American Idol Announces Season 10 Finalists

Image
The evening started with a beautiful phrase appearing onscreen – "Every superstar begins with a dream" – and then, for some reason, we heard Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata." But that's not what you want to know: The season's first live results show reduced 24 singers to a top 10 picked by viewers, plus what turned out to be three "wild" saves by the judges. The American Idol top 10? Keep reading to find out. They are: Scotty McCreery, Jacob Lusk, Casey Abrams, Paul McDonald, James Durbin, Lauren Alaina, Pia Toscano, Karen Rodriguez, Thia Megia and Haley Reinhart. It took the first 70 minutes of the two-hour show to reach that list. Then the judges asked six singers to perform again, and from those they rescued three: Ashton Jones, Stefano Langone and Naima Adedapo. Now that we have their names out of the way, we can flashback to the songs that saved them: Ashton was the first "wild" performer, and strutted defiantly while she sang &quo

Guns N' Roses confirm gigs still on after Twitter hack

Image
Reading and Leeds Festival have denied that headliners Guns N' Roses have pulled out of this month's event. It was after singer Axl Rose's Twitter account was hacked with the message: "all upcoming Guns N' Roses dates are officially cancelled". Festival bosses confirmed that the Reading and Leeds performances and an October arena tour will go ahead. The misleading tweet, posted late on Sunday night also urged fans to return their tickets. However, in a statement Festival Republic told Newsbeat: "(We) are informed by GN'R management that Guns N' Roses have NOT cancelled their performances at Reading & Leeds and that Axl Rose's Twitter account was hacked into and all claims of dates being cancelled are unfounded." That means that the rockers' recently announced UK arena tour - their first in four years - will still go ahead. The band are lined up to play London, Birmingham and Manchester in October, as well as other shows across Eur

Image
LOS ANGELES — Sylvester Stallone has proven that he's not quite expendable yet at the box office. Stallone and his pumped-up pals lifted Lionsgate's 1980s-style action romp "The Expendables" to a No. 1 debut with $35 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. While the macho "Expendables" lured male audiences, Julia Roberts delivered a crowd-pleaser for women with Sony's "Eat Pray Love," which opened at No. 2 with $23.7 million. The previous weekend's top movie, Sony's cop comedy "The Other Guys," slipped to third place with $18 million, raising its 10-day total to $70.5 million. The Warner Bros. blockbuster "Inception" was fourth with $11.4 million, lifting its total to $248.6 million. Opening in fifth place with $10.5 million was Universal's graphic-novel adaptation "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World," starring Michael Cera as a slacker caught up in duels to the death with his new girlfriend's seven

Christina Ricci Debuts New Broadway Bob

Image
Christina Ricci is not only making her first Broadway appearance, but she’s also debuting a brand new look. Before hitting the stage this fall for Time Stands Still, Ricci chopped off her long, luscious locks in favor of a wispy chin-grazing bob. “For the play they wanted this and it was time to make a drastic change,” Ricci explained to PEOPLE at The Blackberry Torch Launch Party in Los Angeles Wednesday night. “It feels good.” The pint-sized actress, who also brightened her bob with chestnut highlights, likes to mix it up. “I change my hair pretty much every six months,” said Ricci, “I’m one of those people that I like to change constantly, like I go blonde, dark, short, long. I can’t stop changing I like it.” Not that Ricci won’t be craving long hair in the future, saying “I’m getting extensions soon.” Tell us: What do you think of Christina’s new do? –Michelle Ward source- http://www.people.com

Jennifer Aniston: Women Don't Need Men to Be Good Moms

Image
In her new movie The Switch, Jennifer Aniston plays a woman who decides to get pregnant in a non-traditional way – with a "turkey baster," she jokes in the film. During a press conference at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills on Sunday, the actress defended her character's leap into single motherhood by using a sperm donor. "Women are realizing it more and more knowing that they don't have to settle with a man just to have that child," Aniston, 41, said. "Times have changed and that is also what is amazing is that we do have so many options these days, as opposed to our parents' days when you can't have children because you have waited too long." When asked about the repercussions of raising a child without a father, Aniston said she believes all types of families can raise healthy kids. "The point of the movie is what is it that defines family? It isn't necessarily the traditional mother, father, two children and a dog named

