Last night marked yet another mediocre performance episode of American Idol Season 13. But at least Jennifer Lopez did all she could do to liven up the live proceedings… but dropping an F Bomb during one of her critiques! The accidental incident took place when J. Lo was gushing over Jena Irene and her cover of Evanescence’s “Bring Me To Life. Lopez gave Irene props for sounding “phenomenal,” but added that she yearned for the hopeful to be “more messy.” In describing how she wanted Irene to toss her hair around and go crazy, Lopez demonstrated this movement herself, which prompted Harry Connick Jr. to chant for his colleague to do another “hair flip.” The crowd then got into it and the censors sprung into action when J. Lo let out an audible curse in response. It was all in good fun and if you blinked you may have missed it… but humorous the funny clip now: Jennifer Lopez Curses on Air Lopez covered her mouth immediately after letting the swear fly, while Connick announced, “That’s Jenny from the block!” The artist then completed her positive evaluation of Irene and likely wanted to crawl into a hole beneath the stage. Really, though, Lopez can relax: Tom Hanks dropped an F Bomb on Good Morning America awhile back and the incident didn’t exactly affect his career or his reputation.
An emotional Amanda Knox is vowing to fight her murder conviction once again, saying defiantly “this is wrong” and that she will never willingly return to Italy. A jury found Amanda Knox guilty yesterday in the 2007 slaying of Meredith Kercher, which she spent four years in prison for before being released on appeal. Amanda Knox Good Morning America Interview Prosecutors in Italy retried the case, however, and Knox was convicted a second time. She has been in the U.S. since her 2011 release, however. She wasn’t present for the retrial, and Friday morning, she struggled to hold back tears as she railed against the verdict, saying: “This is wrong.” Appearing on Good Morning America , the Seattle native expressed outrage at the verdict and 28 year sentence the Italian justice system handed down. She told Robin Roberts she is “going through waves of emotions” and said she couldn’t believe what she was hearing when the decision was read. “It really hit me like a train,” Knox revealed, with her chin quivering and her voice cracking throughout the interview. “I did not expect this to happen.” She said, “No, this is wrong,” about her guilty conviction and said she’s determined to fight, telling Roberts “I’m going to do everything I can to prove it.” Amanda Knox Photos: Through the Years Open Slideshow 1.

Emotionally, Amanda Knox said, “Really horrible things can happen and you have to stand up for yourself and you have to believe that it’s going to be ok.” She admitted that the first time she cried was en route to the Good Morning America studio and blamed an “overzealous prosecutor and biased investigation.” “These things happen,” she warned, insisting that “I’m not crazy,” and noting that she will “never willingly go back” to Italy to serve her sentence. Her ex, Raffaele Sollecito, did attend his re-trial, and was also found guilty. He was stopped by police near the Italian/Austrian/Slovenia border Friday. Knox and Sollecito have maintained their innocence throughout the ordeal and they can appeal their convictions (again) to the Italian Supreme Court. As for whether Italy will seek extradition of Knox, it’s unclear, but she’ll clearly fight it under U.S. law, which bars prosecuting people twice for the same crime.

In late December, Robin Roberts posted a Facebook message that expressed gratitude to all that have helped her through a difficult period in her life, one that included a bone marrow transplant to treat a rare blood disorder. The Good Morning America anchor also referenced girlfriend Amber Laign for the first time publicly in the post, coming out as gay. Today, meanwhile, the anchor shared a photo of herself and her long-time partner at a wedding in Louisiana over the holidays. Said Roberts on air: “Next to me is my girlfriend, Amber, and my sister-in-law, Cynthia, and my brother, Butch. And it was a glorious, glorious time that weekend.” Co-anchor George Stephanopoulos then noted that everyone looks “so happy,” asking Robin whether sharing such personal information with the world has been a “good experience.” And a beaming Roberts made it clear the answer is a profound YES. “I have never been happier and healthier than I am right now,” she said. “And my year-end post was just full of gratitude and just telling everyone all that I’m grateful for, including my girlfriend Amber, who really loved me through a difficult year.” Roberts and Laign – who works as a a licensed massage therapist – have been together for 10 years.
Finally, Robin is making the money she deserves. Robin Roberts Signs Lucrative ABC Contract With all the health problems Robin has had to deal with, it is nice to see her win. According to Page Six reports: “Good Morning America” anchor Robin Roberts has quietly closed a long-term contract with ABC, multiple sources tell Page Six, and speculate that it’s worth between $13 million and $14 million a year. ABC reps declined to discuss the value of the deal — or even if one has been signed. However, a source close to the network insisted the pact is only in the “high-seven figures,” or just less than $10 million. “Over a month ago, they quietly inked a new, long-term, very high seven-figure deal with Robin that will keep [her] at the company for years to come . . . it was a friendly negotiation,” said an insider. “Robin’s been [at ABC News] for over 20 years . . . and will be a leader there for a very long time to come.” The source said that Roberts — who was on leave for six months after a bone marrow transplant — “was extremely grateful for the kindness and love shown by everyone while she was sick. “She made it clear to her reps that she wanted them to drive a fair deal but didn’t want to create any kind of bidding war,” our source said. Congrats Robin! This raise is well deserved.

Katie Holmes is in a romantic relationship with Jamie Foxx, a new report claims, and not only that, the duo has reportedly been together for some time. Sources tell celebrity gossip magazine In Touch that Holmes, 34, and Foxx, 45, are determined to keep the romance quiet, and out of the public eye. “Katie and Jamie have been dating for a while,” an insider told the publication, adding that Foxx secretly spends time at Holmes’ New York apartment. “They’re very Mission: Impossible about their romance.” Very well played, totally accurate In Touch source. Another source claims that when a driver pulled up to take Foxx to the set of his new movie, Annie, they were shocked when Holmes instead entered: “A hotel employee confirmed that Katie had stayed at the hotel with Jamie and that she was taking his car. So the driver drove her home to her apartment.” Radar reported that the two were getting cozy in August, when Holmes and Foxx were holding hands and dancing together at a Hamptons benefit.

Sorry, every other husband in the world. You can stop trying now. Paul Derthick has come up with the best anniversary gift of all-time. The 72-year old celebrated 50 years of marriage to wife Marie last week by carving out 17 acres of his Ohio farm to resemble the couple’s 1963 wedding photo. “He did it with the kids. They kept it a secret. I thought they were nuts, but it’s actually turned out very well,” Marie told Good Morning America today, vastly under-selling the impressive achievement pictured above. They carved out John Glenn last year and the Twin Towers in 2010 out of respect for the 10-year anniversary of 9/11. They’ve also used the farm to pay tribute to their favorite sports team, the Steelers and the Browns. But this one may be the ultimate accomplishment for Paul. “They put it together very nicely, with the church where we were married at the top, and our wedding picture of the two of us in the middle and the old tractor at the bottom,” Marie says.
