Paula Abdul is going to be the next Ed McMahon! The former dancer turned singer turned judge turned singer again has reportedly been working a deal to be the next host for "Star Search." I can stop my Bring Back Paula to American Idol campaign because her drunken ramblings may return! While an ABC representative refused comment, sources told " Entertainment Weekly " that Abdul's role has yet to be defined, but will likely include some combination of hosting and judging. "The [...]

American Idol is floundering this year as Simon Cowell makes this his last year. Maybe it's the impending gloom of an American idol without Simon and the absence of Paula Abdul slurring a speech about stage presence that makes me feel half-hearted about this season. One stand out artist that is plowing ahead of the rest is Crystal Bowersox . The ladies preformed last night and most worried that Crystal would not be one of them. The AI hopeful was hospitalized after complications from her diabetes took its [...]

Before you get too excited, it's not what you may think. The singer and former American Idol judge recently told a little story about the relationship she had developed with the actor during the last years of his life. This is what Paula Abdul said on the matter: "I cultivated a real relationship with him the last 2 years of his life. It was the coolest thing. I would have tea with him- sometimes once a week, sometimes twice a week." Strange that two Americans would develop such a British relationship, but hey, as the British themselves say: whatever floats [...]

:: Fox is already starting the process of pimping out their frontrunners: in a first time move, the show will reveal only a few of the Top 24 semifinalists on Tuesday night's two-hour episode, with the rest announced at a later date. [ MJsbigblog ] :: Paula Abdul tells the Johnjay and Rich radio show that she doesn't miss Idol and that she'll soon return to TV, though she vows she'll never return to Fox.

February: Yes, we honor black history, past presidents and a small rodent who is typically afraid of his own shadow. But who are we kidding? February is all about Valentine's Day — there's the anxiety-ridden 13-day run-up to the big day and the 14-day self-pity party afterward. Some might say that America has grown too cynical for this Hallmark holiday, but the Billboard charts tell a different story. Check our list of the 14 (as in 2/14) hits that owned the #1 spot at some point during Februarys of the past 25 years. Guess what? They're all about LOVE. Go [...]

"Hollywood is disgusting. You should put on some shoes." It was a cautious yet sensible warning and one of many funny quotes doled out tonight by American Idol 's brand new permanent judge, multiple Emmy winner, comedienne, actress and daytime talk show titan Ellen Degeneres . Ellen acquitted herself quite well tonight. She was equal parts hilarious, nurturing, honest, and direct. While some may have scoffed at the choice of Degeneres to replace the loopy, goofy, sweet and dearly departed ray of sunshine Paula Abdul , I remain guardedly optimistic. Ellen has said she wants to represent [...]

I hope you all are enjoying the last season of Simon Cowell's snarky British bum on " American Idol ." Season 9 has been a carbon copy of every other season with crying contestants wailing about their talents as security escorts them out. The true talent jumps up and down with a gold piece of paper and hugs Ryan Seacrest who then asks the crew if his hair looks ok. An adorable older gentleman created a song about men's trousers hanging ridiculously from their legs. That song has gone viral and even Brett Favre loves " [...]

Simon Cowell has just confirmed the news that he will not be returning for another season of "American Idol". Rumor has it that newcomer Ellen DeGeneres is having second thoughts about taking the judging role on the show, due to time constraints. After this season of "American Idol", we'll be left with Randy Jackson , Kara DioGuardi (who I can't stand) and Ryan Seacrest . Ellen has already said that without Simon, she won't [...]

We've practiced hitting redial. We've got popcorn ready to pop. All we need is for Ryan Seacrest to intone "This. Is. American Idol! " We're armed and ready for the national gladiator match that will be Season 9, now just days away. For some, it feels like the clock has barely Tik Tok-ed forward since Kris Allen and Adam Lambert duked it out, but personally, we're on the edge of our seats to see what will clearly be a pivotal season—for Simon, for television, and possibly, for this girl . Who? Our Idol coverage begins below. [...]

Instead of Paula Abdul's drunken mess slurring her way through an hour of American Idol , we have Kara DioLOOK ATME!. My heart sagged in disappointment of my favorite vicodin piñata being thrown to the side. Now the A.I. rumor mill is turning with the news that Ellen isn't there to replace Paula…she might be there to fill the void left by Simon Cowell . The straightforward Brit has been rumored to be toying with the idea of leaving the show for several seasons. This year is no different. Word is that [...]

Filed under: New Music , You Oughta Know , Canada When the D'Urbervilles release their sophomore record, it will be interesting to see how much of it is flavoured by the Toronto-area quartet's recent jaunt into the snowy wilderness. "I really believe that geography and location does creep into what you do, which is why we like to be able to work in different places like Montreal or Toronto or my uncle's cottage," singer-keyboardist John O'Regan tells Spinner [...]

Rather than sticking backstage and schmoozing with her rock 'n' roll heroes, Gabby stumbled upon a performance by the Sippy Cups on the Kidzapalooza stage and had her mind blown by both the band and the stage.
