American Idol's newest judge, Kara DioGuardi has had a busy couple of months. Along with having to prepare for Tuesday night's premiere of the eighth season of American Idol, DioGuardi just revealed that she got engaged to boyfriend Mike McCuddy on December 8 while they were vacationing in Mexico. According to her rep, "No wedding has been planned," which makes me think they're just waiting for the AI season to be over so they can talk the top twelve into singing at their ceremony.

McCuddy, who is descrbed as a "former school teacher-turned-general-contractor," is also a dad. Which means that along with becoming a bride and a new AI judge, DioGuardi will also become a mom! Looks like her multi-tasking may give Ryan Seacrest a run for his money.

Three celebrity dads performing as back up singers to Gladys Knight - for me was the absolute highlight of the American Idol finale! They sure know how to "pip" it up. Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. are priceless hamming it up in their cheesy suits and bad dance moves!

Fantasia On American Idol: Everyone Else Should Just Go Home

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 15 May 2008 16:15:00 GMT

Fantasia Barrino, the winner of the third season of American Idol, performed on last night's show (check out the video below.) Did anyone else think that she just kicked everyone else's asses? Her performance was so high energy and infectious it made the three remaining contestants seem as if they've been asleep this entire season.

Barrino caused controversy during her AI run because as a single mother she had given birth, at the age of 17, to daughter Zion, now 6. In 2005 her memoir Life Is Not a Fairy Tale, that revealed that she was functionally illiterate, rose to the top of the New York Times bestseller list.

The current season of American Idol is down to the two finalists, David Cook and David Archuleta. I won't say who I'm pulling for, except it's not the one who looks like an elf and belongs on a Disney float singing show tunes.

This is an American Idol? Save Us From Paula Abdul

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 01:47:00 GMT

American Idol judge Paula Abdul, who was in the news recently with her adoption plans, is now promising to inflict her mediocre talent on the entire Super Bowl audience. And the NFL was upset about Jessica Simpson disrupting a game?

There are rumors that Abdul will be using the Super Bowl pre-game show to stage a comeback of sorts, performing with fellow Idol judge Randy Jackson. Seeing as many of us can't listen to an Abdul song without our ears bleedng, I can't imagine what she'll do to the nerves of the players. Everyone will be longing for the good old days, when Janet Jackson really knew how to entertain by flashing her nipple.

American Idol Season 7: Britney Spears Banned?

Sassy Smith — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 19:03:00 GMT

The 7th season of American Idol is almost upon us and guess who won't be attending?

Executive Producer of Idol, Nigel Lythgoe told reporters that he doesn't believe that Spears, "is in the right shape to serve as a celebrity mentor for the singing hopefuls. There will be no guest appearances on American Idol for Britney Spears any time soon." Smart move.

He continues, "Britney at this moment, I don't think is well enough to do anything and I think she needs looking after rather than being pushed in front of the cameras or pushing herself in front of cameras. I think she needs to get herself together, bless her."

Lythgoe commented that Britney would have been more than welcome last season. "I would have had Britney Spears last year for sure, when I thought she was trying to get it all together again."
