Idol Headlines for 11/30/08

Jordin Sparks’s Fashion Line Is All Wet

Now, I have nothing against mall shops. H&M, Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, Hot Topic, Delia’s, even Target…my closet is stocked with garments from all of these chains. I honestly do not believe anyone needs to buy the pricey designer duds in Elle to look fabulous. But the new Jordin Sparks-designed fashion line for Wet Seal–hitting stores in time for the holiday season–is hideous.

Suffice to say if any American Idol contestant wore Jordin’s Wet Seal dresses on the show, Simon would tear her a new buttonhole. Blech, blech, blech.

You can view–and, if you dare, purchase–Jordin’s 12 new party dresses HERE.

Britney Spears Faces Simon Cowell Onstage

The Insider: Morgan interviews Simon Cowell

There are some things you pray will happen in your life, but assume never will, and having Simon Cowell cowering in front of me, with a big live audience watching, and being allowed to ask him anything I liked, would be top of that list.

Well, tonight it happened.
