American Idol

It's hard to believe it's a private residence.

'American Idol' may not be the ratings juggernaut it once was, but that doesn't mean its fans are any less passionate.

Kellie Pickler might be most famous for her time as the bubbly and slightly ditzy songstress from season five of 'American Idol,' but that could change after what she's done in the name of friendship.  When Pickler's BFF, Summer Holt Miller, was diagnosed with breast cancer in June, the blonde singer decided to support her friend by shaving her head in solidarity.

Phillip Phillips' 'American Idol' win may have upset some people. None of them, however, were as upset as this little girl.

A few years ago, it looked as if Jennifer Lopez had lost her clout as a celebrity. But since she joined 'American Idol' two years ago, Lopez has reinvigorated her career in a dramatic way. And now, she's made the top spot on Forbes' list of the 100 most powerful celebs in the world. As Lopez herself might say, that's enough to give us "goosies."

Dolly Parton may have written and first recorded 'I Will Always Love You,' but Whitney Houston's soaring voice made it forever hers. Because Houston sang the song so perfectly, it is one of the most intimidating vocals for any singer to attempt, particularly so soon after Houston's death thrust the tune back into the spotlight.

Given his debauched rock star past, Steven Tyler is a man who knows his female anatomy. The Aerosmith singer put that knowledge to use on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' Monday, and did his part to settle the debate over Jennifer Lopez's nipple that's been going on since Sunday's Academy Awards.

During the first day of Hollywood Week on 'American Idol,' contestant Symone Black passed out and took a terrible fall off the stage. But after a quick trip to the hospital, the plucky 16-year-old was back in time to participate in the group round.

After a strong performance of Otis Redding's 'Sitting by the Dock of the Bay' during 'American Idol''s Hollywood Week, Symone Black should've been on top of the world. But instead, the sixteen-year old found herself in the pits after she fell off the stage while nervously engaging in post-song chatter with judge Randy Jackson.

Open casting calls for 'American Idol' have brought out lots of memorable singers, good and bad. But they've also spawned a chance for the next generation to get discovered, including some young women who are seeking their own versions of the fame they've seen their fathers achieve.

Last night on 'American Idol,' viewers were treated to a pleasant, if somewhat forgettable, audition by Jim Carrey's 24-year-old daughter, Jane. But the real highlight was when judge Jennifer Lopez, who starred with Jane's famous father on 'In Living Color' back in the '90s, admitted that she suddenly felt very old...

As a comedian, Jimmy Kimmel was certainly sad to see Texas governor Rick Perry drop out of Republican primary this week. So he gave him a farewell more fitting of an 'American Idol' contestant.

Great talent was in no short supply during the season 11 premiere of 'American Idol' last night. But a 20-year-old with the unlikely name of Phillip Phillips may have given the best audition of all during tryouts in Savannah, Georgia.
