Get Over It: The James Durbin Edition!

James Durbin (aka the Adam Lambert wannabe) is speaking out about how he felt uncomfortable with Lady Gaga‘s mentoring session this past week on American Idol. I haven’t been a big fan of this season but I thought Gaga actually offered up great advice and helped everyone’s performances. The funny thing is that after she showed James how to move his hips, he ended up not taking her advice during his performance of Love Potion No. 9, and guess what? James was voted off the following night! He probably should have listened to Gaga rather than being all uncomfortable, so to James I say, GET OVER IT!

For Lady Gaga’s millions of “little monsters,” an instructional hands-on dance with the megastar would’ve been a dream come true. But for American Idol contestant James Durbin, being manhandled by the singer was more like an on-air nightmare. When James didn’t move his hips enough for Gaga’s liking while performing Love Potion No. 9, on the May 11th episode, she put her hands on his waist and showed him how to better dance to the beat.

“I didn’t like it,” James tells Life & Style about his too-close-for-comfort brush with Gaga. “It was unexpected and very uncomfortable. To sum it up in one word: awkward!” The rocker was kicked off Idol the next night and judge Jennifer Lopez broke down in tears after the announcement. SOURCE

Lady Gaga on American Idol

Lady Gaga wore penis heels on ‘Idol’ last night!

Did you happen to catch American Idol last night? I passed on this season because the show kind of passed its expiration date after that dude with the grey hair won (Taylor Hicks?) and I haven’t really bothered with it since, plus there’s no sign of Simon Cowell or Paula Abdul. Anyway, Lady Gaga was on the show last night to mentor the contestants (what does that mean? No clue, but apparently it’s very important and worthy of Gaga’s precious time), and decided to take the primetime opportunity to put her brand new shoes on display for everyone! Unfortunately, said shoes were showcasing penis heels.

When Gaga appeared on the show, producers smacked an Idol logo over her sexually explicit stilettos because they each had a Lucite penis for a heel. The porno pumps by London fashion brand Void of Course may be racy but they ain’t cheap … they retail for over $4500. SOURCE

Wait, what? Jesus, $4,500 for penis heels? Seriously? Here’s a thought: Go out, buy a pair of sensibly priced pumps, then pick up a couple cheap, small lucite dildoes. Remove the heels from the shoes and hot glue gun the dildoes in their place. Congratulations, you just got yourself a pair of pretty much the exact same heels for way less than what Gaga paid, Martha Stewart would be oh so proud. Tune in next week when we teach you all how to make a festive and fun centerpiece for your sex dungeon!

The Idol house is haunted now. Uh-huh. Sure.

Normally, when a show’s rating start dwindling after a couple seasons, the producers get desperate and try to bring in new viewers by shaking things up a bit. You know, introduce new regular characters, get rid of old ones, throw in some random plot twists that make no sense. Case in point: The American Idol contestants reportedly moved out of the house they were staying in because it was haunted or some shit. Seriously.

But the paranormal activity that sent the contestants over the edge happened last week — when several wannabes claim they watched a bed sheet suddenly take on a life of its own and FLOAT down an empty hallway!!! And as if the ghosts weren’t enough, Sunday’s torrential rains caused the roof to leak like a mutha. Sources connected with the production tell us … the contestants FREAKED OUT and demanded to move … and Idol producers obliged. SOURCE

I’m not saying that American Idol just jumped the shark. What I’m saying is that American Idol just played hopskotch on the shark’s back, set it on fire, beat it with an ax, rolled it around in salt, then fucked the shark’s mother while it made the shark watch and then never called the shark’s mom back. I mean really: Haunted houses? Holy crap, even The Brady Bunch stopped at cursed tiki idols, and most of the cast and crew were on crack and fucking each other.

J.Lo Hates being on ‘American Idol’

So despite being on America Idol for all of … what, like a month? Barely half a season? J.Lo has already come out and said that she hates having to be on the show. I mean, mind you it was because she hated having to reject a contestant, but still, what are the chances she cries herself to sleep every night while drinking from a Coke cup?

