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 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 I think Danny Gokey might be the most boring singer EVER...
3. 
   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.
5. 
   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. 
   markasey Kris Allen just may be the cutest guy I've ever seen.
2. 
   shoelover14 my american idol is kris allen :)
3. 
   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. 
   etazar01 Just voted for Kris Allen like a zillion times... My finger is tired:(
5. 
   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 @ttaumua Adam Lambert is NOT going home until next week- when he has won^^
2. 
   sasigurl430 I always have a big smile on my face throughout each and everyone of Adam Lambert's performances :D.
3. 
   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. 
   kaytiebeth06 I'm still pissed alison isn't on american idol, but i do love me some adam lambert.
5. 
   sbgaines Is Adam Lambert *trying* to lose to get out of an Idol contract?! Did he just BLOW the surest Idol lead ever?
6. 
   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. 
   mosbold Boy, Adam Lambert. You reppin' the gay community big time. Damn, you can sing.
2. 
   dannydefreitas Will Adam Lambert be the first gay American Idol? (i'm thinking.... HELLZ YEAHHH!!!
3. 
   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. 
   leyyyy someone told me adam lambert is gay? danggggg it. no hope for me :(
5. 
   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?

Chad Michael Murray Leaving "One Tree Hill"

Entertainment Weekly reports Chad Michael Murray and co-star Hilarie Burton will not return for next season's "One Tree Hill."

The actors play Lucas and Peyton, who got married on last night's episode. Now their presence in Tree Hill won't last past the show's season six finale next week.

Murray and Burton have been locked in contract negotiations for several months, but, ultimately, no deal was made. The rest of the main cast secured deals for the seventh season.

Several tweeps are upset about the exits.

Trump Gives Miss California USA Second Chance

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:

1. 
   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!
2. 
   TinaDupuy Miss California is the worst kind of Christian hypocrite...the pretty kind that everyone pays attention to...
3. 
   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.
4. 
   micaelea Miss California can say whatever she wants. So can I. GO GAY MARRIAGE GO!
5. 
   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!
6. 
   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
7. 
   SterlingWbond i think Miss California had every right to express her feelings about gay marriage.
8. 
   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

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.

1. 
   heathercaitlin hmm.gossip girl-80s style was better than i thought.true they're doing a valley girl spinoff with bsnow? would be interesting!
2. 
   thisrecording all right, I would officially watch the hell out of this 80s Gossip Girl spinoff. make it so, CW network officials!
3. 
   alexaace to Gossip Girl producers looking to twitterverse for reactions to the pseudopilot: please kill the lily spinoff. today's episode was awful.
4. 
   shazamy The flashback parts of tonight Gossip Girl were the best parts of the episode! PLEASE CW PICK UP THIS SPINOFF!!
5. 
   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.
6. 
   cobaininacoma Gossip Girl's '80s spinoff looks like the worst TV show... Of all time?
7. 
   kirker Liked tonight's quasi-"Gossip Girl" spinoff ep with Lily circa 1983-realistic except the hair needs to be MUCH poofier and moussed
8. 
   wtfbrain I'm really glad the 80's Gossip Girl spinoff looks to be dead. That would have been way too cheesy.
9. 
   lalalexieD Ack, I hope The CW picks up the Gossip Girl spinoff, because I thoroughly enjoyed last night's episode. Hello, 80's fashion!
10. 
    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

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.
