Idol Headlines for 02/01/10
Gaga, Bono Joining “We Are World” Remake
Just as George Clooney used the Golden Globes as recruiting grounds for his Haiti telethon, Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones did the same with Grammys for their “We Are the World” remake.
The veterans of the original 1985 charity single spent the festivities stocking up on music stars to perform on the new rendition, to be recorded Monday in Los Angeles.
Bono and Lady Gaga are among the latest on board for the Haiti-helping tune, joining the likes of Usher, Jason Mraz, Akon, Jennifer Hudson, Carlos Santana, Enrique Iglesias and Toni Braxton. There could be as many as 100 singers on the new rendition. “It’s like the biggest honor in life to get a call from our father in music, Quincy Jones,” RedOne, who will help produce, told E! News backstage.
Katharine McPhee tweeted she’ll be involved too, “So excited to record “We Are The World,” (the remake) on Monday along with many other amazing artist. I’m honored to be a part of it.”
T-Pain: ‘Next on my list is Carrie Underwood’
As for who he would like to work with next, T-Pain was enthusiastic and adamant. “Next on my list is Carrie Underwood. I swear to God. Everybody else can suck it until I get to Carrie Underwood.”
‘Pants on the Ground’ — The Seeds of Conflict
Good news for Gen. Larry Platt — “Pants on the Ground” has finally been recorded in a studio. The bad news — the General has no idea it’s been released … and a conflict is brewing.
Larry’s former manager Jason Mills — who’s releasing the song to radio stations — tells us he doesn’t need Larry’s approval because Mills says it’s “promotional” and not for profit … at least for now.
Mills says he now represents the producer, Carlos Thornton (aka Los Vegas) and Mills claims the producer has the right to release the tune, without the General’s approval.
More Idol Headlines After the JUMP…
Beyonce, Taylor Swift Dominate 2010 Grammy Awards
Female artists dominated the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, with Beyoncé and Taylor Swift leading the charge. Beyoncé tallied the most awards, scooping up six trophies — the most ever for a female artist on a single Grammy night — most notably Song of the Year and Best R&B Song for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for “Halo.” It was Swift who took home the night’s biggest award, however, nabbing Album of the Year for 2009’s best-selling LP, Fearless, making her the youngest artist ever to receive the award. Swift won four awards total, including Best Country Album (also Fearless), Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance (both “White Horse”).
Kris Allen, Adam Lambert see healthy airplay gains
As Kelly Clarkson’s Already Gone starts to fall down the format charts (though it’s still Number One on our American Idol airplay chart), the singles from Kris Allen and Adam Lambert make some of their strongest moves to date. Both Live Like We’re Dying and Whataya Want From Me saw week-to-week spin increases greater than 700, according to Mediabase. That pushes Kris into the top 20 of USA TODAY’s Top 40 chart, while Adam leapfrogs Daughtry and Life After You to reach No. 23 on the Top 40 chart.
Jennifer Hudson Talks Motherhood on the Grammy Red Carpet
ET’s Kevin Frazier was on the Grammy Awards red carpet on Sunday night in Los Angeles, where stars discussed the devastation in Haiti and the night’s big Michael Jackson tribute. Plus, Jennifer Hudson opened up about motherhood and bringing her son to the Grammys — and ET’s Grammy fashion correspondent Adam Lambert talked music with Ke$ha!
Jennifer Hudson hopes nobody hears her baby
When someone yelled out to her asking where her infant son David was, she responded, “Yeah, yeah, he’s here. He’s off backstage. I hope nobody hears him
Carrie Underwood Flies Solo on Grammy Red Carpet
Carrie Underwood didn’t walk the red carpet with fiance Mike Fisher at Sunday’s Grammys.
No, they aren’t on the rocks.
“He’s here,” she said on E!’s pre-show. “He’s waiting for me at the end of the carpet. I can’t feed him to the wolves!”
The 26-year-old Underwood, in an asymmetrical white Georges Chakra gown, said award shows are still “new for him.”
She said they plan to “take some photos together” later, but she wants to “ease him into” her world.
Rickey Minor “running on happy fumes”
American Idol’s band leader, Rickey Minor, says he’s “running on happy fumes” between playing Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party, the Grammy show itself and working as Quincy Jones’ music director for the We Are the World remake sessions.
How Matt Giraud celebrated his iTunes Number One
Marco also asked Matt what he did when he learned that his new duet with Anna Wilson, You Don’t Know Me, had reached Number One on the iTunes jazz chart. “We ran a rehearsal, and we bought two $5 bottles of champagne and one plastic cup. That’s all we could afford.”
Adam Lambert’s creepy Grammy fashion statement
Adam Lambert may actually be bugged on the Grammy red carpet.
At the Grammy Style Studio on Saturday, the Dish Rag got the scoop on several eclectic suits Adam’s personal stylist was looking at by designer Nemer Saade.
And his stylist also picked out a pair of Thomas Pink’s equally wild cufflinks that Adam may end up wearing to the Grammy’s today.
Keep an eye out for something crawling up his sleeves on the red carpet.
Hudson serenades Streisand at Grammy bash
It was Streisand’s first time at the party, and Davis orchestrated for Hudson to sing rousing renditions of “People” and “The Way We Were.” But the evening — which started at 7 p.m. — ran over five hours, and by the time Hudson performed, virtually every top celebrity had abandoned ship.
“You know it’s less than three hours of music,” he told the crowd that remained as the event was coming to a close. “If you can’t take it, you’re in the wrong business.”
Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson, Ke$ha and more: On the scene at the annual Clive Davis pre-Grammy bash
It is, historically, the biggest party of Grammy weekend. But Saturday night’s Clive Davis/Recording Academy bash at L.A.’s Beverly Hilton may have also been the night this gala started to move into history, with a new generation of interests taking its place.
The event was studded with the usual stars, each one given the traditional laudatory introduction from Davis himself, who presides from the podium like the industry king he is. Jane Fonda was “matchless.” Jay-Z was “towering.” Les Moonves was a “titan.” For Wyclef Jean, he had “special emotion and pride.” Here and there, small pockets of celebrity glistened: Russell Brand chatted with Adam Lambert and Randy Jackson. Dierks Bentley shared a laugh with Richie Sambora. Katy Perry and Rihanna — whose attendance surprised me, seeing as how her life got really crappy after she left this party last year — bonded in the ladies’ room. Gazing across this savannah of fame from a table in the back, it was possible to believe that, like the Black Eyed Peas keep reminding us, the night was gonna be a good night.
‘American Idol’ Auditions Are a Myth … But Isn’t the Whole Show, Really?
Let me preface this by saying that I am a longtime “American Idol” fan. As a former singer and performer, nothing is more exhilarating than watching other people compete and either knock it out of the park or bomb big-time. Perhaps the most compelling part of the “Idol” journey is the audition process. Not only is it entertaining, but also every person alive (whether talented or untalented) can relate to that moment of waiting to fulfill a dream: to perform on Broadway, score the winning basket, get married, land that job. The feeling is universal.
Tickets still available for Adam Lambert’s Indio concert
There are still plenty of tickets left for Adam Lambert’s Feb. 27 concert at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, his first in the Coachella Valley, a casino spokeswoman said Sunday.
Even before tickets went on sale Friday, hundreds of fans had lined up outside the casino, and the hotel has already sold out its rooms for the weekend.
About 200 more tickets were sold on Sunday, raising the total to 1,950, while the venue holds 3,500 people, said the casino’s Ciara Coyle.

