AMERICAN IDOL WILL GO OFF THE AIR WITH A BANG, NOT A WHIMPER

#paulaabdul #janetcharlton

American Idol producers have seen the writing on the wall (the ratings dip) and they plan to end the show gracefully next season. They want the ORIGINAL judges from the first season together again for the final season – Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, and Simon Cowell. That way they can end the show the way it began. Randy, the only original judge still on Idol, is perfectly willing to stay for another year, and Paula is totally up for it. Simon, of course, is playing hard to get – partly because he’s currently on The X-Factor, and partly because he likes to be difficult.

PARIS JACKSON IS NO LONGER A SHRINKING VIOLET

#parisjackson #janetcharlton

We were HAPPY to see Paris Jackson speak out on Twitter when she disagreed with her uncle Randy Jackson. It seems a letter is circulating on the internet supposedly signed by Janet, Rebbie, Tito, Randy, and Jermaine Jackson, calling for the present executors of the Jackson estate to resign because Michael’s will was “fake.” (Randy confirmed that the letter was accurate.) The letter also claimed that the executors mishandling of the estate caused Katherine Jackson to become ill and she suffered a mild stroke. Paris was outraged because her grandmother is NOT ill and she scolded “family members” and Randy in particular for spreading untruths. All tweets have since been deleted but it’s apparent that the Jackson family is still in turmoil over Michael’s estate, which has earned $475 million since he died in 2009. The fact that Paris is now speaking out and asserting herself is a GOOD thing. She’s come a long way since she was that quiet little girl hidden under a veil…

JENNIFER LOPEZ AND CHELSEA HANDLER: OPPOSITES ATTRACT

Thursday is becoming American Idol night at Ago restaurant in West Hollywood. Ryan Seacrest often dines there after the show with Randy Jackson and sometimes Simon Cowell. Jennifer Lopez was also seen there Thursday with about ten people including – of course- her boyfriend Casper Smart and also Chelsea Handler. Jen and Casper snuggled up while Chelsea kept the table laughing. It’s funny to think of Jennifer and Chelsea as buddies because health conscious Jennifer doesn’t drink at all and party girl Chelsea’s QUITE the opposite.

THE PHOTO THAT MICHAEL JACKSON COULD NOT DESTROY

The Jacksons never looked happier then they did in this vintage photo that The WOW Report dug up from somewhere. (It’s Randy, La Toya, and Michael, au natural) After Michael Jackson had most of his plastic surgery and skin lightened, he tried to buy and destroy all the photos he could find of himself before the makeover. Because he was such a public figure it proved to be an impossible task, but he TRIED.
