I believe it was the great Twitter account of Dave Holmes who once said " I am not emotionally prepared for the return of American Idol." None of us were, Dave, and yet here it is, American Idol, Season 9, all new in two thousand and ten... and yet so strangely unfamiliar.This week has already felt different, restrained and uncomfortable, like a pair of skinny jeans after Christmas, as perhaps our most beloved Idol judge Paula Abdul was no longer around, instead replaced by a Schindler;s List extra and Mary J. Blige. While Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham did little other than complimenting people;s looks and sucking 4 cubic centimeters of carbon dioxide out of the room, Mary J. Blige on the other hand brought the "LOLs," as they say, with her consistent restrained laughter. She induced tears out of herself, and may have even pulled her back out, trying as she did not to hurt any feelings while simultaneously sh*tting in her pants dying laughing. It wasn;t Paula, but it would do. Kar watch

Jude Law was on Letterman Thursday night to promote "Sherlock Holmes," and while there he forgot to mention his new fourth child and he defended chucking fruit at the windows of NYU dorms from his West Village rental. Also - was he wearing lipstick?Samantha Burke, a Florida woman who slept with Law while he was filming "Holmes" in New York, gave birth to their daughter Sophia in September. In a talk about Christmas plans, Dave asked him how many kids he has and Law said "three." He has three children with ex-wife Sadie Frost.Then Dave brought up Law's brush with the NYU dorms, in which he took to hurling fruit at the windows of freshmen who would watch him working out on his terrace below them, and Law laughed and defended his actions.Also, do his lips look extra pink? Maybe it's just all his recent outings with former fiancee and reported on-again lady friend Sienna Miller.
