American Idol Finale: Whatever, Let’s Choose the Real Idol

Well, Lee DeWyze won American Idol ‘s ninth season. There he is crying for us all, and it’s not enough. I’m doing my modified Nancy Kerrigan-in-intense-pain impersonation, personally. “De Whyyyyyyyyyy ze! De Whhhhhhyyyy ze!” I caw. Ugh. That conclusion was a billy club to the knee. You could say the show’s ninth season was its worst yet ( I know I did. ), but a Crystal Bowersox win would’ve rectified some of the angst. Instead, Idol served a lukewarm DeWyze victory at the end of what was an otherwise tremendous finale, and now the whole 120 minutes reeks of an abandoned paint store. I said it. Fear not: There’s plenty of good for all of us to discuss from last night’s celebration — namely a ranking of the evening’s top 10 performances. By the time we’re done, we’ll make our decision about Idol ‘s real winner. Haterade on tap!

Each of the defendants made a statement to the court. They said they did not intend to commit a crime They also apologized for the inconvenience they caused security workers at the federal building. O'Keefe said “I take full responsibility for our decision to visit Sen. Landrieu's office.” Referring to their decision to pose as telephone workers in order to investigate complaints that office staff members allegedly ignored constituents' phone calls, he said “I should have used other means.” The judge repeatedly told the defendants that, as journalists, they needed to learn “where to draw a line” in their investigative methods. added by: Stoneyroad

Megan Fox: It Was My Decision to Not Be in ‘Transformers 3’

HOLLYWOOD,

Li-lo Is A No-Show

At least one Lohan turned up in court this morning…unfortunately just not the one the judge was requesting. We were there at the LA court house, as was Michael Lohan but his daughter Lindsay, who’d been ordered to show for a probation progress report hearing, was not. She’s stuck in Cannes, France, claiming her passport was stolen and she has no way home until it’s replaced. Judge Marsha Revel though didn’t seem impressed, issuing a bench warrant for Li-lo’s arrest and setting bail at $100,000. Lindsay can stay free until the next court hearing as long as she does not drink any alcohol, wears a SCRAM bracelet and submits to random drugs testing once a week. Dad Michael spoke afterwards via his lawyer saying he agreed with the decision.

American Idol Eliminates Casey James, Sets Up Lee/Crystal Showdown

American Idol viewers made the right, obvious choice last night, sending Casey James home. The long-haired singer has come a long way since being depicted as nothing but eye candy for Kara DioGuardi, but he was clearly the worst performer on Tuesday and reacted to his elimination with humility. “I can’t believe it, man,” he said after Ryan Seacrest delivered the bad news. “I’m so thankful for the opportunity. It’s been an amazing journey and I’m just so honored that I’m here.” We’re now left with Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox, not the most exciting final pairing, but one that should keep fans guessing about who will win next week. Bowersox has been considered the favorite for months, but Lee has come on on strong recently, earning as much praise as any contestant all season for his rendition of “Hallelujah” on Tuesday night. We’ll publish a more detailed finale preview in the coming days, but sound off now: Who do you want to win? As usual, the results show also featured a pair of professional performances, which may explain why your ears are ringing this morning. The screams emanating in the arena from Justin Bieber fans can still be heard in many homes. Also, new artist Travis Garland took to the stage. What did you think of his national debut? Check out photos of Garland, Bieber and the Idols below:

Megan Fox: Out of Transformers 3

Megan Fox will not play a role in Transformers 3 . In related news, THG will no longer be seeing Transformers 3 . Following reports that the movie studio and director Michael Bay planned to cast another actress as Shia LaBeouf’s love interest in the film, Fox’s rep quickly released a statement and said departing the franchise was his client’s choice. “Megan Fox will not be starring in Transformers 3 ,” the rep said. “It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best.” Will you miss Megan Fox in Transformers? Fox and Bay do have a contentious history: the actress compared the director to Hitler last year. Seriously . The third movie in the Transformers franchise is scheduled for a July 2011 release. If Fox wants to be taken seriously as an actress, it’s not a bad idea to focus her career on more serious fare anyway. Or just go the opposite direction and star in soft core porn. We’d advise the latter. The actress will next be seen in Jonah Hex , an action flick that also features Josh Brolin, John Malkovich and Will Arnett. The photo above is courtesy of the movie. Call us crazy, but we think it will do well.

Elin Woods: Fighting For the Kids!

After enduring months of the Tiger Woods sex scandal, Elin Nordegren is desperate to leave the sordid mess – and she’s battling to help her kids escape it as well. She wants to leave and raise her children, Sam, 2, and Charlie, 15 months, in her homeland of Sweden, and wants her divorce from Tiger Woods to permit that. “Elin is working around the clock to cut a custody deal that will allow her to permanently move herself and the kids to Sweden,” a friend of Elin Woods reports. According to sources, Tiger knows he can’t fight her decision to move home to Sweden , but retained high-power international custody lawyer Thomas Sasser. That’s more to make sure he gets visitation and doesn’t lose access to the kids when she gets there than to stop her from proceeding with her move, though. Will Elin Woods divorce Tiger and relocate with the cubs? “Elin is fighting for sole custody ,” says one insider. “Tiger is having none of it,” says another. Sources close to Elin Woods say she just wants to shield her children from the scandal, not punish Tiger Woods, even after everything he did to hurt them all. “Elin would never, ever stop him from seeing them” the friend says. “Her only focus is the children. They have always been her primary concern in all of this.” All indications are that there is little to no hope of reconciliation at this point, and the only question surrounding the couple’s divorce is who will file first .
