Jennifer Lopez may be best known for her fabulous rear ass-ets, but last night she gave German boob tube viewers a reason to look front and center when she slipped a nip on, uh, das tv (ok, so Skin Central doesn’t speak German).

‘Idol’ alum says she’s ‘way more myself’ on new songwriting reality competition. By Jim Cantiello Kara DioGuardi on “Platinum Hits” Photo: Bravo TV Kara DioGuardi is well aware of what you think about her, thank you very much. The former “American Idol” judge — who was already a major name in the songwriting community before she sat next to Simon, Randy, Paula and Ellen — can’t go a day without viewers approaching her to speak their mind. “People actually apologize to me,” the good-natured DioGuardi told MTV News on Wednesday morning (June 15). “They’ll go, ‘I didn’t even know you were in the music business. We thought you were some random girl they pulled off of Hollywood Boulevard that looked like Paula Abdul.’ ” Kara’s the first to acknowledge that she and live TV went together like chocolate and an onion, to paraphrase an infamous Cowell barb. Even worse, “It may have sent the message ‘Is she still writing? Does she have time to write?’ ” DioGuardi said before setting the record straight. “I was writing [new music] before [‘Idol’] shows. I co-wrote [Cobra Starship’s] ‘Good Girls Go Bad’ before a show, like two hours before! I was like, ‘We gotta bang this out. I got hair and makeup,’ ” DioGuardi recalled. “Don’t give your day job up. Always gotta keep the day job.” With Bravo’s “Platinum Hit,” a slick new songwriting reality competition that DioGuardi judges alongside host Jewel and celeb guests, Kara finally found a way to turn her day job into her TV job. Bonus: She can have a second take in the event of an “Idol”-esque gaffe, like calling Studio 54 “Studio 57” or forgetting how to count. “I’m way more myself,” DioGuardi said. “After nine hours of filming, you start to forget that you’re on a TV show, and then the New York part of me really comes out. I say, ‘Look, man. … Listen, bitch!’ ” she joked. Instead of banging on tables, calling contestants “sweetie” and raving about “artistry” the way she did on “Idol,” DioGuardi’s taking a different approach with her songwriting prot

Singer overcame vocal problems Tuesday night for a great performance of Carrie Underwood’s ‘Flat on the Floor,’ but our money’s on Scotty McCreery. By Eric Ditzian Lauren Alaina performs on “American Idol” on Tuesday Photo: FOX Contrary to our earlier predictions, “American Idol” on Tuesday night was indeed packed with surprises — just none that had anything to do with Scotty McCreery’s and Lauren Alaina’s performances . The two finalists, as expected, kept the penultimate “Idol” a strictly country affair. Instead, the shocking twists and turns took place before and between the singers’ onstage appearances (though, sadly, not even these oddities could turn the show into a particularly compelling viewing experience). Ryan Seacrest hit pause on the proceedings just minutes after they began, telling the audience (as had been widely reported online) that Lauren had severely strained her vocal chords but wouldn’t bow out of the competition. “I’m here. I’m ready to sing,” she said, attempting to maintain her composure. “And I’m fine — don’t worry about me.” So much for the possibility of Haley Reinhart rising up from the heap of “Idol” castoffs to challenge Scotty for the win. No sooner had the 17-year-old country boy finished his first performance than Seacrest rushed through the voting numbers and tossed to commercial. What, Randy Jackson doesn’t get to weigh in with a yo-dog this and for-me-for-you that? Steven Tyler doesn’t get to see how times he can say “beautiful” in a 15-second sound bite? As our MTV News colleague Jim Cantiello put it, “I guess ‘Idol’ producers finally realized what viewers have been saying for months: These judges are useless. Randy, Steven and Jennifer Lopez, in fact, wouldn’t get a chance to offer up their opinions until after the second set of performances, by which time one thing was clear: If you aren’t a country fan, this show was a super-boring affair. But a hoedown is what voters wanted in this “Idol” finale, and who are we to argue? Our job, instead, is to line ’em all up and lay down some grades. It’s time for our final “American Idol” report card of the year! Excellent Lauren Alaina : “Flat on the Floor” by Carrie Underwood Early in May, Lauren’s take on this track stood as a sort of comeback moment for the teen: After weeks of tentative performances in which the carefree and confident Lauren we knew seemed to disappear under the sweat-inducing reality-show spotlight, the singer stormed back. We had to stop ourselves from aping Randy and declaring, “She’s back, baby!” On Tuesday, she took that performance up a notch, not in spite of but perhaps because of her injured instrument. There was a welcome raspy quality to her vocals, and she overcame some initial nervousness to really let loose. Good Scotty McCreery : “Gone” by Montgomery Gentry When Scotty performed this tune a few weeks ago, we marveled at the kid’s swagger: He skipped around the stage, busted out a little call-and-response with the backup singers, and generally seemed to have reached a new level in his onstage persona . This time around, both by comparison and on its own, the performance was a bit of a letdown. Sure it had all sorts of energy, but Scotty mumbled his way through the early lines and didn’t soar to the kinetic heights he had before. It was a perfectly good performance, but it was by no means great. Scotty McCreery : “Check Yes or No” by George Strait Back in April when Scotty took on a Strait song , he let his vocals stretch further than at any point in the season. Yet he still stayed within his country comfort zone. It was a winning combination. “Check Yes or No” was another winner, though his vocals didn’t necessarily have the power to compete with all that instrumentation. Still, Scotty held his guitar like Elvis, wagged his eyebrows like a patient undergoing electroshock therapy and somehow came out looking like a future country superstar. With Scotty standing up there in a row with the band, the stage presented something of an “Idol” hero shot. Lauren Alaina : “Maybe It Was Memphis” by Pam Tillis We know Carrie Underwood’s heart was in the right place when she selected this song for Lauren. At least in genre, it truly is a great fit for the teenager. But mangled voice or not, Lauren doesn’t possess the vocal delicateness the song requires. Making up for the lack of artistic grace, however, was the grittiness with which her ailment had gifted her. Satisfactory Lauren Alaina : “Like My Mother Does” Call it a brilliant production move or contrived even for “Idol,” but Lauren’s ode to mothers was about as savvy a song choice as any contestant could ask for during a finale. There was a lovely little chorus, and who except the hard of heart can complain about the unvarnished, emotional hug she shared with her mom during the performance? Here’s the thing: By this point, Lauren’s voice really was struggling, the rasp giving way to a warble. Nonetheless, the judges fawned over her, with J. Lo declaring that the song might have won her the competition. Let’s not go overboard, but let’s also be clear: Anything can happen on Wednesday’s (May 25) elimination show. Unsatisfactory Scotty McCreery : “I Love You This Big” Maybe it was the video playing overhead, maybe it was the zombies waving their hands in the front rows, but this tune was undeniably, inescapably cheesy. When the song finally busted open, Scotty’s notes were flat, never soaring to the heights to which the song clearly aspired. Yet we have to give credit where it’s due. Scotty possesses the icy confidence you want in an ace pitcher: someone who can shut out the pressure, step on the mound and hurl some effing heat; and when a pitcher doesn’t have his best stuff on any given day, you need him to find ways to win. If you ask us, that’s what Scotty did on Tuesday. He didn’t have his best stuff, but his confidence in his gifts carried him through. Again, anything can happen, but we’ll call it now: Scotty McCreery for the win!

