Michael Lynche wins the day

B.J. — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 19:34:40 +0000

The ten remaining male finalists took their shots on American Idol last night, and it looks like Michael Lynche came out victorious out of the whole lot. It looks like his cover of “It’s a Man’s, Man’s, Man’s World” by James Brown really hit the spot, even Simon Cowell thought so: “That was exactly the right kind of song for you.” Kara DioGuardi was of course the one to utter the biggest words: “You went from being a singer to someone who could potentially be a great artist.” The other judges weren’t far from her opinion either. Michael Lynche really sold it so he doesn’t have to worry about going home this week. The future, however is as of yet uncertain and the next disciple to the Earl of Exigency must be ready to face the many daunting tasks ahead.

Simon Cowell Talks Idol Departure

B.J. — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 20:41:05 +0000

It was recently announced that Simon Cowell will be leaving American Idol after this season and moving on to his next project, X Factor. Now, the snarky judge is speaking out about the kind of shocking, kind of not announcement saying “I’ve been doing this for nine years and it’s been a blast” but he felt that it was time to move on and focus his attention on one main show. Simon even got a little bit emotional as he said “It did feel a little bit emotional when I [made the announcement] because then it’s real… and then you remember all the good times you had.”

Eminem gets X Factor offer

B.J. — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 01:30:09 +0000

After the rapper’s outburst about how his complex musical experience would make him a key judge on the “talent show”, The X Factor, it seems Simon Cowell has taken a liking to the young candidate and is ready to take him under his wing. This is what the Earl of Exigence said on the matter: “It would be great to have him on as a guest judge. Em – I can call him that because we are on first name terms – the job is yours.” First name basis, eh? It looks like Eminem is really off to a head start. The guest judge is probably just a cover, Simon Cowell will most likely dispose of someone when the time is right. And now Eminem’s character development will take the most important step there is: the step into the dark side.

X Factor judge Cheryl Cole has said Simon Cowell is “annoying”

B.J. — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:05:25 +0000

X Factor judge Cheryl Cole has said Simon Cowell is “annoying” and can be “so rude sometimes”.

The 26-year-old is a judge on the hit ITV show along with Simon, 50, and she said that there is tension between the two of them on the live Saturday night shows.

Asked about the friction, she said to BBC News: “There is on the actual Saturday night, when he starts getting annoying and saying nasty things. It gets quite heated backstage, and quite competitive.

“I don’t feel like I’m a competitive person. I feel like the best person should win The X Factor, whether they’re in my category or not.

“But he’s so competitive and so rude sometimes that I find myself getting caught up in it.”

Mary J Blige on American Idol

B.J. — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 20:40:23 +0000

Mary J. Blige will be meeting up with Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi to be a guest host for the American Idol auditions in Atlanta. The show recently wrapped up auditions in Boston on Friday where Victoria Beckham also ended filling up for recently booted judge Paula Abdul. A source said “The judges and production team have been having a lot of fun with Victoria. She’s had a great response so far, and has been really warm with the contestants.” That’s not what I heard when they were in Denver. But I’m glad that she got replaced with Mary J. I think that she will be more honest in her judging.

LaToya Jackson Wants American Idol

B.J. — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 17:50:02 +0000

Though she confirms that she was asked to perform on the show, LaToya Jackson won’t be appearing on Dancing with the Stars this season as the former singer says that she isn’t quite ready yet. LaToya said “I can’t see myself putting myself into there right now, dancing every single day when I’m still trying to find out what exactly happened to my brother. That’s the most important thing for me at this moment.” Though she doesn’t see dancing in her near future, LaToya does hope to be asked to be a judge on the upcoming season of American Idol. She said “I would love to be a judge on that show. I think I would do well with [Simon].”

Singer Sinitta starts formal divorce proceedings

B.J. — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:37:46 +0000

Eighties pop singer Sinitta has confirmed that she is going through a divorce with her husband Andy, after they separated last year.

Sinitta, 42, revealed in November 2008 that she had split from her husband Andy Willner, 49, after he moved to Hong Kong six months earlier.

The couple have two adopted children, and she has now revealed they are starting divorce proceedings.

“It was never meant to end like this, but sometimes somebody does something and it disturbs you so much there is no option but to end it,” she said.

“It isn’t in either of us to be hostile or bitter. We were really happy for many years and when it was working, I loved being married,” she added.

Sinitta was American Idol star Simon Cowell’s on-off girlfriend for almost 20 years before she married Willner, and admitted the pop mogul has been there for her following her marriage split.

“He [Simon] has been amazing,” she said. “But I’m not surprised by that because we’ve known each other for so many years, and he always knows the right thing to say.”
