‘I watch it for the singers and for Simon,’ the comedian tells MTV News. By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Sarah Silverman Photo: MTV News Tuesday night marked the beginning of the Ellen DeGeneres era on “American Idol.” The evening also moved us one episode closer to the end of the Simon Cowell reign of caustic truth-telling. Some worry about this passing of the reality judge’s torch, while others embrace it. You can count Sarah Silverman, another caustic truth-teller in her stand-up comedy, in the “Uh-oh, there goes ‘Idol’ ” camp. “I watch it for the singers and for Simon,” she told MTV News. “I’m not really interested in laughs or other things or when they do funny videos around the Ford Focus. I just want to see the singers and then I want to see what Simon says.” Silverman has also gotten to know one prominent “Idol” alumnus. At the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards in January, the comedian joined Adam Lambert onstage to present the award for Best Comedy. The duo’s appearance became one of the most talked-about moments of the evening after a funny exchange in which Silverman complained about people obsessing over her sexuality. “I love Adam Lambert,” she told us. “I think he’s spectacular.” But she doesn’t think she’d do so well behind the judges’ table. Asked if she had any interest in replacing Cowell, Silverman vigorously shook her head and said, “Nah.” In fact, she’s not even sure she’ll continue to watch the show during future, Simon-less seasons. “When he’s gone, I don’t know,” she said. “I love Ellen, I’m a huge fan. In terms of that show, I like him. He’s in music professionally.” Get your “Idol” fix on MTV News’ “American Idol” page , where you’ll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.

‘I feel that’s who the streets look at as far as trap music,’ Gotti tells Mixtape Daily. By Shaheem Reid Yo Gotti Photo: Polo Grounds Celebrity Favorites Yo Gotti just wants to preserve the environment. The Memphis, Tennessee, MC wants to uphold the integrity of the streets in hip-hop. He has talked about the responsibility on the shoulders of himself, Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane as three of the ‘hood’s ambassadors. “Keep getting it, I respect you and salute you, my n—a,” Gotti says on the record “Save Da Trap,” talking directly to Jeezy. “I knew you for this rap sh–/ We used to speak on trap sh–/ You represent the streets and you know I do the same/ From one gangsta to another, dawg, I hope you never change.” The last verse of the song addresses Gucci Mane. “I don’t really f— with rappers but you/ You like my brother,” Gotti says to Gucci. “We was in the spot/ We looked out for one another/ The first time I met, three songs in one night.” Gotti explained his musical letters to us. “I feel like it’s our job, between me and Jeezy and Gucci — I feel that’s who the streets look at as far as trap music,” Gotti explained. “So if it’s gonna be saved, we have to save it. That [song is] me telling myself and them, ‘Don’t do it.’ We gotta save the trap — the streets want us here. We still can do what we wanna do, make any kinda music we want to do — but we gotta keep representing the trap for the trap, ’cause that’s what’s made us.” Yo Gotti’s next album, Live From the Kitchen, comes out later this year. He recently filmed a video for “Women Lie, Men Lie” in Los Angeles. “It’s a mystery video,” Gotti said. “Women lie, men lie — it’s kind of a mystery video. You’ll see what’s going on and what’s not going on. I’m rapping about numbers. It’s self-explanatory, a lot of things I’m talking about — figures … what jewelry cost, what my deal is worth. It’s just different things where I come from in the streets — a lot of numbers.” For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines .
