Gil Kaufman and James Montgomery face off on what ‘Songs From This Decade’ the top seven should tackle. By Gil Kaufman and James Montgomery Jessica Sanchez Photo: FOX For weeks, it’s felt like we’ve been screaming into the void. We keep begging “American Idol” to get with the program and borrow a page from rivals like “The Voice” and “X Factor” by having the finalists sing songs that were released in the decades since Randy Jackson played bass for Carlos Santana. It’s a novel concept, we know. Seriously, enough with the Billy Joel and Michael Jackson theme nights! Not another collection of Elton John, disco or Frank Sinatra songs, please! Give us something contemporary, dudes — or at least something that may give our aunt in Virginia pause. Finally, “Idol” producers seem to have heard our pleas and given the top seven a shot at sounding halfway relevant this week with “Songs From This Decade” night. Now, the reality singing gods giveth and they taketh away, so while we’re in mortal fear of hearing Jason Mraz and Train songs, we’re also a bit torn about what is likely to turn into an Adele-valanche. Be careful what you wish for. But we’ll take it. So here’s what songs MTV News’ resident “Idol” experts think the remaining contestants should tackle. They failed to take our advice on last week’s ’80-themed show , and look how that one turned out … DeAndre . Read on for our picks! Joshua Ledet Josh smashed it last week and is once again at the top of his game. But here’s the thing: The guy remains an R&B tabula rasa, personality-wise. It’s hard to see him headlining an arena tour or filming an iconic video. Since we hear he’s way more confident off-camera than on, L-Deezy needs to get a little grimy, and what better way to do that than with Usher’s “OMG”? Or, if he must, I offer a one-time-only Adele dispensation for “Someone Like You.” — Kaufman I see him going one of two ways tonight: Either he embraces his brassy, sassy side and does Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” — which he’d kill,
George Zimmerman will face criminal charges in the death of Trayvon Martin. According to a senior law enforcement quoted by CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC and the Associated Press, the neighborhood watch captain in Sanford, Fla., will be charged criminally in the February 26 case that has captivated the nation. A legal analyst said earlier that the most likely charge would be manslaughter, but it was just announced that Zimmerman faces second-degree murder charges. A press conference announcing the decision took place at 6 p.m. Wednesday. Angela Corey, the special prosecutor appointed by Florida Gov. Rick Scott to look into the incident, stated earlier that she would not take the case to a grand jury . That automatically ruled out first-degree murder as an option, but the second-degree murder charge was still on the table – and ultimately what Corey decided. “I can tell you we absolutely did not come to this decision lightly,” Corey told reporters moments ago. “We do not prosecute by public pressure.” Zimmerman is in custody, Corey confirmed, though she gave no additional details. CNN reports that he surrendered to local officials earlier today. Lawyers for Zimmerman, 28, stepped down from the case Tuesday, saying he’d become uncommunicative and expressing concern for his emotional and physical well-being. “As of the last couple days, he has not returned phone calls, text messages or emails,” Craig Sonner, one of Zimmerman’s former attorneys, said.
