American Idol Creator Hailed as a Visionary

The man who gave us Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and, um, William Hung — Simon Fuller — will receive the Producers Guild of America's Visionary Award on Feb. 2 at their awards dinner. Sadly, his beef tenderloin will still be overcooked, and his mashed potatoes lumpy.... For his charity work, Richard Gere has been given the Marian Anderson Award by the city of Philadelphia. — Ben Katner