Sandra Bullock Granted Restraining Order Against Stalking Suspect

Image
LOS ANGELES (CBSAP) Sandra Bullock is the latest star to get a restraining order against an alleged stalker. A Los Angeles judge has granted Bullock a restraining order against Thomas James Weldon, who has a history of stalking the actress and allegedly had traveled cross-country to try to meet her. The order issued Friday requires him to refrain from trying to contact her for the next three years. The Academy Award-winning actress has previously held restraining orders against Weldon. The current order also covers Louis Bardo Bullock, a baby boy who the actress is in the process of adopting, and the children of ex-husband Jesse James. Bullock's attorney, Ed McPherson, says Weldon was committed indefinitely to a state mental hospital in Wyoming on Tuesday. Earlier this week, actor Leonardo DiCaprio was granted a restraining order against a Canadian woman who is accused of slashing him with a broken beer bottle several years ago at a Hollywood party. She fled to Canada and recently

Review The Other Guys So Funny It Should Get Arrested! For Being Funny!

Image
Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg milk dry their default movie personas, but it's all part of the joke—and what a great joke it is. Sending up by-the-books buddy cop movies, these two Guys are a match made in comedy heaven. The Bigger Picture: The Other Guys is not only an odd-couple movie, but a wicked parody of badass-cop dramas, with all the shattered-glass, car-chase, bomb-exploding pomp glorified by all action pictures since Die Hard. The badasses here are Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson, gleefully spoofing their usual onscreen roles as swaggering cops with an inflated sense of ego. The only detective who isn't jockeying for position as next top dog is Allen (Ferrell), who plays it safe at his desk, much to the frustration of his reluctant partner, Terry (Wahlberg). A high profile case comes to their attention, and at Terry's urging, they tackle it with all of the gusto and none of the competence. While they bumble around, the script unpeels their backstories like a

Rudy Giuliani's Daughter Arrested for Shoplifting

Image
Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani's daughter was arrested for allegedly shoplifting Wednesday at a Manhattan beauty store. Caroline Giuliani, 20, a student at Harvard University who lives in N.Y.C. with her mother, was arrested at a Sephora shop on the Upper East Side after allegedly stealing makeup, the New York Post first reported. NYPD Detective Martin Speechley tells PEOPLE that Caroline is expected to be charged with "petit larceny," which is a police term for shoplifting goods worth less than $500. The former mayor's daughter was taken to a local precinct for processing, and was released. Her next court date is set for August 31. When asked to comment, her attorney Michael Bachner would only say, "Caroline is a lovely young woman. Still, it would be inappropriate for me to comment while her matter is in the legal process." Five cosmetic items worth about $100 dollars were found in her purse, sources tell NBC New York. A rep for Caroline's mo

Allen told Britain's Sun on Thursday that she is "delighted." All told, this is a momentous month for Allen. She is also set to unveil her new clothing line, Lucy In Disguise, with her sister Sarah Owen at the Vintage Goodwood Festival on Aug. 13. The baby news comes more than 2½ years after she suffered a miscarriage. In May, Allen told a British radio show that having children "is ultimately my main goal in

Ali and Roberto Want a Spring Wedding

Image
Now that she’s no longer the Bachelorette, Ali Fedotowsky has a wedding to plan — and she’s on a time crunch if she wants to make it down the aisle before next summer. “In the spring, we’re thinking,” the star of The Bachelorette said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Monday night when asked about when she’d like to marry her new fiancĂ©, Roberto Martinez, who proposed with a Neil Lane diamond engagement ring on Monday’s finale. While their wedding will likely be a big event — “Her mom wants like 700 people,” Martinez said — the couple already extended an invitation to a VIP guest, and we’re not talking about Chris Harrison. When asked by Kimmel if they’d invite President Obama, who was not invited to Chelsea Clinton‘s wedding, and his family, Fedotowsky replied, “Absolutely, if they’ll come.” The couple have only had limited time since the finale taped about three months ago — spending five days together for every 10 days apart, they said, because of demands of the show. But they found some “weird

Chelsea Clinton walked down the aisle in a Vera Wang dream dress – and later changed into a Grecian-inspired gown for the reception, where the new bride and her groom, Marc Mezvinsky, charmed everyone on the dance floor. "They were amazing," one wedding guest told Women's Wear Daily. "It was like watching Dancing with the Stars. They definitely took lessons." Guests at the Astor Courts also enjoyed a menu of farm-fresh salad, risotto, beef short ribs and grilled fish, plus toasts by the mother and father of the bride. Former president Bill Clinton raised a glass for his new son-in-law, joking to guests that he was, "looking forward to having some company because I'm outnumbered." The father of the bride included a sentimental note as well, telling the 400 guests, "Despite the fact that we have had interesting careers, we still consider the most important job we ever had being the parents of Chelsea." As the newlyweds enjoy their two-week-