Wait, WHAT?!?! George Zimmerman’s Attorney’s Withdraw From His Defense Attorneys for a Florida neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot an unarmed black teen have withdrawn as his counsel, saying they have lost contact with him. Attorney Craig Sonner said Tuesday in a news conference they haven’t heard from George Zimmerman since Sunday. They said that against their advice, Zimmerman contacted the special prosecutor who will decide if he should face charges. Zimmerman is at the center of an investigation over the shooting of Trayvon Martin, 17. Zimmerman says he shot Martin in self-defense after following him in a gated community in Sanford on Feb. 26. Martin, who was unarmed, was black. Zimmerman’s father is white and his mother is Hispanic. The lack of an arrest has inspired nationwide protests and some claims of racial profiling, which Zimmerman’s supporters deny. In the CNN press conference that is playing live right now, the lawyers claim that they have never actually met George Zimmerman in person, however they do still believe that he acted in self-defense. Sounds REALLY fishy…we’re willing to bet money that this guy offs himself and will never see the light of a courtroom. SMH! Source Stay tuned to Bossip as more details emerge!! UPDATE : Zimmerman’s attorney is still talkin’ greasy to the media as we speak and is totally convinced that Georgy is innocent. “It’s no so much that we are resigning. It’s that we cannot continue to represent him until he comes forward,” said attorney Craig Sonner. “He’s got to reach out to us,” added co-counsel Hal Uhrig “He’s not returning my message not returning my texts not returning my emails. He wont’ even give me a collect call,” Sonner said. Despite stepping away from Zimmerman as a client, both attorneys say they continue to believe he acted in self-defense. “We frankly believe the correct decision will be to not charge him,” Uhrig said. The attorneys say they know of Zimmerman’s location and have his personal phone number but have been unable to reach him directly for 48 hours. “George can’t go out and buy a Diet Coke. There’s a bounty on his head,” Uhrig said. “We’ve been able to handle the case by phone up this point,” Sonner said. “But there were face-t0-face meeting scheduled.” Both attorneys repeatedly refused to reveal Zimmerman’s location but insinuated that he is no longer in Florida. “You can stop looking in Florida. look much further away than that,” Uhrig said.

Dear Bossip , I have been in a relationship with my son’s father for 6 years. I love him very much and am thankful he is not deadbeat father. But, I cannot say he is great boyfriend. Terrance, this man asked me to marry him when our son was 6 months old, and of course I said yes. Six months later, I forgot my ring at home because I was running late for work, and I come home to, “I sold your ring, but I’ll get you a new one.” Mind you, he did it to pay the rent. But, I’m bitter as hell he did it without even telling me, and on top of that he hasn’t gotten me a new one, and we still haven’t gotten married. A year later, we sat down and agreed we shouldn’t get married because I was having second thoughts, due to me finding out he had been sexting some old ass woman he had met at a bar when he was out with his best friend, AND, because we really weren’t getting along. We worked through that, and we’re in a much better place right now. He says he wants to get married, and after a lot of miscommunication, partly because of my post-partum depression and his not understanding what I needed from him. But, I’m afraid he’s only telling me that to appease me. I don’t even know if I want to go through with it because he’s done so much shady stuff that I feel like even though we’re doing so much better. If he wanted to marry me, he should’ve gone through so much more to go ahead and get me another ring and set a date. My question is should I bring it up (even just thinking about it is embarrassing to me, almost like I’m being needy) or just let it ride out? Am I wrong for being mad as hell he took my ring and hasn’t replaced it? Is it wrong that every time I see a woman with a ring it makes me feel so got damn bitter? Because Lord knows I deserve a got damn ring, BOTH an engagement and a wedding band. Should I even stay with him? How do I know he ain’t playing me anymore?- Confused And In Love Dear Ms. Confused And In Love , Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead! The man took your engagement ring, without your knowledge, and sold it to pay the rent. Girl, I’m done! I can’t! Not today! LMBAO! As soon as he fixed his mouth to say, “I sold your ring…” WHOP! WHOP! WHOP! Upside his head with a damn hammer! Then you should have kicked him in his damn nuts. “The hell you mean you sold my damn engagement ring!!” WHOP! WHOP! WHOP! Then, this fool hasn’t replaced it in 6 YEARS!!??!!! And, you’re still sitting your hopeful-one-day-he’ll-get-me-a-replacement ass over there waiting!?! What color is your helmet? Chile, you are better than me! The next day he would have been up in Jacob The Jeweler ordering a rare precious stone that they can only find in Africa. And, once it was rushed ordered (yes, rush ordered), and he flew me to Paris to propose on top of the Eiffel Tower, I would have given him another WHOP! upside his damn head to remind him to never, ever, ever, ever play with me like that. I’m sorry, ma’am, but 6 years later and you’re still waiting on him to get you another ring? You’re the damn donkey. Why would he marry you now when you’re living as a married couple? You’re giving him everything without any repercussions or