Idol Stalker - Watching American Idol

Ellen DeGeneres Watching Past Seasons of Idol?

Posted: 10 Oct 2009 12:22 PM PDT

After being graciously welcomed by everyone at American Idol, as the new judge for the show, it seems like talk show host Ellen DeGeneres is doing all that she can in order to ensure that she's fully prepared for her new duties.

According to rumors, Ellen and her wife, Portia de Rossi have been looking back on past seasons if Idol to get a hang of what's in store.

A source tells The National Enquirer, "Ellen and Portia have been watching old seasons on DVD to see how the judges interact with contestants and audience. Ellen wants to live up to the high expectations."

It seems like host, Ryan Seacrest has very much embraced Ellen being part of the show and says that she'll have one definite role – cutting the "sexual tension."

He has said, "We love Ellen, she is a superstar. She will change the sexual tension. Simon and Paula had a specific sort of tension, but this will be quite different…"

I really hope Ellen will feel welcomed! Seems like she's already become so devoted to the show. I'm sure she'll add a lot to the show, and it should be interesting to see how she does!

Has Amy Winehouse Had A Boob Job?

Posted: 10 Oct 2009 07:07 PM PDT

Amy Winehouse appeared on Strictly Come Dancing tonight as a backing singer for her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield. Despite not being the star turn this time around, with Bromfield taking center stage, it’s thought Winehouse saw this as a mini-comeback. And what do you do before a comeback? Why, get a boob job of course.

The Sun newspaper claims Winehouse had a boob job this week to prepare for her TV appearance. She allegedly paid a Harley Street clinic £35,000 ($60,000) to go from a 32B to a 32D. The idea was to restore her chest to how it was when she first burst on the scene in 2003 as an attractive, voluptuous woman.

That was obviously before she met Blake and started taking all manner of drugs. Which has left her skinny and without any attractive body part left.

Personally, if was Amy Winehouse, I’d have got my rotten teeth fixed first. Or maybe paid a Harley Street clinic to lock me up in their basement and promise not to let me out until I was well and truly off the smack. But that’s just me. And I’m not Amy Winehouse.

Speech Debelle Cancels US Tour Due To Visa Problems

Posted: 10 Oct 2009 03:00 PM PDT

You may not have yet heard of Speech Debelle. I certainly hadn’t until she went and won the 2009 Mercury Music Prize in September, beating the likes Glasvegas, La Roux, and Florence and The Machine in the process. But she’s big on the British hip-hop scene and was due to take herself and her music over to the States for a tour this month.

Unfortunately, Debelle has had to cancel the gigs due to what NME calls “Visa problems.” Debelle isn’t the first artist to encounter such problems, with Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen also succumbing in recent years. Anyone would think America didn’t want to let young, female British pop stars into the country, maybe for fear they’ll run amok and disturb the natural order of things.

It does seem a little strange to try and take British hip-hop to the United States though because this is a country with enough rappers already. And with all due respect to the girl, Speech isn’t much competition for Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Eminem.

1. Actually I don't remember being born, it must have happened during one of my black outs. 2. Blake said that the body was the soul's prison unless the five senses are fully developed and open....
