"Idol" Finale Preview: Musical Guests Announced, Kara DioGaurdi's Future Unclear

2009-05-18T18:02:00.010-05:00

Ryan Seacrest announced on his radio show Monday morning that Lionel Richie, Carlos Santana, Cyndi Lauper, Queen Latifah, Black Eyed Peas, Keith Urban, David Cook, and Carrie Underwood will perform along with finalists Adam Lambert and Kris Allen on the final two episodes of this season's "American Idol."

"Idol" fans are tweeting about the star-studded lineup:

bloozler Heard that Keith Urban was going to be performing on the American Idol Finale!! Way to go Ryan and the whole American Idol gang!!!

FOX5Atlanta As if Idol couldn't get any better!! Lionel Richie, Santana, Cindi Lauper, Queen Latifah are set to perform during this season finale week.

twigsandheather Idol finale line up - not so rocking . Taking Lionel Richie out of the pickle jar on Wed. I was hoping for Axl Rose. A gal can dream.

Honeyowens So glad Keith Urban is going to be on the Idol Finale
rickyworley Ok. Update from Hollywood!! Black Eyed Peas to perform at Idol this week! SUPER EXCITED! BOOM BOOM POW!

Seacrest also tweeted links to Twitter accounts of some of the season's finalists, who will be in attendance for the finale.

As this season of "Idol" wraps up, the Twitterverse is wondering if the show's newest addition, Kara DioGuardi, will continue as a judge next season. Today, Newsday.com reported a Fox executive said in a conference call with reporters that "couldn't comment on that right now." Newsday.com mused that this meant either Kara is currently negotiating her contract with Fox, or she won't be returning at all.

Twitter users overwhelmingly tweeted that they won't miss the newest judge if she leaves:

brettmjellison really hopes Kara is not a judge on American Idol next season! She brings nothing to the show!

lunaasul I really think that Kara has a problem with Simon #American Idol. I don't see her next season(if they do another) Honestly I don't like her

mjloomis Finds that Kara DioGuardi contributes nothing original, if she replaces Simon next season, I'm never watching again!

gwoman1 @RyanSeacrest Oh, and by the way tell me nothing is going to change for next season, maybe except for Kara.

Idolfanaddict @Idol360 I really hope there is some chance in Heaven & earth that Kara will not return next season...I hope...I dream!

Be sure to check back here after tomorrow night's show to see the Twittersphere's reaction to part one of the finale!

Woody Allen Settles American Apparel Lawsuit

2009-05-18T15:09:00.009-05:00

According to Reuters, film director Woody Allen settled a year-long lawsuit with Dov Charney, founder of the clothing company American Apparel, Inc., over the use of his image in the company's advertising.
Allen sued on the basis that billboard advertisements depicting him as a Hasidic Jew damaged his reputation, the article says. In the ads, Allen appears with a beard and black hat next to a Yiddish caption that translated to "the high rabbi."
Allen had originally sought $10 million in the lawsuit but settled out of court for $5 million.
"Five million dollars is enough to discourage American Apparel or any one else from ever trying such a thing again," Allen said outside federal court in Manhattan.
Charney refuted, saying the ads fell under the rights of free speech. "The billboards were designed to inspire dialogue," he said. "I am not sorry for expressing myself."
Twitterers shared their thoughts on the settlement:

atencio I don't know what's more surprising: that Woody settled or that American Apparel didn't use a far more appropriate Roman Polanksi ad.

"Samantha Who?" and "Sarah Connor" Canceled

2009-05-18T13:22:00.012-05:00

ABC's "Samantha Who?" and Fox's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" will not be returning in the fall, according to news reports.

"Samantha Who?," starring Christina Applegate, was originally expected to return to the ABC lineup, but was unable to tighten its budget enough to come back for what would have been the show's third season.

According to Variety, ABC looked to cut around $500,000 by making several changes including switching from single camera shooting to using multiple cameras. The series, however, became less of a priority after ABC picked up 10 new series. Although "Samantha" showed great promise on Mondays, it began to falter when it switched to ABC's Thursday night lineup.

