Pants on the Ground – YouTube Sensation
General Larry Platt is 62. He might be too old for American Idol, but I have a sneaking suspicion he’s going to be a YouTube Sensation.
You lookin’ like a foo with yo pants on the ground!
Pants on the Ground – YouTube Sensation
General Larry Platt is 62. He might be too old for American Idol, but I have a sneaking suspicion he’s going to be a YouTube Sensation.
I’m looking for the video and will get it up ASAP!
The talk so far about American Idol 9? The Judges!
Usually after the first episode, the talk is all about the auditions, but this year is shaping up to be different on lots of accounts. In the second year of Kara, we get to see if she got laid in the offseason or if she’s still as horny as ever.
Paula Abdul? Out! Ellen DeGeneres? In! In what could be a great “free source” of advertising, they brought in Ellen, who’s daytime hit the Ellen Show could help ratings.
But the biggest shocker is the announcement that Simon will be in his last year at Idol. This, season 9, will be his fairwell tour before starting The X-Factor, also on Fox next year. This is his hit British Franchise they are moving to America. Will it be more like the Beatles? Or scarfs with sweaters? We’ll have to see. But we’re surely going to be talking about it. A lot!
Oh, and even Ryan isn’t out of the rumor mill. Some say he could be called into double duty next year, as a host and judge. Could be interesting? But don’t see it happening. Also, rumor has it that Ryan took the news very hard that Simon was leaving. That man-crush that Simon always refers to seems to have some merit.
Katie Stevens, an early frontrunner?
After this performance, MTV calls her one to watch!

Nigel: Nothing Will Ever be as Big as Idol
From TMZ: We spoke to Nigel in Beverly Hills today, where the mega-producer called “Idol” a “phenomenon” … adding he’s “not sure that anything will ever be as successful as American Idol.”
Lythgoe also offered up a replacement judge for Cowell … but you’ll never guess who.
Ellen Discusses First Day of Idol on her Show
I have to say that I think the Ellen Show is going to really help Idol. It’s a big platform for the kind of audience they want to pimp the show and contestants each and every day. I think this might have been a brilliant move, especially if she’s any good as a judge!
Simon Leaving American Idol, Starting The X Factor
So the biggest news of the new season might not be Paula leaving or Ellen joining. It might just be that this will be the victory lap for Simon Cowell who will be leaving American Idol after the season to start an American version on his hit The X Factor. While this is stunning news for Idol fans, it could be a blessing in disguise. We’ll still get to see Simon on Fox and Idol could drop a peg, allowing it to tone down a bit on the “bad” and become more about finding the best talent. Then The X Factor could be another huge hit that gave us more stars. Who knows how it will pan out, but we can dream, right?
Ellen DeGeneres to be 4th American Idol Judge
Just in case you haven’t heard, Paula’s not going to be back when the 9th season of Idol begins in January. In her place, none other than Ellen DeGeneres. I don’t know exactly what qualifications she has to be a judge of a singing competition, but at least she can talk. And her wife is really hot.
In other news, Hollywood week will be moved back this year to start January 9th, meaning there won’t be the leaks that usually start coming out in November. Kind of a bummer, but such is life. Ellen’s schedule is believed to be one of the main reasons and this moveback will allow her to be part of Hollywood week.
