American Idol Snubs MySpace Contestants
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video,
American Idol has opened up the Internet as a viable auditioning option for the first time ever in Season 10 - giving singers who haven’t the means, time or money to travel to one of the audition cities the chance to compete.
Here’s the rub: if they do get accepted for a callback, the MySpace singers have to fly to LA on their own dime. The show that makes millions of dollars just for using the Coca-Cola symbol every chance they get won’t even foot the bill for their own contestants.

American Idol Announces 10th Season Judges
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
As suspected, American Idol announced on Wednesday that Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler are definitely on board as judges in the upcoming 10th season. Alum Randy Jackson, who has weathered every judging change without batting an eye, will be returning to the series to join them. The only surprise to the panel comes in the form of Jimmy Iovine, chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Record.
From their comments, one may infer that J-Lo plans to be the new “nice judge” in the same vein as Paula Abdul. “For nine years I’ve enjoyed watching artists compete to get a meaningful chance to achieve their dreams,” she said. “I know from my own experience how hard it is to succeed, and I’m looking forward to discovering and nurturing that spirit in the many American Idol contestants I look forward to meeting this year.”
Steven Tyler, on the other hand, seems poised to become the new Simon Cowell of the panel. “If you don’t like what I say don’t get mad, get better.”

FOX Announces Upcoming American Idol Announcement
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Rumors,
In a move ripped right from the pages of Comedy Central’s production notes, FOX has broken the long silence regarding the upcoming American Idol 10 judging panel…but the network doesn’t have a lot to say.
FOX announced on Thursday that the panel is, indeed, a done deal…but they’re not going to announce the panelists until next week.

J-Lo is rumored to have at last signed her own contract (for a cool $12 million) just this week.