reason to want to get married to you. SMDH! I don’t understand you people. I really don’t. I swear something has retarded your damn brains. Then, you ask me if it’s wrong that you’re mad that he took your ring and hasn’t replaced it in 6 years. YES, YOU SHOULD BE MAD! RAGING MAD! STORMING MAD! VIOLENTLY MAD! He took the very ring that symbolizes his love and commitment to you and sold it. Basically, he took his proposal back, and said “F” you. You ain’t worth it. You ain’t nothing. And, you’ll sit your comfortable ass over there and wait until I get you another damn ring, when I get good and ready! As a matter of fact, you ain’t getting –ish! But, let me ask you this: You say that you deserve a damn ring. Really? You deserve a ring. Why? Why should he go out and get you another ring? Oh, is it because he sold the first one and he owes you? Is it because you have been waiting on him to make up for the past 6 years he has had you in limbo? Is it because you bore him a son, and you provide a loving home for him, with a warm cooked meal every day, and you clean up after him, and do all the “wifey” things, yet, you don’t have a ring on your finger? And, who’s fault is that? You’re both partly the blame. Your dumbass is at fault for sitting and waiting for 6 years to past without saying or doing anything about it. Your dumbass is at fault for letting him get away with that bull-ish the first time. Your dumbass is at fault for making it too damn easy for him, and playing house with him without a ring or commitment to marriage. Then, on top of it all, a year later YOUR MAN was caught sexting some other woman he met at a bar, and you didn’t boil some water with some grits? (Rocks back and forth in my chair and sits on my hands to prevent myself from reaching through this damn screen and slapping you in your damn face!) I ain’t one to speculate, but, err uhm, your man is not to be trusted, EVER! Based on him taking your ring and selling it without your knowledge, and then you catch him sexting another woman, uhm, ma’am, you need to get yourself together and move on, quickly. I wouldn’t wait another year, month, day, hour, minute, or second for him to get it together. And, what the hell are you talking about, “Should you ride it out?” Please, sweet Jesus, I can’t do it! A man doesn’t make the woman he loves and wants to be with for the rest of his life wait for 6 years to get married. A man doesn’t take his woman’s engagement ring, without her knowledge, or discussing it with her, and sells it. A man doesn’t promise his woman something, especially an engagement, with no engagement ring. A man doesn’t propose marriage, and put your ass on installment for 6 years, while he contemplates if he is going to ever marry you. And, sweetie, you shouldn’t sit and wait another 6 seconds for him. But, when he walks through that door this evening, and he still doesn’t have a ring, then you politely tell him that he has 6 minutes to grab whatever he can and get the hell out because his installment plan has just been revoked, and you don’t do layaways.

Trailer for singer’s 3-D flick touches on her divorce from Russell Brand and includes confessions about her career strife. By Jocelyn Vena Katy Perry in the “Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D” trailer Photo: Paramount In between dazzling shots of her onstage, in her music videos and getting dolled up in sparkling costumes, Katy Perry also addresses some real issues in her first full trailer for her 3-D concert film, “Part of Me,” set for release in July. While she doesn’t directly discuss her divorce from actor/comedian Russell Brand in the teaser, the split is referenced by a news headline as Perry is seen getting ready for one of her shows. And that’s not the only personal subject the colorful pop star will open up about in the film. Katy’s Religious Background Perry, now best known for her candy-coated, flirty persona, grew up in a strict, religious family. In the trailer, Perry talks about finding her voice while going to religious services with her family. She says, “The atmosphere I grew up in was 100 percent Christian. I started singing in church; I never really had another plan.” Perry Gets Dropped From her Label While it might seem that Perry went from virtual unknown to chart-topping pop sensation overnight, Perry and her friends open up about the trying time she had between being dropped from her label and eventually finding success. “I was going through some depressing, dark times,” she recalls, “but it’s a journey, and I learned so much from that journey. I feel like a stronger, better person because of it.” California Gurl Live Onstage While the film is about her life behind the scenes, a major part of the movie is her eye-catching California Dreams Tour, which went all around the world in 2011 and early 2012. “You have to be really be grateful and know that it’s a different set of people every single night,” she says of hitting the stage. “My goal when I’m playing shows is just to make people smile.” KP Lives out her California Dreams In the end, Perry’s message is always about living your dream, no matter what strife might come your way. She has this advice for her Katy Cats: “If you have a dream, you gotta go on a journey to fulfill that dream.” “Part of Me” opens July 5. The film was directed by Magical Elves’ Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz, who also served as producers on Justin Bieber’s highly successful “Never Say Never” concert movie. “Part of Me” is also the name of the lead single off Perry’s just-released Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection album.

