Lauren Alaina tries for Pia fans - American Idol top 8 recap

With three judges love seven of the eight performances of the song - and half love each other - "American Idol" was a shift of attention to rustle up a little musical drama on Wednesday night.

Fortunately, he believes, Jimmy Iovine.

The competition is based on weekly exceptions, judges tell the contestants, "You all were great!" just do not really help much with the differentiation process.

So on Wednesday night in the spotlight has moved behind the scenes recording Iovine, chairman of Interscope Records and musical mentor in this year's "Idol."

Iovine it can make a wave of music is not surprising, given his chops.

It's just that, unlike the judges of the luster of the "panel this year, he was hired to be the guy who works with candidates throughout the week. He wears casual clothes, not the cup of coke on his desk.

On Wednesday night, but we watched quietly to do it:

1. He advised the candidate Loren Alain singing Miley Cyrus "The Climb" partly because "there are many voices out there, Pius, which is how to get them."

Quick background for those who hibernated until this week: Competitor Pia Toscano Queen was voted off show last week, stunning the judges and most of America.

"It looks cool," said Iovine strategies vote-grabbing. "But you have to think like that."

So, Lauren sang. The judges really liked it. "You shall not steal votes from anyone," Judge Jennifer Lopez cracked.

2. He advised the candidate Casey Abrams not to sing Nat King Cole "Nature Boy", sweet blues song.

"This show is a hurricane," said Iovine. "If you go there and nobody hears it."

Abrams sang anyway. The judges all liked it.

Abrams himself once sang, said: "I felt that people were against me. ... I did something that was not done."

3. He advised James Durbin candidate did not sing "Call It Heavy Metal".

Durbin sang anyway, or at least, when he sang guest Zakk Wylde did not have guitar solos.

The judges really liked it.

Now it will be interesting to see if America loves a choice, and James Casey - or, if shares in the U.S. in terms of judges, which Haley Reinhart version of "Call Me" Blondie was the only song on the night who does not deserve immortality now.

"People want us to be tough," Lopez passed after the launch of Scotty McCreery George Strait "I Cross My Heart". "But you're so damn good!"

Lopez could be forgiven dizzy, as host Ryan Seacrest opened the show saying that people only that the magazine called it "the most beautiful woman in the world" - an honor she has no doubt of his added visibility of "Idol."

Lopez had a brief tribute to the blushing and AW-GM-Ing.

This, however, set the tone of the evening, as the lovefest, plus or minus a few tips Iovine.

Anderson Cooper slams- Snooki for being paid to 'show up & throw up'

Anderson Cooper tired of people paying Snooki "Snooki just be." Host of "Anderson Cooper 360" are not skimped on Tuesday night show completely obedient "burden" of people over the bifurcation of large sums for the appearance of Jersey Shore "party girl.

Snooki called "incredibly lucky, extremely bold, whimsical tan, beer lovers, hugging juicehead, love muscle, the body of the machine Botero, half-liter of money," Cooper desperate Rutgers University to pay $ 32,000 to speak on campus last month .

He also said Snook and his other "Jersey Shore" castmates will be $ 100.000 per episode of the fourth season of the show.

"If you listen carefully you can hear the teacher in schools across the country is crying right now," he said.

Cooper, 43, a punch coming, adding that the amount is "about 2,857 tanning, and that she probably needs a year."


$ 32000 Snooki received for her appearance at Rutgers in March is $ 2000 more than the university will pay the Nobel author Toni Morrison for its entry into force of this address in May. Taking note of the storm that erupted after the announcement of the surface shape, Cooper said he will analyze the literary achievement of the pair.

Cooper read a passage penetrating Morrison "blue eyes" to the mischievous, comparing it with a quote from the "Shore Thing," Snooki book released in January.

"And I quote," he said: "Any reduction Juicehead get some nuts and bacne".

Extending the final burden of the name Cooper 23 years, the emergence of the club - reported $ 25.000 - "show, and quit spending."

At the end of the roll to stress that consumer star reality shows, dance, fall, and generally be "Snook," Cooper looked at his desk in mock exasperation.

As if by the end of the slightly more positive note, he added, "I'm not saying it's not very interesting. I'm not saying it's not worth the money. All I mean, you really don 't spend tens of thousands of dollars to get on your Snooki. You just have basic cable. "

Greg Anderson, Barry Bonds trainer went to jail

Greg Anderson, Barry Bonds trainer went to jail rather than talk with the government about Barry Bonds alleged use of steroids and doping, he said he thought oil flax. Brian McNamee, former trainer of Clemens, told the people to join in the Mitchell report for baseball on steroids and other drugs in baseball all that they wanted to know what McNamee said Clemens was drugs. Why, because McNamee did not go to jail for Roger Clemens.

If you want to know why bad news for Barry Bonds on Wednesday - a conviction for the crime of obstruction of justice - was bad news for Clemens, too, begin there. Bonds are lucky that Anderson would prefer to do the time than to talk with the federal government, because if he gave evidence at the trial of the Bonds, it is likely that the bonds would fall on the three counts against him, three to one for perjury and obstruction.

While McNamee is a problem for Clemens. a medical certificate, this time, blood and syringes McNamee kept, and MRI of Clemens abscess on his buttocks while he was still pitching for the Blue Jays, that the prosecution will say, this is where the steroids were combined.

The case against Bonds started because the government believes that he lied while they were investigating the Bay Area BALCO lab called for the production and distribution of drugs in 2002. They were not after Bonds, BALCO, they were after, and because of this case, Victor Conte - who founded BALCO - not a prison, and therefore it is Greg Anderson.

Clemens? He is accused of lying to Congress. That's why he was charged with one count of obstruction, three counts of making false statements, two counts of perjury. Lawyers bonds were confident that the government could not build a case against Bonds on anything, not without evidence, Greg Anderson, who they did not call a single witness. It will be different for Clemens, who now seems to be harder than ever.

Not only conviction appeal McNamee, not only have additional medical evidence against Clemens, there is a problem for him, the guy who will be the star prosecution witness as much as Brian McNamee. Source:http://the12news.blogspot.com/2011/04/barry-bonds-roger-clemens-as-ex-yankee.html

Gabrielle Giffords - Gabrielle Giffords hasn’t talked about an Arizona Senate run

Three months after being wounded by gunfire while attending an event which, Democrat Gabrielle Giffords continues to make tremendous progress in his healing journey. But her husband, Mark Kelly, the public does not want too far ahead of ourselves when we are talking about his wife and his political future.

In an interview with Newsweek, Peter Boyer, Kelly sought to temper the reports on the rehabilitation of Giffords. On the one hand, it is still yet to get approval from their doctors to participate in the NASA Space Shuttle Mission on April 29 last, which is set to control Kelly. Secondly, Giffords has paid little attention to her political future, despite the noise that she could go to the Arizona Senate seat being vacated by Republican John Kyl next year.

"We did not discuss any of the Senate race with it," he said. "And I'm not going to do for some time. She focused on his recovery."

"Will it be ready to work or are interested in managing nobody can say," said Arizona Democratic Party leader Andrei Chernykh told Times. "But there is a feeling that she must make that decision and should have options when it is ready to do it."
