Thu Jun 2 2011 by Robbie Daw
Haley Reinhart's performance of an original song was scrapped at the last minute during last week's American Idol finale (thanks a lot, Bono) but at least the smoky singer had another day in the sun this morning by appearing on Live! With Regis And Kelly. Her appearance followed up those of Idol winner Scotty McCreery and runner-up Lauren Alaina this week. And, no, Haley didn't get to dazzle Rege with any original music. She opted for "House Of The Rising Sun" instead.

Wed Jun 1 2011 by Becky Bain
Poor Haley Reinhart! First, the fan favorite gets voted off American Idol right before the finals, then she gets mercilessly teased with the possibility of filling in for a laryngitis-stricken Lauren Alaina, and to top it off, her original song was shelved at the last minute due to the inclusion of Bono, The Edge and Reeve Carney's performance of "Rise Above" from the Spider-Man musical. "That was going to happen," she tells The Hollywood Reporter about debuting her original tune on the finale. "And then Bono came in and it was taken away." More »

‘American Idol’ Finale: We Judge The Performances
Thu May 26 2011 by Becky Bain
Okay, so most of our predictions for American Idol Season 10 didn't end up happening, but we can't say we're that upset with country crooner Scotty McCreery being crowned champ. Besides seeing the 17-year old being rubbed by all his fellow Idols (and smooched on the cheek by runner-up Lauren Alaina), last night's finale was really about the high-profile performances. And since we have nothing else to judge or critique as the season is over and done with, let's rate the performances from best to worst... and weirdest. More »

Mon May 23 2011 by Robbie Daw

After a brief hiatus, the Billboard Music Awards returned to television to honor this year's chart toppers.

Watch Another Movie Trailer Starring 50 Cent
Wed Mar 23 2011 by Becky Bain
After watching 50 Cent's unintentionally hilarious Things Fall Apart trailer, the rapper's next movie looks like Citizen Kane by comparison.

Between his rap career, his snow-shoveling business and his pro-bono work offending people on Twitter, where does 50 Cent find time to be in all these movies? Setup trailer below.
