You're Next American Idol Is.... NOT Paula Abdul!

Well American Idol fans, it is with a heavy heart that I tell you that Paula Abdul has announced she is NOT safe, and is returning home after her tenure on American Idol.

Hmm, bummer? I just don't know about her to begin with. The only reason why she brought any entertainment to the show was because of her irradic behavior and off-the-wall comments.

As they say, the show must go on. Kara, Randy, and Simon will return as this seasons dream-bashing team... Is anyone going to miss Paula?

Hailey Glassman: Not Scared of Kate.

Hailey Glassman, Jon Gosselin's "Other Woman," has been speaking out about her new beloved.

Here are some of the snippets of what she had to say...

1. "He was so strong, I admired him."
2. "We're always laughing and joking. We watch movies, play pool and ping pong. We laugh a lot because I beat him at everything."
3. "He's a great cook. He cooks roasted veggies with special seasoning and sauces, and he grills pineapple with a butter concoction."
4. "The most important thing is if someone fits in with my family ... This is perfect. It just fits."

AND THEN THE FINAL ZINGER!

5. "I'm a huge believer in not controlling someone," says Glassman. "I'll give my opinion but tell him to do what he wants to do. He said, 'I'm just not used to having an option.' I told him life is about options."

SHE IS AWFUL! Such a dig at Kate, who has been called contolling, mean, etc.

What do you think? Is it too soon to be chatting it up about your soon-to-be-divorced boyfriend?

Jon Gosselin Packing On The POUNDS!

Poor Jon Gosselin. Maybe it's bloggers bashing him (like myself, go Team Kate!) thats driving him straight to the pantry. I understand that stress can make you pack on the pounds, but good grief!

These pics were taken at his Pennsylvania home where he is staying with his kids. Ex-wife-to-be, Kate, is now on her time off (rather than having the kids go between two homes, the couple has decided to keep the kids put and share the home.)

Maybe it was the French Food and Champagne cruises with his new GF... What do you think of his new physique?! Are you surprised?

He's Making HOW much?!

We've seen his face plastered on TV sets since American Idol was born. He hosts the FOX hit, he hosts E! News, he hosts a radio show, and you can't open a tabloid without seeing his white, gleaming grin!

That's right folks, Ryan Seacrest is everywhere. And FOX is shelling out the big bucks to keep him there.

CNN reports that Seacrest has signed a $45 million deal for another 3 years as Idol host. This new paycheck triples his previous paycheck of $5 million a season.

I've done a little research on my own, to see what $45 million bucks can buy. Here is what I found...

1. A painting by Picasso
2. A corporate jet
3. Cher's mansion in Malibu

Now, don't get me wrong, I've been thoroughly entertained a time or two by Seacrest's antics on American Idol, I just find it hard to believe that he's making that much money for three seasons!

Apparently, the entertainment industry IS recession proof!

What could you do with $45 million dollars?!

EWW. EWW. EWW.

Jon Gosselin- you should be ashamed of yourself!!

This weekend, photos were snapped of Jon (Minus Kate AND 8) in France with his new main squeeze. She is 10 years younger than him and, get this... The daughter of Kate's plastic surgeon (the family saw the Gosselin's story years ago, was moved by the changes Kate's body underwent carrying the sextuplets, and gave her a tummy tuck- free of charge.)

So, if a new girlfriend only 3 weeks after announcing the split isn't heartwrenching enough, she is also the daughter of some very generous friends.

Now that the shock has worn off- why were they in France, you may ask? The two were meeting with the Ed Hardy designer to work on a KIDS CLOTHING LINE Jon will be spearheading. And the icing on the cake?! His 8 tots will be the models for the clothing. RUDE.

So way to go Jon! Thank you for making my Team Kate decision that much easier.

Romo and Simpson Call It Quits

I have always been a fan of this Texas-twosome. They are the perfect little couple in my opinion- beautiful, successful, and all smiles.

But today, it was announced that the couple had called it quits. And on her birthday weekend, no less!

People Magazine says Romo is the one who pulled the plug the night before she turned 29- OUCH. What better way for a single celeb to creep one year closer to the big 3-0.

I have to say, her coping method is SPOT ON in my opinion.

On her Twitter page Sunday night, she said she was falling asleep with her mom and her dogs. What a support system! That's what every heartbreak needs, some motherly love, affection from man's best friend, and of course, a heaping bowl of ice cream.

Michael Jackson Memorial- On Taxpayers Dime.

There's no doubt that the King of Pop deserved a stand-out memorial service, and the city of Los Angeles did just that. Jackson's family and friends came together at the Staples Center, along with almost 20,000 fans and 9,000 of their own guests, to pay their respects to the entertainment king known around the world.

While it was a moving service that proved he was a loving father to his children, and an icon to musicians everywhere, it also cost a pretty penny.

Anywhere between 1.5 and 4 MILLION dollars to be exact. Those millions go towards security to keep the thousands of fans at bay.

So who's footing the bill? Why, the people of Los Angeles of course!

A city, already in-the-red financially, will be paying for this memorial.

Now, the mayor of Los Angeles has set up a web site with a link to a PayPal account to raise funds to pay off the memorial service fees. If you were thinking twice about opening your wallet to the noble cause, don't worry! Any donation IS tax deductable.

The web site asks generous MJ-mourners to open their hearts to the "City of Angels" and help them pay off security that allowed the King of Pop to be laid to rest safely and respectfully.

Do you think that is fair? Can you imagine forking over funds to facilitate the service?
