For almost decade all a lot of us have wanted to do was silence Simon Cowell and now Verizon has him to doing it to himself! X marked the spot with duct tape on his mouth factor and the singing contestants of the world sang out a note of relief. I betcha that Demi Lovato wished it was her doing it and I bet in a way he was hoping it would be her too.
The CW has told one of their new shows what their future holds and for Arrow it is great news! The show’s star Stephen Amell broke the news by Tweeting, “Best way to start a Monday? Getting picked up for your back nine episodes. Thwick. #Arrow” The news comes as no surprise as the DC Comics adaptation kept most of its audience during its second week and I am sure it will only grow from here on out.
Arrow joins Fox’s Ben and Kate and The Mindy Project, and NBC’s Go On, Revolution and The New Normal as the first freshman shows the networks picked up for the season. CBS and ABC have yet to pick up any news shows, although CBS had the first cancelled show of the season.
Meanwhile over at Fox, they are singing the praises of The X Factor by renewing that show for a third season. No word which judges will be back, but I highly doubt Britney Spears will be returning to the show. Maybe they can get Lindsay Lohan to fill her seat.
UPDATE: Renewing shows isn’t only happening on broadcast TV, because Showtime renewed the Emmy winning Homeland for a third season.
Ever since it has been rumored that Nicki Minaj would be a judge on American Idol with Mariah Carey, TMZ has been saying that two would not get along. Well they finally got it right because yesterday they got their hands on a video of the two woman verbally fighting. It got so ugly that Minaj reportedly threatened to knock Mariah out, but sadly that was not caught on video.
After that confrontation between the two divas, the producers cancelled auditions for the day in North Carolina so that the two could cool down. No word yet from Idol, if the show go will on and if all 4 judges will be there.
If their fight was for real and not a ploy to get people to watching the ageing singing competition, I wonder if the producers will be able to keep both women on the show or if they will even want to work together. I mean it isn’t like Fox hasn’t replaced a judge between the audition rounds and the live shows before, so why wouldn’t they do it again now. Plus we already learned that the 4 judge format doesn’t work.
Here is what they were saying to each other in the video:
Nicki Get this s**t in self control. Get in control. Get in control.
Randy Settle down, settle down.
Nicki Don’t lose your head. Don’t lose your head (inaudible). Don’t tell me I’m a gangster.
Nicki (inaudible) every 5 minutes. So every time you patronize me, I’m-ma take it back, and if you’ve got a f**king problem, handle it.
Nicki I told them I’m not f**kin’ putting up with her f**king highness over there. Figure it the f**k out. Figure it out.
Mariah Oh why, WHYYYY .do I have a three year old sitting around me?
Nicki I’m not gonna sit here every f**king minute to have you come down and harass me every minute everyday.
Mariah I can’t see my kids, because you decided to act like a little crazy bitch and go all around the stage.
UPDATE: Keith Urban Tweeted the below picture and said “Gearing up for day 2 of @americanidol #idolauditions in Charlotte!” All I could think when I saw that picture is where is the bullet proof vest? The armor? What will we be able to protect himself with if he is caught in the middle of that not-so-friendly-fire again today? We need to keep Nicole Kidman’s husband alive.
Carem Electra might have appeared on the Fox dating show The Choice over the summer, but she landed one of the network’s biggest stars over the weekend on her own.
According to In Touch she did the X Factor with Simon Cowell. A source told the mag, “They were really into each other.†The source added, “At one point, they were talking real close, and he leaned in and kissed her. They started making out!†So what attracted him to the woman that has been married to Dennis Rodman and Dave Navaro, he said that he chose her guest on Britain’s Got Talent because “She has the best set of … teeth I have ever seen.†Who knew teeth was his thing? And is that thing? I thought guys didn’t like women to have teeth, you know for that one thing they like but never get as much as they want.
Simon Cowell is continuing his press tour for The X Factor and this time he is bringing Demi Lovato with him instead of Britney Spears. Yesterday the two of them were on Conan and they told the TBS late night host how they really feel about each other. Let’s just say if she wasn’t almost a third of his age, I bet the two of them would be getting married. Seriously am I the only who feels there is a sexual tension between them?
But it wasn’t only about Simon thinking she is annoying and Demi thinking he is a bit of an a$$hole, the King of Mean also talked about his rumored breakdown. He told Conan O’Brien that he decided to take six weeks off from the communicating with people and that was all. Bummer I was hoping for something more exciting, but I guess I can settle for his outrageous paparazzi picture that Conan shared with all of us! I bet even Demi thought he was being bratty.
