Kelly Clarkson, riding the success of her smash hit, “My Life Would Suck Without You”, is gearing up for the release of her 2nd single from her newest number 1 album, All I Ever Wanted. The album is sitting pretty at the #1 spot again this week on Billboards Hot 200. Earlier today, Camp Kelly revealed the artwork for her new single, “I Do Not Hook Up”, written by Idol judge, Kara DioGuardi, and pop star, Katy Perry. The single artwork, which has obviously been touched by a very expensive airbrush, stays within her glossy and colorful theme that she has delivered with All I Ever Wanted. What are your…

As Britney continues to trek across the U.S. on her Circus Starring Britney Spears tour, the world continues to watch to see if the pop princess has truly made a triumphant return, or if she’ll slip up and give Page Six and Perez Hilton something to write about. Unfortunately for Ms. Spears, she was caught displaying some odd behavior at a recent show. When Brit-Brit stopped at the Verizon Center on March 24th, she wished the fans a very odd sentiment (odd because it happened a week before April Fools). Was she punking us? Did she forget to take her meds? Maybe she was just proving her microphone was actually…

Check out this clip of Randy, Ryan, and America’s favorite Brit, Simon, on Leno from Monday night. They discuss the new season, the new judge (Kara), and they predict the Top 3. Check it out!

I know I wasn’t overly thrilled with the announcement of Grand Ole Opry night – and with good reason – but, I have to say that not everyone was as horrible as I would have predicted. Maybe it was just because I was watching live with my favorite Idol crew and their new addition, in Arizona, but I was actually satisified with the show’s outcome. The Idol favorites, you know who they are, weren’t the ones leaving the judges and America saying, “Yee Haw” this week. Instead it was the underdogs who came out victorious. Kris Allen, Anoop Desai, and Matt Giraud were easily my top picks this week, leading…

The multi-platinum selling girl group, Pussycat Dolls, are re-releasing their mildly successful sophomore album, Doll Domination, on April 14th. Doll Domination 2.0 will include the Dolls’ hits, “When I Grow Up”, “Whatcha Think About That (Feat. Missy Elliott), and “I Hate This Part”. New tracks will include the theme to MTV’s The City, “Top of the World”, the English remix of the Oscar winning hit song, “Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)”, as well as the tour version of “Hush, Hush” and two brand new tracks. One, titled “Painted Windows”, was confirmed by lead-singer, Nicole Scherzinger, last week. The Dolls are currently purring across America and Canada on “The Circus…

Idol-related Update: It looks like America has spoken, again – Kelly Clarkson’s new album, All I Ever Wanted, took the top spot on the Billboard 200 charts moving over 255,000 copies its first week out. Congrats to Kelly on her 2nd number one debut – the first was her debut release, Thankful, in 2003. Her follow ups, Breakaway and My December took the 2nd and 3rd spots their opening weeks. If you haven’t yet purchased Clarkson’s newest gem, you’re falling behind the rest. It’s a little early to predict, but Billboard is already predicting a second week in the top spot for All I Ever Wanted. For more on that…

Okay, so I know that this video is a bit out of date, but it’s too funny to not share with all of you.On February 16, 2009, America’s fourth Idol was spotted at an Ottawa Senators game (vs. Nashville Predators). It is said that she was there cheering on her rumored beau, Mike Fisher, but apparently she was trying to keep that information under wraps. The fan-cam caught ya Carrie – just accept it. However, earlier in the season Carrie was spotted by the “kissing cam” on the jumbo-tron sitting with some girlfriends in Fisher’s VIP box. During that encounter, Underwood, embarrassed and flushed, hugged her girlfriend next to her.…

Alright, so to kick start the Top 13 of the competition, the Idols were required to choose songs from our very own King of Pop, Michael Jackson. And if Michael Jackson were still able to conceptualize what was actually taking place on that stage, or on any stage for that matter, he might have pulled his collection of hits from the song pool. Randy started the show, as he always does, by saying, “this is the way to start Season 8”. Unfortunately, if this was the start of the season, we’d be in for a very long, very uncomfortable season. The highlights from last week’s show were less about the…

Happy Friday! As you all get ready to close down your computers and sign off your Facebook accounts for the weekend, I thought I would leave you with what ET dubs a hard, hitting and exclusive sit down interview with Kelly Clarkson. One note to Entertainment Tonight’s producers, it’s not a “revealing” interview if Idol judge, Kara DioGuardi, is conducting the interview. That’s just silly. Oh and by the way, none of the questions are new, so that leaves me wondering: What constitutes this interview as “Exclusive”. Apparently you can just throw around that word, so we will too. While not exactly exclusive, it sure is hilarious when Kara, who…

Did everyone watch last night as the Idol hopefuls debuted their act on the big stage? I’ll save my comments for tomorrow’s post, but I had to address some major concerns that you Idol lovers out there were having. Everyone is up in arms about Ryan’s big announcement that the judges would change the rules tonight. And I am here to put your minds at ease. No, they aren’t picking who goes and stays, as some people might be reporting. Before the season started Idol producer, Ken Warwick, stated in an interview that they were going to mix it up a bit this season by adding an element to the…
