ADAM LAMBERT ARRESTED

Singer and former American Idol runner- up Adam Lambert was arrested and briefly jailed Thursday in Finland. Lambert apparently had a brawl with his Finnish boyfriend, Sauli Koskinen. The two were reportedly arguing inside a well known gay bar called “Don’t Tell Mama” when the brawl rambled out into the street. Lambert became physical with people who tried to intervene. Police eventually arrived and took both Lambert and Koskinen into custody and charged them with multiple assaults.

 The actual cause of the argument has not been reported as of yet, but Koskinen has since blogged : "Publicity is not easy, but also celebrities are just human. Love is not easy either, but it lasts forever!”

THE X FACTOR - DAWN BOYLE

For a few weeks now I have been tuning in to watch this American Idol spin-off. First I want to let you all know, I hate American Idol. My husband  has religiously watched since season 1. I really never got into it. So what's the difference between the two? Why am I loving X so much?

Some of the differences I have noticed is that there is no age limit at X. I like that. I really enjoy the stories of the people who are my age and still chasing their dream...and for that 5 million dollar recording contract I am considering getting voice lessons and trying out next season. The mentoring I originally thought would bug the hell out of me, but it's hasn't. The way they put people together for the groups division is also pretty cool. Those girls (forget their name, think is has something to do with rain) are really awesome! 

Seems like Simon is taking happy pills and Paula maybe has stopped taking whatever she was on during her stint on Idol. Nicole (Pussycat Doll) is not too annoying and LA Reid is totally bad ass. I think he might be the most cool dude in America. I bet he is fun to hang out with.

I have said before I am not an American Idol fan...last night they sent home Haley who gave the best performance this week as per my husband who is a VERY BIG FAN. 

Did they get it right? 

Over 95 million people voted to have Scott & Lauren be in the final, will you watch next week?   Will you vote?

You are never going to believe who is back together....

This morning Fox announced that Paula Abdul will join Simon Cowell on the X-FACTOR as a judge, this fall, which started auditions this past weekend in Los Angeles.

The chemistry or friction between the two was sometimes funny, sometimes uncomfortable, but did make for awesome ratings. That was the last time I watched Idol.

L.A. Reid and Cheryl Cole will join Paula and Simon as judges this season as well.

Were you planning on watching X Factor this fall?

Are you more inclined to tune in with Paula on the panel?