Dear Bossip , First I want to say that I L-O-V-E all of your advice. And at this point, I could really use your brutal honesty. My friend is being dumb (although I know she isn’t, she is acting like an idiot). She keeps asking me for advice about her current love dilemma, but I want to make sure I give her the right advice. She and her husband are young, and her husband is a Marine currently deployed overseas. He visited his ex-boo before he deployed and wondered if there was anything still there, and decided to tell her. She decided right then and there to get a divorce, saying that she respected his honesty but didn’t know if she could trust him. Now here is where I feel conflicted: She met another man, and he is a looser in every sense of the word. And I’m not even exaggerating. He told my hubby that he was (at one point) addicted to prescription medication, and my hubby swears that he’s homeless. I made my hubby dinner when my friend brought him to our house and my man swears that the man looked like he was ready to tear into his bowl of chili! Plus, I think it’s a little too weird that he is suddenly facing deportation back to Denmark if he doesn’t get his citizenship together before the end of the year. Hmmm… Anyway, after talking with my hubby, I think that it would be a good idea for her to give some effort in trying to work out her marriage, as opposed to getting into a new relationship with someone she obviously does not know. Plus, she made the decision to divorce her hubby while he was deployed. I want to tell her to stay with her hubby, but then again, I want to just stay out of it. But it’s hard to do that when she keeps asking for my opinion. So, before I slap some sense into her, can you give me some advice that I can give to her that would follow up my reality smack? Thank you in advance for your time. – Conflicted Friend Dear Ms. Conflicted Friend , Honey, mind your business. Mind your business. Mind your business. I learned a long time ago to stay out of my friend’s relationships. Chile, they will come to you with all their problems, issues, and challenges concerning their relationship. How much they hate their mates, and they don’t know why they don’t treat them well. And, how come they bend over backwards to make it work, and yet their mates are running the streets, or treating them dirty. And, don’t let their mate curse them out and call them everything but a child of God. You are ready to fight their mate for them! They will have you so invested in “their” side of the story that you will be giving their mate the side-eye every time they come around. And, guess what happens after you console your friend, keep giving them advice time and time again, letting them know that you have their back, and you tell them that they should leave their mate? Them two fools are back together, in love, and working out their issues. Oh, yeah, and your friend will tell you that you don’t know their mate like they do. You don’t understand them. SMDH! So, my advice to you is stay out of her relationships. She will work it out, and she will learn her lessons. You’ve already given her some advice, and she hasn’t heeded. Therefore, she is not interested in your opinion or thoughts. If she wants to be a donkey, then let her be a donkey. Don’t you get in that pen with her. She’ll have you grazing and running around that field looking like a big ole’ jackass. Besides, she just wants someone to justify what she is doing. But, I’m sorry, and you should be too, but I don’t co-sign bull-ish. If you’re wrong and trifling, then I’m going to tell you that you’re wrong and trifling. I give my friends one time to vent about their mate. I listen, take in what they are saying, and I encourage them to work it out. Although I love my friends, I also know that they are giving me their side of the story. I am not with them and their mate 24-hours a day, or hanging out with them all the time. So, I don’t know what my friend’s could be doing to instigate something, or over-blowing a situation. And, I know my friends, so, therefore I listen very cautiously, and tread with ease. Because I know that every relationship has rough patches, and it’s not always easy being in a relationship. It takes lots of work. Lots of listening, lots of communicating, lots of understanding, and lots of patience. And, when folks get upset in relationships they run to their friends for consoling and advice, all while they are sharing their mate’s negatives. They may throw in some positives, but that one negative can be SO OVER THE TOP! And, then you become wrapped up in it and their relationship. Don’t do it! Don’t get involved! It will come back to bite you in the ass. Mind your business. Mind your business. Mind your business. When my friends don’t work it out, and they want to keep running back to me asking for my advice, I stop them in mid-sentence and let them know: “ I love you dearly, and I truly appreciate our friendship, and