Oh, to remember the days when you got the hook by way of CB radio....American Idol Carrie Underwood tells TV's Extra that she and Chace Crawford snuffed their months-old romance through a series of text messages, claiming, "It was completely mutual. It just didn't work... and we both knew it. No hard feelings whatsoever." Underwood goes on to say that she hasn't talked to Chace "in a while, but I don't dislike him."Spoke too soon?

Episode Recap: Tina Fey Hosts, Carrie Underwood Performs | Saturday Night Live | 2/24/2008
Hello! Are you as stoked as I am to be watching Saturday Night Live again... and with our beloved 30 Rock star Tina Fey rockin' the premiere episode? (Sorry, I could not care less about Carrie Underwood, even though she's talented.) Yes, tonight is the night that SNL can reignite its fans' passion for the show... or it could fail miserably (but we'll still get to have a few episodes of 30 Rock to heal our wounds).So this recap will be a little different. I'll go skit by skit, and give my... read more
Episode Recap: Narrowing It Down to the Final 24 | American Idol | 2/14/2008
If there's one thing that irks me about American Idol, it's the incessant product placements and cross-promotions. Tonight did not get off to a good start, as Ryan did his shtick with a clearly uncomfortable Hayden Christensen in a cringe-inducing promo for Jumper. To finish it off, Hayden even had a can of that omnipresent Idol sponsor, Coke, in his hand. Blech.But then it came time for the actual eliminations, which were far more exciting. It always amazes me that at this point, with all the... read more
Best Grammy 2008 Performances | Today's Top Videos | 2/11/2008
Kanye West Performs “Stronger” with Daft Punk and “Hey Mama”As much as the cocky rapper continues to irk us with his high and mighty comments regarding who deserves certain awards (that acceptance speech definitely put us over the edge—see it here if you missed it), we still have to admit he is a damn good performer. His Kanye-from-the-future performance of “Stronger” was equally as good as his tribute to his mama. Amy Winehouse Performs and “Rehab”... read more
Episode Recap: Atlanta Auditions | American Idol | 2/6/2008
Tonight's American Idol auditions were in Hotlanta, Mr. Seacrest's hometown, so I guess it shouldn't have come as a surprise that we got to meet his mom and dad. Pretty cute, I'd say, though his dad did look a little like he was running for public office (then again, it's Super Tuesday, so maybe I just have politics on the brain). We also now know how they stretched out the audition portion of this season — by creating montages of Paula being wishy-washy. Oy. Tomorrow night is the best of... read more
American Idol's Best Auditions Ever | The Great American Idol Blog | 2/5/2008
This Wednesday's American Idol is a "Best of the Rest" recap of the Season 7 auditions we didn't see throughout each city. That got us thinking about some of the best auditions we've seen, regardless of whether the candidate went on to Idol greatness. Instead of a top-10 list, we thought we'd have a battle of the sexes: the best women's auditions versus the best from the men. — Erin FoxTop Five Women's Auditions5) Frenchie Davis, "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" | Watch on YouTubeHoly... read more

AMAs Continue Awards Shows' Idol Worship | Today's News: Our Take | 11/19/2007
Two people who once hung on Ryan Seacrest's every word were big winners at Sunday's American Music Awards. Chris Daughtry's band took home pop-rock album, breakthrough-artist and adult-contemporary honors, while Carrie Underwood also scored a hat trick, winning the female country artist, country album (Some Hearts) and T-Mobile text-voted awards. Alas, backstage, the AP reports, Daughtry pulled a Clarkson by saying that American Idol "didn't make me who I am. It just gave me a chance to show... read more

May 23, 2007: To Know Her Is to Love Her | American Idol | 5/24/2007
Everyone was in the house for the grand finale of American Idol, as Jordin and Blake opened the show with a long-awaited Beatles tune. "I Saw Her Standing There" was a premonition of things to come. We drifted quickly into a performance by the touring Gwen Stefani singing her song “4 in the Morning.” She looked and sounded fantastic. Red-carpet tidbits — there were lots of Idols both past and present. However, the real stars were ushered past me on the red-carpet press line at... read more

April 25, 2007: 70 Million Votes and Everyone's Safe! | American Idol | 4/26/2007
This is going to be a different kind of blog tonight as I am frankly stunned, shocked and really pleasantly surprised that Idol pulled this little telethon together so quickly and so effectively. Idol is in a position to do something to help others less fortunate, and I am proud they took this opportunity to do it. They have friends in very high places, and scores of Idol-worshiping celebrities offered their services to help spread the message. Not only that, but they partnered with One.org to... read more
Former Idol Winner Follows Hollywood's Slim Crowd | As If! | 4/18/2007
Another one bites the dust. Well, actually, it seems Carrie Underwood isn't biting on much at all these days. The Season 4 American Idol champ is looking slimmer than ever and I'm beginning to fear a bobblehead shape taking form before my very eyes. I remember reading past articles in which the blonde beauty said she loved pizza and other treats, but I'm not sure that holds true any longer. Don't celebs just say they love junk food, anyway? I can't say I'm shocked, because we've all seen this... read more

March 8, 2007: "Half Full or Half Empty?" | American Idol | 3/9/2007
There were no real surprises in the beginning; though I thought Phil would be going home, somehow I’m not surprised he’s staying. Jared is the first one to leave this week. Maybe it was the argyle. What the heck was that song Carrie sang? It was dreadful and she shouted the chorus repeatedly. If that’s any indication of what an Idol can look forward to, I hope my favorites don’t make it to that unhappy place. Let’s get on with it. Antonella had a lot of hair, but... read more

Say "What?!" Faith Hill Insists She Didn't Dis Carrie | Today's News: Our Take | 11/7/2006
Responding to claims that she had an adverse (if not outright rude) reaction to Carrie Underwood being named female vocalist of the year at Monday night's CMA Awards — the people's Exhibit A, which can be found at YouTube, clearly shows Hill exclaiming, "What?!" — Faith Hill asserts that she did not undermine Underwood.

American Idol's Carrie Conquers | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 5/31/2005
At last week's Southern showdown on American Idol, Carrie Underwood ? the 21-year-old Reese Witherspoon look-alike from Oklahoma ? captured the coveted title. Of course, the wholesome young lady had already been crowned America's sweetheart well before she officially snagged more votes than Bo Bice, the 29-year-old rocker from Alabama. Next up, she goes on a whirlwind publicity tour to promote the heck out of herself, and particularly her first single, "Inside Your Heaven," which drops June 14.... read more

Idol's Baby V. Voted Off | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 5/24/2005
Last week audiences decided not to bring back Vonzell Solomon, aka Baby V., return to hit them with her vocal stylings one more time in the American Idol finals. The perky 20-year-old former Floridian mail carrier lost out to popular powerhouses Carrie Underwood and Bo Bice. So who does Baby V. have her money on to win?

Idol's Miracle Boy Says Goodbye | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 5/17/2005
Both boosters and detractors of American Idol's Anthony Fedorov have called him this season's answer to Clay Aiken. But don't expect the formerly bespectacled 20-year-old to record anything like "Invisible." Although born in Ukraine and raised in suburban Pennsylvania, Fedorov ? dubbed a "miracle boy" for singing in spite of his childhood tracheotomy ? prefers music with a Latin flair. Should he land a recording contract, look for his debut album to be less Aiken, more Marc Anthony. "I want ... read more

If you read yesterday's Insider, you may've been surprised to learn that Constantine Maroulis stands at a lofty 6-foot-3. "I slouch," he tells TVGuide.com. It's no shocker to anyone, ... read more
