Pop stars watch the Academy Awards just like the rest of us. Only when they do it, they’re not gathered around a friend’s living room eating Oscar movie-themed dishes like “Inglorious Bratwurst”. Instead, they head to the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Oscar Viewing Party held this year at Los Angeles’ Pacific Design Center. Flip through to see all your favorite stars dolled up for Hollywood’s biggest night: from the Jonas Brothers, to Jennifer Hudson, to Glee’s Lea Michele and Cory Monteith, and American Idol’s Simon and Kara. And see which artist dared to wear “Hammer Pants” to Elton John’s affair. More »

‘American Idol’: Denver Auditions
7:26 AM on Wed Feb 3 2010 by Becky Bain
Victoria Beckham returned to American Idol last night, and as with her stint at the Boston auditions, she mistook the nation's favorite singing competition for Project Runway. The fashion-fixated Posh Spice had not one constructive thing to say about any of the contestants' auditions throughout the entire episode other than comment on their "look" — which, let's be honest, is still more than what Randy Jackson offers at this point.
Speaking of Randy, he must be right on the money about a girl winning Idol — the show highlighted hardly any of Denver's men. Among the 26 contestants sent on to Hollywood, only seven had their own "feature" segments, and only two were male. (And both of those could have veered easily into "it's a no, dawg" territory based onthe way they were presented on the show). Let's take a closer look at those lucky enough to score a golden ticket: More »

GIF GALLERY: Idol Judges On Infinite Loop
3:10 PM on Wed Jan 13 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
It's no secret that the audition episodes of the American Idol season are all about the misfits, oddballs, freaks and geeks we suffer through/gawk at while the judges pan for Idol gold. While these episodes lack the drama of the real competition, they often represent the best chance for us to catch one of those precious "spit takes" from the judges. We snagged our favorite moments from Boston's auditions, as seen in last night's kickoff of American Idol Season 9, proudly presented below. Just think, you're seeing this from the contestants' perspectives. In other words, these are the images that will play over and over in their memories for all of eternity — which is why they're GIFs!

‘American Idol’ Returns: The Boston Auditions
6:59 AM on Wed Jan 13 2010 by Robbie Daw
Paula's gone. Ellen has not yet arrived. And so we begin American Idol's crucial Season 9 feeling a little aimless — heck, make that flat-out bewildered, now that we also have to contend with Simon's impending exit. But if this show's about to undergo a revolution, then we might as well start in Boston, right? Season 9 kicked off with two days in Beantown, where the judges (and guest Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham) began the search for fresh meat our nation's next superstar. And just maybe, sneak in time for constant, endless soundbytes that will haunt us all season.

PHOTOS: ‘Idol’ Premieres Tonight! We’re As Excited As These ‘Idol’ Hopefuls
3:56 PM on Tue Jan 12 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Here they are: thousands upon thousands of American Idol hopefuls who’ve braved the elements, the long lines, the exhaustion, and the boredom for their chance to live out their fantasy: to be named the next American Idol. Or, at the very least, to be martyred as one of the season’s zaniest auditioners and dismissed with a Cowell eye roll.
Of course, we concede we’re watching this all from the comfort of our sofa, and we haven’t braved an element since we briefly removed our Snuggie to go into the kitchen for more ice cream. But we’ll be sitting in judgment of these people just like you. So take a peek at who’s been dreaming of becoming the next Kelly, Kris, Carrie, or Ruben. Though it’s worth noting that, to our recollection, no eventual Idol winner or runner up ever had to hold up a wacky poster, wear a kooky “look at me” shirt, or try any other gimmick to draw our attention.

Just What “American Idol” Needed: More Drama
4:30 PM on Fri Aug 14 2009 by Maura
After flying Victoria Beckham to Boston so she could once again fill American Idol’s fourth judge’s chair for the second round of auditions there, the show’s producers have decided to switch things up for Round Two in Atlanta: Frequent Idol cover-ee Mary J. Blige will join Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Kara DioGuardi and take over Paula Abdul’s spot. (And lest you think that reports of Beckham being “icy and wooden” during judging led to her getting the heave-ho, a mole inside the show has said that Posh was actually “warm with the contestants.” Good old People, always allowing the celebrity-industrial complex to stay on-message!)

Posh Spice Apparently Lacking The Bubbly Personality Of Paula Abdul
12:00 PM on Mon Aug 10 2009 by Maura
Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham sat in the American Idol judges’ chair formerly occupied by the departed Paula Abdul during last week’s second round of auditions in Denver, and anonymous meanies had their knives out: “It didn’t go too well,” a tipster told Radar. “She tried to hard to be ‘nice,’ but came off as icy and wooden.” And this is different from her Posh Spice persona how? I mean, come on. It’s not like we’re talking about one of the outgoing Spice Girls here! Tell me that Geri Haliwell was “icy” and I’d be surprised. More »
