American Idol - Top 4 Perform

Jason Castro became yet another contestant this season to flub lyrics to a song on American Idol. While performing the Bob Dylan classic "Mr. Tambourine Man", Jason forgot the words to the second verse. I thought it was a great choice for him, but I don't think American Idol fans will have as much sympathy this time around in voting as they did for Brooke White.

Meanwhile, David Cook's performance of Duran Duran's "Hungry Like The Wolf" had the audience screaming for more.

Tom Cruise Interview on Oprah Day 1

Well, there was no couch jumping this time for Oprah's interview of Tom Cruise. Tom was very calm and relaxed throughout the first day of a two part series. The interview took place at Tom and Katie's incredible house in the woods of Colorado. Oprah did press the actor for many answers concerning the Matt Lauer interview, comments about Brooke Shields taking antidepressants, and his part in the Church of Scientology. Tom did come clean on a lot of issues and was very well spoken as usual.

In this clip, you can watch Tom discuss what Katie means to him. Also, Oprah asks Tom a few questions: How's Kate's family accepting you and what is your relationship with Nicole like now?

Barbara Walters admits to affair with a married MA senator

While appearing on the Oprah Winfrey Show (scheduled to air May 6th), Barbara Walters reveals that she had an affair in the 1970’s with Edward Brooke, a married Senator from Massachusetts.  Walters was on the show to discuss her memoir “Audition”.  This is a show we can not miss for sure!

Barbara Walters has been best known for her interviewing of famous people. She has always been able to bring out the emotions in them as well, so I am curious how choked up she will get now that she is on the other end.
 
Winfrey asks Walters if she was in love.

"I was certainly — I don't know — I was certainly infatuated."

"Infatuated."


"I was certainly involved," Walters says. "He was exciting. He was brilliant. It was exciting times in Washington."

Brooke White Voted Off of American Idol

We are finally down to four contestants as Brooke White was voted off this week.
Brooke had performed Neil Diamond's "I'm A Believer" and "I Am..I Said" in yesterday's show. I'm not sure how any of the performers can even sing at the end of the show once they have heard the bad news.

You can watch Ryan Seacrest give Brooke the sad news:





Jimi Hendrix Sex Tape Being Released

Vivid Entertainment has said it is releasing a sex video allegedly starring legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix. The video supposedly contains 11 minutes of Jimi engaged in sex acts. One of Jimi's ex-girlfriend back in the 1960's has already come forward saying that the man in the tape is not him. Unfortunately, for the rock and roll world, Jimi died way too young (at age 27).






CSI star Arrested for Drug Possession

No need for the Crime Scene Investigation unit on this case. 41 year old actor Gary Dourdan was arrested for drug possesion in Palm Springs, California. Police found him asleep in his car and allegedly found heroin, cocaine and ecstasy in his possession.

Here is Gary Dourdan's bio at CBS.




Kate Hudson tops People magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People list



Kate Hudson tops People magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People list. Not too bad for a 29 year old mom with a 4 year old kid. Hudson had her son when she was married to Chris Robinson, the frontman for The Black Crowes.

For a complete People.com Kate Hudson celebrity profile with photos and recent news, click here.
 


Was she always such a head-turner? Admits the actress: "I was a tomboy. I had three brothers. I was the girl with the dress on that always came back in the house filthy with scrapes and bruises. But I was always very girly. I had to be able to twirl so that my underwear showed."

Paula Abdul Goof Up on American Idol

Watch Paula Adbul as she gives feedback on Jason Castro's second song that hasn't even been sung yet! You can hear the crowd beginning to laugh in the background. Maybe she had one too many cocktails before the show? My guess is that the judges probably sit in on the song rehearsals and write down some of their comments from that. It also didn't help Paula that the format of the show changed as you could see by her total confusion.

American Idol Top 5 Perform

The five remaining American Idol contestants all performed Neil Diamond songs tonight. Same old, same old responses from Simon, Paula and Randy. The show is beginning to drag on longer than a 162 game baseball season. Most likely Jason Castro or Brooke White will be going home tomorrow although we were completely wrong last week as Carly was voted off.

Watch David Archuleta sing "Sweet Caroline", a crowd favorite at Fenway Park.

Miley Cyrus Embarrassed About Vanity Fair Pictures

Miley Cyrus has apologized ahead of time for some racy Vanity Fair photos.
She says, "I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed". I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about."

What is even more embarrassing has been Disney's reaction:
"Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines," a network statement said.

Here is an exclusive behind the scenes video of Miley while doing the Vanity Fair shoot:


Vanity Fair has described the video session as "a relaxed family event". However, many parents are up in arms over a 15 year old girl being photographed in this manner.

Simpson, 23, recently got engaged to rocker Pete Wentz from the band Fall Out Boy.

We have an earlier post of Ashlee saying how inappropriate it was to ask such a question about being pregnant.

Movie star Wesley Snipes was sentenced to a maximum three years in jail for tax fraud charges. Snipes was found guilty for not filing tax returns for three years.
Luckily, for Snipes he is well skilled in martial arts and has a fourth-degree Black Belt in Shotokan Karateso so no one will mess with him in federal pound. Snipes was recently working on the movie Gallowwalker that was expected to be released in 2009.

X-Files: I Want to Believe

Chris Carter finally came up with a name for the new movie. As a diehard fan of the X-Files TV show and the first movie, I am totally looking forward to another episode of Mulder and Sculley.

In an interview published March 27, 2008, Carter stated that the film would be consistent with the entire X-Files story arc, as Scully's child William would "not go unconsidered" in the film, and that it "takes place in the present and uses a story envisioned when the series ended."
