Nigel Lythgoe Returns as Producer on American Idol 2011
American Idol 2011 may have lost its Simon, but its gained a Nigel Lythgoe. Lythgoe, former producer of Idol, has returned to regain his role in the Idol think-tank told AP about why he wanted to return to the show he left behind: “Since we launched the original ‘Pop Idol’ in England, I’ve remained close with Simon Fuller,” Lythgoe said. “‘American Idol’ became a juggernaut of epic proportions, but to me it was always like home. I am elated and honored to be rejoining childhood friend and fellow executive producer Ken Warwick, and look forward to creating more magic.” Creating more ...
BREAKING: Kara DioGuardi Fired From American Idol 2011
Wow, the punches just keep landing this week for the American Idol 2011 judges! After learning last night that Ellen had quit from her 2-year contract after just the first season it’s now being said that Kara DioGuardi has been fired from Idol! I’m hoping that means they’ll bring just 2 new judges in, not 3, and keep it to a total of 3 judges. There was just too much going on last year and with no tie-breaker vote it was awkward. So not only has Jennifer Lopez been practically confirmed as one of the new judges there’s also the ...
BREAKING: Ellen DeGeneres Won’t Be An American Idol 2011 Judge
Whoa, this is big news, but not surprising at all. Ellen DeGeneres will not be returning to the Judges’ Panel for American Idol 2011! Ellen released a statement saying she had decided to not return, or was FOX just nice enough to let her say that? “A couple months ago, I let Fox and the `American Idol’ producers know that this didn’t feel like the right fit for me,” DeGeneres said in a statement. The comedian-talk show host said she realized that while she “loved discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people ...
American Idol 2011 Judge Hunt Narrows
Simon Cowell won’t be returning for American Idol 2011 which means the show will need a new judge if they want to keep the 4-judge panel running next season. There have been many, many rumors on just who would take Simon’s coveted seat and now we have some more answers as Idol narrows the pool of hopefuls. One of the current options to replace Simon is Harry Connick, Jr. who I thought made it painfully obvious that he was angling for the job during his stint as guest mentor this past season. Connick definitely has the background and ability ...

Adam Lambert Interview
Yesterday I was on a conference call with Adam Lambert and we discussed his album, “For Your Entertainment” and his upcoming Glam Nation Tour which kicks off tomorrow in Pennsylvania. Ashli Rae: If one of the singles from “For Your Entertainment” was going to blow up and become the biggest hit ever, which one would you want it to be and why? Adam Lambert: I have no idea. I think they’re all great. My current single that just came out is ‘If I Had You’. It’s trickling its way on to Top 40 radio right now. And I think it’s a great ...
American Idol 2010: Lee and Crystal get recording contracts
Yesterday was a good one for the final 2 contestants on American Idol as they both signed recording contracts. Lee signed with 19 recordings limited and RCA, the same as Daughtry and Adam Lambert while Crystal signed with 19 recordings limited and Jive records who produced Kris Allen and Jordin Sparks’ albums. Look for their albums to come out later this year but you can download their new singles on iTunes. Lee’s “Beautiful Day” is outselling Crystal’s “Up to the Mountain” but that is to be expected since he was the winner of the show this season. We’ve also learned that Crystal and ...
American Idol 2010: Lee is crowned winner and Simon bids farewell
It was an awesome ending to an otherwise boring season on American Idol and Lee Dewyze broke down even before he was announced the American Idol winner while Simon Cowell managed to tear up a little during his farewell speech. I was shocked and in a good way when the opening song was the Top 12 singing Alice Cooper’s “Schools Out” (For Summer) and saw Orianthi jamming on the guitar. Then the rock legend himself actually appeared on the Idol stage and I was like WOW, this dude has gotten old but he can still rock it! I think the rock element was long overdue this season so kudos to whomever brought Cooper to the Kodak Theatre ...
