‘American Idol’ Hollywood Week: So Stressful, People Are Literally Fainting
Thu Feb 9 2012 by Becky Bain
Some people come to Hollywood and become stars. Others get kicked to the curb. And yet some others faint and fall off stage. Before we get into the talent portion of American Idol's Hollywood Week (Part I!), let's cut right to the shocking moment everyone will be talking about today: 16-year-old Symone Black's performance of "Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay". Everything goes fine during her a cappella audition, but during a brief chat with the judges afterwards, Symone begins to stumble, falls off the stage, and seems to be knocked unconscious. The credits began to roll as PAs (and Symone's dad) rush to her side, thus providing the most horrifying cliffhanger scene of any episode of American Idol in the show's history.

‘American Idol’ St. Louis Auditions: Did They Find Another Carrie Underwood?
Fri Feb 3 2012 by Becky Bain
Show of hands, how many of you honestly forgot Carrie Underwood was on American Idol? The country singer has seen so much success since she was crowned champ in Season 4, we have a hard time remembering she was once forced to suffer through Broadway musical night and participate in those terrible Ford music videos. But Idol will not let you forget that they are responsible for your beloved country warbler! Last night's stop in St. Louis began with an overdramatic prologue featuring footage of a pre-fame Underwood planning her road trip to the Missouri city to audition for the show. Did the judges find somebody just as worthy to win as Carrie? Find out below. More »
‘American Idol’ Portland Auditions: Hipsters And Sob Stories
Thu Feb 2 2012 by Becky Bain
American Idol made its first ever audition cattle call in Portland, Oregon, and though the city is commonly stereotyped for its organic-living, irony-accepting citizens, the episode was surprisingly light on the references to Portland's alternative culture. (Though it wasn't totally scenester-free — say hello to Idol's token hipster, Brittany Zika.) Head below for the five contestants from the Northwest you'll want to keep in mind when Hollywood Week begins on February 8. More »

Mon Jan 30 2012 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Two of pop’s sassiest ladies, Jennifer Lopez and Jordin Sparks, dropped by the Today Show this morning. J.Lo was part of the earlier show where she chatted up Season 11 of American Idol to Matt Lauer, while Jason Derulo’s main squeeze was filling in for Kathie Lee alongside Hoda Kotb for the 10 o’clock hour of the morning show. The fashionable Idol judge sported an all-white ensemble, while Jordin donned a sassy raspberry-colored Kevan Hall dress, which the designer called “amazing” on the young singer. Now it’s time for you pop-loving style aficionados to weigh in: Who was best dressed at 30 Rockefeller Plaza this morning? Tell us below or let us know on Facebook and Twitter. More »
‘American Idol’: Kristine Osorio And Ramiro Garcia Make Texas Proud
Fri Jan 27 2012 by Robbie Daw
If you thought American Idol was aiming to be softer and gentler this season — with less emphasis on, shall we say, quirky hopefuls during the auditions for the judges to use as punching bags — then the show finally got back on track this week. We had a taste of the crazy with Magic Cyclops in Aspen. But Houston, Texas brought out Alejandro Gonzales, a 26-year-old hellbent on causing a revolution, and Phong Vu, who was hoping his spirit would make the judges "shock and wow and woooooooooo!" These oddballs managed to throw off Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler, who set up shop in nearby Galveston, and began to bicker amongst themselves during the auditions.

‘American Idol’: Angie Zeiderman & Magic Cyclops Up The Oddball Factor
Thu Jan 26 2012 by Robbie Daw
American Idol judge Steven Tyler's performance of the National Anthem on Sunday may have been an eyebrow-raiser, but who knew that just a few days later he'd have the vocal (and visual) atrocities of Magic Cylcops at the Aspen auditions to compete with? And then there was goofball Angie Zeiderman, who dazzled with her show tunes, piercings, purple hair and downright fearlessness. The offbeat singers were certainly far more entertaining than the hopefuls the judges put through to Hollywood. (And, for the record, Zeiderman did make it through — which we're thrilled about!) So let's meet this crew below.

Bruno Mars Had Top Two Worldwide Best-Selling Digital Songs Of 2011
Mon Jan 23 2012 by Robbie Daw
Adele may have ruled the school when it came to digital sales in the US last year, but it was Bruno Mars who blew up worldwide like a, well, grenade. In 2011, the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter's lovey-dovey mid-tempo jam "Just The Way You Are" wound up being the best-selling song worldwide, with sales of 12.5 million digital copies, according to The Press Association. And right behind that Bruno single was another, which sold 10.2 million copies: "Grenade".

‘American Idol’: Jim Carrey’s Daughter Jane Auditions In San Diego
Mon Jan 23 2012 by Robbie Daw
Yes, you read that correctly up above — Jane Carrey, the daughter of one of Hollywood's biggest box office draws over the past 20 years or so, hopped down into the American Idol trenches and auditioned in San Diego. Her profession? She's a waitress. But that wasn't the only surprise last night's special Sunday airing of Idol (which was staged on the docked USS Midway) held in store for judges Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. There were also bikinis, noisy jets flying overhead, noisier foghorns blaring across the water and, at the end, there was one very big, not-so-bad "Wolf".

Fri Jan 20 2012 by Idolator Staff
Did You Hear?
:: Remember those nasty things Elton John said about Madonna's chance of winning a Golden Globe? The rock legend's husband, David Furnish, also got a few digs in on Facebook, but is now trying to rationalize the remarks: “My passion for our film Gnomeo & Juliet and belief in Elton's song really got my emotional juices going." Oh, so all's forgiven then? Doubt it. [Vulture]
:: Katy Perry is the latest artist to get her own Pop Up Video. Of the fun facts we learned about "Teenage Dream": Katy's parents were on set to witness the California girl dancing half-nekkid on the beach and kissing a boy! Awkward. [MTV Buzzworthy]
:: Casper Smart may have added a few more Twitter followers since taking to the social network to discuss his May-December romance with Jennifer Lopez. He said, "Age, status, n opinions of others are irrelevant. Our hearts are endless and our souls infinite." You know it's true love, because J.Lo retweeted him! [E Online]
:: Selena Gomez may be taking a break from music, but she's definitely not taking a break from Justin Bieber. The couple were spotted locking lips while they waited on line for fruit smoothies. [Pink Is The New Blog]
:: Lady Gaga! She's just like us! The "Marry The Night" singer was seen doing laundry with new beau Taylor Kinney in California this week. We wonder how many loads she had to do; those outrageous outfits must be dry-clean only. [Just Jared]

Thu Jan 19 2012 by Becky Bain
Tonight was the second episode of American Idol Season 11 — what's that? You didn't watch the first night? Well, why not?