Twitterers were caught by surprise after the announcement:

kraulspace @pamelaribon My condolences. My mom and I bonded (not in a matching red jacket way) over Samantha Who? Nothing else makes us both laugh.

amandabedgood @AccentOnLife say is isn't so of Samantha Who? Such a cute show!

voyage2k @EWPopWatch That's really stupid! Samantha Who? was a very clever and funny show! :(

Fox's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" also suffered a similar fate. Although the show had promising numbers in its Monday time slot, the viewership fell after it was moved mid-season to Fridays.

Both "Dollhouse" and "Sarah Connor" were up in the air for third season renewals and Fox ultimately felt "Dollhouse" was the best bet, giving it a renewal, according to TV Guide.

Even with "Terminator Salvation" due out in theaters this summer, Fox said buzz for the movie will not bring the show back. The show "has completed its run — and I think it had a nice little run," Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly said in the article. "We make no apologies. It had a huge launch ... and we gave it a lot of support. We tried, but it's time to move on."

Twitterers shared their disappointment:

in_wausau Very sad The Sarah conner chronicals is cancelled. Stupid fox!

creativemelissa Terminator: the sarah connor chronicals has been cancelled for the Fall. I'm sad.

KimberlyP I officially loathe FOX. First Firefly, now Sarah Connor Chronicals canceled. *sob* http://tinyurl.com/ppqnod

Weekend Box Office Likes "Angels and Demons"

2009-05-18T10:29:00.013-05:00

It was a blessed weekend for Ron Howard's film adaptation of "Angels and Demons," as it raked in an estimate $48 million at the box office.

But according to Entertainment Weekly, "Angels and Demons" fell short of its predecessor, "The DaVinci Code," which brought in $77.1 million during its debut in 2006.

J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" beamed into second place with a strong $43 million during its second weekend. "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" rounded out the top three, bringing the film's three-weekend total to $151.1 million.

Filmgoers tweeted their reviews:

sermoa Angels & Demons was very good. We enjoyed it and thought that the deviations from the book were for the better - except for one wtf? moment!

fray Angels and Demons was a good movie. Felt like a episode of 24. :)

omigod Watched Angels and Demons in all its mediocrity. Are Dan Brown's books so bad they just can't make a good movie or is hollywood to blame?

incredimarc Oh, it's going to be a good but busy day. I keep thinking about how crazy the cockamamie science was in Angels and Demons.

mondaymornin just got back from Monday Movie Night: Angels & Demons. Entertaining but Da Vinci Code was better in terms of puzzles. And i lurve puzzles.

ddvt92 I saw Angels and Demons yesterday. Awesome movie. Love Tom Hanks. He is the best. This movie was better than the Davinci Code.

okwithmydecay @fastchicken I know Angels and Demons sucked, but there is an interesting podcast on the science of antimatter http://tr.im/lFsg

Serrrg I heard "Angels and demons" should be called "running and figuring boring s**t out"

N_Absentia Angels and Demons kicked major butt!!! Although I have to admit that the end was kind of anti-climatic...but interesting.

RobSenter @atthemoviestv @Star Trek - So good it makes me want to burn my DVD's of the last two Trek films. The franchise is reinvigorated. Love it!

kupkate14 Star Trek was amazing!!! the characters were just like the originals!! especially spock!! live long and prosper tweets!

toddblog Twitterfession: I saw Star Trek this weekend and I didn't really like it very much. I think my expectations were a little too high.

MyshaGardner So . . . so far "Star Trek" is the *sh!!! Unfortunately our movie viewing was interrupted by an earthquake :( *Sigh*

chieflemonhead #Star Trek was awesome! Loved how they used original character dev to build a whole new franchise. Looking forward to a new sequel.

sidelko I enjoyed Star Trek last night, John Cho & Simon Pegg were nice surprises. Not sure if I like that they undid the whole star trek mythos.

CBS Has a New "Survivor" Winner

2009-05-18T09:28:00.014-05:00

Spoiler alert! According to E! Online, Alabama cattle-rancher James "J.T." Thomas Jr. came out on top in the "Survivor: Tocantins" finale last night.

JT was chosen unanimously as the winner at the final tribal council, capturing the million-dollar prize and becoming the 18th season's sole survivor. Viewers at home also voted JT the fan favorite, adding another $100,000 to his winnings.

"I'm happy — it's probably the happiest I've ever been in my life, obviously," Thomas said.

JT used his nice guy image and charm to fly under the radar for much of the game, winning the final two immunity challenges and beating out friend and fellow competitor Stephen Fishbach to take home the victory.

