Erika Van Pelt on American Idol Elimination: Totally Shafted!

The day after Erika Van Pelt was eliminated from American Idol , she was relatively calm, expressing excitement over this summer’s tour and saying she expected to be in the bottom three. But the first member of the top 10 to be sent packing took a few days to ponder the results of last Thursday and took a different yesterday in an interview with People . Erika Van Pelt – “What About Love” “I definitely felt a little shafted by their decision not to save me,” Van Pelt admitted , referring to the judges’ veto power. “It’s one of those things that, in hindsight, I’m looking at it like they didn’t want to use their save this early.” A year ago, Steven, Randy and J. Lo saved Casey Abrams at the same point in the competition, leaving them helpless weeks later when Pia Toscano was shockingly sent home . Van Pelt believes those results impacted this season’s thinking. “I was not expecting to be the first of the top 10 to go home – certainly. I’m not sure they were expecting it either. But I feel like even if they felt like I didn’t deserve to go home, they just didn’t want to waste that save in case America decided to do something really crazy.” Look back to last week and vote below: did Erika deserve to be eliminated?

Rihanna Smacks Down Reporter Over Ill-Timed Ashton Kutcher Question

Rihanna politely put a reporter in her place after being asked a question about her alleged recent dalliance with Ashton Kutcher at a press conference in London this week. In the UK promoting her new film Battleship , Rihanna was asked by a ballsy member of the press if the Two and a Half Men star would be visiting her there. Her response? Far from rude, but even farther from happy: Rihanna Smacks Down Reporter “Wow … how disappointing was that question,” the 24-year-old singer replied, adding pointedly, “I’m happy and I’m single, if that’s what you’re really asking.” Demi Moore is glad she cleared that up. The rest of us are just scratching our heads at how that even came up at a big-time press event for Battleship . Rihanna and Ashton Kutcher allegedly hooked up earlier this month, though there is no proof of this other than a report that she visited his pad late night. There were no photos and TMZ even took down the story, making it even wilder that someone had the nerve to ask a made-for celebrity gossip question.

Jesse James Denies Sex Tape Report, Little Else

Jesse James has finally found something he and Sandra Bullock can agree on – and a piece of gossip pertaining to him that he can actually deny. There is no Jesse James sex tape or tapes. Period. Bullock denied it earlier this week after Internet reports surfaced that her cheating husband had starred in at least a dozen homemade sex tapes. And Nazi videos, which would be more credible. James has now shot down the story too, claiming he has never been in any sex tapes with any other women, with or without Nazi-themed attire. Jesse James may be a serial cheater, but at least he didn’t film any of it while he was wearing that Nazi hat. That must make Sandra feel so much better, right? “The claims of sex tapes are untrue and completely fabricated,” says a rep for James. Well, thanks for clearing that up, Mr. Upstanding Citizen. No denials of his cheating have been issued, it’s worth mentioning, only a vague, Tiger-esque apology for hurting his family via unnamed acts. Michelle “Bombshell” McGee , Melissa Smith and Brigitte Daguerre have all been linked to Jesse James, as has a fourth, anonymous mistress. Bullock has yet to separate from James, although you would have to think it’s just a matter of time. What do you think Sandra should do?
