As you all well know, “American Idol” begins tonight…
But before we get there, let me give you some more scoop on what we’ll see in the coming weeks…
An hour will be added to the Hollywood Round. That’s good news since the contestants get second chances and they’re allowed to play instruments. The Hollywood Round has always been my favorite part, but it could be especially good this year…
The show will visit the finalists’ hometowns and interview family and friends earlier so we can get to know them quicker…
In addition to a new set, the show will have a new opening credits sequence. The theme song, however, will remain the same…
I honestly am not sure at this point how my posts will work during these first weeks, but just be patient. I’ll get them up at some point…
Let the fun begin!

Cruel Shoes
Cruel Shoes -take it or leave it?
I just thought that these stuff were very uncomfortable to wear.. What do you think? This is the latest haute couture footwear designs from Japan and Italy.. Would you buy em for the sake of fashion? Or just leave em?

The Scoop on Paula's Comeback
Of course, it would be my scoop hero, Michael Ausiello, that would give us the first details on Paula’s comeback.
According to Ausiello, Paula is “in talks” to actually perform during FOX’s Super Bowl telecast. Ausiello also reports that Paula is already in rehearsals for the video to the song which he is calling a “duet” with Randy Jackson. It will be the first single from his upcoming “Music Club Vol. 1” CD.
I love it when I’m right…
Since the FOX promos say that Paula and Randy are introducing the single, I was just guessing that they’d show the video. And I’m guessing that’s what they’ll still do if this performance thing doesn’t pan out.
Personally, I think the performance is a HUGE risk. Stick with the video, Paula. You always knew how to make those…

A Preview of Season 7...
This week’s “TV Guide” cover story is a preview of season seven.
And because I read the magazines so you don’t have to, here are the highlights…
Simon says it’s “the most talented bunch we’ve ever had.” Don’t they say that every year?...
Simon also says last year “just wasn’t good enough. I don’t remember hardly anyone [from] last year.” Don’t worry, Simon. I’m sure Jordin will be back to remind you as soon as she can…
San Diego was the strongest audition city…
There will be no fourth judges during auditions this year, much to Simon’s—and my—delight…
No one was cut during the first two days of Hollywood Week. Those who were deemed good enough went straight to the final Hollywood round, while the others were given a second chance. More Hollywood drama! Yea! Let’s just hope they actually show it this year…
There will be a new, bigger stage. Is that to wash out the stench of failure from “The Next Great American Band”? I really hope they don’t adopt all of those “Band” computer graphics…
Unfortunately, the article made no mention of Paula’s new single. What? I’m excited about that…
As if I have to remind you, “Idol” premieres Tuesday, January 15th at 8 p.m. on FOX…

Is Simon Ready to Move On?
In a conference call with reporters, Simon said he may leave “Idol” when his contract expires in two years.
“The public eventually are gonna get sick to death of me. Nine years is probably enough to inflict on anyone. Can the show exist without me? Absolutely. It would probably get better.”
I seriously doubt that…

Another Deal Bites the Dust
Add Katherine McPhee to the list of Idols no longer with the Sony BMG family.
An RCA rep told “Entertainment Weekly” that Kat “is going to record her next album on her own.”
“Katharine McPhee” has sold 366,000 copies, according to “Billboard.”
However, Kat may not have that much to worry about. “EW” reports that she is already in talks with another label. And she’ll make her film debut later this year in the Adam Sandler-produced “I Know What Boys Like” starring Anna Faris.
An RCA Music Group (which is part of Sony BMG) rep told “EW,” “After six seasons, we are proud of the eight artists on the roster who started their careers on the show. With respect to Taylor, we have an understanding that he will come back to us to play music once he’s finished writing his new material.”
Huh?
By the way, those eight artists are: Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, Fantasia, Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, Kellie Pickler, Jordin Sparks, and Blake Lewis.
In an interview about the upcoming season, Simon Cowell said about all the lost deals, “It’s a reflection on the unpredictability of the record business. Fortunately, we got it right more than we got it wrong…There’s no scientific way to explain what happens. It’s a reality show and what happens at the end is also reality.”
About Jordin and Blake’s low sales, he said, “Am I surprised? Not particularly…The public decided it’s not necessarily what they wanted, so we have to try to do better this year”…

Spring 2008 Ready to Wear Chanel – Runway Fashion Show
Here's the Collections of Ready to Wear Chanel Runway fashion show.. It was called Nuits d'Été, which gave some clue to at least a few of the dozen or so things that were going on at Chanel. Summer Nights, Grease, fifties Americana? Maybe that would explain the opening of blue-jean everything, from jackets to trenches, wide-leg jeans to dungarees, and, yes, bathing costumes! Enjoy the pictures!
