The Whole Delivery

Photo from Reuters Well, they certainly will be scrambling for people next year, won't they ? There were four "American Idol" judges, then three, and now two. Fox said Thursday that Ellen DeGeneres is leaving America’s top-rated reality show, effective immediately, meaning she will not appear at the auditions this summer or on the show next winter. She joins Simon Cowell, who departed at the end of season nine in May. Earlier today, the music thread featured this tidbit about Diddy possibly replacing Simon . Now they will have to fill a second hold. Could they call upon the services of one Betty White? Only time will tell, though i just threw her name out there to just be ridiculous.

This kid is on the rise and thensome: At first, I thought he was just doing a parody of Lady Gaga. But it turns out that this 13 year old is oh so serious. And here he is on Ellen: We have the new Justin Bieber folks.

First music thread today, here it is. This has been music's biggest news of the day, this Michael Jackson's "This Is It" video footage. Yayyy, Goodie Mob reunites ! For who care, Killer Mike changes his name . Fall album preview from Rolling Stones there. Some people literally cared about Fabolous and Bow Wow's Twitter war today......Sad. And though I'm late, it was kind of funny for Paula to imitate Ellen , although it was kind of almost tasteless at first thought tho (and kind of hateful). Will having Lil Wayne on this track save Amerie's career? To be honest, it sounds horrible, especially the chorus. More to come.
