She got her teeth done? I was hoping she'd done something with the hair. She does have a beautiful smile now. If you're going to be in front of the cameras, you do need to look your best.

Her teeth certainly never bothered me before but if fixing them helps and makes her happy then that's great!

You know, when the show first stared her teeth really bugged me (I've fought dental problems my entire life so my teeth bother me so I would assume that her's bothered her too), but I grew to appreciate her for what she did instead of her appearance. Having said that, if it makes her happy then I'm glad she was able to get her teeth done.

She's probably "stick" with her hair for a while, just kind of like Jason Castro got stuck with his. I think the Idol people like for you to keep your "look" throughout the tour.

I'm just glad she posted it herself and didn't suddenly show up on tour with new teeth. If she had said nothing I imagine some snarky comments would be made. But she was all proud and owed it. Yay Crystal!!

I'll tell ya, if I could afford it I'd get my teeth fixed too. And my hubby's (he really needs some work done). If it helps her self-esteem and makes her feel better about herself, yay!

Out at my grammar in the above post...she's probably "stick" -- shouldn't that have been "stuck" -- DUH!

heads up if you are planning to go to the tour. Dates are being changed and some are being cancelled - so far Cleveland is confirmed, Buffalo and toronto possibilities.
I don't remember shows being cancelled in revious years, could be wrong.

I don't get that. That's even more random than Chris Isaac. Jessica Simpson has no singing career. Please, please, please just sign Harry!!!!

Last night on SYTYCD Nigel called the show American Idol. Somebody said he has been in discussions. I can't imagine him being on two talent shows at one time though.

Well, I see the news has made it over here, as I expected. I'm fine with Ellen not being back. To me she just didn't fit in. I think she might have done a great job in Ryan's shoes, but not so much as a judge IMHO.

This just worries me that the other recent rumor's are true....Elton John, Jessica Simpson etc. Esp since I also read that Kara is NOT under contract for this year. (They stopped short of saying she won't be back).

I think they need to get one hard hitting industry heavyweight. I think my first choice would be David Foster. I think he's the closest thing we have to Simon in terms of his history (he's been even more successful actually), his clout in the business etc. Then if Randy is leaving (yo yo who knows lolol), I'd say put a musician in his chair ie Brent Michaels, Harry Connick Jr or someone who will be musically supportive. I'd be very happy with either one of them. Not sure who should take the 3rd chair....clearly some female. I so hope Kara isn't back. I can't take anymore of her HUNS etc. I think they need to fill the other 2 seats and then see who would blend well with them.

Well, if this report is right, Ellen's seat has already been filled...by J Lo! Not sure I'm loving that (plus will there be enough judging money left over to get the folks I'd like to see in the other chairs???).

Not sure I"m buying the entire story, as they go on to say how badly Ellen wanted off because of Simon. While that may have been true at one point, he's sadly gone now. So how does it affect next season and her???? Makes no sense to me. I think she knew it wasn't working for her, and wanted out before she lost cred over it.

Here's the link to the original article...we'll see if it's true or not soon enough I'd think;

I'm rather "blah" about it. Not great, not horrid....just meh!

Hey Lurk <waves> I'm trying to discuss it in the Hollywood thread, lol. This thread gets so little traffic it depresses me. I've turned hardcore Idol follower so post elsewhere most of the time. :-)

I think down the road it'll be even more clear: Adam Lambert killed American Idol. They had nobody remotely interesting in this past season (I can't even remember the name of the guy who won), and it just won't be the same show without Simon. J Lo? No thanks. Can't stomach her. I think this will definitely be the last year for AI, if they even make it thru this season.

Have you looked at their ratings lately? Yes they are a lot lower but they are still massive. I guess they could crash completely but I suspect the curiosity factor with the new judges will keep people tuning in.

So, the new judging panel is Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Stephen Tyler and Nigel Lithgow?
Is Ryan Seacrest returning, or is he seriously being considered to replace Larry King?
I'd have preferred to see Harry Connick Jr. rather than Stephen Tyler, and in light of all the departures it might have been a good time for Randy to leave as well.. his "dawgs" are getting old...

Adam Lambert was the only talent I was ever excited about on AI.
