Koming Soon: The Kim Kollection

For once, Kim Kardashian is asking fans to focus on a body part other than her cleavage. The talentless reality star has partnered with Loren Jewels creator Loren Ridinger on a luxury line of earrings called the “Kim Kollection.” Did you really expect it to be named anything else? This 20-piece set will incorporate diamonds, emeralds, rubies and other precious stones and be available for purchase on September 1, just in time for Kim and her family to pimp it out on the season premiere of their show. “Kim’s a fashion icon and millions of people are inspired by her style making. Our collaboration on the ‘Kim Kollection’ is a natural fit,” said Ridinger, failing to see the irony in referring to anything involving Kim as “natural.” Modeling an example of her jewelry line above, Kim is wearing 24 karat gold earrings. It’s unknown how much these will cost, but know this before you start counting your allowance money: The least expensive item in the Kollection will be sold for $10,000. What do you think? Are these worth saving for?

Happy Birthday, Crystal Bowersox!

While America may largely be celebrating the birthday of the man that came in first in 2008, let’s take a moment and also acknowledge the woman that came in second in 2010. She may not be the leader of the free world, but Crystal Bowersox still made millions of fans through her run on American Idol last season. Bowersox turns 25 today and she has a lot to be thankful for. The singer signed a record deal in June and got her teeth fixed soon after. Look for a debut album to be released later this year. In the meantime, enjoy the Crystal photo montage below and send in your birthday wishes to Bowersox right now…

American Idol Gets Crystal-ized

Need a few examples that illustrate how far American Idol has fallen on season nine? Fox now airs commercials for the remaining episodes that don’t even focus on the contestants. Instead, they hype this as Simon’s final season. On last night’s movie-themed edition, Casey James resorted to a rendition of “Mrs. Robinson” from The Graduate , in order to revive jokes about Kara’s crush on him and distract from his lack of actual, finals-worthy ability. Kara critiqued Lee’s “Kiss From a Rose” with these vapid words: “It’s one of most difficult songs to sing. But you can’t take away from the fact that you are still great.” Really? This is the final four. Isn’t he supposed to be able to sing difficult songs at this point? Former finalist Blake Lewis, blogging for USA Today , wrote: “The show is getting close to over and I am waiting for someone to have an amazing performance, but this year has been pretty boring, I must say. Hopefully someone will prove me wrong.” Amen, Blake. We’ve ranked last night’s performances below, simply because we have to: Crystal Bowersox : Ellen said the evening got “Crystal-ized” with this rendition of “I’m Alright.” Sadly, that pun was the highlight of the entire episode. Lee DeWyze : We summed him up above. The judges agreed his performance wasn’t anything special, but basically admitted: Eh, you’re better than Michael and Casey. Michael Lynche: Went with Michael Jackson’s “Will You Be There” and did his usual connecting with the audience. At some point, though, viewers will have to realize that Big Mike’s singing voice is nothing special. Casey James: The whole “Mrs. Robinson” thing was forced and lame. It’s his time to go home. WHO WAS YOUR FAVORITE PERFORMER?
