American Idol 2012: Will Jessica Sanchez battle Reed Grimm in the end?
American Idol 2012 has some fierce competitors but early predictions about which of the men and women have what it takes to go all the way to the end have already begun. Since the folks at Fox split the top 24 into a girls team and a boys team, people are wondering which of the men could be a competitor and which of the women will have the strength to compete with the boys.

But the dynamic duos that are being talked about the most are actually sets of celebrity boobs. Jennifer Lopez, the actress and singer who is a judge on American Idol and mother of twins by Latin singer (and estranged husband Marc Anthony), had a wardrobe malfunction.

Steven Tyler stole American Idol contestants’ spotlight again? (Bad Boy)
Aerosmith frontman and American Idol judge Steven Tyler has been one of the most talked about rock stars in modern music history. Tyler has stayed in the spotlight quite a bit in recent weeks, not for a new song release, but for representing the image of the rock and roll bad boy. The bad boy image carries a price, even for a 63 year old rocker who has mellowed over time. Whether he’s responding to groupie girls who lavish him with attention or he’s wise-cracking jokes that were funny when the Baby Boomer was just a twenty-something Bad Boy, he is making viewers tune in to FOX. Want to know what wild things he said this week? Keep reading..
