New American Idol!..

Yay!..my favourite Kris took the title!!..


American Idol' season 8 has drawn a little less than 100 million votes, which in majority favor the victory of Arkansas native Kris Allen over Adam Lambert.

The time has come to appoint the new winner of "American Idol". Slightly less than 100 million votes were cast for both Adam Lambert and Kris Allen, and according to DialIdol.com, only a few votes separated the two that it is difficult to foresee who will be the winner.

The result show on Wednesday, May 13 was opened with Ryan Seacrest welcoming back Adam and Kris on the stage. Right after that, a video about the judges was played before the Top 13, all in white outfits, performed Pink's "So What". As previously reported, the show was to be visited by many guest performers and the first to take the stage was last season's "Idol" champion, David Cook. He sang "Permanent" that was dedicated to his late brother and can be purchased with benefits going to cancer research.

Before the ultimate title was given, "Idol" has prepared a Golden Idol Award that is granted to most eccentric auditions this year. Nick Mitchell won. The contestant who managed to be in the Top 36 round said that he didn't know he would get on stage, but then he ripped off his clothes to reveal his alter ego Norman Gentle. He sang "And I'm Telling You" and the crowd went wild. Queen Latifah took over the mic, making a duet with Lil Rounds for "Cue the Rain", and then Anoop Desai, Alexis Grace and Jason Mraz came as a piece backed up by the rest of the Top 13.

A montage of Kris' journey from the beginning to Tuesday's performance was played before he in person appeared on stage for a duet with Keith Urban on "Kiss a Girl". And now, the female contestants of Top 13 belted out "Glamorous", a song by Stacy Ferguson aka Fergie who later joined them in the middle. Fergie then sang a solo and later joined by Black Eyed Peas.

The Golden Idol Awards was back and Katrina Darrell aka Bikini Girl won the Best Attitude. She too, performed before judge Kara DioGuardi joined her in the middle. Allison Iraheta brought up "Time After Time" with the original singer, Cyndi Lauper. Kris and Adam's parents were then interviewed by Ryan. Danny Gokey sang "Hello" and predictably Lionel Richie popped up to sing a couple of his songs including "All Night Long".

Time to peek on Adam's journey from the audition to the finale. He then took the stage, singing "Beth" by KISS and joined by the band themselves on "Detroit Rock City" and "Party All Night". Next performance came from Carlos Santana and a few of the Top 13 on "Black Magic Woman" and "Smooth". And then there was Michael Sarver, Megan Joy, and Steve Martin doing bluegrass. Sarver once again took the stage for "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" with the men of Top 13 and Rod Stewart.

Another Golden award: Tatiana del Toro won Outstanding Female and she hopped on the stage trying to sing while Ryan said they were running out of time. There was a comic timing in the two of them before the commercial break took over. When the show was back, Kris and Adam joined forces in "We Are the Champion" and the actual Queen appeared along with the Top 36.

It was down to the business, Ryan Seacrest was about to announce the new winner of "American Idol". But first he talked to Simon Cowell who said that both finalists are great and incredible singers. And the winner of "American Idol" season 8 is Kris Allen. He said in awe, "Adam deserves this. I'm sorry," then cried on his wife's shoulder.

Chyler Leigh welcomes a new???...

Yes! Chyler from the Grey's Anatomy welcomes a new...little-cutie baby!!..

Read on what Eonline said:

The Grey's Anatomy family welcomed a bouncing baby girl to the fold yesterday morning, but no, this is not a twist to the show's season finale. No McBaby here. We're talking about actress Chyler Leigh's (Dr. Lexie Grey) real-life baby.

According to her rep, Chyler and her husband, Nathan West, welcomed daughter Anniston Kae at 7:12 a.m. yesterday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The baby weighed in at 7 pounds, 1 ounce. "Both mother and child are healthy," says her rep.

The new bambino has two siblings: Noah Wilde, age 5, and Taelyn Leigh, age 2.

The Grey's Anatomy season finale airs May 14.

New show on Disney...JONAS BROTHERS!

Okay i'm excited..totally excited..
*ehem* not for these three.. but for the semi-docu-comedy about their rumors..haha

The Jonas Brothers are venturing into television territory tonight with the premiere of their new Disney semi-docu-comedy JONAS and—we can't believe we're actually saying this—it's pretty fun.

Obviously created for those who love guys of the Kevin, Joe and Nick variety, the boys take time to tease about the personas the media has given them over the past few years. In fact, the premiere centers on Nick as a lovelorn Romeo, the littlest bro who falls in love too often (cue Miley Cyrus-Selena Gomez feud talk--again.)

There are cutesy musical numbers and some cheesy dialogue, but those JoBros can do no wrong. Most of the jokes are tongue-in-cheek, showing that these boys can roll with the punches and laugh at themselves.

In fact at one point, Joe tells Nick, "You're not dumb, you're just really intense, which is sad for you but lucky for us because we get great songs out of it." Well said, Joe. Well said.

New Time Magazine's 100..and Zac did make it to the list..

Two days, two 100-strong lists of movers, shakers and genetically blessed stars...not a whole lot of overlap between the two.

But leave it to the man-boy who can send both tweens and cougars into a tizzy of equal measure to straddle the divide—just one day after he was named one of People's 100 Most Beautiful beings, Zac Efron also managed to stake his claim as one of the world's most influential people on the Time 100.

The magazine is no doubt hoping his influence is particularly strong when it comes to newsstand sales.

The rest of the list is chock-full of A-listers, including six-time honoree Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks, Jay Leno, M.I.A., Penélope Cruz, Tina Fey, Kate Winslet, John Legend, Slumdog Millionaire composer A.R. Rahman, Barack and Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, financial guru Suze Orman and, brace yourselves, the ladies of The View.

And yes, that includes Sherri and Elisabeth.

Each of the honorees gets a peer-penned testimonial, with Claire Danes doing the honors for Zefron.

"I suppose we all know that Zac, 21, is a song-and-dance man," she writes. "What is less known—and what I had the privilege of learning firsthand—is that he is a performer of great subtlety and vulnerability.

"It seems Zac is not only an entertainer, but also an artist. He is going to make us swoon for many years to come."

"We all have our favorites (I'll never tell)," New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg says in his ode to the coffee klatch, "but we really do think of them as a family—a family that, every day for one hour, invites us over for a cup of coffee and some candid conversation."

As for other star-on-star tributes, Jimmy Fallon deadpans the praises of Leno; Spike Jonze gives voice to M.I.A.'s talents; Meg Ryan offers up some effusiveness over rom-com costar Hanks, Angelina Jolie commends the work of author and humanitarian Somaly Mam, and none other than Bono himself extols the virtues of a Clooneyfied world.

"What he brings to the discussion on Darfur is not just star power," he said. "It's the power of conviction, and a growing impatience, and an undiminished sense that what's still—still!—happening in Darfur is an affront to what we say we believe.

"Our response, as yet, is unworthy of us."

Also Manny Pacquiao did make it to the list.