J.Lo in particular had a difficult time becoming J.No. She seemed in agony the first time she was shown rejecting a contestant. “Oh, my God, I hate this!” she complained. “Why did I sign up for this? I want to go home.” She got up to hug a contestant who was crying upon meeting her. SOURCE

J.Lo? Touching a commoner? Poppycock! What sort of madness is this? Next you’ll be telling me she left the house with anything less than $70,000 on her fingers and she managed to fit her ass on only one single chair. HA! It’s a good thing we don’t live in that crazy world. Could you imagine?!

Who did Jennifer Lopez’s hair? It looks terrible!


It’s official … Earlier today FOX (with the help of Ryan Seacrest) unveiled the new judge line-up for the upcoming tenth season of American IdolRandy Jackson, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez! The show just isn’t going to be the same without Simon Cowell but I’ll probably tune in anyways … I can never pass up a train wreck .. and speaking of wrecks … who the hell did Jennifer Lopez’s hair?! It looks totally awful – I don’t know if it’s a wig, ratty extensions or what, but girlfriend looks like she just rolled out of bed – it’s a big pile of mess – someone needs to tame that shit ASAP! Popbytes over and out for now … xoxo!



PS Don’t get me started on what she’s wearing – that ugly jumpsuit is such a nightmare!

JLo’s getting $12 million to judge a karaoke contest

Oh glory be hallelujah, the long national nightmare has ended restarted: Jennifer Lopez has finalized her deal to be a judge on American Idol because… well, let’s face it here, the girl’s not doing anything else, is she? Remember that crappy song about shoes? No? Neither does anyone else.

A month after the singer-actress’s initial deal with American Idol fell apart — thanks, in part, to demands that had gotten “out of hand,” according to a source — Lopez will after all be joining the judging panel for the show’s upcoming 10th season, sources tell PEOPLE. Lopez’s $12 million contract, which was first reported by Deadline.com, comes two weeks after Kara DioGuardi confirmed she was leaving the show, following in the footsteps of both Simon Cowell and new judge Ellen DeGeneres. SOURCE

Oh boy, $12 million to tell teenagers that there rendition of Total Eclipse of the Heart was pitchy? Plum gig, JLo, plum gig. It sure as hell beats your previous job of absolutely nothing. Somewhere out there, Ben Affleck is laughing his ass off at the premiere of The Town knowing that he just dodged a goddamn Bullet.

lopez, out!

Just in case American Idol needed yet another nail into their coffin, Jennifer Lopez, who was scheduled to be one of the new judges after Simon Cowell, Ellen DeGeneres and that other chick no one cares about left, has also been canned from the show for being a gigantic diva bitch. No way, really? I think the only thing that surprises me about this is that someone out there couldn’t actually see this coming.

Jennifer Lopez won’t be a judge on American Idol after all, according to a source close to the situation. The singer-actress had been closing a deal to be a permanent judge on the show for its upcoming 10th season but the deal fell apart. “Her demands got out of hand,” says the source. “Fox had just had enough.” SOURCE

Aw great, now who’s going to tell modestly talented teenagers that their karaoke was “pitchy”? Crap, and I was so looking forward to yet another Idol winner slowly fading into a life of semi-obscurity and mall tours. Why do you do this to me, Jennifer Lopez?

well that was quick: ellen leaves ‘idol’

Showing once and for all that the woman can spot a sinking ship before it even hits the iceberg, Ellen DeGeneres has ditched American Idol after one long, pitchy season to focus on her talk show and attempt to repair what little remains of her ear drums. All I can say is, between Ellen, PillPopper (Paula) and ManTits (Simon) leaving the show, either it’s going downhill or Randy Jackson hungers.

“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 and sometimes hurt their feelings.” SOURCE

Well, if it’s any consolation, her stay on the show was longer than the careers of almost any actual Idol winner. Hell, her tenure lasted longer than Ruben Studdard‘s, Fantasia Barrino‘s, ummm … Fuck, I can’t remember anyone else. Did the gay guy win? No? Never mind then. Well, what about that hippie chick? … ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
