 Idol
Probe |
AP reports: Taking a page from Washington,
the producers of "American Idol" and Fox TV hired an independent counsel
to determine whether judge Paula Abdul had an affair with a contestant
on the hit talent show.
"Any allegations against this show we take
quite seriously," Fox Entertainment President Peter Liguori said Thursday,
calling the competition's credibility "extraordinarily important to us."
Liguori refused to say if Fox and producers
Fremantle Media and 19 Television would fire Abdul if the claims by Corey
Clark, an unsuccessful contestant on season two, were found to be true.

| Phil
Collins Vs Oasis |
Gigwise reports: Former Genesis star Phil
Collins has hit back at Liam and Noel after receiving a string of insults
from the brothers.
The singer and drummer moved from Britain
to Switzerland several years ago, and just before the latest general election
in May, Noel Gallagher urged the British public to vote Labour, saying:
"If the Tories (Conservatives) get in, Phil Collins is threatening to come
back and live here."
However, Collins maintains he doesn't even
vote Conservative, reports breaking news. He said: "Noel calls me the anti-Christ.
It frustrates me but who cares?
"I'm so flattered the Gallaghers have spent
a lot of time thinking about me. I've repaid the compliment. I've just
done the TV show Room 101 and they're both in it."
The BBC show Room 101 features celebrities
describing their pet hates. Look out for Phil dissing Liam and Noel on
it.- Click

Here we are at the final day of this special.
This has sparked some spirited debate. To those that got all bent out of
shape because a song they liked was listed here, you are taking this far
too seriously! It's a lame list of lame songs. Don't forget that
there is still time to make YOUR nominations to the lamest artists of all
time list. Going by some of the submissions so far, the reaction
to this list was tame, some of the names listed there will surely get some
people all up in arms. But always remember, just because it's lame doesn't
mean people don't like it. And of course, it's all very subjective now
isn't it? Before you get to the now full list, we leave you with the words
of George Bernard Shaw - "The secret to success is to offend the greatest
number of people."
10) Ice, Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice
"Quick to the point, to the point no faking
/ I'm cooking MC's like a pound of bacon" We'll just let this one speak
for itself.
