I Confess: I Love Old Teen Idols
I usually shy away from reality projects featuring Scott Baio (not falling for that one again), but I just may have to make an exception for VH1. The network will soon be premiering its brand-new Confessions of a Teen Idol, which features seven former hotties who all share the same mission: grab the brass ring.
You know, again.
They each had their shot at fame and some even spent a little time at the top. But Hollywood is capricious, and soon enough all of these men found themselves on the swift path to being has-beens. But VH1 - and apparently, Scott Baio - thinks they could be shining stars once more. Or at the very least, reality stars. Here’s the funniest part: Baio is part host, part mentor to these would-be famous-again celebs.
I know, it’s a total riot.

American Idol’s New Spin: Go For the Tears!
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Ratings, Rumors,
Every year, someone at FOX gets the idea to slightly (or hell, strongly) tweak the country’s most popular show. One year it’s a difference at Hollywood Week, an emphasis on back story or even the addition of musical instruments. This year, American Idol will be truly fundamentally different for the first time. What can fans expect from the new season?
In addition to a new judge at the table (a shocking casting decision which will dramatically change the chemistry of the show), FOX promises this year’s contestants will be even more “emotional.” If you didn’t get enough tears out of Brooke White last year, this news is sure to please.

MTV Hills Crew Terrorizes Hollywood Residents
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, MTV, The Hills, Gossip, News, Rumors,
MTV cannot simply settle for irking television viewers like myself with their silly reality shows. They apparently have to frustrate poor Hollywood resident civilians, too.
Filming their prized “reality” stint, The Hills cast and crew have wreaked havoc among their Hollywood neighbors.
As if the unwanted paparazzi crews are not enough of a nuisance, the filming crew apparently takes up most of the street with their equipment trucks, leaving bright lights shining on the house until late at night when the socialites are not even home!
Not surprisingly, despite these and many more claims, an MTV spokesperson defends the production: “MTV is in accordance with all required production permits, and is working with the city of Los Angeles to assist it with neighborhood concerns that have been raised.”
They sure are good liars over there at MTV.

American Idol Reject Makes Good
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
Think way, way back to the beginning of the seventh season of American Idol. During Hollywood Week, two singers struck such a strong chord in me that I was passionately rooting for them both to make it to the Top 24. The first was Kyle Ensley, the one I called the governor of Oklahoma and who Simon Cowell wanted to keep but who was kicked in favor of Colton Berry (who was one of the first of the Top 24 to be sent packing, proving that I was right in wanting to keep Kyle instead). The second standout I cheered valiantly for was young Josiah Leming. You may remember him as the sweet-faced kid who was tragically sleeping in his car.
Leming made the monumentally brave choice to sing without the band for his last Hollywood audition, a decision which ultimately led to his demise on the show. After Hollywood, Josiah Leming returned to his parents’ home in Tennessee. But he did not stay there for very long.

‘American Idol’ Auditions at Walt Disney World
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, FOX, American Idol,
The $71 it takes to get into one Walt Disney World theme park for a day could soon buy you a shot at pop superstardom.
Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts in Orlando, Florida is about to launch its own version of the FOX TV hit American Idol.
Here’s how it will work: visitors to Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios park (formerly Disney-MGM Studios) will be able to audition at various locations throughout that particular park each day. Those who make it through that initial step will get some vocal coaching and hair and makeup help. Next they’ll perform in front of a real, live audience in Disney’s American Idol soundstage. If they pass muster with the judges and audience, they’ll move onto a preliminary round then to the final round each evening.
Daily winners will get a guaranteed slot in regional auditions for the real American Idol TV show.

Reese and Ryan’s Romance
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Gossip, Rumors,
Academy-award winning Reese Witherspoon has been stealing cinematic hearts since she appeared, with Marky Mark, in Fear. It was only natural this blonde hottie would hook up with a tow-headed hunk, and the marriage between Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe seemed to be made in Hollywood. Then, the break up. But could this gorgeous pair of exes be working toward reconciliation? According to the gossip columnists, the two are attempting to work out their difficulties and have been dating in secret – being quite careful not to get caught in the act. Press reps for both camps did not comment on the possibility, which isn’t to say it doesn’t exist. Press reps can be terribly close-mouthed at times. So, if Reese really is working it out with Ryan…where does that leave her with Jake Gynllenhaal, the up-and-coming Hollywood hottie who’s been seen in her frequent company?

American Idol: Season 6 Finals - Week Five
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol,
Guess who I am: I only have one Spanish-language album to my credit, yet American Idol has already deemed me a Latin-music afficionado. If you guessed JLo—I mean Jennifer Lopez—then you’d be right.
Well - no matter how well she may/may not sing…we all know that Jennifer can dance and put on a show. Was she able to help infuse a little rhythm and spice into the contestants’ performances? Read on!

American Idol: Season 6 Finals - Week One
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Features,
Okay – am I the only who thinks that Diana Ross is getting a lot of free publicity thanks to Dreamgirls? The Oscars have already come and gone…yet thanks to American Idol, we’ll still be talking about her after tonight’s ‘theme’ show.
Yes, yes, yes…Diana Ross and The Supremes were a great group. But are we really prepared to hear male interpretations of their songs? And more importantly, we will have to endure Sanjaya singing Baby Love?
As always, Week 1 tends to start off a shaky note. Read on to see if Season 6 was the exception:
