Adam Lambert Wanted His Album Cover To Look Like That, Honest
The artwork for Adam Lambert's new album For Your Entertainment has already kicked up one hell of a fuss. Why? It's simple. It looks like one of those awful transfer-print T-shirts that people who like wolves buy from tatty market stalls. It looks like something that the redneck wife of a professional wrestling fan would airbrush onto the back of her leather jacket. It looks like a poster that someone you hate would buy. It's bizarre. But it's OK, because Adam Lambert says it's all deliberate. Unfortunately it means that Kris Allen's new album artwork will now probably show him covered in glitter and bumming a unicorn, but we'll deal with that when we have to.

Adam Lambert’s Whiny New Song Leaked Onto The Internet
A warning: if you don't like fat teenage girls with silly emo haircuts and black nail polish, stay inside during November. They'll be out in force. Not only is New Moon coming out - which, let's face it, would be bad enough by itself - but it's also when For Your Entertainment, the first album from stupid-haired screeching emo vampire American Idol loser Adam Lambert, is being released. And Adam Lambert's first single has just been leaked onto the internet. It's called Time For Miracles. So long as that miracle involves the entire internet being deleted just to stop us from hearing it, we couldn't agree more.

American Idol? Ahh, Don’t Even Bother, Says Ex-Contestant!
Hands up who remembers Chris Sligh from American Idol. Anyone? No? Fine. To refresh your leaking memory he was the fat guy with the glasses, who made it through mainly because he had a moderately good sense of humour, which papered over the cracks of his rather less impressive singing voice. He looked like Jack Osbourne. He also loved Jesus. Far more, it seems, than he loves American Idol these days. Writing on his blog, the tubby singer thought it high time he put paid to this ridiculous notion that a talent show will reap any kind of reward, as he ripped into a tirade of startlingly obvious home truths, telling future contestants what it's really like when the spotlight fades.

Ellen Degeneres Gets Paula Adul’s Idol Job, Practices Blathering
Our favourite part of watching American Idol has always been crying under the couch with our fingers knuckle-deep in our ears anytime someone holding our remote control decides to check it out. Our least favourite part of watching the show has always been the aural bleeding. Admittedly that's probably because our un-filed fingers had just been jammed in there, but still, in our head we blamed Paula Abdul. Now that blame will have to shift to Ellen DeGeneres. She, apparently, is Abdul's new full-time, permanent replacement.

Paula Abdul To Host Some Show You’ll Never Watch
We knew it was a good idea for Paula Abdul to leave American Idol! The big time is hers for the taking now! And it certainly doesn't get any bigger than VH1 Divas! True, you might not have ever heard of VH1 Divas, but that's only because it's so big that it's completely invisible to the naked eye, like oxygen or God or whatever. Or because it's embarrassingly small and nobody cares about it except the people directly involved with it, and even then it's only because they've been paid. One or the other. Anyway, Paula Abdul's hosting that. Woo!

Paula Abdul: The Crashingly Inescapable American Idol Comeback
Paula Abdul's bad decisions have included singing with a cartoon cat, marrying Emilio Estevez and speaking in public. But quitting American Idol? That was her worst decision of all. And we don't say that lightly - this is a woman who deliberately got married to Emilio Estevez, for crying out loud. Anyway, it seems that the flurry of interest that swamped Paula Abdul's departure from American Idol has now crawled to a trickle, And Paula now reportedly wants her old job back. Phew, it's good that Simon Cowell is so famously compassionate, isn't it? This could have got pretty awkward otherwise.

Everyone Wants Paula Abdul To Babble & Slur For Them
Paula Abdul has always been a free agent - you can't constrain her with things like rules or basic human logic. But now she really is free. She's free of the American Idol machine, with its cynical attitude to creativity and willingness to give her millions of dollars for doing hardly anything. Apparently Paula Abdul could now be snapped up by So You Think You Can Dance, although she's probably holding out for So You Think You Can Stare Off Into Space For Great Stretches Of Time While Softly Giggling At A Joke That Only You Can Hear. She's got expertise there.

American Idol: Victoria Beckham Is The New Paula Abdul, Upsettingly
Replacing Paula Abdul on American Idol will be tricky - producers need to find someone vivacious, warm and emotional. But for now they'll stick with Victoria Beckham. She's not really any of those things - in fact she's a sour-faced android, so she's the precise opposite - but she is available. We can't overstate that enough. Victoria Beckham is always available for work. Always. Victoria Beckham will temporarily replace Paula Abdul on the new American Idol. So will Katy Perry, in what appears to be a stipulation on Victoria's part to ensure that she isn't the crappiest thing about the new American Idol.