Most Twitterers were thrilled by the results, and even those who were rooting for someone else tweeted some JT praise:

wOnDeRwEnNiE james thomas jr., the sole survivor of survivor tocantins! woohoo! i'm teary eyed.. he deserved it.. =D

e4ella Too bad, neither of Taj or Erinn became the Sole Survivor of Survivor Tocantins... Anyway, J.T is a good player, he deserves the title

Brooke Shields Outraged at Tabloid's Antics

2009-05-18T08:41:00.007-05:00

Brook Shields will take "every lawful action against all who were involved" in checking her 75-year-old mother out of a New Jersey assisted living center last week. Per PEOPLE, Teri Shields was seen at a restaurant speaking with a freelance reporter, but the event wasn't authorized by the Shields family. Teri suffers from dementia and was residing in a senior living facility when two reporters checked her out, claiming they were friends of Teri's.

Shields was contacted by police, and claims the reporters were not friends of Teri's and were just looking for a story. The National Enquirer released this statement to PEOPLE: "A freelance reporter who has known Teri Shields for more than 10 years visited her Thursday at the assisted living facility where Brooke says she moved her. Teri asked the reporter to take her out to lunch and to run some errands. The freelance reporter then got permission from the facility to do so."

Twitterers were disgusted by the alleged behavior of the reporters:

priya_elayath did you guys see the story about brook shields mother. it's disgusting how low people will go just to find the secrets of celebrity's lives.

emmanovember I cannot believe someone would do that. (Re: the news regarding Brook Shields' mother)

"Chuck" Will Return to NBC

2009-05-18T08:36:00.003-05:00

The campaign to save "Chuck" apparently paid off. According to EW.com, NBC will renew the spy-comedy for its third season, giving it a 13-episode order.

While the renewal news is good, it will come at a price for members of the show. Warner Bros. agreed to "make significant budget concessions, including scaling back the number of episodes several members of the show's stellar supporting cast will appear in and, per one insider, possibly eliminating one actor altogether."

Still, the Twitterverse was excited by the news:

MikaylaLeigh Chuck has been renewed! So so happy.

brickfrenzy Yes! Chuck has been renewed! *happy dance*

msigsby AHHHHH!!! Chuck got renewed for a third season!!! Hallelujah!!!

KRife Calling all geeks! NBC has renewed nerd-spy comedy Chuck for a 13-episode third season for the fall. YAAAAY!!!! SOO HAPPY!

Pixar's "Up" Opens Cannes

2009-05-15T19:49:00.010-05:00

The Cannes Film Festival broke new ground by opening with a Pixar film. It was the first animated film, the first 3D film and the first Disney film to kick off the festival in its in 62-year history, according to The Australian.

Per CNN, Cannes audiences are notoriously vocal. They'll whistle if they're unhappy -- a French version of a boo -- and a movie that doesn't meet the audience's high standards will be treated to the repeated "whop" sounds of theater seats banging shut as patrons leave."Up," however, received little noise but cheers and stellar reviews from critics.

The Twitterverse buzzed about the film's premiere.

Pink and Carey Hart Together Again

2009-05-15T00:55:00.005-05:00

Pink announced on the "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" airing today that she and motocross racer Carey Hart are back together, reports PEOPLE.com. The couple split two years after their 2006 wedding.

In the segment, Pink jokes with Ellen about her song "So What," a song she wrote about Hart after they split.

"He's in the audience so when I sing, 'He's a tool,' now that's my favorite line," Pink says.

It is unclear yet if Pink and Hart will have another ceremony to affirm their re-commitment. According to the article, Pinks says "we didn't do the paperwork deal," so they are technically still married.

Some tweeters were glad to see the two back together while others are just glad to see Pink:

Kristin Cavallari Joins "The Hills"

2009-05-14T12:08:00.028-05:00

It's out with the old and in with new on "The Hills." "Laguna Beach" alumna Kristin Cavallari will replace the departing Lauren Conrad during the MTV series' sixth season, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Cavallari will make her first appearance during the show's May 31st season finale at Heidi Montag and Spender Pratt's wedding.

Conrad and Cavallari became fast rivals back in 2004 when they both vied for the same boy, co-star Stephen Colletti, on "Laguna Beach." Now three years since that show ended, Cavallari couldn't help but start her new gig with a slight snub to Conrad.

