day 167

kara dio guardi out of work already?
it looks like we might get a fourth judge on idol just for the one season.  american idol's latest addition, dio guardi, has reportedly told tv guide that she's only signed on for the one season of the show and, while she's optimistic the idol crew will take her back, it's no done deal.  in response to rumors kara will be leaving, simon cowell didn't sound too positive.  the "mean" judge said the only say he has is over ryan, randy, and paula and that he wouldn't want to do the show without them.  meaning, if idol producers are planning to place kara in paula's current spot next season and return to the 3-judge format, simon might be out too.  and, let's be honest, the show wouldn't survive sans-simon.  all signs are pointing to sayonara dio guardi, but i don't know.  i've enjoyed her addition to the panel - her comments are actually constructive, especially because she's pretty much the only judge currently involved in the music industry.  kara says what randy says usually, but expands on it; it's more than just "pitchy" or "aight, dawg."  expect fox to make an announcement on kara's standing on america's number one show sometime this summer when the next season will start production.  

denise richards...cover your ears 
on friday, illinois native denise richards got the chance to sing "take me out to the ballgame" at the cubs game.  to say the least, it was just a little off pitch.  okay, it was a lot off pitch.  why they asked a less-than-great actress with no track record of singing to serenade a whole stadium and tv is beyond me.  to make matters worse, denise performed the song during the seventh inning stretch - meaning everyone in attendance was already ready to blow their brains out.  check out the song stylings of the former mrs. charlie sheen above. if you dare.

taylor swift: happy mother's day
taylor swift's latest single, "the best day," is sure to be a radio hit, but that's not why the song's getting so much attention online.  as an early mother's day present, miss swift used home movies to create a loving homage to her momma.  check it out above.  taylor's "love story" music video was recently nominated for video of the year and female video of the year for this year's cmt awards.  in order to win the trophies, taylor needs your help. yep, your help.  check out taylor's self-made plea/sketch below and then head over to cmt.com, register to vote, and then pick your faves to win.