Simon Cowell’s Helping Haiti charity single ready to go
While George’s Clooney’s Help For Haiti initiative and subsequent album release has topped the charts in the USA, British music mogul Simon Cowell’s Helping Haiti charity single is expected to do the same across the pond when it enters the UK charts this weekend. The single, which was completed on Saturday night, is a cover of REM’s ‘Everybody Hurts’ hit from 1992. It features 21 artists, including Rod Stewart, Mariah Carey, Robbie Williams, Leona Lewis, Jon Bon Jovi, Susan Boyle, the boys from Take That and Kylie Minogue. Vocals for the track were recorded in London and Los Angeles at the weekend.
How ‘Glee’ Married TV and Music in a New Moneymaking Model
NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — “Glee” is ostensibly a show about a group of high-school misfits and nerds whose common love of song helps them get through the trials of adolescence. Yet in the real world, the cast — and its songs — are winning a popularity contest.
Tied to the show’s storylines, the cast’s performances become so sellable that the program’s production studio, News Corp.’s 20th Century Fox, believes it could have a new TV-show model on its hands, not unlike the kind of revenue juggernaut “American Idol” introduced.
PHOTOS: FIRST LOOK — Kimberly Caldwell’s ‘Mess Of You’ Video
Statuesque blonde powerhouse Kimberly Caldwell is looking to clean up on the charts with “Mess Of You,” the lead single from her debut album, Without Regret. The TV Guide channel host and one-time American Idol contestant shot the music video for the song several weeks ago at Hollywood’s Roosevelt Hotel, and we’re excited to provide a first look at Kimberly’s sultry clip with this exclusive gallery of stills from the video and behind-the-scenes photos.

