The 15 year-old (really looks like a 12 year-old) student from Lafayette, Louisiana has a great voice, fantastical musical taste and is definitely more talented than Justin Bieber. Yep, you simply can’t help making that comparison.

The 21 year-old musician is a very dedicated piano teacher from LaPlace, Louisiana. Judge Jennifer Lopez had to ask Jordan to please stop singing because he was giving her some major goose bumps, while Steven Tyler was enjoying the moment. That was probably the one of the best auditions of the season. LOVED it!

The movie is scheduled to be released on May 11, 2012 and is based on the dead dictator’s novel Zabibah and The King.

Cohen is best known for his characters Borat and Bruno from the films of the same name.

Keeping Up With the Kardashians reality star Rob Kardashian, 23, has been offered one heck of a check to pose in the buff for Playgirl magazine.

Kim Kardashian Too Old To Pose Nude At 30

Daniel Nardicio, a rep for the magazine, confirmed that Rob has been offered $45,000:

“While most people assumed we’d be interested in [Kourtney Kardashian's beau] Scott [Disick], my interest actually lies in the adorable Rob Kardashian. Rob is a perfect example of the classic Playgirl model, and we’d be proud to have him join the ranks of other quasi celebs to strip for Playgirl.”

He added that Rob would have to spend some time in the gym prior to the shoot:

“I’d bring him to NYC to work with my trainer for a few weeks though, as he looks like he could use a few weeks prep before the shoot.”

Ummmm, ouch?

Rob has yet to respond to the offer.

George Clooney‘s spokesman confirmed the actor  contracted malaria earlier this month after a trip to the Sudan.

The trip was made to help stop a potential civil war in the area; Clooney was there working with Google and the UN to install security in the region.

Stan Rosenfield, Clooney’s spokesman, has said he is now “completely over” the sickness, adding:

“This was his second bout with it. This illustrates how with proper medication, the most lethal condition in Africa, can be reduced to a bad ten days instead of a death sentence.”

Clooney was reportedly filming his appearance on the new Piers Morgan CNN show. Morgan Tweeted earlier:

“George Clooney has contracted malaria following recent trip to Sudan.”

He then added:

“More Clooney – it’s his 2nd bout of malaria. Taking medication but feeling rough.”

His appearance on Piers Morgan Tonight airs Friday.

Get well, George!

It’s a girl for crime scene investigator Calleigh Duquesne — better known as Emily Procter – who plays Calleigh on CSI: Miami. The actress and her musician boyfriend Paul Bryan welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Pippa, in early December.

Emily returned to the set yesterday just in time to catch her co-star Adam Rodriguez‘s debut as a director.

She told TV Guide Magazine:

“I wouldn’t have missed it,”

“In a way it fits that my first day back is Adam’s first time directing because I felt like he genuinely wanted me to have a healthy baby. He wanted me to be happy, and I wish the same for him. I think that’s what you get after nine years together. It’s that genuine want for each other to be happy.”

Her longtime co-worker-turned-director also made comment on the star’s new arrival:

“We’re so happy for Emily,”

“This is something I know she’s wanted for a long time. She’s got the right guy in her life and it was the right time for her, and it’s so great when you get to see somebody be able to have it all. She’s just really got it all together.”

A successful television career, musical boyfriend and a new baby? Sounds like Emily definitely got a lucky hand. Despite being pregnant for 9 months, Calleigh Duquesne will not be written as pregnant, and Procter will only be written out for one week. Her latest episode, post-baby, airs March 13.

Congrats to the couple!

This season, the process is a bit different to prevent Idol finalists names from being leaked too earlier like what happened last year. The final Top 20 has not been chosen yet because the decision will probably be made a couple of days before the names are revealed.

Tia and Tamera Mowry are “shaking up the family tree with sibling synchronicity” — just one week after her twin sister Tia announced that she’s pregnant, Tamera Mowry is engaged to FOX news correspondent Adam Housely…again!

Did you just do a double take? That’s right — again! We reported in July of last year that the couple were engaged, but that their relationship had been on-again, off-again from the start. So, either they’re giving it another go or Tamera just wants to remind the world — in light of her sister’s recent headlines — that she exists, too.

32-year-old Tamera told PEOPLE:

“I’m beyond thrilled and feel so blessed to have him in my life,”

“Not only is he my love, but also my best friend.”

That’s sweet and all, but what happened the first time? Let us know when you guys actually make it down the aisle, THAT will be big news!

Supposedly, the wedding is set for later this year, but we won’t hold our breath!

The winner of Survivor’s season 21, “Survivor: Nicaragua“, Judson “Fabio” Birza, was arrested for suspicion of being under the influence of a controlled substance while skateboarding in Santa Monica, California on Wednesday (January 19)- mug shot above.

Fabio was booked for public intoxicating and riding a skateboard on the streets, which is illegal, plus an unrelated DUI warrant and a probation violation. Survivor’s wonder child was held on $37,000 and released.

Surprisingly (or not!), there was a limousine waiting just outside the police station to pick Fabio up and friends waiting to celebrate his freedom. And that’s all a $1,000,000 prize can buy you.

Will Smith is reportedly eyeing a new role for his daughter, Willow, as the star of a remake of the original musical film Annie.

The Smith family is churning out the hits these days; this summer, Will developed the Sony movie The Karate Kid starring his son Jaden. The movie was a box office winner, making over $350 million worldwide, which more than likely sparked the interest in Annie.

While no details of the reboot have surfaced, it’s rumored that rapper Jay-Z, who worked with Willow on her hit single “Whip My Hair,” is in talks to collaborate on the music for the film.

Project reps were reportedly “tight-lipped” about whether the movie would be a contemporary version and whether it will include any original songs.

Eh, I don’t know about this. Do we really need to mess with a classic like  Annie? Hello? ”Tomorrow” is my song, peeps!
