Can Jennifer Lopez handle American Idol?


"I can't do this anymore, " said Jennifer Lopez as she wept, while voting to kick off Chris Medina. This is all new to me," the singer explained to Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Thursday, according to People Magazine. "I'm used to having a script in a movie, or a big performance with a cane and a microphone, and I have all kinds of stuff going on ... You're [not always] getting me."

Looks like it's all-out drama in the newest season of American Idol. I've got nothing against it, but I think they should have a judge with balls much like Simon Cowell. It takes a lot of guts and a lot of confidence to be able to boot someone out and say to their face that they won't make it. And sometimes some people just can't handle it. It's too bad that Jennifer Lopez is having a hard time. I think she's a great artist and can probably spot a star when she sees/ hears it better than previous judges, but if the pressure is just affecting her like that maybe this isn't the job for her - right?

American Idol is also quite the heart wrencher, bringing in all these sensational stories about people's past. Of course people will be vulnerable to seeing someone physically disabled or have someone in their life who's sick. The great back stories are being put way up front and can cloud people's judgement on who really has talent.

New Filipina YouTube Sensation - Maira Aragon Meets Ellen Degeneres

Apparently 10-year-old Maria Aragon met Lady Gaga after singing her rendition of her newest song "Born This Way" and got 14 million hits on Youtube. Now she's on Ellen Degeneres and even got to talk to Lady Gaga.




And this is the video of Maria Aragon talking to Lady Gaga on Hot 103. I'm not sure if Lady Gaga is just such a congenial artist or her marketing team is just so darn attentive to who's at the top of Youtube visits

Buy Justin Bieber's Hair for a Good Cause

The famous male/ female teen sensation - Justin Bieber. I'm sorry, he sounds like a girl sometimes but I'm told he's male and a lot of girls crazy about him for some reason, so here we go. Let's make his hair a commodity.

Now that he finally got a haircut. I swear sometimes I think he had something growing on his head. He actually looks cute. Apparently his hair is being sold on internet auction site eBay for charity. Cue all the screaming girls!

Reports are in that his locks are listed on the internet auction site with the current top bid at $7,200. Now that's a lot of disposable income! The sale is said to end March 2 and the unusual item has so far attracted interest from 61 users. Ellen deGeneres was pretty smart to have put them on sale after receiving it as a gift in last week's show. Good thing she's lesbian and doesn't find them as appealing.

According to the article, he said, 'That's my hair. I'm giving pieces of it to different people. We're doing something special. We want you to donate it to whatever charity you want to.'DeGeneres is donating all proceeds from the auction to animal rescue foundation The Gentle Barn.

Here's a before and after shot of Justin Bieber's haircut

New Battered Pics of Rihanna?

It's funny how just as Chris Brown gets a break from his restraining order against ex-battered girlfriend Rihanna. Not sure what's real or not, but the timing sure is impeccable. Just as a background, the 21-year-old R&B star Chris Brown was convicted just right before the Grammy Awards last 2009.

Here she is all battered and bruised:
