Pink and Carey Hart Together Again

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:

Adam Lambert Beats Kris Allen in eBay Memorabilia

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.

  1. Matt Beetar
    mattbeetar Someone is selling Adam Lambert's hair on ebay? Seriously?? That's a little extreme. And kinda weird. A lot weird in fact.
  2. OwnedByOzzy
    OwnedByOzzy Adam Lambert's hair for sale on eBay. Seller says it's real, so it must be. LOL! Yeah, right.
  3. Big Brother Blogger

Kanye West Disses Twitter

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:

  1. Lorena O'Neil
    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?
  2. Nick Sharma
    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
  3. ☆Lez Girl in NYC☆
    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
  4. Ashish Dixit
    tundal45 I think Kanye should change his last name from West to Wept since he is such a cry baby.
  5. alexchoi
    alexchoi I'm going to break into Kanye West's house and remove his "caps lock" key

  8. Ian Cavalier
    iancavalier might start typing in ALL CAPS with extra typos from now on, as an homage to Kanye West's blog rants. WHY? BECAUSE MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD!
  1. Chris Forster
    cforster Kanye West (fairly?) complains about twitter: http://bit.ly/wUtEP - uses (& jokes about using) all CAPS; & then uses "there" for "their."
  2. Danny Sullivan
    dannysullivan i can see kanye west's point. but he's also a brand. get your twitter name & lock it down. & that's a terrible blog http://bit.ly/AqJFl

Adam, Danny and Kris Perform on "American Idol"

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:

  1. RyanOConnor
    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!!
  2. nerfwarriors
    nerfwarriors I think Danny Gokey might be the most boring singer EVER...
  3. Chenoa Houle
    theburglar1337 really really likes Danny Gokey, despite being brainwashed by all of the Adam and Chris zombies.
  4. Rochelle Aquino
    rochelle71 American Idol show was great tonight. Been voting for Danny Gokey. Hope he's in the finale.
  5. Nichole Rea
    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:

  1. Mark LeGault
    markasey Kris Allen just may be the cutest guy I've ever seen.
  2. terra dees
    shoelover14 my american idol is kris allen :)
  3. Nathan McIntyre
    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
  4. Erika
    etazar01 Just voted for Kris Allen like a zillion times... My finger is tired:(
  5. Taneasha Shepherd
    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:

  1. GodivaFilm
    GodivaFilm @ttaumua Adam Lambert is NOT going home until next week- when he has won^^
  2. Michelle Semblante
    sasigurl430 I always have a big smile on my face throughout each and everyone of Adam Lambert's performances :D.
  3. Ashlee Palka
    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!
  4. Kaytie Craigmyle
    kaytiebeth06 I'm still pissed alison isn't on american idol, but i do love me some adam lambert.
  5. sbgaines
    sbgaines Is Adam Lambert *trying* to lose to get out of an Idol contract?! Did he just BLOW the surest Idol lead ever?
  6. Steve Cunningham
    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:

  1. Morgan Ricks
    mosbold Boy, Adam Lambert. You reppin' the gay community big time. Damn, you can sing.
  2. Daniel Defreitas
    dannydefreitas Will Adam Lambert be the first gay American Idol? (i'm thinking.... HELLZ YEAHHH!!!
  3. Brendan P. Murphy
    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..
  4. Lauren Yates
    leyyyy someone told me adam lambert is gay? danggggg it. no hope for me :(
  5. E4N3ST L 5EW3LL 4.0
    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?
