J.Lo, Gwen Stefani Rumored to Be Idol-bound
Access Hollywood is hearing from reliable sources that
Gwen Stefani will perform (not her incredibly lame-o new single, I hope) on the Mar. 28 edition of
American Idol, and that
Jennifer Lopez will put in an appearance of her own on Apr. 11.
What's more, the TV newsmag says the speculation is that the
"special" something Fantasia will announce on this Thursday's show is
not "the biggest thing" to hit
Idol in five years by any stretch, but merely that she is [
yawn] joining the cast of Broadway's/Oprah Winfrey's
The Color Purple, which has been saddled by poor ticket sales ever since the holiday tourist crowds dissipated.
Speaking of
Idol, may I brag (to those who missed it below but are nonetheless susceptible to awe) that I missed the date for
Ryan and Simon's first homoerotic exchange (Cowell calling the host, "Sweetheart") by just
two days?
