Kara DioGuardi Predicts Male American Idol Winner

American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi predicted a male winner and discussed other elements of the show, such as Simon’s close talking, with Jay Leno last night. Asked about the current season, she admitted a soft spot for Michael Lynche, a.k.a. Big Mike, who moved her to tears with last week’s performance: “I love him,” she said. Kara blamed her Italian heritage for getting so emotional, but couldn’t hide her affinity for Lynche, as well as her theory (or so it appeared) that a male will win this season. She also suggested that Simon Cowell might be suffering from separation anxiety from Mezghan Hussainy lately, as he’s been leaning in close to her a lot on the show. When Leno brought up her “ bikini moment ” (complete with picture), the phrasing of Kara’s response seemed to betray the influence of sitting near Simon every week: “It showed I could kinda take the piss out of myself,” she said. Alright then. Kara on Leno Who do you think will win American Idol this season? In other Kara news, her father, Joe, is running as a Republican for U.S. Senate in New York State!

Angelina Jolie is Still Awesome

Angelina Jolie cannot help herself. This is just what she does. Being a famous actress and raising a half dozen kids isn’t enough. She spends remarkable amounts of time and money trying to make the world a better place. Today’s example of her good deeds? The UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador started up a school for refugee returnees, mostly from Pakistan, in Tangi, Afghanistan. Having visited there in 2008, Angelina Holie learned from the displaced people about their concerns about a lack of educational facilities in the war-torn area. So, according to the UNHCR website, the star donated over $75,000 to get an all-girls school up and running. The building will be inaugurated on Thursday. As she exhibited recently in Haiti, Angelina Jolie is awesome . Angelina Jolie is a true ambassador of our nation, and humanity . Classes start next week at the school, which boasts eight classrooms, four administrative buildings, a well and eight latrines, and can accommodate up to 800 students. The UNHCR is working with UNICEF to recruit teachers and books. Plans are also under way to offer secondary education, as only two Tangi girls are currently enrolled. We’re guessing that if asked, or even if not, we know someone who might volunteer her resources, financial or otherwise. Talk about using your celebrity admirably.

Brad And Angelina Take A Tour With The Twins

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie get some quality time in Venice with their twins Vivienne and Knox . We spotted the party of four boarding their limo boat before lunching at the Gritti Palace Hotel. The Jolie-Pitts are living there while mama Ang is filming her new movie The Tourist and have been doing lots of sight-seeing during their stay. But today, it was all about the babies.

Report: Gosselin Kids "Depressed" By Kate’s Dancing with the Stars Appearance

Kate Gosselin has officially gone Hollywood. Eight kids in Wernersville, Pa., don’t like that one bit. Why can’t a mom have fun, Kate Gosselin asks in People magazine. Um, because you have eight freaking kids. Not even three months after Kate and Jon Gosselin’s divorce was finalized, their 9-year-old twins and 5-year-old sextuplets are struggling with even more upheaval. Despite the makeshift studio they installed in her house, Dancing with the Stars still requires that Kate, its new cast member, be in L.A. at least three days a week. The children are taking it hard. Minded by five nannies in her absence, the “depressed” kids “were asking, ‘When is Mommy coming home?'” an insider reported. In fact, as she trained and promoted her Dancing with the Stars stint (debuting March 22), Kate spent February 21-March 5 away from the kids. Two days a week? Hardly. Twins Cara and Maddy ” seem depressed when Kate isn’t around,” another source says. Five-year old sons Aaden, Collin and Joel, meanwhile, “got into trouble at school.” It’s a disturbing pattern, but their mom, who “wants to be a huge star,” justifies her “work” with a surprising comparison – that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie make it work! “She frequently says Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have lots of kids and their parents are away for long periods, working to support them,” a Gosselin family insider said. Don’t the kids usually go with Brangelina, though? Just wondering. And where’s Jon Gosselin? Morgan Christie can’t part with his two-inch package a few times a week?

Jennifer Aniston, Gerard Butler Heat Up W

Maybe they’re just friends , maybe they’re not. But Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler definitely got down, dirty and downright smoldering for the W Magazine cover! How dirty? Literally pretty dirty. Jennifer’s stylist, Chris McMillan, was instructed by famed photographer Steven Klein, not to wash her hair. The result? Raw sexiness. “At the end of the first day, Steven came up to me and goes, ‘Could you please ask her if she could not wash her hair and just show up tomorrow?'” McMillan recalls. The Bounty Hunter actress was all too happy to oblige – and just look at the results. If Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler were any hotter, well, they’d be Brangelina. Ironically, Jen and Gerry’s cover shoot was done by Klein, who shot Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie , ’60s family style, for the mag back in 2005. Begging the question … Which W Magazine cover couple is hotter?

Katie Holmes: Held Against Her Will!

It’s been awhile, but Star, In Touch, OK! and their ilk decided to give Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie the week off as the subject of myriad ridiculous tabloid covers . Taking Brangelina’s place in the first of the aforementioned celebrity gossip rags? A rare TomKat sighting! It’s like some editor just remembered that they exist! We haven’t seen a good story about Katie Holmes being trapped in Tom Cruise’s evil clutches in forever (well, December), but this one makes up for lost time! In addition to insinuating that Tom got her pregnant with baby #2 (which he is supposedly willing to give her $75 million for), Star suggests that Katie Holmes: Is getting “prenatal Scientology lessons (whatever that consists of) Is going through “agonizing” detox (of what, who the frick knows) Is having her “leash tightened” (yes, they just likened her to a dog) PRISON WITHOUT BARS : For Katie Holmes, there is no escape . For someone supposedly under intense mind control and chained in Tom Cruise’s torture dungeon, Katie seems awfully content, albeit a little frumpy lately. Katie and Tom have been together since 2005. Suri Cruise is thriving and cute. Everyone seems okay. Could it be that TomKat isn’t that abnormal after all? That, or the perks of being married to Tom must be really good.
