Well it seems that one time around was enough for daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres who announced yesterday that despite inking a two year deal with American Idol producers last year that she would not be returning to the show this coming season. Although it’s a surprise to Ellen’s fans it’s not a surprise for show producers as DeGeneres says she told American Idol producers months ago that it didn’t feel like a right fit for her. Claiming her reasoning was a mix of scheduling conflicts and the fact that while she loved nurturing talent, she feels “It was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings.”

While long-time fans of the show have watched it slowly sink as its mainstay staff, has jumped ship so to speak. Others feel that the show needed a change and it certainly is not the same show it was just a few years back. While the shows most popular and talked about judge Simon Cowell will not be returning it’s still unclear who will replace him, Internet rumors have put several popular folks in his chair. Some of Cowell’s replacements are rumored to be Piers Morgan, Bret Michaels, Avril Lavigne, Howard Stern, David Foster, Jessica Simpson just to name a few.

It would appear Idol has already found Ellen’s replacement and it appears it is none other than Jennifer Lopez, Idol insiders report that the superstar singer has already accepted one of the two vacant judges’ chairs on the Idol panel and the two sides are ironing out contracts right now. Apparently it’s as good as a done deal, the two don’t have much figuring to do as the same source has reported that Lopez was offered an identical contract to the one Ellen signed just last year in terms of money and duration and is fine with that. So in my opinion this is a step up for the show after all Jennifer Lopez has sold millions of albums worldwide and is definitely more qualified to be judging vocalists than DeGeneres ever was.

Although Lopez’s career has all but disappeared in the past 5 years or so I really think she is much like Paula Abdul was when she started the show, they have both had stellar solo careers and can sing, dance and act. So great job Idol in this selection, you have finally done something I agree with!

As for the Simon Cowell Replacement I would like your opinion so please vote below, I will include the top five prospects based on recent media reports so let us know who you think is the best Simon Cowell replacement.

Well, it’s official Actress/Singer Lindsay Lohan is locked up and has begun serving a 90-day jail sentence of which she will probably serve around 23 days in the big house, all this for violating her probation.

She surrendered to authorities and was placed in handcuffs early Tuesday morning after a very brief appearance in Beverly Hills court. Lindsay will serve her time at Lynwood Correctional Facility a woman’s jail, where she will be kept in isolation and as you can see in her new mug shot, Lilo has already been issued her standard orange prison jumpsuit.

Due, in part to the massive overcrowding found in prisons in California she will only serve a fraction of her sentence in jail before heading straight to rehab. Lohan won’t have any time, to do anything upon her getting out of jail as the judge has ordered her into rehab within 24 hours of her release.

Lohan had been on probation since 2007 because of drunk-driving and drug-possession charges and got herself in deep water with a judge’s ruling earlier this month that the actress violated her probation multiple times by missing countless court-ordered alcohol education classes.

Well folks it been a few weeks since we learned of the Jim Carey and Jenny McCarthy split. Let me tell you this 37 year old Actress/Model has moved on fast. McCarthy was spotted with a new mystery man just this past weekend shortly after leaving a dinner date at the N9NE Steakhouse inside the Palms Casino resort in Vegas.

Last week sources close to McCarthy had told us that Jenny had moved on and sure enough, she has now been spotted with a new man. The two were partying at the Playboy Club and were said to be out celebrating Cinco de Mayo, that’s when Jenny was seen locking lips with her new boy toy.

So apparently she’s moved on just a month after splitting with five year boyfriend Jim Carey. This is where things get really messed up though. After several members of the media trying to hunt down the new friends identity they put forth the question “Who is this guy anyways?”

Well don’t ask Jenny because she claims she doesn’t know who it was! “Yes, I kissed a mystery man in Vegas; everyone wants to know who he is or what his name is . . . . So would I. Lol.”

Was Jenny Already Having A Secret Affair With Her Mystery Hunk?

When the Black Eyed Peas re-emerged on the music scene last year after a long absence they brought a new fresh sound, it’s hard not to dance to their blockbuster hit Boom Boom Pow right? So yes they managed to successfully spring right back onto the worldwide entertainment scene, but the only problem is… Get this, it turns out they totally ripped off the track!

I didn’t believe it at first either; after all we hear about these accusations all the time right? The story of an unknown artist who is trying to make a name for themselves, suddenly filing suit against a big star, who supposedly ripped off their tunes; however folks in this instance it seems to be completely true.

Musician Phoenix Phenom and her co-writer claim that the track Boom Boom Pow is actually a re-worked version of a song they had previously submitted to Interscope records titled Boom Dynamite. They are adamant that the group stole their song, switched it up a little bit and relabeled it Boom Boom Pow all without paying a dime or even giving them their due credit.

While we can’t prove that the Peas ever heard the original track or even the date that it was submitted to the record company one thing is for sure. This is the same song! Obviously there have been lyric changes etc. But in all my years listening and reviewing thousands of tracks I have never been so sure that I was listening to a bigger rip off than Boom Boom Pow.

Don’t take my word for it though, check out the Stolen Song below, I think you will quickly see that there is no way this isn’t the inspiration for the hit track that put the Black Eyed Peas back on the music map. It’s actually pretty sad considering the writing abilities of Will.I.Am, Fergie and the other guys, why would you rip off somebody and look like fools when your group is easily talented enough to write your own tunes.

Now I usually think these cases are baseless, but mark my words, Interscope and the Black Eyed Peas are going to lose this case and take a knockout hit to the wallet when all is said and done.

Believe it or not folk’s, that’s not all there’s more, in 1999 Dick was arrested for possession of cocaine and marijuana following an arrest for driving his car into a telephone pole in Hollywood. Calls to the “Funny Bone” indicate that they believe Andy will be released and is still scheduled for his show later tonight!
