American Idol 2012: Did Lady Gaga ‘Bad Romance’ end Colton Dixon?
When the bottom two were Hollie Cavanagh and Colton Dixon, viewers and the judges were shocked to hear that he — not she — had been voted off American Idol 2012 by America. Dixon apologized to the judges, said he would pay attention to their criticisms when he’s making an album, and kept his head up defiantly throughout the elimination process.

American Idol 2012: Phillip Phillips object of Jennifer Lopez affections?
Phillip Phillips took to the American Idol 2012 stage on April 18 and managed to fluster celebrity judge Jennifer Lopez with his sexy vocals.

The Oscars 2012: Famous celebrity couples, award show scandals, and OOPS
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. And Oprah Winfrey and her “girls” bobbled out across the stage to make a special guest appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel show after the Academy Awards. She’s gained back some wait, but lucky for her, it seems to have all gone to her chest. Her incredibly flattering gown set the standard for what an Oscar Nominee or Academy Award Winner should look like in a dress. Keep reading…
Justin Bieber singing Let It Be by The Beatles created huge controversy?
Pop music singer Justin Bieber rang in the New Year with a performance at Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with hosts Dick Clark, Ryan Seacrest and Jenny McCarthy in Times Square in New York City. Among the other hits he sang, the Biebs did a cover of one of the most iconic rock bands in the history of the world.

But people were critical of him singing the song. It actually sparked the first music controversy of the 2012 year. Why did people think he was wrong to sing it? Keep Reading…