The 22-year-old said she'll showcase her energy and spontaneity, when asked how she's be different from the Conrad. Cavallari also said she plans to put more of her love life on-screen. "It’s a TV show and they need to make it entertaining," she said.

Co-stars Montag and Pratt told Entertainment Weekly they welcome the change. They credit Cavillari for introducing them and say they are looking forward to her joining the crew.

Twitterers have mixed feelings on the news:

"Slumdog" Star's Home Demolished

2009-05-14T11:00:00.009-05:00

EOnline.com reported today that the home of ten-year-old Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, who played young Salim in the Oscar-winning movie "Slumdog Millionaire," was unexpectedly demolished by an bulldozer.

According to the article, the city claimed they were unaware that the home was going to be demolished and that the Ismail family would be given other accommodations. No arrangements have yet been made, however, and the family is currently homeless.

The Ismails, who lived in the slums of Mumbai for more than 15 years, did not have legal claim to their home, the article said.

The Twitterverse is outraged by the sudden events.

BadBabyClothes This is an absolute DISGRACE. How are they still living there? Slumdog made a TON of money, they get nothing. Unreal. http://bit.ly/I7mki

Adam Lambert Beats Kris Allen in eBay Memorabilia

2009-05-14T10:57:00.008-05:00

According to MTV.com, the competition between the final two "Idol" contestants, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen, has spread to eBay. Fans have been listing "American Idol"-related mementos on the site, and ones from Lambert and Allen have doubled since April.

While the two singers are neck-and-neck in the "Idol" competition right now, Lambert is way ahead of Allen in terms of eBay offerings. Lambert currently has 728 knickknacks for sale to Allen's 70.

Lambert fans are also winning in creativity. Lambert-related items vary from a ravioli that the seller claims looks just like him to a locket containing a strand of Lambert's hair that was collected from a salon.

Twitterers found the eBay items humorous and downright weird.

mattbeetar Someone is selling Adam Lambert's hair on ebay? Seriously?? That's a little extreme. And kinda weird. A lot weird in fact.

Ashton Kutcher Pranks CNN

2009-05-14T08:08:00.012-05:00

Tweeters in Atlanta received a big surprise Wednesday when Ashton Kutcher, along with Demi Moore, invited them to "ding-dong-ditch" CNN founder Ted Turner's restaurant, Ted's Montana Grill.

After the dropping off nearly 800 boxes of ding dongs, Kutcher revealed a second mission: dropping a huge banner with his Twitter name @aplusk over the CNN headquarters.

The prank was the result of a challenge between CNN and Kutcher to race for one million followers on Twitter. Kutcher will also donate 10,000 mosquito bed nets to charity for World Malaria Day.

If you missed the event, CNN.com posted video footage and a story.

Twitter users enjoyed the Kutcher prank:

Teyona Wins "America's Next Top Model"

2009-05-14T03:24:00.013-05:00

Contestant Teyona Anderson walked away with the Cycle 12 title of "America's Next Top Model" last night, reports E! Online.

Anderson defeated finalist Allison Harvard to win representation with Elite Modeling Agency, a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl Cosmetics and a six-page spread in Seventeen Magazine.

Anderson impressed the judges, including departing Paulina Porizkova, with her performance in the final Rosa Cha runway show set in Brazil and Seventeen cover shoot.

The 20-year-old beat out 13 other models to take the title and admitted she was in disbelief.

"I'm so proud of myself, it's ridiculous. Like, is this for real?" Anderson said moments after her win.

Harvard's supporters say they also found themselves in disbelief:

Miss California Co-Director Resigns

2009-05-14T00:01:00.002-05:00

Shanna Moakler, co-director of the Miss California USA Organization, stepped down from her position today. The news come one day after Donald Trump and the Miss USA organization decided that Miss California, Carrie Prejean, could keep her crown and remain runner up for the Miss USA title after the release of scandalous pictures and other controversies.

According to PEOPLE.com, Moakler initially offered support to Prejean, 21, after controversy about Prejean's views on same-sex marriage and a topless photo were deemed acceptable behavior by Trump.

But on Wednesday, Moakler, who is a former Miss USA titleholder herself, issued a statement to the Miss USA Organization saying, "I cannot with a clear conscience move forward supporting and promoting the Miss Universe Organization when I no longer believe in it."

Moakler is also known for being the on-again, off-again wife of Blink-182's Travis Barker. The couple starred in the MTV reality series "Meet the Barkers."

Twitterers mostly supported Moakler's move, but some didn't agree:

PortugeeQn @sammystapley Shanna Moakler is freakin human...chillax she did what she had to do her heart wasnt in it anymore!!

redsugar Haha. Sweet. Shanna Moakler resigns after learning Miss California will keep her crown http://tinyurl.com/p6hqbr

Danny Gokey Sent Home On "Idol"

2009-05-13T23:51:00.005-05:00

Widowed crooner Danny Gokey was sent home on tonight's "American Idol," leaving rocker Adam Lambert and clean-cut Kris Allen competing for the title.

Twitterers buzzed with responses to the elimination:

"New Moon" Script Found In Trash

2009-05-13T21:40:00.009-05:00

Casey Ray, who owns a beauty salon in St. Louis, Missouri, hit the jackpot. Or would have if she didn't have a conscience. Ray found scripts for two films that "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson will be staring in, "Twilight Saga: New Moon" and "Memoirs," a romantic drama expected to begin production this summer, in a trash bin.

So how did they get there? One theory, according to EW.com, goes like this: The scripts were found in a trash bin outside a hotel that is housing actors for George Clooney's latest project, "Up in the Air." A member of that cast is Anna Kendrick, who plays Bella Swan's friend Jessica in the "Twilight Saga." Kendrick's reps have denied that she misplaced or mistreated the scripts in question.

Back to Ray: She considered selling the scripts to the tabloids but, as her lawyer told the AP, she did not want the money. Instead, she returned the scripts to their rightful owners and received tickets to both movies premieres. She'll also get the scripts back from Summit Entertainment after the movies hit the big screen.

Twitterverse reaction ranged from wondering what Ray was doing in a trash bin, to wondering how she could give up the scripts:

Katski11 I can't believe the Twilight Saga: New Moon' script was found in trash...and returned. I would have kept it!!!!

SMiLEJewelle Wow. I was thinking, that woman found the New Moon script in the trash...how did she go by it? Was she DIGGING in the trash!??!

foxyamber Seriously can not believe some one found the Twilight-New Moon script in the trash I'm soo excited to see that I could pee my pants!!!!!!!!!

sydneyaus http://bit.ly/y1g6f New Moon Info: New Moon Script Found in Trash!- someone's not happy with the script lol!

SuperDino12 I recently watched the news and heard about that lady who found a copy of New Moon in the trash! I would have kept it and read it a lot!

Kate Gosselin Admits Marriage Struggles

2009-05-13T20:53:00.007-05:00

Kate Gosselin discusses her struggles with husband Jon Gosselin in PEOPLE's latest cover story. The Gosselin family is the subject of the popular reality show "Jon & Kate Plus Eight."

After 23-year-old Deanna Hummel's brother claimed that she was having a months-long affair with Jon Gosselin, the family may see a future apart, Kate said. Jon Gosselin previously denied cheating on Kate but admitted to hanging out with Hummel.

While Kate called her husband a center of "stability" and "balance," she said a separation isn't out of the question. In PEOPLE article she's quoted as saying, "You can't imagine yourself in a certain position when all this first happens, but you can do it over some months." Perhaps even more to the point, Gosselin said "I don't know that we're in the same place anymore, that we want the same things."

But the family might stay together afterall: "I will never give up hope that every member of our family can be absolutely happy again," she said.

Some Twitter users are confused by all the back-and-forth drama, and others think it has been blown out of proportion:

SoccerMomtoMnL doesn't know who to believe about the whole Jon & Kate Gosselin thing....frustrating!!

THEWesMolebash Call me what you will, but I'm kinda bummed at the possibility of Jon and Kate Gosselin's divorce.

dmurawski Me and Alex are disgusted in Jon and Kate Gosselin!

kelseyhale jon gosselin do us a favor : LEAVE KATE AND TAKE CARA AND HANNAH WITH YOU! THEY DONT NEED HER!

lvchic5x5 Since when did Kate Gosselin become diva? WTF http://bit.ly/EFhJ

Tarawind Says what is up with all this Jon and Kate Gosselin issues...If they cheated admit it and decide what to do next.....The kids should be 1st.

melanita911 Jon and Kate Gosselin are pretty much a big nasty mess these days. Just random info for those who watch their show.

Paulina Porizkova Fired From "Top Model"

2009-05-13T14:30:00.008-05:00

According to PEOPLE, tonight's "America's Next Top Model" finale will be judge Paulina Porizkova's last show.

The supermodel said she was recently fired from the reality TV series during an interview with Craig Ferguson. Porizkova told "The Late Late Show" host that the Tyra Bank-hosted show needed "to cut some fat and the fat was me." Producers also told her she has an "ego problem."

While most Twitter users are glad about the decision, others are upset:

sfenton24 Wow, I'm really disappointed ANTM fired Paulina Porizkova. Maybe they'll finally make Jay Manuel a judge.

Teflondiva omg ANTM fried Paulina Porizkova she was the best thing on the show these past season's

RichelleMead Wow. Paulina Porizkova was fired from ANTM. Can't say I'm too heartbroken after the harsh way she told 25-year-old Celia she was "too old."

LAPD Finds Mess, Not Robbery, At Lindsay Lohan's Home

2009-05-13T12:51:00.010-05:00

According to PEOPLE.com, Lindsay Lohan’s biggest concern should be for the condition of her residence, not for the break in she thought she had.

At 3 p.m. Tuesday, Los Angeles police responded to Lohan’s home security alarm. What they found at her residence was evidence of a potential break-in and “ransacking.”

As it turns out, the LAPDtold the Associated Press, nothing was wrong despite the home's messy state. Los Angeles police officer Karen Rayner even asked, “Is it always like this, or did the intruders do it?”

Lohan was not home at the time of the “break-in,” and nothing was stolen. The police concluded that the alarm had malfunctioned.

Twitterers made fun of the star's latest drama:

JimmyHodson Thanks to Lindsay Lohan, now we never have to clean up our home, we can just say it was ransacked!

joshkendrix Police called to Lindsay Lohan's house, see a mess and suspect burglary. Nope! Turns out her house is just a pigsty.

Kanye West Disses Twitter

2009-05-13T10:34:00.013-05:00

Kanye West is more than just a little upset with Twitter, if his latest blog post is any indication. His beef stems from the high volume of West accounts on the site, even though none of them are actually his.

West blogged about the situation yesterday:

"(This spaz comes courtesy of losers making fake Kanye West Twitter accounts) I DON'T HAVE A F*ING TWITTER... WHY WOULD I USE TWITTER??? I ONLY BLOG 5 PERCENT OF WHAT I'M UP TO IN THE FIRST PLACE. I'M ACTUALLY SLOW DELIVERING CONTENT BECAUSE I'M TOO BUSY ACTUALLY BUSY BEING CREATIVE MOST OF THE TIME AND IF I'M NOT AND I'M JUST LAYING ON A BEACH I WOULDN'T TELL THE WORLD. EVERYTHING THAT TWITTER OFFERS I NEED LESS OF. THE PEOPLE AT TWITTER KNOW I DON'T HAVE A F*G TWITTER SO FOR THEM TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO POSE AS ME AND ACCUMULATE OVER A MILLION NAMES IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND DECEITFUL TO THERE FAITHFUL USERS. REPEAT... THE HEADS OF TWITTER KNEW I DIDN'T HAVE A TWITTER AND THEY HAVE TO KNOW WHICH ACCOUNTS HAVE HIGH ACTIVITY ON THEM. IT'S A F*G FARCE AND IT MAKES ME QUESTION WHAT OTHER SO CALLED CELEBRITY TWITTERS ARE ACTUALLY REAL OR FAKE. HEY TWITTER, TAKE THE SO CALLED KANYE WEST TWITTER DOWN NOW...WHY? ... BECAUSE MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD!!!!!!!!!"

The Twitterverse mocked West's rant rather than sympathizing with him:

lorenaoneil MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD.... who wants to read Edgar Allen Poe when we have the genius of Kanye West in our midst?

nsharm75 He's clueless RT @mymix1079: Well, Kanye West made it clear he has absolutely NO concept of what Twitter is or does. http://short.to/971

LipstickNYC This is why I want to punch Kanye in the face. RT @ViewsNews Kanye West's anti-TWITTER web rant - http://bit.ly/uUS8u

tundal45 I think Kanye should change his last name from West to Wept since he is such a cry baby.

alexchoi I'm going to break into Kanye West's house and remove his "caps lock" key

cforster Kanye West (fairly?) complains about twitter: http://bit.ly/wUtEP - uses (& jokes about using) all CAPS; & then uses "there" for "their."

