If you’ve been following the celeb news today you’ve probably already heard about the Paula Abdul fan who was found dead near Abdul’s home on Tuesday night. While reading MJ’s I found out that she actually auditioned in season 5. I totally remember this girl! This is so sad.

You know, I always loved Ace Young and his “giving” ways….

Michael Johns from American Idol singing Total Eclipse of the Heart with The Dan Band. I can totally see this video going viral. Freaking hilarious. I love MJ!

I thought this was really cute.

Taylor Hicks is used to being the object of adoring fans – but when the Jonas Brothers made a TV appearance in New York, the American Idol swapped roles.

Hicks, who is currently starring in Grease on Broadway, couldn’t resist partaking in Jonas Brothers mania with thousands of other fans outside of the Live With Regis & Kelly studios in New York City Thursday morning, he told PEOPLE.

“Once I arrived and saw all the Jonas Brothers fans, I got in on the screaming. We were all having a great time out there,” said Hicks, who grabbed a sign from a fan and proudly held it up when the band arrived for the show. “We were all just being fans and that’s a cool thing.”

Asked if he’s really a true fan, he told PEOPLE “I am!”

“What they do is awesome because it gets kids into music,” said Hicks who was at the ABC studio to tape a performance of “Beauty School Dropout” for the show’s Broadway Week celebration, to air on Friday

I am so happy that David Cook won AI last night. This was probably the most emotional winning moment AI has ever had. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a contestant break down like that. He sooo deserved it. I have to admit that I thought David Archuleta had it in the bag, though. His fans did too. That is the smuggest (is that a real word?) bunch fans I’ve ever encountered on the AI boards. Don’t worry Archies. Disney will snatch him up and he’ll probably get his own tv show and become the next Hannah Montana or whatever. Little Archie will be fine. But I’ll be buying Michael Johns CD. How freaking hot was he last night. OMGZ.

Jeff Archelta, the stage Dad from hell, has officially been banned from backstage and rehearsals at American Idol. He’s allowed to sit in the audience and that’s it. Why? Because he made little Archie add some lyrics from Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girl” to his performance of “Stand By Me” last week. The problem with this is that the song was not cleared and now AI has legal fees to deal with.

Jeff Archuleta’s intense backstage involvement had become a source of concern for the series, the person connected with “American Idol” said — but it was a lyric change on Tuesday’s show that pushed producers to act.

Despite a warning, Jeff Archuleta insisted on altering “Stand by Me,” one of two songs his son sang on the show Tuesday. By adding a verse from Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls,” the father incurred additional costs for “American Idol,” the person said. Read Full Article.

Do you think this will hurt Archie’s chances at winning American Idol? I don’t. I think his fans will vote even harder now. My money is on David Cook, though.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen him get so flustered!

Both of my celebrity boyfriends were in attendance at the White House Correspondence Dinner last night. Looks like they got together and decided to dress like twins.

American Idol contestant (he was robbed!), Michael Johns

I had a mini-freakout today because I found out that the American Idol Live Tour is coming to my town on 8/26! This is the first time the show has come here. I went to a show in Dallas 2 years ago for season 5 and had a blast. Got to meet Ace Young, Chris Daughtry and all the others. So much fun!

And the best part is that the show will be here on my daughter’s 10th birthday. She is so excited. She invited her best friend and her mom (who, thank God, is an AI Freak like me) and they’ve got it all planned out. They will be making a big sparkely poster that says “Today Is My Birthday”. We will be checking the kids out of school early that day to go stalk the Idol at the venue. They always come out and meet fans by the bus area. OMFG I’m gonna meet Michael Johns!

Check out the American Idol Live Tour Dates after the jump. All tickets go on sale to the public on 5/17 at 10am.
