Is it the right call? Yes, the family should stay together! Of course not! View Poll »
They say second place in the first loser. But just try telling that to Kree Harrison. On the heels of Candice Glover taking home the American Idol Season 12 title, Harrison didn’t sound remotely disappointed when chatting with Access Hollywood. “I’m happy for her. I love her like a sister and I’m so freaking proud of her,” Kree said. “It’s a sisterhood further than friends forever could really understand because we’ve gone through this experience together. Not many people could understand it.” Of course, plenty of Idol finalists who did not win went on to enjoy very successful career. Take Jennifer Hudson, Daughty and Adam Lambert as just a few examples. Did Harrison see her second place finish coming? “I really had no idea because we are two totally completely different artists, so I didn’t know,” she said. “But I’m so freaking proud of her. We both have so much drive, whatever would have happened I was just thinking in that moment that I’m so excited to do something, like, the next step.” We wish Kree the very best of luck and we ask again: Did Glover deserve to win? Yes, she was the best all season long! No, Team Kree! View Poll »

A housekeeper who once described seeing Wade Robson in the shower with Michael Jackson may be the key to the former’s claims of molestation. Robson, 30, recently accused Jackson of sexual abuse in a claim against his estate, then defended himself on Today, calling Michael a pedophile . Blanca Francia’s testimony during Jackson’s 2005 child molestation trial included a graphic account of MJ showering naked with a young Wade Robson. Francia described seeing Michael’s underwear on the floor outside the Neverland Ranch shower, as well as Wade’s child-sized neon green underwear. She said she couldn’t see exactly what the King of Pop was doing in there because the shower door was fogged up, but said she heard him laughing . Despite Francia’s story, Michael was acquitted – in no small part because Wade himself also testified and insisted Jackson never abused him. That’s the opposite, of course, of what he is claiming now. Robson is planning to argue that the late icon’s companies, MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures, had a duty to protect him when he was a young boy. Because they were involved in recruiting him from Australia to work with Michael – who he says abused him from ages 7-14 – they are liable today. According to TMZ, Wade wants to use Blanca’s 2005 testimony to show Michael abused him, and hope that she will cooperate in his new case as well. Robson has been hammered by MJ’s former attorney Tom Mesereau, as well as Michael’s nephew Taj Jackson , his ex-wife Debbie Rowe, and others. Michael’s camp says Wade is obviously changing his story now because he’s motivated by money, and point to his moving 2005 account – under oath. Wade says he understands this, but is adamant that he’s not lying now. “I never forgot one moment of what Michael did,” he said. “But I was psychologically unable and unwilling to understand that it was sexual abuse.” “I lived in silence and denial for 22 years,” Robson went on, noting that he suffered nervous breakdowns that nearly ended his career two years ago. “In order to heal, I have to speak the truth and speak the whole truth.” You tell us: What do you think of Wade Robson’s allegations? He’s totally lying and just wants money. It’s probably true and MJ should pay. View Poll »
The Dark Knight Rises director heaped praise on actress Anne Hathaway ahead of the final Batman installment, which opens July 20th. He said Hathaway performed so well as the human-feline-vixen that she deserves her own spin-off movie. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the British-born filmmaker will spearhead a Catwoman enterprise himself. “Anne is incredibly precise and articulate about the psychology of the character. She’s really built it from the ground up, it’s just a delight to watch her perform,” he said to Access Hollywood as reported via The Guardian. “The thing she does in those heels is not to be taken lightly. She’s an incredible character and we’re very excited to see her and hopefully we’ll leave people wanting more.” But as far as Gotham, Batman and the like are concerned, Nolan said he’s ready to do something else. “I’m done. I’ve told our story and I’m moving on [but] I certainly think she deserves it – she’s incredible.” Anne Hathaway’s character revises Michelle Pfeiffer’s version from 1992’s Batman Returns in which she plays Selina Kyle. The Dark Knight Rises is the third and final installment of Nolan’s Batman series which opened in 2005 with Batman Begins . The Dark Knight Rises stars Christian Bale as Batman as well as Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman. Newcomers include Hathaway as Catwoman/Selina Kyle, Tom Hardy as the villain Bane and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a Gotham policeman. The film takes place eight years after where The Dark Knight left off. [Source: The Guardian ]
