New American Idol Promos: Steven and J-Lo Give Caring a Shot

I’ve been dreading (and sort of anticipating) this moment for fortnights, but here we are: The first promos for American Idol ‘s 10th season with Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez are out. How sincere is Steven’s glance? How earnest are Jennifer’s head nods? How frightening is Randy’s new facial hair? Join us for the scares.

Jennifer Lopez Has Still Got It

When I say that Jennifer Lopez has still got it, I hope you understand that I’m talking about her fat ass and sweet boobs and not anything that has to do with acting or singing or dancing or anything like that. So we’re all on the same page? Good because here she is taking her talents to the Boys & Girls Club of America the other day. Is it really appropriate to expose children to curves like this at such a young age? Now those poor skinny girls are going to have a hard time in high school. Don’t worry, it gets better once you marry a rich old dude.

Who Does Barbara Walters Find Fascinating?

As she does at the conclusion of every year, Barbara Walters has compiled a list of the world’s Most Fascinating People. Really just a rundown of those who have been in the news (seriously, we all love Betty White, but does a single reader find her “fascinating?”), the following celebrities made the cut: Sandra Bullock

Kardashian Konfidential Konfessions: Khloe’s Virginity, Kim’s Krush and More!

Kritics of Kardashian Konfidential have understandably wondered: What could Kourtney, Khloe and Kim possibly reveal in this “sisterhood autobiography?” The siblings blog about every aspect of their lives and let cameras film such intimate moments as a bikini wax . But we’ve (unfortunately) read the book and can state that it actually does contain a few juicy tidbits. Why should the public care about when Khloe lost her virginity? We have no idea. Still, it’s one of several items we learned from the tome and report on below. 1. Khloe gave it up to an older man when she was 14. She used to steal Bruce Jenner’s car and drive to secret sex sessions with this boyfriend, but tells readers NOT to be like her: “You should never, ever have sex when you’re that young,” her ghost writer she writes. “Feeling rushed and pressured and unsure should have been my clue that I wasn’t ready to take that step.” 2. Kourtney needs to be perfect . At least when it comes to organization. She writes about needing everything in her fridge lined up in a certain away; same for glasses and dishes. She also “has to have” pink dish gloves and the same style of hangars throughout the house. 3. Kim has a woman crush on Jennifer Lopez . She describes her first, nervous meeting with the singer/actress and how J. Lo “made me think it was sexy to have a big booty.” Looks like someone will be watching American Idol this season. 4. Kim encourages you to talk to her . Saying she gets “excited” to see fans dressed in her style, this sister adds: “I like being myself, I don’t want to be unapproachable.” This is especially true if you’re famous and/or a professional athlete.

8 Milestones in the Evolution of Russell Crowe

Russell Crowe tries his best at counterprogramming this weekend with his new prison break thriller, The Next Three Days . But how did Crowe get to the point of bankable action star after his debut on an Australian television series? You can always trace a direct line through a handful of roles (not necessarily his best roles, mind you) to illustrate what led to an actor’s current success, and with Crowe, that line twists through soap operas, cop dramas, thrillers, and, of course, one fateful Oscar night. Let’s look at eight performances — including one of his earliest — that trace the evolution of Russell Ira Crowe.

Haven’t We Seen EW’s Nude Anne Hathaway/Jake Gyllenhaal Cover Somewhere Before?

Entertainment Weekly is riding the Jake Gyllenhaal/Anne Hathaway live-flesh beat pretty hard this week, unveiling not one, not two, but three separate covers featuring the Love and Other Drugs duo in various nude embraces. Hot stuff! But haven’t we seen something like this before somewhere else? (Hint: Yes — in the same building.)

In Memory of American Idol’s Semifinal Rounds: 10 Incredible Performances

Nigel Lythgoe is one of my favorite forces in reality television, but he announced a big mistake today: American Idol ‘s glorious semifinal rounds are no longer . Instead, this season’s live performances will begin with Top 12 week, and we’ll also be forced to watch as contestants compete in “music video” competitions. Horrifying, indeed. Without the semifinals, Idol loses so much great drama, intimacy, and some of the best performances in the season. Without further ado, let’s show Nigel Lythgoe how much he messed up and revisit Idol ‘s most incredible (and sometimes cringe-worthy) semifinal moments.

‘American Idol’ Revamp Includes Axing Top 24, Adding Video Competition

Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe also says Randy Jackson is ‘pulling his weight’ for the upcoming season. By Gil Kaufman Nigel Lythgoe Photo: Mathew Imaging/ Wireimage Call it the 10-Year Itch. A decade into its run, “American Idol” is getting a face-lift courtesy of returning executive producer Nigel Lythgoe. When the 10th season kicks off on January 12, contestants will be faced with a series of new challenges that will make the reshuffling of the judging panel seem tame by comparison. According to an interview with TVGuide.com , Lythgoe has plans to streamline the show while giving contestants challenges that will potentially better prepare them for pop stardom. Among the fresh wrinkles being thrown at the aspiring singers are contests to make the best music videos and promote themselves and a chance to work with a band and dancers for an awards show-style performance. The biggest tweak, however, has to do with the mechanics of the show, namely the elimination of the round of 24 that shrinks the cast down to the final 12. “I didn’t think [the top 24] were very good, I was bored with them by the time they got there,” Lythgoe said. It was not specified, however, if the adjustment means that judges will pick the top 12 or what will replace the shows that formerly made up the early audience voting rounds. So far, Lythgoe said new judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez are settling in to their gigs and taking the job very seriously. “They both listen intently and don’t make glib remarks,” he said. “They give honest critiques.” At the same time, he noted that sole remaining judge Randy Jackson, best known up until now for his mostly lightweight, catchphrase-heavy critiques, has upped his game. “Randy is pulling his weight,” Lythgoe said. “He really has stepped up. He’s essentially come out of himself. He’s enjoying being in that position.” Among the other new aspects contestants — who can now be as young as 15 — will face are theme weeks that will cover certain decades rather than the catalogs of popular artists and a new in-house mentor in the form of Interscope Geffen A&M Records chairman Jimmy Iovine.
