KARA TRIED TO QUIT ‘IDOL’ MONTHS AGO

According to reports from, well, just about everywhere, American Idol judge, Kara DioGuardi tried to lose her job months ago. At first it kinda sounds like a saving face thing like I’m quitting before I’m fired, since the buzz about ‘Idol’ firing all 3 remaining judges and getting all new ones with superstar names like Steven Tyler, Brett Michaels (my pick!!!), Harry Connick Jr. (my least fav) and Shania Twain.

You just wonder how many names they need to toss around, but apparently Simon Cowell was getting like millions a year (anywhere from 36 – 144 million depending on which reports are true or not) so who wouldn’t want his job? I just wish they would keep Randy – Kara, I don’t know… I ‘m not a big fan of hers, but I’m not a hater either.. She was passionate and seemed to try and genuinely want to help the AI contestants, but I don’t know…

What was up with her and Ellen? I mean, was it just me or did those two hate each others’ guts? And near the end of the last season, she was like practically wrapped around Simon like a coat and totally ignoring Ellen on her other side. Speaking of Ellen Degeneres, I think she’s awesome, but agree with those who say she’s just not right as an American Idol Judge.

Anyway, if Kara DioGaurdi tried to quit a few months ago why didn’t the powers that be at American Idol just let her? Aren’t they cleaning house or what?

AI is reportedly keeping Kara hanging due to something in her contract and won’t give her an answer until they decide on their whole judging situation. That must be aggravating to Kara DioGaurdi to be in career limbo like that!

ADAM IS STYLIN’ IT UP THE$E DAYS

After posting pictures of his new, half-shaved hairstyle online last week, Adam Lambert has expressed surprise that people are making such a big deal about it. (Okay, hello, people have always made a big deal about celebrities’ hair – Jennifer Aniston,  Farrah Fawcett, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Donald Trump) Good or bad, attractive or scary, people for some reason love to talk about people’s hairstyles or lack thereof.

From far away I think it looks like Adam is wearing a black cat on his head. One side is shaved, but the other more than makes up for it – it’s piled high with about quadruple Donald Trump’s comb over/orange cat on his head. Adam’s really gone for a variety of textures in his new ‘do since the middle is sort of a Mowhawk and the front section hangs down low on one side of his forehead like Rihanna’s. Well, ya know, Adam Lambert can carry it off.. He’s tryin’ to keep things fresh.

The purple suit is concert fabulous. He wore it recently at a performance in Toronto, Canada. Top hats and jackets with a lot of details such as jewels and fringe are his signature looks  as are the heavily made up smoky eyes. (Hey I think I rocked that look in the 80s — just kidding!)

Well, love or hate his music, at least he is being creative in his approach. I wanted him to win American Idol, but he’s doing really well despite not winning. It seems like this year’s second-placer, Crystal Bowersox, is doing well also. I just wonder where Adam Lambert can go next with his style after being so over the top, but something tells me that he won’t run out of creative ideas. He seems destined to be a rock god no matter what people say. Well, at 28, he still probably has a lot of years left to surprise us with new looks as well as, hopefully, new sounds!

Speaking of American Idol, this kid would dominate anyone on that show. His chubby face, bowl-haircut rendition of Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” puts all the current Idols to shame.

YES YES YES!! Let’s hope he whips those pussies into shape and shows them what a REAL Idol is like.

Miley Cyrus will be the celebrity mentor on American Idol during the Billboard No. 1 Hits show on Tuesday. Good luck idolers! I hope she teaches them all about singing rasp-ily while taking pictures in your underwear. It’s gonna be a party in the U-S-A.
