So this week…Miley Cyrus is mentoring the American Idol contestants. I am not NOT saying that she isn’t wonderful and successful but is she really ready to mentor others? Are we really putting her up there with the likes of Barry Manilow (my lova!), Andrew Lloyd Webber, Dolly Parton, etc…
I have to question what the HELL are they thinking?

Those of you who watch American Idol may have noticed the judges changed their seating around a bit last night, with Ellen DeGeneres moving to sit beside Randy Jackson instead of next to Simon Cowell.
When asked about the move, Ellen admitted that Simon gets a bit handsy with her.
It sounds like there’s only fun happening on that side of the table, as Perez Hilton reported this morning that Chris Golightly, who was unceremoniously booted from the earlier rounds due to an existing recording contract, is now showing documents that released him from that contract prior to his AI audition date.
Of course, not long after, the CEO of that recording company accused Golightly of forging the documents himself after the CEO refused to.
Who knew that this season was so fraught with drama? This is almost as good as Real Housewives of American Idol.
See what I did there? With a title like that about Taylor Swift? It’s because I am OH SO FUNNY.
Anyway, we hit on last week’s shows that Taylor Swift swept the Grammy awards but then totally flummoxed during the performance with Stevie Nicks. Critics have been lashing out at her performance, some even going so far to say that perhaps she wasn’t deserving of the wins if that’s all she had to show for it.
Kelly Clarkson has come out into the fray, to carefully walk the line: she agrees that, yeah, the performance was indeed sucktastic, but not every performance is perfect. In her usual diplomatic fashion, she tackles the critics AND Swift’s music label manager, who has been out playing Big Poppa to anyone who dares to speak badly about the Grammy-award winning artist.
Look, I am NOT a Taylor Swift fan, but I can totally see that she has a market devoted to her. And yes, her performance makes my neck hairs stand on end and I want to scoop out my eyeballs with a spork, but I also know I’m not a 15 year old girl and maybe (MAYBE) if I was, I’d think differently.
I will say that I covet her hair.
You didn’t hear it here first, probably, but I just heard it today and I’m all about sharing the love.
Simon Cowell, of I-guess-we-can-still-say-American-Idol fame, has pulled his executive producer strings to make the puppets of the music world dance for a remake of the R.E.M. classic, Everybody Hurts.