Adam, Danny and Kris Perform on "American Idol"

2009-05-12T21:28:00.010-05:00

The competition is heating up on "American Idol," with only three contestants left in the running. On Tuesday night's show, the top three sang songs selected by the judges as well as ones of their own choosing.

Paula Abdul chose "Dance, Little Sister" for Danny Gokey, but while his singing received good reviews, Kara DioGuardi wasn't a fan of Gokey's moves. He chose "You Are So Beautiful" as his second song, which the judges raved about. Kara told him, "Everything you didn't do [in your first song], you just did!" Twitterers had mixed reviews of his performances:

RyanOConnor Still LOVES Danny Gokey and doesn't care if it's not as cool as it used to be!! I'm loyal, if nothing else!!

nerfwarriors I think Danny Gokey might be the most boring singer EVER...

theburglar1337 really really likes Danny Gokey, despite being brainwashed by all of the Adam and Chris zombies.

rochelle71 American Idol show was great tonight. Been voting for Danny Gokey. Hope he's in the finale.

le_ponch Dear America, please send Danny Gokey home. Sincerely ME

Kris Allen had a strong night on the show, first singing the Randy and Kara chosen "Apologize" and then putting his own spin on Kanye West's hit "Heartless". While Kara said he didn't "hit it out of the park," tweets from "Idol" fans were overwhelmingly positive:

markasey Kris Allen just may be the cutest guy I've ever seen.

shoelover14 my american idol is kris allen :)

natetang I though that Kris Allen did a great job with the Kayne West song tonight. http://bit.ly/Hofvy - It is going to be close on American Idol

etazar01 Just voted for Kris Allen like a zillion times... My finger is tired:(

nashae loved Kris Allen's performance. lolz@ Simon, he's funny.

Simon Cowell chose Adam Lambert's first song, "One" by U2. The judges all agreed it was another strong performance, and were equally enthusiastic about his rendition of Aerosmith's "Cryin." Simon encouraged everyone to vote for Lambert, and while some proclaimed their fandom over Twitter, others in the Twitterverse weren't thrilled with his songs:

GodivaFilm @ttaumua Adam Lambert is NOT going home until next week- when he has won^^

sasigurl430 I always have a big smile on my face throughout each and everyone of Adam Lambert's performances :D.

ashposh Adam Lambert is totally going to win this competition! He has new and interesting stuff every week and, although I like Danny, he's amazing!

kaytiebeth06 I'm still pissed alison isn't on american idol, but i do love me some adam lambert.

sbgaines Is Adam Lambert *trying* to lose to get out of an Idol contract?! Did he just BLOW the surest Idol lead ever?

walrusoct9 I had the accidental misfortune of hearing Adam Lambert sing U2's "One." Why couldn't I have been born deaf? My ears may never recover.

Post-"Idol" tweets about Lambert weren't solely about his singing talent - Twitterers were also gossiping about recent reports that Adam could be the first gay "American Idol." Lambert appears alone on the May 15 cover of Entertainment Weekly with the headline "Most Exciting 'American Idol' Contestant In Years," but most Twitter users seem to think that Lambert's sexuality is no big deal and are expressing support for the rocker:

mosbold Boy, Adam Lambert. You reppin' the gay community big time. Damn, you can sing.

dannydefreitas Will Adam Lambert be the first gay American Idol? (i'm thinking.... HELLZ YEAHHH!!!

BrendanPMurphy If Adam Lambert wins America will have voted for a Black President and a Gay Rock Star in the same year. Great stuff U.S! stay open-minded..

leyyyy someone told me adam lambert is gay? danggggg it. no hope for me :(

ernestsewell Does it matter if Adam Lambert is gay or not? Is he "hiding" if he doesn't COME OUT? His friends/family know, so who is he hiding from?

