American Idol Update

Last night was round two of eliminations for the Fox Network’s American Idol.  The contestants were subject to a British Invasion theme, which came out quite nicely.  The show wasn’t lacking in the painful vocal moments, though!

Overall, the two best performers seem to be Jordin Sparks and Melinda Doolittle.  Sparks brought the pain, as she always does, with something new.  Doolittle will have to start varying her songs/performance or risk becoming boring, though.

Adam Sandler Saves the Day

If you’re David Letterman, and you can’t do your nightly “Late Show” gig, who do you call?  A CBS spokesperson stated that Letterman had to go home sick with a stomach virus, but he was able to find a last minute fill-in to handle his “Late Show” hosting duties: Adam Sandler.

Sandler was already scheduled to appear on the show as a guest, along with actor Don Cheadle, to promote their new film “Reign Over Me,” a drama about a man who reconnects with a college roommate after losing his whole family in the Sept. 11 attacks.

Vanessa Williams Lands A Star

The beautiful Vanessa Williams had an excellent day yesterday, as she enjoyed being officially inducted into Hollywood history.  The former Miss America was awarded the 2,331st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Despite her success, the talented singer/actress has had her share of Hollywood hardships.  In 1984, she gave up her crown as Miss America as a result of Penthouse’s release of some old nude photographs.

Simple Life’s Paris & Nicole Counsel Fat Kids

Yes, it is true. It is probably the most juxtaposition concept ever written for a TV show. Nicole Ritchie and Paris Hilton are going to be telling kids, fat kids, how to live their lives.

The news comes after the country has been well aware of the celebrities’ mismanagement of their own doings.

Heather Mills Dances Her Cares Away

Heather Mills McCartney, a mainstay in tabloid news for her bitter divorce from Paul McCartney, tore it up on Monday’s “Dancing with the stars” on ABC.

The 39-year-old former model/activist was the first contestant with an artificial leg to compete on the show.  “I’m just glad I did not fall over,” said Mills, who had previously joked about flying limbs. “I thought I would be lowest so I am pleased.”
