Erik Estrada is lending Ryan Seacrest his famous CHiPs uniform to dress as for Halloween. When one of the American Idol’s host’s co-workers went to pick up the costume, Erik detailed all the little nuances and secrets we never knew that went into making him look so good on the show. My favorite part is the little buttons he had added on so his shirt wouldn’t rise up when he got off the bike. Well that and he had the crotch are taken in!
BTW even though he is 60, he still looks good!

What happened to Fantasia? She actually looks beautiful. I am not used to seeing her look normal. It confuses me. I am so used to bashing her for what she is wearing or her hair and in these pictures I have nothing bad to say about her. Well I could mention the tattoos, but I don’t even feel like doing that. What do you think of the new and improved Fantasia?

This picture of Kellie Pickler dressed as a hot dog (especially with her last names) has Caption Me written all over it, so go ahead and do it.
Last year was a tragic one for Jennifer Hudson with the murders of her mother, brother and nephew, but this year brought her life. According to Showbiz 411 David Daniel Otunga, Jr. came into the world yesterday weighing in 7pds, 14 ozs. Hopefully with his birth, things will be better for the Oscar winning former-American Idol contestant.
The Guardian is reporting that Simon Cowell was offered somewhere between $100-$144 million to stay on American Idol for season 10 and I don't think in these economic times anyone is worth that amount of money.
A source close to Fuller says that Cowell has already been offered three to four times the $36m he was paid for American Idol in 2008 – but then, he is the most important person on the show and the series makes $900m a year and attracts audiences of 25 million. The point is that Cowell makes nothing more than this admittedly large performance fee and that's the gap the Green deal hopes to fill.
While I understand that Idol brings in $900 million a year, Fox affils are laying off people left and right and maybe if Fox put some of the money back into the company and not into Simon Cowell's pocket more people would still have their jobs and not collecting unemployment.
Don't get me wrong, I love Simon and I want to keep on the show but is anyone worth that amount of money? Do you think he is worth over $100 million to keep him on American Idol?
