I’m sure everyone has heard about David Hernandez’s gay stripper job her held for three years. (not that there is anything wrong with that)
After his rendition of “All Coming Back to Me Now,” Simon can be heard telling the other judges to “say I liked the way you stripped it down.”
Simon cannot let things go and has to always get his 2C in.
Paula Abdul drunk off her ass on TV…. am I out of line??? What do you think????
More Paula drunk???
“Idol Judges Gone Wild”
(“Tell me you Love me”)
For years, questions have swirled about the “Relationship” that has existed between Simon and Paula. Their onscreen flirting has had people everywhere assuming that the two have most definitely been, and are still, doing the dirty deed. A N.Y. Post Headline from 01/10/07 read as follows, “Paula Abdul says There are Times Simon Cowell is Like a Big Brother….or A Lover” The Freudian inferences here are mind boggling!
“I thought it was just O.J.”
( No More Mimosa Breakfast’s)
Yesterday, Abduls’ spokesman, Jeff Ballard, insisted that rumors of Paula being drunk on air during a morning news interview was not accurate. Ballard insisted that Abduls erratic behavior was due to tiredness from a throat infection. You decide. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zt5wn3fvlw
“Simon Says, Icon a No Talent”
(Clarkson Rules!!!!! Dylan WHO???)
In an upcoming interview with Playboy Magazine next month, Legal Immigrant and A.I. judge, Simon, “I’m not a Baby Boomer”, Cowell declared that “He has never bought a Bob Dylan record because he bores me to tears.” Cowell continued to say that he would “Plug my ears and run if he were to see and hear a 21 year old Dylan singing, Blowing in the wind.” Cowell stated that he would pick Kelly Clarkson, a modern day Aretha Franklin, any day over the no talent Dylan. American Idol Rules!!!!!
History??? Please! What good is heritage?, Why remember history??? I mean it’s all stuff that already happened right?
You don’t have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. I feel old.

Oh Yes, He’s thinking It!
The Fall of the Empire…
The Combatants enter the Network’s Coliseum to the thunderous ovation of the bloodthirsty throngs assembled.
The Metro Sexual Coliseum crier calls for silence and then declares, “ For Those of You Who Are About To Die, We Salute You”!
“It’s No Longer important how you came to be here, only that you survive to sing another day.”!
“And All This Will Begin…..Right after the Break.”
We Have No King But Caesar…
Caesar Simon Cowell, the omnipresent and omniscient being responsible for unleashing this “Beast” of mediocrity upon humanity, sits in judgment of D-List singers. Watching demurely as each entrant claws desperately to acquire their self indulged 15 minutes of fame…..He sits, he observes, he lambastes.
Predictability and the crowd demands that he rule judgments, thumbs up, thumbs down?! Even if he thinks you worthy, He’ll speak of your talent, or lack thereof, with unbridled, unbiased contemptuous glee….
But ultimately, your fate will be decided by the reaction of the mob assembled.
Like the Empire of Rome, American Idol will Never Fall…It’s Eternal…………………..
All Hail Caesar Simon!! Hail Caesar!!!!!!
It appears that Randy Jackson will be with American Idol for a few more years. Fox Entertainment president Peter Liguori tells Variety that Jackson’s skills “as a musician, A&R executive, and referee make him invaluable to the show.”
The arm-pumping, “dawg”-dispensing American Idol judge has extended his contract with the smash hit show, according to Variety, ensuring that all three judges–along with host Ryan Seacrest–will remain on the series for at least three more seasons.
Jackson was the final one to re-sign with the show: Paula Abdul, despite speculation over her increasingly confusing appearances, signed a similar three-year extension last month, while brutal Simon Cowell locked in a five-season deal at the end of last year. Jackson is notorious for keeping the peace between Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell on the Fox hit reality show.
No word on how much Jackson or his judging cohorts pocketed in their new deals, but their already-huge seven-figure checks likely grew a lot thicker.
Jackson’s claim to fame was his stint as the bass player for the band Journey in the ’80’s. Jackson helped produce music for some big-name stars, including Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Madonna before he became a judge for Idol. He’s also been married to his wife, Erika Riker, since 1995.
If you’re anything like me, you love American Idol. I mean, what’s not to love? You’ve got Idol-hopefuls from every walk of life trying out for the contest, singing their hearts out, with big dreams of one day being a big star.
There are the judges: Randy Jackson - Weight gain, weight loss, his precious “Dawg Pound,” and generally the same comments, “Dude, yo, check it out. For me, the song was a’ight, a little pitchy in the middle, but you worked it out at the end.”; Paula - Is or is she not high or drunk during the show? Who knows? Who cares?! We usually get this from her, “You look beautiful, I think this song catches the essence of you… You know who you are.” What the …???
And who can forget love-him-or-hate-him Simon Cowell - Often scathing, but bluntly true criticisms, “That was Horrid, you sound like any other karaoke singer in any bar in the United States!”
Well, one web site has devoted their whole site to “getting back at Simon.” For free, you can take cyber-punches at Mr. Cowell, for free. Simply go to www.angrysimon.com, and you can get into a boxing ring with the Judge we all love to hate. Hey, I know quite a few people that have had a ball with this game! And if you don’t dislike Simon, you can always imagine it’s your boss or ex’s face when you’re swinging the punches… Enjoy!
Evidently all is not well between brash American Idol judge Simon Cowell and the Artist Formerly Known As Prince, one of the surprise special guest vocalists on the American Idol finale show last week.
So, Simon, what exactly is the big problem? Cowell was reportedly angered by Prince’s refusal to neither sing or even meet with Idol contestants, nor greet the audience. Other guest vocalists, past and present, were more congenial. Prince merely sang two back-to-back songs with his own backup singers (or dancers, whatever they were…), then promptly left the Kodak Theatre, leaving without saying a word to the audience, the contestants, or the Idol staff.
