This Makes Me Feel Bad

Poor Sanjaya - he got booed at a Dodgers game on the weekend! Star Magazine is reporting that when the camera man saw Sanjaya in the crowd and put his face up on the screen, everyone booed.

At first he smiled, he seemed to like the attention. But when the entire crowd at the stadium started to boo–and it was loud!–his smile faded a bit and his eyes looked sad.

Really people, this is unnecessary!! He's only 17 and on a reality show. He really doesn't deserve that kind of a reception when he's out on the weekend having a bit of fun (although I thought those crazy Idol kids were kept busy 24/7?) I guess he's finding out the hard way the price of instant fame?

Update: TMZ has the Idol's schedule! After reading this I'm beginning to wonder if this story is even true - Sanjaya wouldn't have time to go to a ballgame!!!

And talking about baseball games - did anyone catch Jennifer Hudson singing the National Anthem at the Jackie Robinson Memorial Game last night? Not only was it a horrible arrangement of the National Anthem, Jennifer was wearing what looked like a white nightgown that was too short!! It was atrocious!. I'm searching feverishly for a photo!

Mysteries Of the Day

You are Mario Vasquez. You have just been voted into the top 12 of American Idol. Then you go into the bathroom and DO THIS! When someone complains about it, you lie and say you're so fabulous you are just going to up and leave the competition!

Why Antonella Barba keeps giving interviews is a mystery to me. She just sounds stupider and stupider!

Jennifer Hudson has signed a contract with Avon to be the spokesperson for the Imari fragrance brand. Apparently Jennifer said "... to partner with Avon is really a dream come true for me. It's exciting to be representing the Imari brand, which really embodies confidence and femininity." I'm finding it hard to believe that anyone would dream that one day they could be a spokesperson for Avon, especially when they just won an Oscar.

Viacom is suing YouTube for posting unauthorized content, which has had over $1.5 billion hits. I don't get it at all. Wouldn't you think that if people saw little clips of your shows on YouTube interest would be created and then a bitter audience would actually tune into the show? I would. Viacom's just pissed because they didn't think of YouTube first.

Simon Cowell: Jennifer Hudson Doesn't Owe Me an Apology

Let's Bite The Hand That Feeds Us

I'll never understand why these people who have been on American Idol or won American Idol immediately try and distance themselves from the show once they have signed their recording contracts. I can guarantee that if Jennifer Hudson had not been on Idol and had weeks and weeks of exposure she would not be polishing her Oscar right now. Carrie Underwood is the only Idol alumni that actually thanks the show when she wins an award.

The latest controversy is Jennifer Hudson bad mouthing Simon Cowell all over the place. Extra TV has put together a nice montage of Simon praising Jennifer Hudson when she was on Idol. A couple of days ago on LA Fox 11 news Jennifer said: “He wasn’t[a fan]; someone should rewind the tapes.”

'Despite Jennifer’s claims of Simon abuse, Mr. Mean has consistently shot back at Hudson, pointing out, “We put Jennifer Hudson on ‘American Idol.’ The American audience voted her out; I didn’t kick Jennifer Hudson out.” '

I'm a huge American Idol fan and the only time I remember Simon being outright mean to Jennifer was when she wore this pink number, and Simon was quite nasty about the outfit.

My adivce to current Idols: there is nothing wrong with crediting the most popular show on TV and listing to Simon, he's the only one that makes any sense. Randy and Paula are incoherent!


In other Idol news, apparently the more religious contestants are freezing out Antonella Barba over the slutty photos and just sitting around waiting for her to be voted out!

And there is a big brou ha ha brewing over Idol's double standards!

Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer Hudson waits for the mother ship:

The Incredible Shrinking Jennifer Hudson

Is it just me, or has Jennifer Hudson lost a lot of weight? Check out these three side by side photos. I think she always looks great but it sure appears that she has been making some changes. Getting ready for a big Oscar win perhaps?

American Idols...

Jennifer Hudson looking glam in Roberto Cavalli. She looks like she's lost weight since the Golden Globes!

Carrie Underwood, Grammy Winner for Best Country Vocal at the pre-Grammy's looked stunning on the Red Carpet, but did throw a hissy fit when she got something in her hair, while talking to Ryan Seacrest.

Oscar Nominations Announced - Dreamgirls Shutout!!!

Minutes ago the Oscar Nominations were announced. Jennifer Hudson was nominated for Best Supporting Actress and Eddie Murphy was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, both for Dreamgirls, but the movie was shut out of the Best Picture and Best Director categories. Another surprise nominee for Best Actor was Mark Wahlberg, for The Departed.

That very, very strange sound you are hearing is Beyonce screaming and ripping off her wig. I bet she can't believe that Jennifer Hudson was nominated, especially after Beyonce lost 20 pounds on a liquid diet, for the role. And Beyonce, have the good grace to congratulate Jennifer next time you see her!
