It’s official. Jennifer Lopez will return for American Idol 2012 this January along with the other two judges, Randy and Steven, along with host Ryan Seacrest.
Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe made the announcement this morning on Seacrest’s radio show and you can listen to the news below. Jump to 3m30s to hear the tidbit on JLo’s return from Nigel:
I am delighted to say that all three judges, along with the brilliant host of American Idol is back for the next season.
So what you do think? Is this good news for the new season or should American Idol have saved her $20 million paycheck for someone else?
“American Idol” Season 10 winner Scotty McCreery’s video for his first single “I Love You This Big” debuted today on CMT and in case you missed it, we have it for you here.
It’s not the best video, but Scotty sounds great. For such a great story-teller singer, the video tells no story at all. Who is he singing too? The man in the white beard? The crowd? God? His career? Himself? Who knows. They could’ve done better with the video, that’s for sure.
“American Idol” Season 10 runner up Lauren Alaina’s video for her almost-winning song “Like My Mother Does” is set to premiere on CMT Tuesday at 10:30 am when the network actually shows music videos for five minutes.
But we have the video here and now (watch it below). It’s a pretty good, but sappy, video fully equipped with images of Lauren’s childhood from way back when in the early 200os. Ha.
I didn’t know “American Idol” contestants’ first singles ever made it to video format. So this is pretty cool. What do you think?
Being a twenty-something watching the Teen Choice Awards is like intruding in your little sister's party. You're lucky to be let in, but you don't understand most of what's going on.
Like, why did Robert Pattinson still win the Choice Vampire award? I thought Twilight was so five minutes ago? (For now, at least, since the first Breaking Dawn movie has yet to come out, and I haven't seen frantic Twilight fans go out on the streets in ages.) And the fact that teenagers picked him rather than, say, True Blood'sAlexander Skarsgard or The Vampire Diaries' Ian Somerhalder...
Just as FOX President Kevin Reilly was sitting down at the Television Critics Association (TCA), the first thing he said was, "This isn't going to a very news-y session," meaning we aren't going to learn much of anything new, but that doesn't mean the old stuff isn't worthy of reporting. Fans of Glee, Bones, House, and Fringe all got a little love.
The first question right off the bat was about the Ryan Murphy controversy. If you're unfamiliar, let me briefly sum up: First Murphy told a reporter that Glee's Lea Michele (Rachel), Chris Colfer (Kurt), and Cory Monteith (Finn) would be graduating and leaving the show. A twitter explosion ensued with the three actors claiming to have found out they were fired indirectly. Then Murphy comes clean with a reporter saying he had discussed a spin-off with the three actors and now they're going to wait to talk about it until the end of the season because it's just too much right now. Clear as mud? Good. Now you understand how all the reporters feel.
