Jennifer Lopez said it’s nice to see another side of James. Steven Tyler loved that not only the guitar gently wept, but James did as well. Randy Jackson praised James for taking a step forward by showing a more emotional side of himself.

James did what he had to do. He sang wonderfully, but I’m afraid America might not understand what he tried to do. While everybody else is rocking, James sat down to just sing. I loved it, but James could be in danger… or not! Adam Lambert 2.0 has a huge fan base.

Steven Tyler loves Lauren. He said she became a natural born woman on that stage. Jennifer Lopez thought she was amazing and Randy Jackson said she did a good job with a difficult song.

It’s all about C-O-N-T-R-O-U-L (country + soul)! Lauren did not impress. That is really hard to do when the standard is set so high. There’s no one like Aretha. No one can ever sing it better than Aretha herself. I do not want to see Lauren in the bottom three. The girl has more to offer.

Randy Jackson was overexciting, saying Casey is revolutionary because he made the upright base cool. Steven Tyler pointed out this contestant is a true musician that always delivers something different and entertaining. Jennifer Lopez proclaimed she would pay top dollar to sit in the front row of one of Casey’s shows.

Good old Casey is back! That was a fantastic performance. Casey is not the best singer, but he is a true artist and he puts a whole lot of soul and attitude in everything he does. Let’s hope the fans do not forget to vote this week. Casey deserves to be up on that stage!

Jennifer Lopez warned Haley is now a contender. Steven Tyler couldn’t find anything wrong with that performance. And Randy Jackson explained the judges love the rocker bluesy soul thing in Haley’s voice. I agree there’s something really unique and beautiful about her voice.

The judges are always comparing Haley to Janis Joplin, so she decided to tackle one of the classics. Haley nailed it. One of the best performances of the night. Haley has an incredible attitude and she knows how to move around the stage. I LOVED it!

Jacob Lusk proved some songs are just not meant to be performed in a competition when he chose Michael Jackson’s “Man In The Mirror” at the American Idol season 10 Top 9 live show dedicated to songs from the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame on Wednesday (April 6)- watch video below.

WTH! What just happened? That performance was Jacob’s poorest performance on Idol, but he was only praised by the judges. I don’t even know why we need to hear those three, if they cannot do their job by offering some constructive criticism once in a while. Jennifer Lopez said Jacob can do anything (no, he can’t!), while Randy Jackson praised him for believing in himself.

Steven Tyler said that was beautiful (this judge is like a broken record!). Seriously? Jacob decided to not sing Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It” because it went against his morals or something. Then, Jacob hits the stage to sing one of the most beautiful songs ever and he can’t stop shaking his hips… UGH.

Jacob also seems to be lacking modesty. That’s what happens when you are always told you are fantastic and beautiful. According to Jacob, if he lands in the bottom 3, it’s not because he sang bad, it’s “because everybody in America wasn’t ready to look at themselves in the mirror”. WHAT? Excuse me. Just for that comment, I’d be more than happy to see Jacob get the boot tonight.

Bristol Palin made a whole lot of money to speak about (against!) teen pregnancy! Sarah Palin’s daughter, who is the mother of 2 year-old boy named Tripp, earned exactly $262,500 to advocate for abstinence and against teen pregnancy as an ambassador of The Candie’s Foundation during the year of 2009.

Giacinto ‘Gino’ Paoletti Is Bristol Palin’s New Boyfriend

Seriously? This girl was stupid enough to have sex with Levi Johnston and get pregnant while her mommy, former Alaska governor, was running as the Republican vice presidential candidate back in 2008. A few months after giving birth to baby Tripp, Bristol was out talking about abstinence.

Underage Bristol Palin Caught Inside Alaskan Bar With Nachos

Candie’s Foundation website says Bristol “plays an important role by helping other teens understand the incredible challenges teen parents face, and encouraging them to wait until they are socially and financially independent to start their families.”

Did Bristol Palin Get A Breast Reduction & Liposuction?

