Melissa Rycroft Avoids 'DWTS' Elimination

Even though she didn't perform live last night, Melissa Rycroft earned enough votes to remain in the "Dancing With the Stars" competition. Instead, Chris Wicks was sent packing, MSNBC reports.

Wicks' elimination left 5 dancers in the competition. There could be long-term effects of Wicks' ouster, considering he is dating his pro partner, Julianne Hough, who has said this will be her last season on the show.

Some Twitterers seemed upset by her departure:

1. 
   AshleyMichele07 Chuck Wicks & Julianne Hough leaving dwts! :(
2. 
   KellyGingery Chuck is totally a gracious loser. But then again, he gets to go home with Julianne. Right @DVDSnapshot & @Blantonius ? :) #DWTS
3. 
   skishua I am far too emotionally invested in reality television. Still recovering from my mini Dancing with the Stars results panic attack. #DWTS
4. 
   jordan_levy I am so sad that chuck and julianne are off #dwts
5. 
   ZacSwan No reason to watch #DWTS anymore now that Julianne Hough won't be around to see :-(
6. 
   MARKCRAWFORD1 Julianne hough just got voted off. Now she's free to hang out with me
7. 
   t_xtina I want Julianne Hough back on DWTS!!! :'(

But Melissa fans were happy to find out Rycroft was sticking around for at least another week:

1. 
   ceo08 YAY!!! Melissa Rycroft is safe on Dancing w/ the Stars!!
2. 
   beewsee Tony looked like he was just blown away by that decision. #dwts They'll be on a tear next week if Melissa is healthy.
3. 
   pourme If Melisa is able she will dance her a** off next week!...#DWTS...
4. 
   lauradi308 #dwts I am soooo relieved. At least there's some fairness in all this mess with Tony & Melissa. Sad to see C & J go, though.
5.

"American Idol" Top Five Perform Rat Pack Standards

The final five contestants on "American Idol" sang classic Rat Pack era standards for tonight's performance show. American Music Award winner Jamie Foxx appeared as the guest mentor and told Kris Allen, the first to perform, "You're my number one!"

The judges were also fans of Allen tonight, with Randy Jackson saying his version of "The Way You Look Tonight" was his "best yet". "Idol" devotees tweeted their agreement (even though they got the spelling of his name wrong!).

1. 
   jasonscottadams If I was a chick, I'd stalk Chris Allen. He was spectacular tonight. Wow. Best performance yet for him on AI.
2. 
   mltolbert #Chris #Allen is really talented. Yes, this is good. I would definitely buy the album.
3. 
   omarilu was wowed by Chris Allen...
4. 
   RotoKantus was just watching American Idol.... I loves me some Chris Allen

Allison Iraheta performed "Someone To Watch Over Me," to mostly good reviews from the judges, but Simon Cowell said she was a 7 out of 10 and told her, "I have a horrible feeling you might be in trouble tonight." Allison fans in the Twitterverse responded by encouraging others to vote for her.

1. 
   Nastialiukinfan @AllisonOfficial Allison, you were amazing. I've been voting for you the whole time. gotta keep voting! =]
2. 
   girlyheather Watching American Idol! People vote for Allison...she is amazing and only 17!
3. 
   sklansky Go Allison. She can watch over me :). #americanidol
4. 
   LLHGAfan VOTE FOR ALLISON!! SHE'S THE BEST!

Matt Giraud's performance of "My Funny Valentine" got mixed reviews from Twitterers as well as the judges, with Randy calling him "pitchy" and Simon saying he was "brilliant."

1. 
   CompanyWoman Ok America, I am seriously tired of having to mute and fast forward through Matt Giraud. Please make it stop. #americanidol
2. 
   stephgelletta I just voted for Matt Giraud 480 plus times, SWEET!
3. 
   azbigdaddy Matt Giraud was fairly good. Just nothing special. No breakout moment or anything memorable. 3 key changes in one song? #idol
4. 
   KaraMofay Dear Matt Giraud, thanks for BUTCHERING one of my favorite songs of all time.