Wanna bet? Here’s some interesting Super Bowl wagers
Not that any of us actually gamble on the Super Bowl, but there are some interesting proposition bets lining up for next Sunday’s Super Bowl XLIV between the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts.
Of course there’s the standard batting line, which currently favors the Colts by 6 points. And there’s an over-under of 56 1/2 points for the combined score of the two teams.
But you can always find a lot of side action on a Super Bowl and this week’s game is no different. Here are some of the more interesting prop bets offered by bodog.com. Strictly for amusment purposes, of course …
How long will it take Carrie Underwood to sing the National Anthem?

Clay Aiken at Mirasol: Golf, inclusion and fatherhood
In 2008, I had a chat with “American Idol” finalist, Broadway star and all-around big famous sensation during his first annual Golfing For Inclusion benefit at Palm Beach Gardens’ Mirasol Country Club, for what was then called the Bubel-Aiken Foundation. He was there to help raise money for the foundation’s goal of providing opportunities for kids with disabilities to attend camp, but not to share his mad golf skills, because he apparently doesn’t have any.
And today, at the third annual golf event to benefit what is now called the National Inclusion Project, Clay revealed that after three years and a couple of clinics with golf pro Wayne Player, his game…still has no game.
Quincy Jones won’t replace ‘American Idol’s’ Simon Cowell: ‘I simply don’t have the time’
Quincy Jones is busy today (Monday, Feb. 1) producing the 25th anniversary of “We Are the World” at the Nokia Theater in downtown LA.
But despite all the Grammy activities this weekend, he found time to chat exclusively with The Dish Rag about “American Idol” judge buzz, the importance of music and his new album.
About We are the World: “It will be all new, it’s going to be fabulous … and different, it’s three times as many performers. I don’t like to do anything that I’ve already done, so I’m doing this with a new perspective.”
Replacing Simon Cowell: “No, I’m not game. I simply don’t have the time. I’ve got too much going on. I’m working on my foundation (the Quincy Jones Foundation), working on nine movies and doing records with Tony Bennett and Stevie Wonder.”
Fantasia on “American Idol,” Tiny, and Why She Doesn’t Get to Watch Her Own Show
After watching, and recapping, the premiere of Fantasia Barrino’s reality show “Fantasia For Real” (Mondays, 10 p.m. on VH1) I wanted to know more. Specifically, more about what life with the cameras is like, will there be a follow-up show and what is the deal with her brother?
Barrino, a former “American Idol” winner, spoke to Speakeasy while finishing up her latest album which she says is due out in either March or April. The first single, “Move On Me,” was heard in the first episode of her show.
Carrie Underwood Just Wants to Have Fun at Her Wedding
Don’t expect Carrie Underwood to obsess over every last little detail of her wedding to hockey player Mike Fisher. She has a much simpler goal in mind.
“We have some of the big decisions made,” the singer told PEOPLE at Clive Davis’s pre-Grammy gala over the weekend. “I don’t care about details. I just want to show up and have a good time!”
Carrie Underwood Takes Home 5th Grammy
American Idol Carrie Underwood took home her 5th Grammy last night at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards. She earned the trophy for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals for “I Told You So” featuring Randy Travis. In addition to taking home a coveted award, Carrie performed “Earth Song” with Jennifer Hudson, Usher, Celine Dion, and Smokey Robinson as a tribute to Michael Jackson at last night’s award show. Read more about the performance, here.
Jennifer Hudson Is ‘A Bit Busy’ With New Album, Movie
Jennifer Hudson has achieved a lot in a short time and already has a Grammy and an Oscar under her belt. Now with a few more films on her résumé and a husband and baby at home, she is ready to get busy working on more projects, including a new album and movie.
“I’m actually recording my album right now,” she revealed to MTV News on the red carpet at the 52nd annual Grammy Awards on Sunday. “And getting ready for my next film, which is [about] Winnie Mandela. So it’s a bit busy, but I’m enjoying myself.”

