Haley Reinhart best dang Karaoke lounge singer on American Idol 2011?

[Apr. 13]

That Haley Reinhart… she is the breakout not-a-hit on American Idol 2011. While she loves to belt out a note, the chances are that she will be booted off the American Idol competition long before a record deal can even be seriously talked about. Judge Randy Jackson finally said what so many Americans were already thinking about Haley’s April 13th appearance — her blondie tune, while fun and lively, was amateur level at best and simply not up to par compared to the show’s other talents this season.

While everyone hopes American Idol hosts will discover a new Janis Joplin and early comparisons were made between Haley Reinhart and the deceased rock and roll legend, her voice and personality — while trying her best — bless her heart, just ain’t making it.

However, since Pia Toscano was sent home by call in voters last week, it seems no one on American Idol is safe this season.

The April 13th show showed all the competitors taking risks of one sort or another — except for Hailey Reinhart (whose only risk was her inability to bring it).

Stephen Tyler agreed with Randy Jackson. Jennifer Lopez agreed with Randy Jackson. Everyone who is a fan of real music agreed with Randy Jackson. Bottom line, when it comes to Haley Reinhart, although we like her personally and think she is probably a nice girl, she simply has got to go.

American Idol 2011: A star is born named Scotty McCreery say judges and fans?

A star is born named Scotty McCreery say judges?

[Apr. 13]

American Idol judge Randy Jackson says [win or lose] a star in born in young country music singer Scotty McCreery and the rest of the celebrity judges agree. Was his claim surprising? Not at all if you stop for a moment and realize that Scotty — who you can vote for by dialing 1-866-IDOLS-4 — is only seventeen.

Scotty rubbed the crowd just the right way all season long with his deep country crooner voice. The celebrity teen is not only darling, he really knows how to sing. Couple his artistic ability with an award winning Mr. Nice guy personality, let’s hope Scotty does not finish last.

Judges Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler don’t think he will — but after last week’s early loss of singer Pia Toscano there is no telling how the American phone in voting will go.

Want to follow Scotty McCreery on Twitter? You can.

Prior to the April 13th live performance, Scotty himself tweeted the following status updates through social media:

Jane Curtain reveals John Belushi secret misogynist?

[Apr. 13]

Deceased Baby Boomer John Belushi of (The Blues Brothers (1980) fame) was unfriendly to women, says green celebrity actress and comedienne Jane Curtin. The Saturday Night Live funny woman who got her first big break doing variety comedy on SNL, recently dished dirt about the dead celebrity to Oprah Winfrey. The result? She has ignited a celebrity scandal debate over whether or not Belushi was a sexist (who thought men were better than women) or really a misogynist (a man who has a deep seated hatred of women) hiding behind comedy and his famous face.

Jane Curtain recently appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, alongside such comedy powerhouses as Chevy Chase and Tina Fey. Curtin said 1975, following the women’s liberation movement of the 1960s, was not a friendly time in the workplace for women who were competing for the jobs once exclusively held by men.

Jane Curtin called the environment “misogynistic.” She noted that she couldn’t even get a credit card in 1975, because she “was a self-employed female. Things were very different. Women were not treated equally,” she told Oprah. and she lashed out specifically at John Belushi.

Celebrity Scandal: Sylvester Stallone fighting Hollywood auction fraud?

Sylvester Stallone fighting Hollywood auction fraud?

[Apr. 13] Breaking News —

When word that the gloves from Rocky, as worn by green celebrity Sylvester Stallone himself, would be hitting the auction block, Sly himself did a double-take. He says the gloves are not the originals, and he’s had his attorney send a cease and desist letter, according to TMZ.

This could be trouble for Profiles in History, which deals in memorabilia and planned to auction the Rocky gloves next month. Profiles in History has complied and says it will withdraw the gloves from auction, though it claims to be very certain the storied gloves are legitimate.

According to IMDb, in addition to the gloves supposedly worn by Sylvester Stallone in Rocky, also up for auction are the robe Jeff Bridges wore in The Big Lebowski, the tweed jacket worn by James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause, a handwritten letter from Walt Disney, an “everlasting gobstopper” from Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, and a golden calf from The Ten Commandments.

But among all these items, green celebrity Sylvester Stallone claims the gloves to be auctioned are not actually the gloves he wore in Rocky. And his lawyer, Marty Singer, has been very demanding in the cease and desist letter, insisting that any attempt by Profiles in History to continue marketing the gloves as those worn by Sylvester Stallone in Rocky will be met with a particularly powerful lawsuit for damages.

DWTS: Kirstie Alley modern dance version of a Cinderella story?

DWTS News!

Kirstie Alley new modern dance version of Cinderella story?

[Apr. 12]

Actress Kirstie Alley is having a little trouble on Dancing with the Stars, but she’s been recovering nicely, continuing to earn respectable scores from the judges. Last week, Maksim Chmerkovskiy had a fall during the Rumba to the tune of Over the Rainbow, taking Kirstie Alley down with him, but they recovered. Kirstie Alley joked that she’d wind up having a wardrobe malfunction, which wound up happening. During this week’s Waltz, the Cheers and Who’s Talking Now actress lost a shoe.

While Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy make it seem almost effortless to recover from some bizarre mishaps the last couple of weeks, it starts to make one wonder if Kirstie Alley is just jinxed this season on Dancing with the Stars. Really. The 60-year-old actress and subject of innumerable jibes at her up-and-down issues with weight started off the show with incredible grace.

But like Cinderella, it seems Kirstie Alley, no matter how amazing and talented, can’t seem to get away from the curse on her. If it’s not fat actress jokes, which she brushes off, willing even to laugh at herself, then it’s a fall (for which Maksim Chmerkovskiy takes complete responsibility) or a lost shoe. Poor Cinderella.

But her prince, Maksim, seems there, ready to sweep her off her feet over and over, and the couple has proved remarkably resilient to any trouble that comes their way. It would be a real shame to lose a vote to something so simple, but given the simple grace with which she accepted the mishap (except for lobbing the F-bomb in an after-show interview) it’s hard to believe anyone would fault the couple for the slip.

DWTS: Mark Ballas and Chelsea Kane magical Harry Potter Waltz enchanted?

To heck with the judges scores, thought professional dancer and choreographer Mark Ballas when he created an enchanted waltz theme for celebrity contestant Chelsea Kane. Gorgeous. Beautiful.

Len can say whatever he wants about the routine wrecking 300 years of traditional waltz interpretation, but Bruno and Carrie Ann carried the sentiment with the night, agreeing that Team Kanenball’s routine was “magical”.
