American Idol is dropping in the ratings faster than Jennifer Lopez loses husbands and yet they sat on a goldmine that could’ve garnered them a lot of viewers. Jim Carrey’s daughter Jane auditioned for the show yesterday and they didn’t promote it. Seriously Fox if you would’ve said that one of the biggest star’s daughter is trying out for the singing competition, I would’ve watched to see who it was. But you didn’t, so I didn’t. Oh, well thankfully there is YouTube to do your job for you.
Now when it comes to Carrey’s little girl, how awwworable and likable is the young mother? You know she will make it through because of who her daddy is. Well that and she is so darn cute. Unless she gets disqualified because her dad was on a show on their network and J-Lo knew her when she was just 2 years old. Do they have a stipulation if you know one of the judges, you can’t be on the show?
Back to Jenny from the Block don’t you love when she says to Jane, “I worked with Jim. I remember you when you were little. Do you remember me? I was one of the Fly Girls.” And then Jane looks at her like yeah I know and then disses her by saying “I think I was like two.” Ouch.
Last night was the start of a new season of American Idol and Jimmy Kimmel Live wanted to see if anyone could name who won the singing competition last year. So he sent Cousin Sal out on to Hollywood Blvd to interview the people on the street and asked them that very question. Person after person was stumped, as I was for the most part of that bit. But then finally at the end one woman was able to say the name, and can you remember who that person was? If you can’t, then maybe you are like me and gave up the show because you realized it wasn’t worth caring about anymore.
BTW you have to watch that video not only to find out who won American Idol 10, but also to see a man with the cutest laugh and a girl confuse her dad for another reality star she shouldn’t have.
When Simon Cowell announced that The X Factor had hired LA Reid to judge on the show, we all Googled him to see what he looked like and were shocked to find out he looks just like Randy Jackson. Well Simon’s new singing competition has come and gone and no one asked the only American Idol judge what he thought about his clone on the Idol clone show. That was until yesterday when Jimmy Kimmel did with side-by-side pictures of the two men and his reaction was classic to the second group of pictures.
My hat is off to Kimmel for asking what we all wanted to know. Although I didn’t need to know that the ABC host saw Ryan Seacrest naked and describe what it was like.
Before The X Factor started on Fox, announced judge Cheryl Cole was fired and replaced by then co-host Nicole Scherzinger. Now that the show has wrapped its first season, Simon Cowell hints there will be more firings. The Mean One told People’s TV Watch, “Can we make the show better? Yes. I will never ever go into anything going forward unless I can believe I can make it better.” He then added one way he plans on doing that, “Next year will be a bloodbath. We have to come out with something better than the rest, and that’s what we aim to do.”
Many suspect that one of the people getting the axe is host Steve Jones who didn’t really connect with American audiences and felt awkward during the eliminations. Also on the awkward front and not connecting is Pussycat Dolls Nicole Scherzinger and some are speculating she will do what she was suppose do in the second season what she was suppose to do in the first and will replace Jones. and just be a host There is a 50/50 that the Randy Jackson look-alike without the catchphrases might be gone and I for one hope that LA Reid is missing from the show because he added nothing for me.
I think Simon does have to clean house and just like The Voice he needs to get contemporary names to fill those all the vacating slots. Who do you want to see join the show in the fall to make you watch?

Simon Cowell is on vacation in the Barbados and I thought he was wearing one of his usual tight black shirts on the beach. Then when I looked closer, I realized that he wasn’t wearing a shirt but instead it was his hairy chest. Whoops!
BTW I love how his moobs and him think that they have The X Factor when they see two pretty woman walking by. Wonder if he made it through to next round…their hotel room?