I agree totally Keel….in the end, what matters is the bottom line to 19/RCA.
Does anyone else think it’s strange that no one from Adam’s camp (including Adam) has even mentioned this concert? I keep expecting a little tweet or something from him, but zippo, zero. How strange that the only promotion is a few tweets from the casino and word of mouth buzz.
We were talking about it at work today and I was telling everyone I purchased plane tickets, etc. Co-workers asked me if I was sure it wasn’t an Adam Lambert impersonator from Vegas. Not.even.funny.
Very exciting for Danny to be doing tour dates with Sugarland. Hope it will be revealed as a full tour, he’s been talking about a “major tour” starting in April sometime. Could well be this is it.
Saw that some of his band members were already practicing for a “big rehearsal” today in Nashville. Seems they are getting ready for something interesting.

JESSI CRUICKSHANK INTERVIEWS ADAM LAMBERT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7aCfeqvhFk
ITA. It is exciting and I definitely want to hear more details about his tour plans.
I just wonder now when RCA will start doing national promotion for him. He still has the radio tour that will be going on for at least a little while longer. He has stops this week and I believe the next. And possibly after that. So I wonder when we will start to see him get national promotion, since his album is about a month away.
JESSI CRUICKSHANK interview is hillarious!!!!!!!! I am luving these Canadian interviews. They are funny and so laid back. Adam does excellent as usual!!! ROFL!
In fact, my friend who drives to San Diego actually has her home in Indio and Indio is on a major freeway — at least it was the last two times we drove from Ontario airport to there last year. She lives in a gated community that’s 5 minutes from the freeway exit in Indio. It’s just a few more exits beyond the Palm Springs exit. And you know what’s along the way between Palm Springs and Indio? Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells and La Quinta — all really great resort communities at which there are ton of things to do. (Plus, isn’t this a weekend show? At the very least, it’s a great opportunity for fans to make a day of it and have fun shopping at the Palm Desert or go golfing at the casino premises or elsewhere!)
But I get it, not everyone is going to make it a “there and back” trip. That’s a personal choice. I happen to do something close to this every time I attend a concert in San Francisco from where I live — and my shows are usually standing room only and not a cushy, seated casino show. My husband won’t do it (general predisposition against crowds and minor health reasons), but I have gone to many, many concerts with friends who have asked me to invite them any time because they looooove live music. And so do I, so all the trouble is worth it as far as I’m concerned.
Danny should pick up some good promotion/visibility off the Sugarland tour dates. But yes, we haven’t seen any real national promo yet in the way of tv appearances/performances, or even online ads as far as I know. He did several interviews last week in Nashville that seem to be queued up for later release, don’t believe any of them have been published yet.
Ok, I have to admit it…I just did something I have been telling myself for days that I was NOT going to do. I just bought a ticket to Fantasy Springs Resort Casino even though I live in San Francisco and have no one to go with. I can’t decide whether to be excited or embarassed.
Ok, I’m excited. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get there and back…..because I AM going!!!!! Yay, me!!!!
OMG.,…….I am dying with that Jessi interview!!!!! I coulnt get past the first part for like 10 minutes I was laughing so friggin hard!!!!
He needs to do all his interviews with Michelle Collins and anyone in Canada!!!
Okay, that was actually funny.
Kind of chuckling to myself that just yesterday in the MJ tribute thread I predicted that soon there would be a We are the World remake… didn’t think the news would come THIS soon!
Just throw some glitter on it…..roflmfao
I had this same thought today. I tend to fret and go all over the place on the Adam rollercoaster in terms of always worrying way too much about his success. But, then I had this sense today that it WILL happen, and it will be one of those turning-point kind of moments with him, in terms of something happening (tour, single, tv appearance) that suddenly becomes that “wow!” moment that has him realize his full potential.
Don’t get me wrong – I think he’s doing just fine right now as is, but, I mean, in terms of the crazy ass predictions made about how big he COULD be, I feel that’s something where we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg.
Not saying he’ll be the biggest thing ever, but, IDK, that FULL potential of success still hasn’t been tapped yet. But it’ll happen.
I don’t really watch that many AL interviews, but that my friends is comedy gold. There’s a hole here….. LMAO.
Yay to you!! …you’re so brave!! Stay excited and have a blast!! I’m sure you’ll meet up with other fans and the plans will fall into place. Promise to share with us all as soon as you can.

