Dancing With the Stars 12: Kirstie Alley Dropped, But Favorites Stay Strong

Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Kirstie Alley looked beautiful together on Monday night’s Dancing With the Stars… until his leg gave out early on in the routine. The actress fell to the floor, the audience audibly gasped, and both performers quickly scrambled to their feet. The dance -- this week, it was the rumba -- was flawless after that. Watch the performance in the video above. The judges admired Alley’s spunk and quick recovery; they each awarded her a 7 as a balm.

American Idol 10, Top 11

No one was sent home the week before, as the judges chose to use their save for Casey Abrams, so two singers had to leave American Idol on Thursday night. The show gave us a dramatic intro to lead up to the episode, which was peppered with video montages, performances and recaps from the preceding night.

Voters set a new record for the show, offering up 55 million votes to keep their favorites in the contest. But who managed to win too few hearts and wind up with theirs broken?

American Idol 10: Top 11 Perform… Again

American Idol 10 - Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson

The second Top 11 performance on American Idol began with an appropriate recap of last week’s shocking elimination, which culminated in the most dramatic judges’ save in show history. The save is now gone, and all 11 performers have been cut loose to stand on their own… if they can.

Ryan Seacrest spent some time speaking about last week’s “incredible moment” before introducing the singers for the evening and theme for the night. Elton John was the man of the evening, a rock icon who has rubbed elbows with royalty and inspired the likes of Lady Gaga, Madonna and others.

Jay-Z, University of Kentucky Wildcats

Jay-Z brought lots of excitement to the University of Kentucky’s men’s basketball team last week when he treated them to a post-game locker room visit. The Wildcats were already riding high following the NCAA tournament game which landed them in the Final Four of the Division I tournament. But, Jay-Z crossed the line with the visit for one important reason: he’s a mogul, not an ordinary fan.

Will Amazon Cloud Player be successful?

Amazon Cloud player

Amazon needs a way to hold on to its music customers in a post-CD era, and tightly integrating its new cloud music service with Amazon MP3 purchases might help it do that, but the concept of a "music locker" is not exactly the most innovative approach and could face licensing issues, according to analysts.

Earlier this week Amazon unveiled a new cloud-based music service that provides users with up to 5GB of free, online music storage, and 20GB of free access for a year if they purchase an album via Amazon MP3. Beyond that, it's $20.

"Amazon needs to establish a strong post-CD role for its music customers, [and] this smartly positioned locker service is an important first step in building that future role," Mark Mulligan, a Forrester research analyst, wrote in a blog post.

Mulligan cautioned, however, that Amazon Cloud Player is not exactly revolutionary. "As logical a next step in the digital music market as locker services might be, they're not an innovation in the music product. They're simply giving people access to the music they have on the devices they own."

Glee’s Lea Michele Victim of Hit and Run

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Television, Drunk,

Lea MicheleLea Michele, Glee’s reigning diva, was hit by a car on Friday morning.

Michele was driving on Melrose Avenue in LA, on her way home from work, when she was hit by a car driven by “a couple of drunk girls,” according to an unnamed source. The source says that after the collision, the girls “got out of the car, giggled that she [Lea Michele] was famous, and said something like ‘are you drunk, too?’ Then, they drove off.”

The actress called the police after the accident, but she is not injured and “is fine,” according to her rep. In any event, Michele is a trooper. The former Broadway star was famously involved in a car crash while on her way to her Glee audition and “ran into the audition with cuts and glass in my hair.”

And still managed to completely wow everyone in the room when she sang “On My Own” to secure the starring role on the successful show.

American Idol’s Casey Abrams Back in the Hospital

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Where Are They Now?,

American Idol Casey Abrams - judges saveThe health problems with American Idol contestant Casey Abrams continue. We joked in our Thursday results recap that “for a few seconds it looked like he might need some sort of medical attention,” and the singer proved us right just minutes later.

Abrams won the coveted judges’ save after failing to secure votes following his Wednesday performance, and the experience was so overwhelming that he hyperventilated and collapsed after cameras stopped rolling.

Staff rallied and sat Casey in a chair before rushing him to the hospital, again, in his third dramatic stay of the (still rather young) AI season. Abrams had received a blood transfusion that very morning for his ongoing stomach problems.

As always, you can keep track of the current season of the show when you read all our American Idol 10 posts.

American Idol 10: Top 11 Results

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Video,

American Idol began Thursday’s results show with an explanation of the Motown genre… though we use the word “explanation” rather loosely. More than 30 million votes were counted to bring the night’s results, which Ryan Seacrest hyped “may shock you.” For once, his words proved true. The male competitors wore black suits for results night, while the girls put on shimmering white evening wear.

As always, Idol peppered its results show with videos of behind-the-scenes action.

Chris Brown Trashes Good Morning America Set

Chris Brown - Good Morning AmericaNot everybody can handle daytime TV. After being interviewed by Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts, Chris Brown freaked out and trashed his dressing room before storming out of the studio. Think he’s a little touchy about his shady past?

The singer was visibly upset during the interview, when Roberts pressed him for answers regarding his infamous attack on Rihanna. Brown was on GMA to promote F.A.M.E., his newest album, and tried to keep the interview on this topic. “This album is what I want them to talk about and not what happened two years ago,” he said at one point.

After his first performance (two were initially scheduled), Brown went into his dressing room and starting trashing the place. TMZ captured pictures of the large window he smashed, damage one source says was done with a chair.
