The reason why Simon Cowell never gets his panties in a twist, is because he never wears any.
Britain’s Got Talent judge David Walliams revealed to Radio 1’s Nick Grimshaw (via Press Association) that “Simon doesn’t wear underwear.” Walliams’ co-judge the competition show added Amanda Holden confirmed he goes commando all the time. She then explained they found out about during the auditions, “I can’t reveal how we discovered this.” So not fair, I want to know how she found out.
Cowell, who was also part of the interview, only nodded when asked if it was true.
His shirts might be too tight, but his pants have some extra room in them where his underwear should be. And that was something I didn’t need to know.

Mariah Carey got a helicopter ride home from American Idol |

Mariah Carey is so special to American Idol that she got a helicopter to take her home from work yesterday. Her husband Nick Cannon Tweeted the above picture and said “Leaving American Idol in the Helicopter with my amazing wife @MariahCarey #WWLD” Then to rub her co-judge Nicki Minaj’s face in their form of transportation, he then Tweeted “They always say LA traffic is the worst… Funny, I don’t see none up here!” No wonder Minaj was late last week and Mariah wasn’t. The Va Va Voom singer doesn’t get to Fly in Starships to work, she has to drive in a car like the rest of us. If I were Nicki, I would make the Fox singing competition let me take the helicopter too. And if I were Fox, I would force Nicki and Mariah to share the copter together and film their time alone in it!!! That would definitely help with the ratings and the show desperately needs something to get more viewers to tune into it.