Thank you, that is so hilarious, those Canadians know how to do a interview. That makes me want to go out and buy a pair of pleather pants.
Actually there are 8 parts, most are very short. And it’s another funny set of interviews. Not as good as the Jessi one, but then that would be hard. So Canadians offically have better health insurance and interviewers than the US, well at least to me. So much so that I’m willing to overlook the bagged milk thing. Well especially as I don’t use milk except in my tea, so there’s that.

Lots of Carrie stuff you forgot to mention”
02/01/2010 at 11:03 pm
CNN confirmed Carrie Underwood is part of the We are the World remake. http://bit.ly/9A14bR #cnn
Carrie won her 5th Grammy last night, winning Country Collaboration for I Told You So with Randy Travis.
Also, Carrie will be dong a press conference that will air on the NFL network on February 4th at 2:00 pm EST, with the Who and Queen Latifah
from Brad Bessey – Co-Executive Producer Entertainment Tonight:
@adamlambert I hope you love it when you see it. We loved having you. Not only are u an uber-superstar but fun & pure joy to work with.
These Canadian interviews are just awesome!
Great – you don’t have to go with anyone – there are lots of fans going alone and just meeting up with other fans there. I’m flying Oakland to Ontario on Southwest – it was the best deal. Some of us are going to the buffet restaurant at the casino at 4 pm (when they open as all restaurants there are all booked) – you’re welcome to join us, just show up. But hurry up and find a hotel room, those are filling up.
madnessinmotion – YEAAA! It will be TONS of fun! I’ll be there with some friends from the east coast
So no worries about coming from San Francisco! Believe me, going alone is no big deal! I went to 2 tour shows over the summer alone, out of town, too – and met so many amazing new friends there! We still stay in touch too!
OMG – that was hilarious! She’s like the canadian Michelle Collins. Love it.
That David A. & Clay mention was just “hilarious”. Loved it. David seems to be everywhere. Good for him.
I was at the Mitchell and Fargo show. I must admit, the Fargo one was a GREAT one. (I had front row which made it even better.) And I met the wonderful women from Manila, both in Mitchell when they spoke with Beth (and later with Kyle & Monty) and at the bus line in Fargo. All in all, it was a fantastic experience. It’s too bad, Spritely, that I didn’t know who you were. I would have loved to have met you.
By the way, you have me beat. (Heh, it’s all about the competition, lol.) I made it to 4 states, all within driving distance for me (1 to 4.5 hours). But I did catch 7 shows since Mr. Cook seemed to like my area of the country. I caught 2 college shows (GA with front row and one a formal music theatre in the balcony), one outdoor venue (gorgeous night and front row again!), a music festival (Mitchell), a club style venue (Fargo), a beautiful, historically renovated theatre, and a Casino. Every show was different and all were entertaining.
And to not let my other fave out, I also got to go to a David A. concert in a very classy theatre venue, where the crowd was … shall we say …. very engaged and showed their appreciation loudly.
I guess what I’m saying is if you have a chance to see your favorite performer, go for it. You won’t be disappointed. These artists that have come off of Idol can really SAAAAAAANG!
Really cool video.

