AMERICAN IDOL WILL GO OFF THE AIR WITH A BANG, NOT A WHIMPER

#paulaabdul #janetcharlton

American Idol producers have seen the writing on the wall (the ratings dip) and they plan to end the show gracefully next season. They want the ORIGINAL judges from the first season together again for the final season – Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, and Simon Cowell. That way they can end the show the way it began. Randy, the only original judge still on Idol, is perfectly willing to stay for another year, and Paula is totally up for it. Simon, of course, is playing hard to get – partly because he’s currently on The X-Factor, and partly because he likes to be difficult.

Alexis Arquette American Idol Drag Steven Tyler Transgender

STEVEN TYLER AND ALEXIS ARQUETTE: SOMETHING IN COMMON

American Idol is doing everything they can to drive up the sagging ratings and former judge Steven Tyler was a good sport to dress up in drag. He livened up the auditions in Oklahoma City be pretending to be a contestant named Pepper. It didn’t take long for the judges to see through the disguise, but we couldn’t help but notice he bore a striking resemblance to transgendered Alexis Arquette. Only Alexis is younger and has better makeup. They do have similar lips.

American Idol Mariah Carey Nicki Minaj UCLA

FEMMES RULE ON AMERICAN IDOL

UCLA students got an eyeful When American Idol held it’s season 12 premier viewing on campus Wednesday night. Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey tried to out dress each other – Nicki in skin tight neon colors, and Mariah in an alarmingly low cut gown. Mariah arrived late and let Nicki rule on the red carpet. They were seated on a panel onstage with Ryan Seacrest, Keith Urban, and Randy Jackson, but most eyes were on the feuding girls. Mariah declared the show and “unsafe work environment” and she hired six bodyguards, much to the amusement of Nicki Minaj.

American Idol Lindsay Lohan Mariah Carey Nicki Minaj Racist Steven Tyler

NICKI MINAJ: DO YOU REALLY WANT TO SMELL LIKE HER?

We used to get a kick out of Nicki Minaj’s imaginative fashion sense and bold style. But it seems the more we get to know her, the less we like her. Her gangster-mouth tirade against Mariah Carey was uncalled for and to her credit, Mariah never stooped to Nicki’s level of vulgarity. Now she’s publicly embarrassed Steven Tyler by calling him a “racist” simply because he questioned her ability as a judge on American Idol. He openly apologized, but shouldn’t have, because she isn’t worthy of a response. Nicki is simply displaying her lack of education and upbringing – another candidate for charm school. (Above Nicki is in Sydney launching her perfume “Pink Friday.”

American Idol Feud! Mariah Carey Monroe Cannon Nicki Minaj

AMERICAN IDOL FEUD: MARIAH IS ABOVE IT ALL

#mariahcarey #janetcharlton

Mariah Carey took her little girl “Roe” (Monroe) on an outing in Tribeca in New York. Roe wore pink glasses and carried a stuffed bunny. Mariah is secretly pleased that the American Idol “feud” she had with Nicki Minaj left HER looking good. Whether the outburst was fake or not, Nicki came off like a common loudmouth and her trashy language just made it worse. At least Mariah had the sense to contain her comments.

American Idol Before and After Butts Nicki Minaj Plastic Surgery

NICKI MINAJ DOESN’T MIND HAVING FOREIGN OBJECTS SEWN INTO HER BODY

Nicki Minaj’s new visibility on American Idol brings up the subject of her plastic surgery all over again. The first time we saw Nicki with her out-of-proportion large hips and enormous backside we were in shock. We couldn’t imagine what kind of plastic surgeon would DO that to a person! You can never buy clothes off the rack again! Most women we know would kill to have SMALLER hips and butts. But Nicki is obviously thrilled with her new caboose and flaunts it at every opportunity. So it DOES take all kinds!

American Idol Fake! Feud! Mariah Carey Nicki Minaj

MARIAH CAREY AND NICKI MINAJ’S AMERICAN IDOL FEUD: IT’S ALL FAKE!

#mariahcarey #nickiminaj #janetcharlton

Don’t fall for that trumped up “feud” between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj on American Idol – they are being PAID handsomely not to get along with each other! American Idol is well past its prime and desperately in need of some drama and glamour. Producers figured that hiring two musical divas and pitting them against each other would heighten interest in the show. But like other reality shows, the drama is forced and scripted. Deep down, both of these performers probably realize that these antics are an insult to women. Men like to perceive attractive women as competitive and nasty to each other and Idol producers are playing this male fantasy to the hilt. We’re betting Mariah and Nicki will become great friends off camera.

American Idol Flop Mariah Carey Recording

MARIAH CAREY IS THANKING HER LUCKY STARS THAT AMERICAN IDOL CAME ALONG

#mariahcarey #janetcharlton

It turns out Mariah Carey signed on the dotted line for American Idol JUST IN TIME. It’s been three years since her last unsuccessful album and she hoped her new comeback single “Triumphant” would be just that. Since she released it on iTunes to not-so-hot reviews, it moved from 42 to 40. But radio stations continue to ignore it, so it’s not promising. Suddenly that 12 million dollar AI contract seems like an even better deal because her exposure on the show might help sell the song. Above, she’s swimming with “dem babies.”

American Idol Jennifer Lopez Paula Abdul

PAULA ABDUL HAS A TRICK UP HER SLEEVE

#paulaabdul #americanidol #janetcharlton

It’s top secret, but if Jennifer Lopez doesn’t negotiate a deal to return to American Idol, there’s someone waiting in the wings. Paula Abdul just might return and take her place! Paula left when Idol refused to pay her the salary she wanted, and she moved on to X-Factor. Now that she’s lost that job she’s looking for something to do and she’s very available. If Jennifer doesn’t sign on the dotted line, Paula is ready to jump in and work for less. (Above, Paula and boyfriend, businessman Jon Caprio)

American Idol Jennifer Lopez Money

HOW MUCH IS JENNIFER LOPEZ REALLY WORTH?

Since Jennifer Lopez announced that she’s unsure about returning to American Idol, we’ve been trying o figure out what she REALLY means. Lopez was paid $20 million dollars for this season and she’s gotten a huge career boost thanks to the show. Now she’s playing hard to get and just might be asking for a raise to $40 million next season. Is she worth it? Maybe not. The ratings have dropped 25% since Jennifer and Steven Tyler were added as judges. Certainly producers would like her to return, but would they pay her price? It’s all about the money. (Above, Jennifer sweeps into American Idol in a billowy skirt)
