Reports are surfacing that Jessica Simpson has been having meetings with the top brass at Fox about becoming a judge on “American Idol.”
TMZ reports that producers are desperate to find a replacement for Simon Cowell, and Jessica could be an ideal fit. In theory, she does make sense as a replacement. She has experience in reality TV and of course is a music business veteran. The question remaining is if she has the star power to turn around “American Idol’s” dismal ratings.
However the show needs a hard ass now that Cowell is leaving. Jessica is a nice and sensitive girl. She isn’t going to tell anybody that they suck!
An official announcement will be made in September.

A Kings of Leon concert was shut down Friday night in St. Louis after pigeons started crapping on the band, reports CNN.
“Jared [Followill, the band's bassist] was hit several times during the first two songs,” said Andy Mendelsohn of Vector Management. “It’s not only disgusting – it’s a toxic health hazard. They really tried to hang in there.”
“I was hit by pigeons on each of the first three songs,” said the musician and self-professed germophobe. “We had 20 songs on the set list. By the end of the show, I would have been covered from head to toe.”
After the cancelation, the band issued a statement via their publicist. “We want to apologize to our fans in St. Louis and will come back as soon as we can.” Added the band’s publicist, “No fans got pooped on as far as we know.”
The Flaming Lips embody the true artistic experience of music. They have amazing live productions, out of this world videos, and just generally well made music. We had the chance to speak with Wayne from the band about that and of course illegal drugs. Man he is cool!
Even though he doesn’t have a drug problem, crack might be in the future for Justin Bieber… a voice crack or two that is.
There’s no question that Justin Bieber has become one of the biggest young musical stars ever, but there’s one thing that he has to battle to ensure the success continues: Puberty. Despite the imminent voice drop, Bieber has a plan.
Bieber was interviewed by Vibe and was asked if he thinks his voice changing could hurt his career.
“Everyone’s voice changes. Puberty is a natural thing,” he said. “I have the best vocal coach in the world and we’re working on my voice and doing what I need to do. It’s not like as soon as you hit puberty you stop singing.”
Bieber also said that having Usher by his side through this rough time will keep him strong. “Usher is the best mentor in the world and he survived puberty,” he said. “He tells me what to do, what not to do.”
If the whole voice thing doesn’t work out well for him, there’s always auto-tune
Tom Felton, known for his sassy portrayal of Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movie franchise, is going to start a music career, reports CHARTattack.com.
The FeltBeats website recently announced that the 22-year-old blonde beauty has signed a record deal with independent label Six Strings.
The label confirmed the rumours on Twitter, tweeting on Thursday (July 15): “Tom Felton has signed and the album is very much on its way.”
Felton has already put out a few EPs and YouTube videos of his performances, so this record label will not actually be the first time we hear him musically. Still, he has admitted that he originally started making music as a joke.
Sean Kingston with andPOP's Dan Busheikin and Iyaz - August 2009
Earlier this month, two women accused Sean Kingston and a group of other men of sexual assault in a Seattle hotel room.
Both women told police that the men held them against their will, and were forced to having sex with the men. However, after police investigated further, they decided not to pursue charges against Kingston and the other men as they did not feel the claim was valid.
TMZ caught up with Kingston and asked him about the rape accusations. He replied by saying “That’s a rumor man.”
This incident evidently occurred while Kingston was on tour with Justin Bieber.
This was an awesome episode! Korey and Jordan investigate the state of commercial hip hop – to demonstrate the division between critical acclaim and commercially successful music, Korey and Jordan exploit mainstream audiences with their own “smash single.”
Filipino pop sensation Charice will be getting some help from an anti-aging procedure in order to look youthful for her upcoming role in “Glee.”
PopEater reports that Charice will be undergoing this procedure to make her “naturally round face” more narrow, celebrity cosmetic surgeon Vicki Belo told ABS-CBN television.
In a recent interview, Charice said “All people will be anticipating how will Charice look? Is she good enough to pit against Rachel Berry? So of course there is tremendous pressure.”
She starts filming for the series at the end of this month. And in case you missed our interview with Charice, see below!
Didn’t we say earlier today there would be problems with the cast of “Jersey Shore?” Well apparently the cast of the MTV series are on strike and refuse to shoot for the third season until they are offered a better deal.
Scenes for the third season were supposed to start shooting today with JWoww, Ronnie, Sammi, Pauly D and Vinny, reports TMZ. Shooting for the home scenes were supposed to take place in New York and Rhode Island, but the cast said they reused to shoot.
The Situation and Snooki are supposed to shoot tomorrow. However there is no word on their next course of action. Additionally The Situation is in his own negotiations with MTV.
Maybe this is a sign for MTV to cancel the third season, and the entire series. Aren’t we tired of these people and their stupidity?