Ahhhh! Back to reality. I’m in the boonies drinkin a beer watching the Grammy fashion wrap up. Adam (cuz) I love u and you eyeliner anyway about 1 hour ago from Tweetie
Think this is the most appropriate place to put this.
MJ, I tweeted this to you. E! channel ran a promo for their hosts and reality stars using Adam Lambert’s FYE (Brad Walsh remix)

Stars the Kardashian sisters, Ryan Seacrest, Guiliana Rancic, Catt Sadler, Sal Masekala, Joel McHale, and Chelsea Handler.
They will run a 2nd version as well (not sure if they will put the same song on it) with Denise Richards, Kendra, and The Girls Next Door.
And just a big loud yelping “HELL NO” to T-Pain working with little Miss Carrie. I’m pretty sure she’d duet with Britney before she goes within 5 of that guy! lol.
ETA: E! has a pic of Adam and his cake from B-day…
http://images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20100201/293.lambert.adam.lc.020110.jpg
My total geek out here, Stephen Fry Tweeted to Adam. Sure, he was being whatever level of the snark, because it’s Stephen Fry. But dude, Stephen Fry! The only things that would only make my Britgeek heart beat faster if a Monty Python member, or like Rowan Atkinson said something nice about Adam.
Oh and of course Bryan Singer isn’t chopped liver, though I still haven’t forgiven him for the X-Men films, but then I’m a huge, geeky, purist.
Oh yeah, original Tweet:
“@adamlambert Having dinner with Bryan Singer – trying to persuade him to be on Twitter. He says he knows and loves you. As do we all x “
Thanks, didilynn, for the info and invitation. I decided to book a flight into Palm Springs. The extra money made sense when I compared driving 20 miles to driving 100 miles. I can spend the extra time I am saving in the casino.
I probably will meet you guys for dinner, too. Even though I know other Adam fans I don’t really know any who are quite as…umm…focused as I am so it will be nice to connect with like minded people, LOL.
Thanks, Mary102, for the reality check. I go to shows by myself here all the time. It really isn’t that much different to do it out of town especially when I will be with so many people who share my same interests. Hope I get to meet lots of new friends.
madnessinmotion:
yeah probably more relaxing to fly into p.s. – I have to drive 1.5 hours (Santa Rosa to Oakland), then fly 1.5, then drive another 1.5, and both ways! I am staying 2 nights though, visiting/staying with an old friend in p.s. Sunday night.
I do hope to meet you at the buffet – I think we have about 8 fans confirmed for dinner now.
And really looking forward to the concert too!
How about another laugh from Canada? Enjoy!

Bagged milk? I haven’t seen that for years. Are you pro or anti? Canadians switched back to jugs and cartons years ago. Really, it was for practical reasons. If you freeze a 4 litre (about a gallon) jug of milk, you can use it as an emergency replacement rock for Curling. Goodness knows we can’t survive without our Curling stones.
Sorry to tell you Kirsten, Ontario still uses bagged milk.
Nevertheless, kind of a cool acknowledgment of her mainstream success, when it comes from that far-flung a quarter. Obviously he thinks she has pretty major coattails if he’s interested in riding on them!
I’ll be coming to the concert by myself and would love to meet up with you all for the 4pm buffet. I’m really excited to meet all of you.
That’s why all the good curlers come from elsewhere.
Didn’t know where to post but I thought this was pretty funny. The bid on Adam’s autographed picture and Ellen underwear is up to $7605 LOL!
I’m with you there – Brit-geekdom coming out from me too
Ok, this is why I am actually holding out a bit of hope for Adam to appear in some kind of movie/tv show – however small. I have a feeling his peeps are working on it for him, because they seem to want to take that whole “multimedia” approach with Adam anyways (not to mention, more focus on higher profile gigs). So hopefully something will come up this year for him!
ETA: Lol, Kirsten
ETA 2: I get so excited to hear all these other people in music, tv, and movies loving Adam so much – he’s got like some special mojo magic that just makes everyone love him, doesn’t he?
Well, not quite everyone, lol.
He certainly has something that seems to promote *some* emotional reaction in nearly everyone, though!

Well, there are definitely those in the biz who DON’T like him, but, IDK, from everything I seem to hear, I’m pretty happy with the calibre of talent that DOES like him. Not bad praise!
