Jason and Molly Mesnick Dish on Wedding
It was unclear until the show aired whether the recently hospitalized singer would even make it to the show. By James Montgomery Crystal Bowersox on “American Idol” Wednesday Photo: Fox A day after she was hospitalized with what “American Idol” producers would only describe as “medical issues” and after a full day of drama about whether she’d even show up for Wednesday night’s (March 3) “Idol” telecast , Crystal Bowersox not only performed, she brought the house down. And, in the process, she may have established herself as the girl to beat in season nine. At the opening of the show, as host Ryan Seacrest was introducing the 10 remaining female contestants, he paused, put his arm around Bowersox and asked her how she was feeling. “I feel good,” she said. “I’m a tough cookie.” And she wasn’t kidding. Bowersox showed no signs of being under the weather, leading off the episode with a soulful version of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “As Long as I Can See the Light,” which showed off her powerful pipes and earned a well-deserved standing ovation from the audience and a whole lot of praise from the “Idol” judges. “That is pure, raw, natural talent. … There’s nothing forced, there’s nothing pushed, it is just raw, natural talent,” Ellen DeGeneres told Bowersox. “And I am so glad you are here today. I was so scared for you. So please stay healthy. We need you here. You are amazing.” Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi raved too, but the highest compliment was paid by none other than Simon Cowell, who praised Bowersox’s toughness and compared her to one of the all-time “Idol” greats, Kelly Clarkson. “I know how sick you were, actually, over the last 24 hours. … It wasn’t just like catching a cold or something. You really were ill, and I didn’t know whether you were going to back here this week,” Cowell said of Bowersox’s complications due to diabetes. “What’s great about you is that you didn’t play the whole sympathy thing, you chose a great song. I have to tell you something, Crystal: I completely underestimated you last week, because for you to come back this week with that song, that performance … I promise you, this was like the moment we realized with Kelly Clarkson that we’ve got a serious artist here. And I think we’ve got a really serious artist with you.” Bowersox smiled and thanked the judges, and then was asked by Seacrest if, in the hours leading up to the show, she was worried about her health. As it turns out, she was more anxious about something else. “I was just worried I wasn’t going to be here,” Bowersox smiled. It’s a good thing she made it. Earlier in the day, “Idol” producer Ken Warwick had told Seacrest on his radio show that if Bowersox didn’t perform, she’d be booted from the show. But just before “Idol” went on the air, she calmed her fans’ nerves by tweeting that her ” ‘beetus is under control. Thanks for all your well wishes … can’t wait to perform tonight.” Related Photos ‘American Idol’ Season Nine Performances The ‘American Idol’ Season 9 Top 24

More Americans get their news from the Internet than from newspapers or radio, and three-fourths say they hear of news via e-mail or updates on social media sites, according to a new report. Sixty-one percent of Americans said they get at least some of their news online, according to a survey by the Pew Internet and American Life Project. That's compared with 54 percent who said they listen to a radio news program and 50 percent who said they read a national or local print newspaper. Almost all respondents, 92 percent, said they get their news from more than one platform. “In the digital era, news has become omnipresent. Americans access it in multiple formats on multiple platforms on myriad devices,” reads the report, based on a survey conducted in December and January. “The days of loyalty to a particular news organization on a particular piece of technology in a particular form are gone.” Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have made news a more participatory experience than ever before, the survey suggests. People share links to news stories by e-mail, post articles on their Facebook and other networking feeds and tweet them on Twitter — often following up by discussing the articles on message boards and other sites. Seventy-five percent of respondents said they get news forwarded through e-mail or posts on social networking sites, while 37 percent of online users said they've reported news, commented on a story or shared it on sites like Facebook and Twitter, the survey said. “To a great extent, people's experience of news, especially on the Internet, is becoming a shared social experience … ,” reads the report. “[T]he advent of social media like social networking sites and blogs has helped the news become a social experience in fresh ways for consumers.” Most people said they use between two and five online news sources, and 65 percent said they don't have a single favorite Web site for news. When looking for news online, people said they're most often seeking information about a common topic: the weather. Eighty-one percent said they search for weather information online, followed by national news at 73 percent. Just over half — 52 percent — said they look for sports news, while 47 percent said they look for entertainment or celebrity news. Online news users are generally younger than the average population, according to Pew. About two-thirds of the study's online news users were younger than 50, and nearly 30 percent were younger than 30. Racially, that group is more white and Hispanic than the national average, while half of non-Hispanic black respondents said they get all of their news from offline sources. Only television news still outpaces the Internet, with 78 percent of respondents saying they watch local news and 73 percent saying they view a national network or cable news channel like CNN, Fox News or MSNBC. The report was based on a daily tracking survey of 2,259 adults age 18 or older. The margin of error for all respondents is plus or minus 2.3 percentage points — 2.7 percentage points for Internet users. A combination of land line and cellular numbers was used in the survey. added by: singrrr

