Have y’all been glued to the TV for the American Idol reboot with celebrity hosts Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie? Is this the first time you’re realizing it’s alive? Simon Cowell is “genuinely not interested” either.
We may never be free from the reanimated corpse of American Idol, which is more proof to me that hell is real.
On Sunday night’s episode of ABC’s inexplicable reboot of the former Fox hit American Idol, Judge Luke Bryan asked a contestant who they “look up to as an artist.” The contestant, a friendly looking young fella with a beard and glasses, nervously offered a disclaimer to Judge Katy Perry before responding. “I’m sorry…
We can debate whether or not we need American Idol back so soon—it only went off the air two years ago, which means the gap between getting the boot and being rebooted is shorter than ever. One day that gap will cease to exist, and then what? Some version of the singularity where the computers take over but all they…
If you were wondering what a lot of Elvis Presley’s fortune has been up to, the answer, according to a lawsuit TMZ reported about on Thursday, is it disappeared down the maw of American Idol’s heyday. An almost egregiously poetic inheritance, but nonetheless disappointing to his daughter Lisa Marie Presley, who filed…
In its continued quest to be a boring shell of itself, American Idol is scrapping what was once the heart and soul of the audition process—the terrible singers.
When American Idol powers back up in March—like the mosquito that flew away just as you were about to crush it—don’t expect any of its new judges to be the mean judge.
After weeks of negotiations and holdouts caused by apparent budget restraints, American Idol is close to finalizing its judging panel. What a journey it’s been.
American Idol’s ongoing issue with securing a judging panel for its dreaded return is perhaps one sign that the show is ill-fated from the start. Nonetheless, the producers need just one more expert to join Katy Perry and country singer Luke Bryan and it would be nice if it wasn’t another white person.
American Idol managed to land its second celebrity judge just a week ahead of the start of auditions, with Variety reporting that country star Luke Bryan will be joining Katy Perry for the series reboot on ABC. A third judge has yet to be secured, and at the rate things are going, maybe never will be? Two judges won’t…
American Idol producers have reportedly had trouble securing a panel of judges to accompany Katy Perry on the long, possibly unnecessary journey of reviving the show. Is it possible that her $25 million salary ate up the budget?
Ryan Seacrest has chosen to continue to sacrifice valuable sleep hours for the sake of entertainment. He will be back to host American Idol, the show that, like him, is precious and immortal. Seacrest? In.
Hey, has anyone else had a problem keeping their brain matter from oozing out of their ears and nose over the past few days as your body suffers a physical response to the demise of American democracy as we know it? Anyone?
 Suck it, Ryan Seacrest, Kelly Clarkson doesn’t want it. Instead of joining the cast of the godawful and unnecessary American Idol reboot as was rumored yesterday, Miss Clarkson is betting on the right horse and joining The Voice as a judge for its 14th season.
Though it has been only a little more than a year since American Idol celebrated its final season with all the fanfare it deserved, there is already a reboot in the works that could premiere as soon as March 2018. Though I am personally viewing this news with the same horror I’d feel about raising my grandma from the…
In a move that’s “incomprehensible” at best and “very, very bad” at worst, ABC is currently in talks to bring American Idol—the former jewel in Fox’s crown that ended its 14-year run last April due to low ratings—back from the dead. TMZ reports Tuesday that the show is “the hottest property out there” (out where?) and…
Many of us were disappointed when American Idol contestant La’Porsha Renae lost to fellow competitor Trent Harmon during the last-ever finale of the reality TV show, but recent comments the Mississippi-born singer made about the LGBT community have caused a number of her fans to second-guess their support.
After a decade-and-a-half run on television, American Idol has crowned its final winner—and to the surprise of no one, it is once again a white guy from the South.
I am both an early and late adopter of American Idol. I watched it early on with the kids I babysat, embarrassing them as I imitated the contestants in front of their large floor-to-ceiling windows, in full few of their neighbors. Somehow this season, I happened upon it again, tuning in one quiet night home alone…
