By matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) We love Adam Lambert, but the guy has to give Kris Allen a break. First, he received more publicity than Allen after American Idol, even though the latter actually won. Now, Lambert has the nerve to start dating Ferras Alqaisi and really steal the spotlight from Kris. For shame!

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) We assumed the American Idol singer was referring a random person in the future, but who were we kidding? No way Adam Lambert can remain single for long! However, it was soon replaced by a Ruben Studdard song. Fortunately, Ferras has found his revenge: forget a tune on American Idol; he's go...

By steve@thehollywoodgossip.com (Free Britney) Back in the day, Katharine McPhee finished second on American Idol (believe it or not, Chris Daughtry lost to both her and Taylor Hicks) and was known for her gorgeous looks as well as her musical talent. Term used semi-loosely.

By steve@thehollywoodgossip.com (Free Britney) Kris Allen won American Idol. More incredibly, Adam Lambert did not win American Idol. On a side Idol note, an odd bikini battle took place. Shawn Johnson won Dancing With the Stars. More incredibly, Melissa Rycroft did not win Dancing With the Stars. Oh well, she's still hot. Speaking of Meliss...

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) American Idol will crown its eighth champion tonight. But, first, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen each had a few chances to leave viewers with a winning impression. Let's review each finalist's renditions from last night...

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) As Adam Lambert has been singing his socks off, and his heart out, for weeks on American Idol, our staff has been singing the praises of this unique contestant.

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) American Idol rocked last night, but, in the end, it was business as usual on this show: Adam Lambert ruled! As we rundown each finalist's rock 'n roll routine, we're gonna ignore the duets between Lambert and Allison Iraheta, and Danny Gokey and Kris Allen, because they were nothing more...

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) What an impressive evening of American Idol auditions. It's like watching the Olympics and you're our Michael Phelps," Paula Abdul said, in her most coherent critique of the night. Adam Lambert, Feeling Good Kris Allen Performance

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) Allison Iraheta, who chose the Donna Summer song, “Hot Stuff," changed up the arrangement and, once again, belted out a classic like a veteran star, as opposed to the 16-year old she is. Danny Gokey did his usual (impressive) thing with a sultry version on Earth, Wind & Fire’s “Septemb...

By steve@thehollywoodgossip.com (Free Britney) American Idol fans weren’t the only ones shocked and disappointed by the surprise elimination of early favorite Alexis Grace Wednesday night. The news was particularly hard for the pink-haired hopeful to swallow as it means she just missed making the cut for this summer’s American Idol...

By steve@thehollywoodgossip.com (Free Britney) But she didn't knock that out of the park either. Randy, Simon, Paula and Kara huddled together to discuss her fate, and decided it wasn't good enough. Then follow the jump for a video of our own Carrie Underwood and country legend Randy Travis "I Told You So" on the eighth season of American Id...

By mischalova Jennifer Hudson is an Academy Award winner and an American Idol finalist. So, why won’t Barack Obama call her?!? “I sang for Obama after I did Idol,” Hudson said in an interview with E!. “I’m so proud and excited for him. I haven’t gotten a call from them yet, but he does have my support.” Seriousl...

By mischalova In between last week’s performances and tonight’s big final four showdown, David Archuleta, David Cook and Jason Castro all befriended a dolphin, of whom we’re guessing millions of teenage girls are jealous… Tonight, these three will join Syesha Mercado on stage for the latest set of A...

By mischalova 5. Jason Castro: Apologies to Amanda Overmyer and Carly Smithson, either of whom could be in the spot. But Casto deserved props after taking the stage last week with his guitar and delivering a sweet, understated version of the Lovin’ Spoonful hit ”Daydream.”