Danny Gokey had a "stellar" performance, according to Paula Abdul. Tweeps also raved about his rendition of "Come Rain or Come Shine."

1. 
   azbigdaddy Finally, Danny Gokey stepped up and WHAM! he hit it out of the park. What a great job he did. He used all he had to give and it paid off.
2. 
   RaeGorman Yes, i agree with Paula. They were all great but still love it when Danny Gokey sings them tunes!
3. 
   jdperkins1369 just finished Idol.. Danny Gokey is amazing!
4. 
   rajtar Danny Gokey ROCKS! Wish I had half his voice...so does my wife.
   

Adam Lambert closed out the show with a rock version of "Feeling Good." Abdul called him the "Michael Phelps" of the contest and most Twitterers also thought he was tonight's champ.

1. 
   WickedPhx98 OMG Adam is so good, I like that it had the Michael Buble kinda vibe/take on it. He so has this competition in the bag!!!!
2. 
   worldtweeter @patrickem Love him or hate him, Adam Lambert is very talented and artistic. I think he is in a class all by himself.
3. 
   michellerowen Thought Adam's performance on idol was a smidge too campy for me, but he really can do no wrong.
4. 
   RobBishop1 American Idol: Danny was really good. But, yet again, Adam blew it out of the water with his very dramatic and unusual interpretation.

Ryan Seacrest also revealed next week's theme on his Twitter tonight, prompting responses from his followers.

1. 
   RyanSeacrest next week theme is rock and roll on idol btw...what r u doing i'm having a cold smoothie for dinner
2. 
   livelyleslie @RyanSeacrest I'm excited for next week. Yay. Thanks for telling us the theme. :)
3. 
   Scamandalous @RyanSeacrest Are they going to sing two songs each next week?
4. 
   HowardCohen @RyanSeacrest If next week's American Idol theme is rock, they HAVE to keep lil rocker Allison! Adam Lambert, of course, will kill 'em.

Tomorrow night, the contestant with the lowest votes will be sent home. Be sure to come back here to see how the Twitterverse responds!

"The Hills" to return without star Lauren Conrad

According to People.com,"The Hills" will be continuing its fifth season in the fall without the show's leading lady, LC--otherwise known as Lauren Conrad. A press release from MTV stated that "the drama continues with fresh faces, new stories and shocking surprises."

People.com and LATimes.com are asking viewers if they will keep watching the show despite the fact that Lauren is leaving.

Most Twitterers are saying no, expressing disappointment in not only another season but one without the main star.

Wolverine backs down in face of swine flu

Even a superhero with extraordinary healing powers is taking extra precautions when it comes to the recent swine flu outbreak. The Mexico City premiere of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" has been postponed after more than 100 people in Mexico have died from swine flu. According to People.com, a rep for Twentieth Century Fox says, "We were not only concerned about Hugh [Jackman]'s welfare – and we would never send anyone into harm's way – but we also have an enormous office filled with people we care about. There was no point in proceeding with the current conditions."

Twitterers' reaction to the decision vary from disappointment to humor:

1. 
   worstfan even the swine flu knows wolverine is going to suck http://tinyurl.com/dcau28
2. 
   Paul_NYC The swine flu has gone too far: "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" premiere in Mexico is canceled. =(
3. 
   JonnyStark Trend topics: swine flu and wolverine. Could Wolverine avert current world crisis? He has ultimate healing powers. 1 problem. He's not real.
4. 
   liv_thomas Even wolverine can't survive swine flu
   
5. 
   KevinBarbareAAF Swine flu results in the cancellation of the 'Wolverine' Mexico City premiere. Probably just another excuse for Hugh Jackman to go shirtless
   

A rep for the premiere says there is a possibility the premiere will be rescheduled.
