The Hollywood Reporter is breaking out a list of maybe-they’re-true-maybe-they’re-not changes for the upcoming American Idol 2011 season. Well, kinda new because we’ve seen all of these ideas before over the past few months. Let’s run down the list and see what floats and what sinks.

1. Updated Set: Relocating the band - Yep, reported that on Sunday.
2. Faster Elimination: Goodbye Top 24. Hello Top 12. Or maybe Top 15. - Everyone keeps on saying this. Sounds fair.
3. Online Voting: Vote with a quick click. -November’s rumor news. Readers here want this more than any other change.
4. New Living Arrangement: An Idol mansion. - Month old news, but yes please!
5. Original Songs: Hopefuls won’t be limited to cover songs. - Last week’s rumor, but we’ll see.
6. Theme Week Makeovers: Songs will be customized to the Hopefuls. - No more fish out of water situations.
7. Possible Music Videos: Testing Hopefuls marketability. - Reported this 2 months ago, but how will they incorporate it smoothly?
8. Faster Music Releases: Finalists will be releasing singles and albums earlier in the summer. - Faster is better, but how about just “better”? Idol sales have been horrible, let’s focus on improving quality first.

Keep in mind that these are really just rumors, even if they’re attributed to producers within the show. Until the new season of American Idol premieres on January 19, 2011 everything will remain up in the air as producers try to dial in on what will bring the highest ratings.

Which of these potential changes have you the most excited? I’m expecting #3 to pick up the most support in the comments, but maybe you all will surprise me!

PS – THR calls this list their “Exclusive: 8 Big Changes” which is funny because these rumors were all previously reported here as early as November. Maybe THR should have subscribed to our free email updates or joined us on Facebook! Have you?

Beyonce won 6 out of a feasible 10 nominations in the 2010 Grammy Awards, making her probably the most awarded female on a single night ever in Grammy history. Originally born and raised in Houston, since her birth in 1981 Beyonce Giselle Knowles has by no means ceased to surprise and please her millions of fans around the world. However, in addition to her tremendous singing and acting skills, attention is generally drawn to her image and fashion look. The 2010 Grammy Awards was no exception in this regard.

Among the hundreds of detoxification diets obtainable on tv along with the internet, the a single popularly referred to as “Beyonce’s Diet” has attracted probably the most publicity and has gained widespread acceptance. Although Beyonce doesn’t endorse or advise any single eating habits system or products, she occasionally has spoken frankly about her success with detox dieting and vigorous exercise. You most likely can credit widespread publicity for some surge in her diet’s popularity; and you probably can credit some in the diet’s acceptance to its strong similarity with a detox diet plan program endorsed by Oprah Winfrey’s in-house naturopath, Dr. Mehmet Oz. Still, most of your diet’s reputation derives from its simplicity and effectiveness.

Stripped of fluff and hype, Beyonce’s weight-loss plan has 3 vital components: heavy doses of antioxidants in teas, balanced beverages, and tablets; supplemental colon cleansing with multi-herb, high-fiber tablets that promote efficient, efficient digestion and peristalsis; along with a typical every day routine of cardio-vascular workout and strength training.

Beyonce set the record Sunday, January 31 at the Staples Center in LA, raking within the awards for Song from the Year, Very best Female R&B Performance, and Very best R&B Song for “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)”; Greatest Female Pop Vocal Performance for “Halo”; Best Standard R&B Performance for “At Last”; and Very best Contemporary R&B Album for “I Am… Sasha Fierce”.

Unlike much more extreme cleansing and weight-loss programs, Beyonce’s Diet does not automatically prohibit solid foods, however it stresses consuming organically-grown fruits and vegetables, high-fiber multi-grain cereals, and legumes. The diet’s guidelines restrict consumption of meat and dairy products-especially cheeses, canned, packaged and processed foods, all of which subvert detoxification and fat-burning.

In far much less technical terms, Beyonce’s Diet derives plenty of its appeal from 3 built-in fail-safes: it tastes good, it satisfies hunger and prevents cravings, and it is just plain healthy.

The Giorgio Armani Prive silver and gold chain metal gown she wore throughout her acceptance speech was show stopping, but even far more so was the outfit she wore for her performance. You’d be excused for thinking that the Versace Atalier mini dress produced of cutout leather could be attention-grabbing enough, nevertheless it is usually all or nothing for the unstoppable Beyonce. In addition to the designer mini dress, she wore a pair of peep toe ankle booties that definitely finished off her look.

I suggest that you study more articles on Beyonce Im A Diva as well as How To Sing Like Beyonce.

Last season Rickey Minor quit American Idol for Jay Leno’s Tonight Show which left the upcoming 2011 season with an empty seat for its band leader. EW is reporting that Ray Chew, well-versed in the television music arena, will be taking over the role after a successful stint during the pre-Hollywood, Las Vegas competition rounds.

While a successful band leader blends transparently into the show, the musical support may end up being more out of sight then we’re used to having each season:

Whether audiences will get to see much of Chew and the Idol band this season, however, remains very much an open question. Idol exec producer Ken Warwick tells EW exclusively that a revamped set this season could relocate the Idol band off camera. “At the moment, the [upper] tier that was where the band was is now going to be audience,” says Warwick. “The plan is that the band will come out when required. There’s going to be a whole new kind of arena feel to the whole proceeding.”

The band will have to end up being somewhere, but just where that is hasn’t yet been revealed. Although I understand the desire to put the American Idol hopefuls front and center, it seems odd to effectively remove the band from the set and the experience. I’m interested to see how this all works out. So very many changes coming our way for this new season which starts in just two weeks!