I hope you do as well. And, in order for us to remain friends I don’t want to hear about your relationship problems, challenges, and issues. I gave you some advice before and you didn’t listen or take into consideration what I had to say, so therefore, I am not going to waste my time or yours by repeating myself, or getting wrapped up in your drama. Y’all are some grown ass folks, and I am sure you can work out whatever it is. Now, unless your mate is going upside your head, or threatening you with violence, then I don’t want to hear it. But, I love you, though! Now, did you watch Basketball Wives last night? ” You see how easy that is? You see how you can control the situation, and not get caught up in someone else’s drama and mess? We all want to have pity parties, and want a house full of folks sipping on bottles of Pignot listening to Mary J. Blige and Keyshia Cole. But, after that first pity party, I am done! Chile, you’re not going to keep inviting me back and getting all sad and depressed, and falling out crying and –ish! No ma’am! So, let your friend do her, and you continue to do you! I know it’s hard watching people you love do crazy, ass backwards, and stupid –ish, especially when they know better, but sometimes you just got to let them fall and bump their big ass heads. It’s their lesson. It’s their journey, and it’s up to them to learn from their mistakes. You can’t keep bailing them out, and trying to rescue them every time they come running to you whining, and complaining. Especially, when it comes to relationships because you’ll become so invested and wrapped up in their drama and bull-ish that you’ll take that mess home, or neglect your own relationship. Then, when they get back together with their mate, you’ll be going through things with your mate and your friend won’t be nowhere to be found. MIND YOUR BUSINESS. MIND YOUR BUSINESS. MIND YOUR BUSINESS. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

‘I’ll be honest, I felt there was a lot of contradiction,’ Van Pelt tells MTV News after her elimination. By James Montgomery, with reporting by Kelly Marino Erika Van Pelt Photo: MTV News To just about anyone who tuned in to this week’s “American Idol,” Erika Van Pelt’s exit was a shocker, to say the very least, especially since her performance of “New York State of Mind” was one of the highlights. But also because, you know, Heejun Han is still on the show . Rather than using her three minutes to goof off, Van Pelt genuinely seemed determine to put her best foot forward on Wednesday night, whether it was listening to “Idol” judges’ previous advice to minimize her onstage movements or taking designer Tommy Hilfiger’s hairstyling tips to heart. Oh, and then she delivered a sultry, soulful version of the Joel classic, all of which seemed to guarantee she’d be safe … for at least another week. But, as it turns out, that wasn’t the case, and on Thursday night’s results show , it was Van Pelt who was sent packing. And immediately after her ouster, let’s just say Van Pelt was still trying to figure out what went wrong — though she’s got a pretty good idea of where to start. “I felt confused every week, I’ll be honest,” she told MTV News. “I felt there was a lot of contradiction, and as an artist and someone who takes their singing very seriously, it’s hard for me to take critique of my work, period, and then when you feel like you sorta have people telling you one thing and then telling you something completely different the week after, it’s hard. “Because constructive criticism to me is something I can go home, work on, fix and come back and say, ‘Here, I fixed it.’ I feel what happened to me in this competition was I would take all the advice, I’d work on things, I’d bring something different to the table, and they’d tell me the complete opposite. It’s been really hard for me, I can admit that.” And to that end, when asked which judge or mentor actually provided her with the best guidance, Van Pelt took a diplomatic pause and then answered rather truthfully: none of them. “This might sound really weird, but I feel like my fellow contestants taught me the most,” she said. “We have this inner-working where we all help each other, we all offer up our advice … it’s all about throwing these ideas out and never telling someone what they should do; it’s about giving them suggestions.” Of course, she did add that, ultimately, her “Idol” exit was of her own doing. “I will never blame anyone for misleading me in any way, shape or form; I’m a grown woman,” she said. And she’s grateful for all the opportunities the show has provided for her, chief among them being that, for a while at least, she doesn’t have to go back to her day job as a wedding DJ. “I don’t think I’ll be doing any DJ’ing for a while,” she laughed. “To be totally honest, I need to sleep!” Get your “Idol” fix on MTV News’ “American Idol” page , where you’ll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.