Trump Gives Miss California USA Second Chance

2009-05-12T14:06:00.009-05:00

Per CNN, Miss California USA Carrie Prejean will keep her crown and continue as the first runner-up in this year's pageant. Despite a debate over posing in semi-nude photos, Donald Trump, owner of the pageant, agreed to let her remain in her current position, saying the photos do not violate her contract with the organization.

The decision came weeks after Prejean stirred up controversy by expressing her beliefs against same-sex marriage during the pageant. Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton asked the same-sex marriage question and marked her down poorly for her response; it possibly cost her the crown.

Tweets popped up left and right, politically speaking, on Prejean and her views:

Supermanrod04 Miss California had every right to say what she believed. And people who disagree with her had every right to criticize her. Free speech!

TinaDupuy Miss California is the worst kind of Christian hypocrite...the pretty kind that everyone pays attention to...

Alevs34 Who cares if Miss California takes racy photos or has fake boobs. What matters is she's a bigot, homophobe: that's a horrible role model.

micaelea Miss California can say whatever she wants. So can I. GO GAY MARRIAGE GO!

belmontchef OK! So glad Miss California gets to keep her title. I'm not conservative but we're supposed to respect each others' views! Congrats Carrie!

martynwayn miss california needs to think about how happy 2 people in love can b, and stop tryin to spoil othr peoples happiness, its for them, not us

SterlingWbond i think Miss California had every right to express her feelings about gay marriage.

Lady_Jenny Just watched Miss California's speech. Well spoken and I'm glad she gets to keep her crown.

sirkittyjojo @PerezHilton i agree with perez. miss california is a putz

Mixed Reaction to Gossip Girl Spin-Off

2009-05-12T10:55:00.009-05:00

The Twitterverse can't seem to decide how it feels about the Gossip Girl's spin-off starring Brittany Snow as Lily Van Der Woodsen growing up in the 80's. The show aired last night as a regular Gossip Girl episode but was essentially what the industry calls a "back-door pilot."

According to the blogosphere, reaction to the potential series isn't good good. New York Magazine's review of last night's test episode listed plenty of reasons as to why the show will probably fail. Roger Catlin of The Hartford Currant also gave a negative review, while the LATimes.com highlighted both positives and negatives.

Gossip Girl fans on Twitter also gave mixed reviews.

heathercaitlin hmm.gossip girl-80s style was better than i thought.true they're doing a valley girl spinoff with bsnow? would be interesting!

thisrecording all right, I would officially watch the hell out of this 80s Gossip Girl spinoff. make it so, CW network officials!

alexaace to Gossip Girl producers looking to twitterverse for reactions to the pseudopilot: please kill the lily spinoff. today's episode was awful.

shazamy The flashback parts of tonight Gossip Girl were the best parts of the episode! PLEASE CW PICK UP THIS SPINOFF!!

barefootgirl2 Not sure if I liked the Gossip Girl spinoff, but I'm sure I will still watch if it makes it on the air.

cobaininacoma Gossip Girl's '80s spinoff looks like the worst TV show... Of all time?

kirker Liked tonight's quasi-"Gossip Girl" spinoff ep with Lily circa 1983-realistic except the hair needs to be MUCH poofier and moussed

wtfbrain I'm really glad the 80's Gossip Girl spinoff looks to be dead. That would have been way too cheesy.

lalalexieD Ack, I hope The CW picks up the Gossip Girl spinoff, because I thoroughly enjoyed last night's episode. Hello, 80's fashion!

egelyn Gossip Girl was good like always. I'm kind of glad that the 80's spinoff got cancelled because it was rather yawnworthy in this episode.

While Deadline Hollywood Daily reported last week that the show won't make it on to The CW's fall lineup, E!Online reported it still has a chance.

Farrah Fawcett In Legal Mess With National Enquirer

2009-05-12T08:42:00.008-05:00

Farrah Fawcett, currently battling cancer, now has another fight brewin. The U.S. General Attorney and the FBI are in the process of determining whether or not the National Enquirer paid a hospital worker to leak confidential information about her condition, according to Entertainment Weekly.

A story in the L.A. Times reported Lawanda Jackson, an administrative specialist, was the UCLA Medical Center employee who allegedly accessed Fawcett's records. When the hospital tried to remove her in July 2007, she quit her job.

American Media Inc., the parent company of the National Enquirer, continues to write stories about Fawcett, despite the severity of the pending issue.

Fans of the former Charlie's Angels star showed their support through Twitter.
