The rumor mill can finally stop churning: American Idol has announced its four-person judging panel for Season 12. Fox announced via press release this morning that Randy Jackson will return again to the ratings juggernaut, joining previously-confirmed Mariah Carey and the two leading contenders over the past few weeks: Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban. “Nicki’s an unbelievably captivating international phenomenon who has made an indelible mark on rap and pop.

How do you feel about this quartet?
Mr Keith Peck – a stock trader and former assistant director at the Monetary Authority of Singapore – was set adrift in the South China Sea along with eight other men, when a 50m-high tanker bulldozed over their fishing boat. Mr Peck was swept away by a wave after he volunteered to swim to a passing trawler for help. Mr Keith Peck, 31, is being lauded as a hero for trying to save the group by swimming for help. However, this comes as a cold comfort to his wife, who has spent an agonising past
Cenk Uygur hosted a prime-time show on the MSNBC after the Keith Olbermann firing resulted in a rearrangement of the prime time lineup. Uygur filled the 6 p.m. Eastern slot vacated by Ed Schultz since late January. In the video Uygur explains he turned down a significantly larger MSNBC contract for a much smaller role because he was told by the MSNBC president that the decision to remove him from primetime… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Blaze Discovery Date : 21/07/2011 14:22 Number of articles : 2
Last week’s nominees, Keith and Porsche, were both certain they had the votes and didn’t even try to save themselves from eviction ( the joke was on Keith ). This time around, several newbies were scrambling to cut deals and cover their respective backsides before Jordan’s nominations were even announced. Who did she put up, and who do you think stands the better chance of survival? THG breaks down last night’s live episode in a +/- recap below … Porsche is, like, so said to see Keith go. “NOT!” Minus 7 for that sixth-grader style diss, and for how funny she thought she was while delivering it. Adam and Dominic are both convinced the other turned on Keith, when neither of them did! Plus 5 for Shelley’s turncoat vote that no one expects. Pretty poor display by the new kids overall, though. They had the numbers, then coughed it up, and now kiss up, rather pathetically. Minus 7 . Evel Dick left , but his prediction of picking off these weak ass competitors one by one looks spot on. Plus 3 , because we really miss that guy. Only Dominic seems like he gives a crap about fighting back against the big kids and formulating a plan beyond straight up begging. Even if we’re not sure the Daniele mini-alliance will do the trick, Plus 6 for effort. Hopefully Dom and Daniele continue this “showmance” though. We can actually kind of see it, and the season needs a jolt of excitement. Plus 7 . Adam goes the opposite route and tells Jeff he voted against them in Week One. Honestly is the best policy … everywhere but Big Brother . Minus 5 . Rachel in a Princeton shirt reinforces why you can’t assume people attend the colleges whose apparel they sport. Anyone can buy them. Plus 4 . SHOCKINGLY, Brenchel wins the Have-Have Not competition. They could have likely won this one in their sleep, too. Minus 8 for everyone else. Kalia got HURT? Really? They barely even moved! Minus 5 for that horrific display, and Minus 2 more for the comment about Lawon’s future grandkids being up in there. That doesn’t make any sense … why wouldn’t they just be his kids? Minus 3 more for imagining Rachel “on the bottom.” Ugh . Like Human Centipede 2 , that competition was so gross – as much for the commentary as for the visuals – it could have been banned nationwide. Plus 4 . For some reason, Cassi refuses to even try to hide her disdain for Rachel. Not that we don’t understand the sentiment, but Minus 6 for terrible game play. Plus 8 for Lawon and Kalia’s “game play,” because they are such a mess, it’s working in their favor at this point. J-squared never even mentioned them! No need for these floaters to grab a life vest anytime soon. Jeff and Jordan are smart players, and handling the situation as well as anyone could, but Plus only 4 because the competition makes it so easy for them. Adam and Dominic are nominated for eviction. The kid knows he’s up against it big time but doesn’t seem fazed in the least. Don’t count him out. Plus 3 . The season is feeling a bit dull so far. There’s just something missing. Maybe it’s the scheming. Maybe it’s the hookups under night vision. Maybe it’s the screaming matches. Or all of the above. Step it up, guys! Minus 15 . EPISODE TOTAL: -13. SEASON TOTAL: +12.