Anthony Mandler discusses working with the superstar singer, with whom he’s collaborated more than a dozen times. By Jocelyn Vena Rihanna Photo: Getty Images Rihanna showed off her pale-hued softer side in her “California King Bed” video . A sweeping, romantic look at the demise of a relationship is perfectly encapsulated in the Anthony Mandler-directed clip. Rihanna and Mandler are certainly not strangers when it comes to collaborating, having made more than a dozen clips together, ranging from the fun “Only Girl (In the World)” to the dark “Russian Roulette.” When MTV News recently spoke to Mandler, he noted that he and Ri brought out a whole new side to the always-changing singer. “I think it’s something that is so unique about Rihanna whatever she’s doing, whatever character she’s playing, whatever side of herself she’s showing, she’s in it 1,000 percent,” he explained. “They’re all twists and variations on herself, and in each of them, the way she pushes the visual and the way she pushes the styling and the look of it, she really kind of gives them another twist on Rihanna. “And I think the song and the theme of this song, she wanted to obviously show a softer side, a lighter side, one that’s caught in maybe a tumultuous relationship,” he continued. “But not let the tumultuous relationship dominate the visual, really counterbalance it with tension-filled chaotic beauty.” Instead of finding a scenic location on which to shoot the video, they built their own set in order to have control over the elements of the video. Rihanna gave Mandler a “basic foundation,” and from there, he put his magic on what he describes as a “really pure beauty video with a story line underneath.” Having shot both a softer-edge Rihanna and a harder-edged one, Mandler weighed in on which he prefers. “There’s so much variety with her and it’s been such a journey with her,” he said. “It’s hard to say which one I enjoy more than the other. I just enjoy working with her, so whatever that means. … There are gray shades that are brilliant that I’m constantly discovering.” Related Artists Rihanna

Country hitmaker will donate ticket sales from May 21 Speak Now Tour dress rehearsal in Nashville to tornado relief. By Mawuse Ziegbe Taylor Swift Photo: Jason Merritt/ Getty Images Taylor Swift will give fans an early taste of her upcoming Speak Now Tour for a very good cause. The country darling announced on Friday (May 6) that she will allow fans to buy tickets to the final dress rehearsal of her tour to benefit communities devastated by tornadoes in the South in late April. According to the Associated Press, Swift has been preparing for her upcoming trek over the past five weeks at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, which will be the site of the “Speak Now … Help Now” benefit. Although the chart-topper is used to speaking frankly about her personal life in her music, Swift has never invited fans to check out how she gears up for her live shows. The songstress explained that witnessing the havoc-wreaking storms while putting the Speak Now Tour together inspired her to switch things up and take action. “I was watching the coverage of the tornadoes backstage at rehearsals, and I wanted to do something for the families affected by the damage,” Swift told the AP. “I’ve never opened a rehearsal to the public before, but I felt that inviting my fans to the last rehearsal for the Speak Now Tour would be a great way to raise money.” The songbird added that the benefit will be different from her other live appearances, as she is still hammering out the kinks of the production. “We will probably still be doing some fine-tuning to the show that night, since this will be a true rehearsal, but I feel like it is so important for me and my fans to help if we can,” she said. Swift’s Speak Now Tour is slated to kick off May 27 in Omaha, Nebraska, but before she hits the road, the Grammy-winning superstar is set to unveil her latest video, “Mean,” on Friday night (May 6) on CMT and CMT.com at 10 p.m. ET.
