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.

miley cyrus vs. chris brown
okay, maybe that title is a little bit more scandalous than the story is really.  miley and chris won't exactly be doing any physical battling, but the two movies that stars will be headlining in 2010 will be going head to head.  on january 8, 2010, miley's the last song and chris' takers will see who can grab the crowd in the post-holiday weekend.  will people want to see a hannah-less cyrus?  how about a woman-beating hip hopper as an actor?  that is all to be seen.  here are synopses for the two films - you can decide which one you'll be going to.  the last song is a nicholas sparks-penned tale of a daughter reconnecting with her estranged father that disney (yes, the home of hannah is also the studio behind the flick, though they'll probably release it under one of their many other production titles) hopes will help miley break out as an actress.  think mandy moore in a walk to remember, people.  this is the first film for which sparks is writing both the book and the screenplay at the same time.  he was approached by the cyrus family about developing a project for miley and decided to write the book with her in mind for the lead.  if billy ray gets cast as miley's dad in the movie, god help up.  as for takers, it's a high powered cry drama about specially skilled bank robbers who decide to do one last job before calling it quits.  in addition to chris, the movie will feature the likes of paul walker, matt damon, and hayden christensen.  chris will take on the part of jake, the baby of the band of bad guys who is always stirring up trouble.  so which one will you be checking out in early 2010?

there wasn't much to report today, but i'll post more little blurbs over on twitter, so all you have to do it follow dirty laundry to get up to date info on everything.  the gossip never stops. in the meantime, check out denise richards' new funny or die vid...it'll make you laugh at the very end.
