Rumored American Idol Picks for Season 11

Read my post about the rumored American Idol picks for season 11.

The list of the rumored ‘American Idol’ Top 24 has a lot of names on it that PopCrush doesn’t recognize — and we cover every episode in detail! The fact that the names are not familiar could be because the auditioning episodes are still going on.

Carlos Pena Jr. of Big Time Rush Interview

Read my interview with Carlos Pena Jr. of Big Time Rush and we spoke about the band’s upcoming tour with One Direction, and about boy bands over the years. Said Carlos Pena Jr,

I was all about Backstreet Boys, but I can’t pick a fave between them or ‘N Sync. Do you remember that one band LFO? They were great. I really think the music was so pure back then. Nowadays, songs are about sex, drugs and alcohol, but back then, they talked about other things. When Backstreet Boy sang, “I drive myself crazy,” it was nothing negative. It just about going crazy thinking about when I’m not with you. It was pure. I hope we can bring that back.

Snooki Without Make-Up

Check out my first post on Guy Speed, all about ‘Jersey Shore’ guidette Snooki – without make-up!

Snooki – Nicole Polizzi on all legal documents – looks a bazillion times more attractive without makeup obscuring those big, round eyes and smooshing lips.

American Idol Recap: Pittsburgh Auditions

Read my latest American Idol recap.

Pittsburgh is the city of champions and the Steelers, but it has also spawned a few pop stars like Christina Aguilera and Wiz Khalifa. Additionally, it was the setting for ‘American Idol‘ auditions on the second part of the Season 11 premiere. It’s the first time the show has ever camped out in the ‘Burgh in its history. It’s never too late for black ‘n’ yellow, is it?

American Idol Recap: David Leathers, Jr, Jessica Whitely + More

Read my latest recap of American Idol.

There were lots of “Never stop believing in yourself” and “You’re going to Hollywood” comments, and plenty of Jennifer Lopez‘s maternal declarations as she, Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler traveled to the laid back, sleepy Southern city of Savannah, Ga. to both realize and crush dreams for 10,000 prospective Idols.

American Idol Recap: Schyler and Colton Dixon

Read my latest recap of American Idol.

Redhead Schyler Dixon and her hipster mohawk-sporting brother Colton auditioned for ‘American Idol‘ last season but didn’t get very far. The judges remembered the sibling combo. Only this time, Schyler came to her audition solo, letting the judges know that her brother was sitting this year out to let her do her thing. What a supportive sib, right?

Stephen Carpenter Interview

I did my interview with Stephen Carpenter about Sol Invicto (you might know him from his other band, the Deftones). We spoke about the new EP, ‘Initium II.’

“The sound of ‘Initium II’ is the natural progression from the debut EP. ‘Initium II’ is a nice bridge between the old stuff and the new stuff we have coming up. It’s heavy, but not over the top but still has a strong electronic vibe running throughout.”

Lady Gaga on the cover of L’Uomo Vogue

Lady Gaga graces the cover of the January 2012 issue of L’Uomo Vogue.

It’s the Italian version of the fashion bible and since Gaga is a proud Italian, no doubt this cover is extra special for her and ranks at the top of her favorite covers she’s appeared on. We know, there are many.

Beyonce on the Cover of Downtown Magazine

The cover of Downtown Magazine is graced by Beyonce.

The black and white cover, which hones in on Bey from the neck up, focuses on her big, expressive eyes and glossy lips. Couldn’t you just get lost in that stare? Some people are so genetically blessed and she will pass all those uh-mazing genes on to Babyonce.

Beyonce Glamour Magazine Cover

Beyonce graces the cover of the French Edition of Glamour magazine.

What’s so classy about this image, where Bey rocks beachy waves that tumble for days, is how she looks super sexy while remaining mostly covered up. Yes, that hemline length (or lack of it) is reserved for bold, daring women and, well, that’s certainly a way to describe the ‘Best Thing I Never Had’ singer.
