Scoop from Wednesday's show...

Here’s some scoop from Wednesday’s show…

With only five minutes to airtime, none of the judges were anywhere to be found. The stage manager asked Sharon Osbourne, who was in the audience, if she would fill in, but with just minutes to spare, they showed up…

Chris Sligh was in the audience and Leah Remini (“The King of Queens”) asked him to pose for pictures with her…

Jennifer Lopez’s performance was so hot, the stage manager ordered all the doors in the studio opened to release the smoke afterward, and the judges’ makeup had to be touched up during the break…

Pink taped a performance for “Idol Gives Back” after the show. I find it interesting that she’s willing to perform, but she’s not willing to clear her songs…

Nigel Lythgoe announced more stars for the “Idol Gives Back” lineup, including Micky Dolenz of the Monkees, who was in the audience Tuesday night…

Jennifer Lopez said that Simon told her that she gave “the best performance ever on ‘American Idol.’” She told “Entertainment Weekly,” “Isn’t that amazing? Coming from him? I’ll take it”…

J-Lo’s husband, Marc Anthony, lip-synched a rendition of the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive” after the show. It was recorded as part of an “Idol Gives Back” charity project in which multiple stars sing along to the song. It will be available to download at a later date…