Cowell was quoted as saying, “It just tells you how selfish Prince is. He comes on, not a word — ‘I’m not gonna sing with anybody else, I’m not gonna say good-bye.’ Thank you for your generosity, Prince.” Wow, I can feel the sarcasm dripping off those words!
American Idol host Ryan Seacrest later admitted to the press that he had been worried that Prince would be a no-show, because he did not arrive at the Kodak until just a few minutes prior to his performance.
A word to Prince, if you happen to be reading this somewhere out in LaLa Land: You just got the privilege of being invited to sing on a show that over 30 million viewers tune into each week. You took advantage of that opportunity; can’t you at least pretend to be grateful? I’d even venture to say that a good portion of the viewing audience (the younger viewers) probably had never even heard of you until you performed on American Idol . At the very least, you need to step off your high horse and be gracious for the chance you were given!
Yes, the judge we all love to hate, Simon Cowell, the British record producer signed on for another five seasons. So, we will get to watch him in action again as he belittles and embarrasses all upcoming talent.
This harsh worded Simon Cowell has aided the Fox talent shows in becoming one of the most popular shows on the Fox Network. Maybe it is because of his say it like it is personality.
The Fox Network revealed to sources today, December 2nd, 2005, that they did sign with Cowell to keep him on their popular show for at least five more seasons, beginning with the fifth edition of American Idol that is to air in January.
Simon Cowell still gets to keep his rights that he had previously to sign the winning singer and even the runner-up from every American Idol contest to a recording contract with his own label. His label is Sony BMG, which is a partnership between Bertelsmann AG and Sony Corporation.
Not only did Fox sign the deal with Cowell but they also renewed with 19 Entertainment, which is owned by CKX, and the Idol producing partner, FremantleMedia. With this agreement, American Idol will be aired for at least four more seasons also beginning in January with the fifth season.
Idol was the most popular show and watched show on television in the United States last season, with an average of 27 million viewers on Tuesday night. It was also the in the lead of the ratings race among viewers aged 18 to 49 which is the group that is prized by advertisers.
American Idol is Fox’s largest advertising cash prize, currently mounting between $500,000 and $700,000 for every 30-second commercial.
As the new American Idol season begins, we will enjoy seeing our old favorite judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, and Randy Jackson.
Even though the panel and the Fox Network have closed the case against Paula Abdul, will the viewers still believe that American Idol has credibility?
Corey Clark’s allegations against Paula Abdul were dismissed and Fox Network has decided to have Paula Abdul still be a reigning judge on American Idol, but now everyone must wait and see if the viewing population will still tune in and be on the edge of their seats to vote for the next American Idol.
The allegations, hit the American Idol show hard and the entire incident was investigated. Fox is not going to release all the findings and they will also not discuss all the findings. But, the law firms of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and Morrison & Foerster did all the investigating which took over 600 legal hours and 3 months of hard work. They interviewed 43 witnesses and lawyers Marcellus McRae and Ivy Kagan Bierman, came to the conclusion that “There was no evidence to corroborate Clark’s claim of an affair with the “American Idol” judge and no evidence that she tried to give him an advantage when he competed unsuccessfully in 2003.”
Many Paula Abdul fans are glad about this decision and as stated by John Forrest Ales, “I’m happy to see her coming back,” and “She’s what the whole show should be about, giving people a chance and watching what happens when young people explore their talent and try to follow their dream.”
Another fan, Janina Perez said “If there’s not proof, then that’s it. If there was proof they could show favoritism and she did help him, I would have an issue with that,” but when asked about watching “American Idol” she stated “In regard to watching the show, I wouldn’t stop.”
There will be a new “enhanced non-fraternization policy” placed on all judges and contestants so this type of incident will not happen again.
We will have to wait and see with the upcoming series if the television audience still believes in American Idol and with the fact that Paula Abdul will be one of the judges.
Paula Abdul will remain on American Idol. The independent counsel that was hired by American Idol to investigate the allegations by Corey Clark has stated that there is no proof that there was ever an affair between the two.
Fox Officials will however; place “An enhanced non-fraternization policy” for all judges for next season to prevent any future problems that may occur between the judges and contestants.
Paula stated on Friday after the announcement on Fox that “I’m grateful this ordeal is over, and I’m so looking forward to getting back to the job I love,” and concerning her fans she said “Once again, I thank my fans from throughout the world for their undying love and support.”
The producers have agreed that Paula Abdul can remain as a judge because none of Corey Clark’s allegations could be proven. Corey Clark claimed that while he was a contestant in 2003 that Abdul aided him in preparing his performance on the show. Paula stated that these were lies and now the independent counsel also agrees.
Clark, who was kicked off the show for not revealing a prior arrest, is not talking now. He was also in trouble over a hotel food fight that got out of control but the Sacramento County district attorney’s office decided not to press charges.
His allegations may have put a dark shadow on the competition at one time but the allegations were taken very seriously by President Peter Liguori of Fox Entertainment and he made every effort to get to the bottom of the allegations and safe face for the show. He stated that “Any allegations against this show we take quite seriously,” and Fox has proven that they will not allow such allegations to shadow their popular show, American Idol.
It may have taken 3 ½ months of inquiries and investigations, but the investigators have concluded on the claims of a sexual relationship between Paula Abdul and Cory Clark to “have not been substantiated by any corroborating evidence or witnesses, including those provided by Mr. Clark, and Ms. Abdul expressly denies that any such relationship ever existed.”
So, for all Paula Abdul fans, we will be enjoying her once again on the upcoming season.
