American Idol Judge Katy Perry

WHO WILL REPLACE KATY PERRY ON AMERICAN IDOL?

American Idol needs a judge to replace the departing Katy Perry, and a source connected to the still popular show revealed the top two candidates in the running: Jennifer Lopez and her 2020 Super Bowl halftime show co-performer, Shakira. J.Lo was a judge on Idol for 5 non-consecutive seasons while Shakira was a guest performer, but never a judge. If a deal cannot be struck with either of them, next on the wish list is Dua Lipa. Behind closed doors meetings with the respective agents are happening, with a new judge to be named soon.

Adam Lambert American Idol Gay Liberace

ADAM LAMBERT IS THE MODERN LIBERACE

This how Adam Lambert looked while walking around New York this week and we couldn’t help being reminded of Liberace! Back in the 1960’s, Liberace was an extremely flamboyant Las Vegas entertainer with a penchant for fur coats, glittery sport jackets, and feather CAPES. He also flaunted a lacquered high pompadour – comparable to Adam’s hair. Liberace insisted he was NOT gay his entire life. He even sued a UK paper for implying he WAS, and won a considerable amount of money. Before he died Liberace was sued by a 22 year old ex-boyfriend/chauffeur for palimony and they settled out of court. Adam, who never leaves the house without eyeliner, waited until after he LOST on American Idol to talk about being gay. Would he have confessed if he had WON first place on the show? Probably…

American Idol Cats Jennifer Hudson

JENNIFER HUDSON IS A WINNER NOW

Back in 2004 American Idol was extremely popular, but we never found it very interesting – and Simon Cowell’s smug attitude didn’t help any. The show is proud of bragging that Jennifer Hudson was a “finalist” that year, but actually she placed SEVENTH! Of course she has the last laugh now, Jennifer is one of the most successful losers from the show. She’s currently starring in the movie Cats, and looks better than ever after her lucrative stint with Weight Watchers.

American Idol must be depending on Jennifer Lopez to save the sinking series because they’ve been trotting her around town in different outfits every day. The show is in the middle of their Hollywood Auditions and Jennifer is prominently featured at all times. She and fellow judges Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr took a highly visible walk down Hollywood Boulevard to drum up some publicity for the show.

American Idol Demands Jennifer Lopez Perks

AMERICAN IDOL’S LAST RESORT: JENNIFER LOPEZ

American Idol is giving Jennifer Lopez a lot more than 17.5 million dollars to return to the show. Producers told her she could have anything she wanted and she handed over a list a mile long. Besides a gigantic trailer, she needs two spray tanners and an around the clock masseuse. According to Star magazine, she’s getting a ten thousand dollar a week wardrobe allowance. Her boyfriend Casper Smart has been added to the payroll as “choreographer.” Jen’s “no eye contact” rule will apply and she will be the ONLY female judge. But will all this indulgence save the struggling show?

American Idol Jennifer Lopez Mariah Carey Nicki Minaj

MARIAH CAREY HAS A BRUISED EGO

Mariah Carey must be in SHOCK since she learned about the plot to replace her with Jennifer Lopez in the middle of the American Idol season to boost sagging ratings. Mariah has a high opinion of herself and she threatened to sue the producers pants off. Although Idol reps scurried to deny the story, Mariah must be steaming. Of Course, Nicki Minaj must have found the news leak delightful but little does she know, HER days are numbered too. Viewers found the well-credentialed Mariah to be dull and not particularly engaging. While Nicki was more animated, much of the audience was turned off by her attitude. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the whole panel of judges will likely be replaced next year.

American Idol Food Ratings

RATINGS CHALLENGED AMERICAN IDOL IS REDUCED TO CHARGING CREW FOR SNACKS

American Idol’s ratings are down 18% compared to last year, and less ad money means fewer frills. This is clearly illustrated by the backstage craft service table at CBS where the live show is produced. A show insider told Rambling Reporter columnist Merle Ginsberg at The Hollywood Reporter that in early March crewmembers were surprised when they started being charged 25 cents to nibble on the previously free carrots and potato chips at the craft table. By April, the price to graze had gone up to a dollar! Why the crew people are being “punished” for low ratings remains a mystery.

American Idol Nicki Minaj Ratings

ONLINE HATERS HAVE TURNED FROM ANNE HATHAWAY TO NICKI MINAJ

Anne Hathaway must be breathing a sigh of relief since Nicki Minaj usurped her role as “most Hated” on the internet. As ratings slip on American Idol, some viewers are happy to blame Nicki. They started website pages devoted to getting her fired from the show. Complainers say Nicki is “disrespectful, ignorant and self-centered.” Although Nicki is more fun to look at than she is to listen to, don’t blame her for low ratings. The show is just tired.