Bristol continues to work for the organization that will pay her a fortune to talk crap about not having sex instead of telling teens to wear a condom whenever they decide to do it, but spent only $35,000 on direct health and assistance services. Blasphemy!

In 2010, Bristol became a star during her long stint on Dancing With The Stars… now imagine the type of money she was paid to talk crap about abstinence in 2010. Bristol’s unprotected reckless sex with Levi was a huge career boost.

Mama Palin must be proud!

FOX News and Glenn Beck just announced the end of “The Glenn Beck Show” in a joint statement on Wednesday (April 6). Glenn is leaving the daily show to concentrate on more challenging projects.

Glenn Beck To Undergo Tests For Mysterious Health Condition

“I truly believe that America owes a lot to [Fox Chairman] Roger Ailes and Fox News,” said Beck in a statement. “I cannot repay Roger for the lessons I’ve learned and will continue to learn from him and I look forward to starting this new phase of our partnership.”

“The Glenn Beck Show” plummeting ratings and loss of advertisers due to the host’s crazy and bizarre rants are rumored to be the main reasons for its announced end of the show.

“Glenn Beck is a powerful communicator, a creative entrepreneur and a true success by anyone’s standards,” said Roger Ailes. “I look forward to continuing to work with him.”

FOX News and Glenn Beck will continue to work together “to develop and produce a variety of television projects for air on the FOX News Channel as well as content for other platforms including FOX News’ digital properties.”

“The Glenn Beck Show” will end later this year, but the air date for the final episode hasn’t been officially released yet.

Jason was always there, supporting her through the madness. An insider say, Jason and Britney are slowly going in the “get married and raise the kids” direction. Britney’s boys, Sean Preston and Jayden James, are also big fans of mommy’s man.

“[Jason] was someone she felt she could be her true self with. [Marriage] is what they talk about and the direction they’re going in,” the insider says.

OK. Angelina Jolie got a new tattoo! Everybody is talking about it because she added a seventh line below the six line tattoo corresponding to the coordinates of the birth place of each of her and actor Brad Pitt’s six children (Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne).

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt & 6 Kids: Big Happy Family!

The 35 year-old actress debuted her new ink during her latest U.N. goodwill trip to the Tunisia-Libya border this week. This immediately sparked rumors of a secret Jolie-Pitt gang expansion with the adoption of a new baby.

According to first reports, the newly inked coordinates were from a place in Algeria, which is absolutely stupid since they based their “educated guess” on a visible coordinate, the latitude, but they do not know the longitude.

InTouch offered us a more plausible explanation – the coordinates correspond to Brad Pitt’s birthplace in Oklahoma. This tattoo is supposed to be some sort of symbolic “wedding ring”. Angelina finally recognized Brad will always be a part of her life.

“It’s a little strange,” says Sara. “But after I tried it on, I thought, ‘I look good!’ ” The 32 year-old “Shedding For The Wedding” host is more comfortable than ever in her own body. That’s HOT.

Sara is now on a Jenny Craig maintenance plan, which includes cardio workouts four days a week and a 1,700-calorie-a-day diet. “It’s hard. It’s a struggle,” she says of keeping off the weight. “There are days where I’ll say, ‘I feel off the rails.’ But I don’t give myself excuses.”

The actress and her fiancé, Kevin Price, will be getting married in May. Sara, whose ABC Family movie “My Future Boyfriend” premieres on Sunday (April 10), promised she won’t be skipping the wedding cake on the most important day of her life.

“We’re having three kinds, including red velvet and pumpkin caramel,” Rue reveals. “I’ll be having one of each! Very small slivers of every kind is the way to go.”

In an interview for InTouch, Sara talked about her struggle with weight as a teen and young adult and explains how Kevin encouraged her to pose in a bikini now. Sara finally felt sexy.

“This is the first time in my life I’ve ever worn a bikini!” she says. “And it feels amazing!”

“At the beginning of the shoot, he was saying, ‘Baby, you look beautiful, you look great.’ And by the end, he was like, ‘You are hot!’ and he meant it, which made me feel so good,” she said.

“Being in a bikini is the ultimate challenge — and the last hurdle!”

