Wed Jan 5 2011 by Becky Bain
Did You Hear?
:: Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal have broken up after about two months of getting coffee together. Time to start pitching song titles for the inevitable track she writes about him! We're going with The Princess Of Persia. [People]
:: Artists from an eclectic mix of genres pick their favorite Beatles songs for iTunes. Ke$ha's fave? "I Want To Hold Your Hand", because it "blends the intensity of punk rock with undeniable pop catchiness." [EW Music Mix]
:: Buzzworthy picks their 8 most anticipated albums of 2011, including upcoming releases from Gaga, Britney, and No Doubt. [MTV Buzzworthy]

The Morning Mix: Katy Perry Leaves Herself In Stitches
Thu Jun 24 2010 by Becky Bain
Did You Hear?
:: Katy Perry had to get 17 stitches after having cutting her leg during a dance routine. Paired with Gaga's fall, maybe pop stars will start wearing flats and forgo the dangerous footwear for awhile? [PopEater]
:: A member of OK Go has a staring contest with a Muppet—guess who wins. This hilarious clip could've been one of their music videos, it's that entertaining to watch. [Vulture]
:: M.I.A. wants to get married in a white suit, which seems like a fairly boring choice from the same woman who once wore a shark. [Just Jared]
:: Call her Mom Jeans no more—a totally healthy-looking Jessica Simpson is dressing herself quite nicely lately. Besides the New Kids on the Block t-shirt, though. [Go Fug Yourself]
:: Kellie Pickler is engaged! We're just shocked it isn't to a hockey player, as that seems to be the fiance-occupation-du-jour. [Wonderwall]

Thu Jun 10 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Yee haw! The stars country music took the stage last night at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena last night for the 2010 CMT Music Awards. It was an evening full of the unexpected. Taylor Swift (who needed an extra arm to carry home all of her Grammy awards) walked away with nothing, John Mayer jammed with Keith Urban, Jersey Shore’s Snooki and “The Situation” presented with chef Paula Deen, and we’re still trying to figure out what Kelly Clarkson was doing with a baby alligator at the CMT after party. Flip through to see all highlights from CMT’s Hootenanny. More »

:: Tonight is the contestants' last chance to impress the judges with a song of their choice before the Top 24 are picked. Some of the semifinalists will be announced tonight, the rest tomorrow night. [Vote For The Worst]
:: Idol alumni Mikalah Gordon, Anoop Desai and Diana DeGarmo give their take on Hollywood Week and defend the group rounds. [OK!]
:: Here are seven ways to breathe new life into American Idol. (They forgot #8: rename it The X Factor.) [Idol Tracker]
:: Joe's Place gives American Idol a mid-term report card: average, with room for improvement. [Joe's Place]

:: Did you not win tix to Adam's invite-only iheartradio.com concert in New York last night? No problem — MJsbigblog has video from the first few rows. Adam apparently started "Whataya Want From Me" four times before he was finally happy with how it sounded. (It also didn't help that a fan was yakking on her cell phone while he was trying to perform.) Behind the jump, watch the version that finally satisfied him. More »

PHOTOS: ‘Idol’ Evolution
Fri Jan 8 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Once upon a time, in June of 2002, an oddball new program spun off from a British singing talent show debuted on U.S. airwaves. American Idol promised contestants a chance to fulfill dreams of stardom. But who knew it would become the ultimate TV juggernaut, the show that would hijack Americans’ Tuesdays and Wednesdays for months at a stretch? And who knew it would have such power to transform people so powerfully? A former waitress from small-town Texas becomes a pop megastar. A geeky (but uppity) kid named Clay emerges as a heartthrob. Over the past eight seasons we’ve noticed a theme: Idol isn’t just a talent competition, it’s a makeover show. And it’s not just for the singing contestants — judges and even Ryan have undergone radical changes since Idol arrived. Check out the most dramatic metamorphoses in Idol history. More »
Five Female Pop Stars Who Should Definitely Not Fill Paula Abdul’s “American Idol” Chair
Thu Aug 6 2009 by Maura
Fox today outlined its plans for replacing Paula Abdul at the American Idol judges’ table, and somewhat unfortunately, they involve retaining the four-judge panel that was instituted on the show last year. The show is going to bring in guest judges! “Our intention is to have guest judges be female pop stars, female performers,” Fox Entertainment chair Peter Rice said. Signed for next season so far: A & R expert Katy Perry and tabloid fixture Victoria Beckham. Even though Beckham is more known for her stick-thin figure and the clothes she hangs on it these days, she was a Spice Girl, right? Uh, sure. Any Idol watcher knows that Fox will likely make some sort of misstep in selecting other people to round out the panel; as a sort of pre-emptive strike against that, we offer up five female pop stars whose presence would make the new-look Idol judges’ table even more farcical than it already is.