Canadian-born singer/songwriter also performed the song on Conan O’Brien’s final ‘Tonight Show.’ By Eric Ditzian Neil Young performs during the Closing Ceremony of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics Photo: Cameron Spencer/ Getty Images At the closing ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics on Sunday (February 28), Canadian-born singer/songwriter Neil Young took center stage — or, rather, center snow at BC Place Stadium — for a games-ending performance of “Long May You Run.” Standing beneath the flickering lights of the Olympic torch with his guitar and harmonica, Young’s mournful song capped 17 days of world-class competition and might have sounded familiar to TV viewers: He performed the same song a month earlier, during the final episode of Conan O’Brien’s run on “The Tonight Show.” While the tune seems to be finding itself a cultural statement in 2010, it’s been around for more than three decades. In 1976, the Stills-Young Band — headed by Young and multi-instrumentalist Stephen Stills, both former members of the folk-rock group Buffalo Springfield — released the album Long May You Run. Reaching #26 on the Billboard chart, the disc ended up going gold. The album was originally envisioned as a reunion between Stills and Young and former bandmates David Crosby and Graham Nash, but tension between the four resulted in the brief formation of the Stills-Young group. The duo didn’t last for long, as Young bailed in the midst of the ’76 tour and Stills was forced to finish the remaining dates without him. The title track is said to be an ode to Young’s first car, a 1948 Buick Roadmaster hearse. “Although these changes have come/ With your chrome heart shining in the sun,” go the lyrics. “Long may you run.” In January, during O’Brien’s final “Tonight” appearance, the late-night host said Young had been the first person to call him and offer support when his battle with NBC management became public. Similarly armed with only a guitar and harmonica, Young offered a soaring take on “Long May You Run” that acted as an emotional counterpoint to O’Brien and Will Ferrell’s performance of the Lynyrd Skynyrd rock anthem “Free Bird.” At Sunday’s ceremony, Young stood in the midst of the cavernous stadium and belted out a tribute to the spirit of the Olympics. “We’ve been through some things together/ With trunks of memories still to come,” he sang. “We found things to do in stormy weather/ Long may you run.” Related Artists Neil Young

Stephen Colbert's coverage of the Olympic games hit a snag Monday night when he was informed that NBC has a stranglehold on everything Olympic related. NBC's grip is so tight, he can't even show any geometric shapes of any size or color without getting sued. If he wants to show the Olympic rings, they must be pixelated. If he wants to say “Olympic coverage,” he…well he can't. Luckily he's come up with a better name for the games: “Quadrennial Cold Weather Athletic Competition.” added by: Future_America

A day after famously telling an audience member to get off her cell phone during a concert, Adam Lambert spoke to E! News. The singer didn’t feel like reliving the incident – which has mostly earned him props from those that admire his boldness and hate on cell phone abusers – but he did touch on a number of other topics. To wit: His favorite artists right now : “Ke$ha’s CD is really fantastic for getting ready. Always Goldfrapp. Always, always, always. Mike Snow is a great album to get ready to.” His most-used hair products : “Oh man, I’ve lost count. And I got really overwhelmed, too, because it’s cold and it’s hot and it’s dry. I’m like oh, moisturizer! Oh hairspray! Just hairspray is my friend in general, especially in this weather.” A sexy celebrity : “Anna Kendrick.” For someone that likes men, he sure has good taste in women. The Twilight Saga and Up in the Air star is an absolute cutie. Lambert added that he has no plans to go on tour and hasn’t watched any of American Idol this season yet. That’s too bad because semifinalist Todrick Hall appears to have some of Adam’s unique style in him, as evidenced by his take on “I’m Yours” in Hollywood at least. He still have a VERY long way to go until he’s in Lambert’s league, of course.
