Miley Cyrus' Sweet 16: We Partied Like It Was 2008

I took my two daughters to Miley Cyrus' Sweet 16 party at Disneyland last night. I'm deaf now because of all the screaming, but my girls told me in sign language that they had an awesome time.

That Miley knows how to throw a party. Disney estimates that over 5,000 people attended the soiree, which cost $250 a ticket and featured a short concert by Miley and her dad Billy Ray. Celebrity guests included Steve Carell, Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford and David Archuleta. We saw all of them during the 'purple carpet' arrivals, but didn't see any of them roaming the park. I was disappointed, since I was looking forward to sitting real close to Carell on the Jungle Cruise and pretending he and I were on our honeymoon.

Miley's new boyfriend Justin Gaston joined Billy Ray on stage for a performance of "Achy Breaky Heart," and Billy Ray introduced him as "a family friend." I guess this means Justin gets the Cyrus stamp of approval; I remember my dad always introducing my boyfriends as "the bastard that's dating my daughter."

The evening ended with a huge fireworks display and the entire crowd singing Happy Birthday to Miley. It was almost 11:30pm by this point, though, so my two daughters were pretty much laying flat on their backs on Main Street asking for pillows. But still - Disneyland on a school night? They're the envy of all their friends. Like I said, that Miley knows how to throw a party.

Bo Bice, who was in the audience last night to see David Cook crowned as this year's American Idol, has revealed the name of his unborn son who's due in August. And by celebrity standards, it's a normal one.

"[We're] having a little boy [and] we're going to name him Caleb," he told People magazine at the AI's season-seven finale Wednesday night.

Bice came in second to Carrie Underwood in the 2005 American Idol competition. This is the second child for Bice and wife Caroline Fisher; son Adlan Michael is 2.

Thanks, Bice, for not naming your kid Pilot Inspektor.

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.

'American Idol' Carly Smithson Pregnant?

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 01:37:00 GMT

I couldn't pay attention to the performances on last night's American Idol. Why? Because I was too busy trying to get a glimpse of contestant Carly Smithson's stomach to see if she looked pregnant. Rumor is that the 24-year-old Idol finalist is expecting a child.

Smithson is married so it wouldn't be a big scandal, except that there's never been a pregnant contestant in the top ten. I'm not sure if there's ever been a pregnant contestant, period.

Which brings me to my next question: Are they even allowed to have sex once they've passed the sacred doors of the American Idol enclave? I mean, with anyone besides Paula, that is.
