“I think we work with [the contestants] a little more than…maybe you’ve seen in the past. We give them more of a chance, because we know what it’s like to be out there,” Jennifer Lopez – who was recently named to the new judging panel along with Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler— explained of the current season of American Idol.
“Some of the kids are so young that I’m not sure if they can get how long it’s taken me to be successful,” Steven Tyler explained.
Randy Jackson said that Lopez and Tyler are both “still hugely successful artists performing currently, doing it. So I think a lot of these kids are watching the two of them.”

Britney Spears watched the episode, along with millions of Gleeks, offering Twitter updates throughout. “Heather Morris is so cute!” She Tweeted at one point. “Brittany S. Pearce. Ha! She was so fun to work with and was really sweet in person,” Brit revealed.
“The Me Against the Music set looks just like the original. Santana [Naya Rivera] does a great Madonna impression,” Britney said a little later, when Santana and Brittany both underwent dental treatments, as provided by Dr. Carl (Stamos), to hallucinate the Britney Spears video.

John Stamos Boycotted Glee During Season One
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Music, Prime Time, FOX, Gossip,
It’s already old news that John Stamos will be playing Emma’s love interest on Glee, a character which will be introduced to the series this week. But last year, Stamos steadfastly boycotted the musical show because of something Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays) once said to Will Schuster (Matthew Morrison).
During the “Acafellas” episode, Emma gives Will a pep talk about having guts. “They say it takes more certainty than talent to make a star,” she explains. “I mean, look at John Stamos.”
Burn! “I was so mad,” Stamos admitted in a recent interview. “I called the head of the studio.” His anger led him on a self-imposed Glee boycott. “Yeah, I was the only one in the world that boycotted Glee.” You’re telling us!
Now, thankfully, Stamos has gotten over the sting and agreed to guest star on 10 episodes of the series, which should leave plenty of time for him to have a sing-off with Matthew Morrison.

Lone Star: First Victim of New TV Season
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, Cancellations,
After back-to-back weeks of dismal ratings, Lone Star has finally been put to rest by FOX.
The series—which was given a prime slot post-House on Mondays—opened last week to 4.1 million and a 1.3/3 in the 18-49 demo. A second outing this week dropped even further. The drama lost 900,000 viewers and fell to a 1.0/3.
Shortly after receiving the overnight numbers, FOX made the official decision to pull the plug. Lie to Me, originally slated to return on November 10, will now fill the Monday 9 PM position as of next week.

Glee Star Wants Justin Bieber
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Comedy, Music, Prime Time, FOX, Gossip, Rumors,
Lea Michele wants Justin Bieber to appear on Glee.
The brunette beauty is excited about forthcoming celebrity cameos in the musical drama series but would love producers to approach the teenage singing sensation about a role in the show.
“I don’t know about Justin Bieber coming on the show, but he would be awesome. But I will tell you this-breaking news from Lea Michele! We have an Academy Award winner coming on Glee in the next few episodes that is not Justin Bieber.”
However, the 24-year-old actress is disappointed she won’t get the chance to get close to Javier Bardem when he makes a guest appearance: “I know the storyline and it’s not with me. Maybe I’ll be like, ‘Don’t I look like Penelope Cruz? Hey, It’s me - I’m Penelope.’”
Justin, 16, may welcome the chance to appear on the show alongside people of a similar age after recently confessing he finds life on the road can get lonely: “Lonely, yeah. I want to hang out with my friends, but I need security. I’m going to get my dog to come on the road in a couple of weeks.”

American Idol Snubs MySpace Contestants
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video,
American Idol has opened up the Internet as a viable auditioning option for the first time ever in Season 10 - giving singers who haven’t the means, time or money to travel to one of the audition cities the chance to compete.
Here’s the rub: if they do get accepted for a callback, the MySpace singers have to fly to LA on their own dime. The show that makes millions of dollars just for using the Coca-Cola symbol every chance they get won’t even foot the bill for their own contestants.
