    Lambert Fans Lose Shirts

    May 11, 2009 /

    Adam Lambert had a semi-topless fan rush the stage during his hometown concert taping for this week’s Idol. Wonder if they will show it on the show?

    "I’m on Patron Tequila, I’m drunk on Margaritas"

    May 10, 2009 /

    Hey kids, exciting news! Tonight I get to watch The Paradiso Girls take the stage at Beta in Denver to kick off their first club tour. Denver is their first stop and I predict it’s only going to explode from here. Their first single, “Patron Tequila” is already becoming a cult favorite and is sure to be summer hit and huge club banger! The single is available on iTunes now, so if you don’t have it, you should. The girls are the newest bunch of beauties hand picked by the one and only, Robin Antin, who created The Pussycat Dolls and Girlicious. If you watched the reality series, The Pussycat…

    Fight For Love…And The Spotlight

    May 8, 2009 /

    Idol’s Season 5 contestant, Elliott Yamin, celebrated mild success with his first, self-titled, album, but he’s back with his sophomore album, Fight For Love. Today, we bring you the video for the first single and title track. He’s definitely got a talent, but he’s missing the star factor that Carrie & Kelly have brought us from years past. He’s a fighter, so I don’t think this is the last time we’ll hear from him. Lois, this one’s for you!

    Results Show Spectacular!

    May 7, 2009 /

    Last night’s Idol results show really showed up in a big way. Although, I think the thing is rigged – Alison definitely should have stayed, while Danny should have gone-key! But, the performances from last night’s show were awesome! I wouldn’t have predicted this, but Paula Abdul performance was the highlight of the show. Her comeback performance screamed that she’s ready to be back on top and she was twirling, flipping, and dancing her butt off to prove just that. Then, No Doubt, performed one of their biggest hits, “Just A Girl”, which seemed a little off, but hey they’ve been out of the scene for a while, so they’re…

    "Crazy" Fan

    May 6, 2009 /

    At a recent Britney show, a fan rushed the singer during her encore performance of “Womanizer”. The singer was spooked by the fan and, judging by this video didn’t have her microphone on during the song. No surprise, but if y’all want to meet your favorite star, remember this: Scaring the $^!+ out of them isn’t the way to do it. Take a look at the video, it happens toward the end, but you can definitely see how scared she was:

    Where Are They Now?

    May 5, 2009 /

    Tonight’s the Top 4 on American Idol and we can hardly wait to see Slash mentor the contestants to bring out their inner Axl Rose, as well as see the first time Idol makes the contestants duet as a part of the competition. We also can’t wait for the results show, which has a few surprises in store. Daughtry and No Doubt will be performing their new singles, as we previously reported, but it has just been learned that Paula Abdul will also be premiering her new single, which will apparently be the lead single from a new album coming out this Fall. And we’re hearing her performance is actually…

    Idol Update

    May 4, 2009 /

    On this week’s rock-themed show, not only will the contestants be performing a solo song, they will also team up with one of the other contestants for a “rocking” duet. This will either be incredibly great or go horribly wrong; either way it will make for some great TV. It will also, likely, have an effect on the voting, seeing as one set (whoever is teamed with Lambert) of contestants might do much better than another set – helping boost the final votes. Also, ex-Idol producer, Nigel Lythgoe, revealed that most of the time the bottom 3 is not revealed to America in the correct order. The producers are given…

    Sad news, Idol fans. David Cook’s brother, who has been battling brain cancer for some time, passed away this morning. David, who was not able to be with his brother when he passed, announced the sad news this morning after he finished the 5K Race for Hope in Washington D.C. Cook’s brother, Adam Cook, had made David try out for Idol. Had it not been for him, the world may never know David Cook, the superstar. Check out this video of David delivering the sad and emotional news this morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family during this difficult time.

    No Doubt is preparing to release a new album, their first in years, later in 2009. To kick off their promotional tour, they stopped by the Today show to perform one of their classics, “Spiderwebs”, which brought back great memories for the Idol Insider. No Doubt is one of my favorite bands of all time and I am gearing up for their summer tour and new album – it’s gonna be a great year for music! The band will appear on an upcoming episode of Gossip Girl, as well as next week’s American Idol. Until then, check out their performance on Today – my favorite part of the performance? When…

    As we know, next week’s theme is Rock Week, which should suit most of the contestants left, and Slash will be the guest mentor. Does he actually talk??? I guess, we’ll see. But the really exciting news we have for you is not about the contestants performances, but, instead, the results show. Not only will No Doubt be performing their new single, “Stand And Deliver”, but past Idol contestant, Chris Daughtry, will also be debuting his band’s new single from their sophomore album. We can’t wait – it promises to be a great show. And the new Idol songs don’t stop there. Jordin Sparks, season 6 winner, will debut her…