Sara looks absolutely incredible. She is happy and glowing. Congratulations!

No Doubt’s Gwen Stefani, a singer/songwriter, mother-of-two and fashion designer married to Bush’s frontman Gavin Rossdale, is refreshingly elegant and classy yet sexy on the cover of the upcoming May 2011 issue of ELLE Magazine (pictures below).

Gwen Stefani Donates $1 Million To Japan Aid Efforts

The 41 year-old took over the world with her music, elegance and irreverent sense of style, but she refuses to be compared to hot new stars like Lady GaGa, Katy Perry or Rihanna. Why?

Gavin Rossdale Confirms Gay Affair With Marilyn, Peter Robinson

Gwen is a proud tomboy and she never forgets her pants at home. She is not trying to be a sex symbol/vixen, but admits to be vain. I wouldn’t call it vanity, but an impeccable sense of style.

Gavin Rossdale & Courtney Sexual Affair, Gavin Cheated On Gwen Stefani

Here are some highlights from Gwen Stefani’s ELLE Magazine interview:

On husband Gavin Rossdale: “The first time we ever kissed was right around Valentine’s Day; we were in New Orleans on tour. I always think about that because it’s unbelievable that we’ve been able to stay together. I feel so proud of us. It’s one of my biggest achievements.”

On vanity and pregnancy: “It was horrible. Certain songs would make me want to puke. You feel pretty gross when you are first pregnant. You don’t feel cute, you feel disgusting. You’re getting fat. It was hard. I mean, I’m very vain. That would be my middle name. Of course I am, you know what I mean? I love the visual.”

On whether Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Katy Perry have taken a page out of her playbook when it comes to style: “Really? I don’t see myself in those girls. I usually put pants on. I see these girls as more going for the sex-symbol thing. I was more, in the band, like a tomboy. Of course, I think every girl is sexy, so there’s going to be a little of that. But I see a lot of younger artists going more toward the sexy thing.”

On pop music:“When we were growing up, some of the hits were legendary ones that you hear your whole life. But certain songs, I don’t know if you’ll ever hear them again. Because that’s what that music is, like a guilty pleasure, it’s right at the moment. It’s like fashion—it’s now, then it’s gone.”

Someone must really love LiLo! Actress Lindsay Lohan, who is ready to go to trial for felony grand theft charges, has been offered the role of Sharon Tate, a pin-up actress who was brutally killed in her home by followers of Charles Manson back in 1969, in a new movie titled “Eyes Of a Dreamer”.

Lindsay Lohan’s “Theft” Surveillance Video Photos Leaked

The movie produced by Brad Wyman, best known for his work in Charlize Theron’s “Monster”, and directed by famed photographer Tyler Shields, will tell the story of murderer Charles Manson and how he conspired to commit the murders of a pregnant Sharon Tate, who was married to director Roman Polanski at the time, and Leno and his wife Rosemary LaBianca.

“We’ve worked together many, many times,” Shields tells EW. “She asked me about [Eyes] … And I said, ‘Oh you should be Sharon Tate.’ And she was like, ‘That would be amazing.’”

“Sharon Tate was a movie star,” he says. “So I want [an actress who] you already have a backstory with. People have a backstory with someone like Lindsay. And I think it’s very relatable.”

Tyler Shields wants to play the role of Charles Manson himself and admitted the movie is just a dream for now, but he plans to go all the way with the horrific images of the brutal murders.

Judge Warns Lindsay Lohan: “Next Time, NO Bail!”

“I’m just going to be directing people to do the craziest s— they’ve ever done,” he says. “[But] I’m going to find a way to do it where it doesn’t turn people off, but it gives you the feeling of it. I want this to really hit people in a really specific place.”

“Eyes Of a Dreamer” is expected to begin filming July 15, but what will happen if Lindsay isn’t available… just in case she actually goes to jail! “I don’t know,” Tyler says. “We have to shoot the movie this year, so I don’t know. We’ll have to cross that bridge when we come to it. Hopefully that’s not the case.”