The day that some women have been waiting for has finally arrived! The teenage superstar celebrates a milestone birthday March 1 when he turns 18 years old — making him legally allowed to do such things as vote and get a tattoo, though that hasn’t stopped him from getting some ink before. Let’s take a look back at 2011, which was a was a whirlwind year for the pop star, both professionally and personally. The biopic about his rise to fame, “Never Say Never” was released in February 2011 and was a box office boom, and his “My World” tour had fans screaming around the world to get a glimpse of their idol up on the big stage. While Bieber is preparing for a new album to drop this spring, he didn’t leave his fans empty-handed this Christmas, and released a holiday album, “Under the Mistletoe,” as a special treat. Bieber certainly grew up over the past year. He and girlfriend Selena Gomez made their red carpet debut at Vanity Fair’s 2011 post-Oscars bash, and the two piled on the PDA while on vacation together in Hawaii and have been spotted on dates all over the world together. While things seem to be going well on the relationship front, Bieber got his first taste of some adult drama last fall, when Mariah Yeater claimed that the teen singer had sex with her backstage at one of his concerts and was the father of her baby. DNA tests were submitted, and the matter quietly went away after some serious legal threats from Bieber’s camp. Keep it 100, have any of you caught Bieber fever and fantasized about bedding the young Canadian heartthrob? Despite all the thirsty hoes that wanna get a piece of Justin’s “Bieber” he still loves his bish. Image via WENN Source More On Bossip!

Awwwww, look at Mommy BeyBey doing real mommy things: Count Beyonce Knowles among the millions of mothers worldwide who are proud to breastfeed their children out in the open. Escorted by husband Jay-Z, the “Girls (Run the World)” singer, 30, took along daughter Blue Ivy, seven weeks, for a casual lunch at Sant Ambroeus in NYC’s West Village last Saturday. And Beyonce nursed her little girl at her the table, an observer tells Us Weekly. Two additional sources confirm to Us that the first-time mom has been breastfeeding her daughter. Beyonce was snapped leaving the eatery holding her newborn in a blue BabyBjorn — covered fashionably with a black Donni Charm scarf. Mother and child emerged the very next day; this time, Beyonce held Blue in an exotic leopard-print wrap by Baby Bjorn. We wonder for all you stans who complain about women breastfeeding their babies in public have anything to say when Beyonce does it. SMH.

Bernie Mac gets his just due. A sign bearing the name of the late comedian Bernie Mac has been raised over a street in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood. About 200 people, including his widow Rhoda McCullough, daughter Je’Niece McCullough and the Rev. Jesse Jackson, gathered Tuesday on a corner near the home where he grew up. Je’Niece McCullough says she hopes renaming the street Bernie Mac Street reminds people “they can do whatever they want to do in life.” Mac, born Bernard McCullough, died in August 2008 at age 50 from pneumonia complications, after suffering from sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disease. To celebrate, we’re all going to the kitchen and grab some milk and coooookies. R.I.P. to the great. Pic via WENN More On Bossip!
