American Idol, Reality Show | featured news

"Idol" judge said he expected to see clones of the over-the-top eighth season runner-up or even croony champion Kris Allen show up to audition, but there were none to be found this time.

"American Idol" will return next month with a two-night, four-hour premiere featuring auditions in Boston and Atlanta, the Fox network says....

The end of an era
Yes, we've heard this a million times. It seems as though every single year, Simon Cowell threatens to leave American Idol. But this time his brother is saying it. Do you think it's really true?

Kris Allen knows he's not garnering as much attention as Adam Lambert — and that's OK with him.

Just in time for Halloween, the Glampire himself has loosed upon the ever-critical Interwebs the first single/title track from his debut album. Described by Adam Lambert as "dance music with a glam-rock shuffle beat," "For Your Entertainment" premiered on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show this morning and is currently streaming on Lambert's official site.

Jonas, 20, joins the growing ranks of celebrity judges on “Idol,” including Mary J. Blige, Victoria Beckham and Shania Twain, who have all stepped in to fill the spot left by Paula Abdul.

Now that the “Dancing With the Stars” cast has been announced, and Paula Abdul’s name is not on the list, negotiations between Abdul and Fox for her return to “American Idol” have become more intense.

Simon Cowell, despite hinting in the spring that he might be leaving “American Idol,” will be a judge on hit reality show for at least three more seasons and reportedly will earn $45 million under the new pact.

Paula Abdul may be out of a job on "American Idol" but she could soon be dancing with the stars on rival TV network ABC.

As the dust settles on the shocking departure of Paula Abdul, 47, from next season's American Idol, now comes confirmation from Victoria Beckham's publicist that the former Posh Spice, 35, will make a "one-off appearance" as a guest judge on the top-rated FOX show, according to Britain's Sky News.
