Video: Pia Toscano Performs on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Results Show
Last night, American Idol castoff Pia Toscano performed on the results show of Dancing with the Stars. I often prefer results shows to actual episodes of DWTS, because we get to see the professional dancers together without gimmicks. Conveniently, the pro dancers who choreographed a routine to Pia’s rendition of “I’ll Stand By You” were Karina Smirnoff and none other than Pia’s rumored boyfriend, Mark Ballas. More »
Video: Lauren Alaina Kills It on ‘American Idol’
Lauren Alaina really found her sweet spot on last night’s ep of Idol with this rendition of Sara Evans‘ “Born to Fly.” Is she back to being a contender to win the whole thing? We’d be really into seeing a Haley Reinhart/Lauren Alaina finale. More »

American Idol castoff Pia Toscano is wasting absolutely zero time keeping her name in the media. Her first step was going on a highly-publicized date with Dancing with the Stars pro Mark Ballas. Now, she’s going to be performing on Mark’s show. Coincidence? Or a publicity coup? More »
Crushable Quotable: Paul McDonald Has Never Seen Any of Girlfriend Nikki Reed’s Movies
American Idol castoff Paul McDonald and Twilight star Nikki Reed are the new hot couple. However, it looks like their attraction isn’t founded on respect for each others’ work – Paul said in an interview that he hasn’t seen any of his girlfriend’s movies, even megahit Twilight.”Honestly, I haven’t seen any of her movies and know nothing, really, about her work,” she said. “I think she likes me more because I’ve never seen any of her stuff.” More »
Pia Toscano and Paul McDonald Have Mastered the Art of the ‘Idol’ Boot
Getting kicked off of American Idol sucks – you’ve lost your chance at the record deal prize offered up to the winner of the show. But every booted finalist’s role model is Jennifer Hudson, who rebounded from a surprise elimination in season 3 (eventual winner: Fantasia) to star in Dreamgirls and win an Oscar. The most recent bootees from this season of Idol, Pia Toscano and Paul McDonald, clearly got a class in good PR. The strategy? Immediately hook up with someone famous so that your name stays out there. More »
Video: Rihanna Performs a Country Song on ‘American Idol’
Here’s the latest news on the American Idol front: wiry crooner Paul McDonald was sent home, Jacob Lusk has apparently spent some time in jail (for riding the LA metro without a ticket and then skipping his court date, the most innocuous offense ever), and Rihanna‘s now a country artist. She performed her new song “California King Bed,” which she originally debuted at the Academy of Country Music awards, on the show last night. It’s not half bad! More »
Video: Scotty McCreery Sings ‘Cross My Heart’ on ‘American Idol’
We still can’t get over how Scotty McCreery‘s voice comes out of Scotty McCreery’s body. America loves him, though; Scotty and Lauren Alaina have been consistently at the top all season. And after this performance, it’s looking like that won’t change any time soon. More »

Video: Watch Jennifer Lopez Get Super Indignant And Outraged At A Reality Show Outcome
Last night on the American Idol results show, Gleeified singer Pia Toscano was booted. It was a pretty shocking result as Pia was one of the favorites to win the whole thing, but watching judges Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler get outright indignant and disappointed in the citizens of America is hilarious. We’ve been blamed for our lack of passion! Oh well, maybe if the government shuts down next week Pia Toscano can take over? More »

His reaction is simply priceless. More »
Gallery: How Much Of Steven Tyler’s Wardrobe Could We Find At Chico’s?
Watching American Idol these past few weeks, we couldn’t help but notice that judge Steven Tyler‘s “wild” outfits look eerily similar to the stuff you might find on the racks at Chico’s, the funky white lady store that happens to be my grandma’s personal favorite place to shop*. My grandma is a very hip lady. Really, she is stylish and totally with it — however she happens to be in her 70s, a woman, and not at all a rock star. So how right were we? We went through Chico’s offerings from their present and past collections and found ridiculously close approximations of many of Steven’s ensembles.
*It’s also the favorite store of Michael Phelps‘ mom, Debbie, who has an endorsement deal with the brand. More »
