Lee DeWyze, Bret Michaels and More: American Idol Finale, In Pictures

Simon Cowell said goodbye. Bret Michaels said hello . And Lee DeWyze was crowned champion . It was a long, entertaining, emotional night on American Idol , capped when Ryan Seacrest announced DeWyze as the winner, a conclusion Lee later summed up thusly: “It just all happened so fast. It was amazing, it felt like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and now that this big step is done, it’s on to the next step, which is to make an album and go on tour and do all the things I wanted to do for a long time.” Below, we’ve gathered a slew of photos from the evening. There’s Paula Abdul waving to fans; Carrie Underwood on the red carpet; Crystal Bowersox backstage; and so much more. Click on each photo to enlarge it… [Photos: Fox, Splash News]

Which was Paula Abdul’s Better Option: Got to Dance or X-Factor?

Paula Abdul’s new gig as lead judge on CBS’ s upcoming series Got to Dance is… happy? Grim? An opportunity for the 47-year-old singer to bring back her oversize blazers and leggings? Not so bad? Whatever it is, it’s not a Simon Cowell production, and that makes us fearful for next year’s smattering of reality competitions. I certainly figured that Paula would join Simon on the American version of his hit X-Factor . But could it be that Paula Abdul’s smartest move is detaching from all American Idol associations for good?

Might Paula Abdul Return to American Idol?

American Idol got a much-needed shot of adrenaline and entertainment this week, when Adam Lambert returned to the stage that made him famous. But ratings for season nine have plummeted, along with its enterainment value and overall talent level (no offense, Crystal Bowersox ). Especially because it will be competing with Simon Cowell’s The X Factor next year, the series needs to do something, it needs some kind of savior, it needs… Paula Abdul? Sources tell the latest issue of In Touch Weekly that “it’s a huge secret, but American Idol producers might be trying to woo Paula Abdul back to the struggling show.” Compared to when Paula was on the panel, viewership has fallen by approximately six million this season. That may have a lot to do with a lackluster set of finalists, of course, most of whom are the same type of singer. But with Simon departing, “they want Paula back,” an insider tells the tabloid. “They’re not sure if she’d be the fifth judge, but they are talking to her. People tuned in to see Paula’s wacky antics and her chemistry with Simon. The show is just not as much fun to watch without her.” Do you agree? Do you wanna see Abdul return to Idol?

Robin Thicke, Paula Patton Welcome Baby Boy!

Crooner Robin Thicke has a new person to serenade: Julian Fuego Thicke. That would be his new son with wife Paula Patton, his high school sweetheart! Currently on tour with Alicia Keys, Robin was set to take the stage at the Staples Center in L.A. last night. He missed the performance, understandably. Alicia announced that there was a good reason – daddy duty ! Robin Thicke and Paula Patton are new parents! Last year, Robin told Essence that they were expecting , and he was looking forward to becoming a dad so he could teach “him how to play basketball.” A noble goal … although he may know a bit more about singing than hoops. Congratulations to the happy couple on this joyous celebrity baby news.

Report: Paula Abdul to Host Star Search Remake

Former American Idol judge Paula Abdul is said to be “finalizing a deal” to star in a new version of Star Search , the ’80s-era talent show hosted by Ed McMahon. Hope her contract includes open bar. Slated for Summer 2010, the Star Search reboot is said to feature Abdul serving as a combination judge and host , although details are still being worked out. ABC, which is said to be developing the show, did not comment to Entertainment Weekly, which first reported the news about the recently departed Idol staple. Is Paula Abdul nearing a return to reality TV? Rumors suggesting Paula was headed for Dancing With the Stars as well as Idol frenemy Simon Cowell’s upcoming X Factor series have also circulated recently. The original Star Search wasn’t just for singers: actors, comedians and models vied to win the competition. So basically, it’s like Britain’s / America’s Got Talent . One alum of the long-running show: Britney Spears . What do you think of a revamped Star Search and the idea of Paula on board? Do we really need more shows like this – and is she the right person to host one?
