Posted Feb 8th 2010 at 08:22 PM by Sam Brand

The Howard Stern 'American Idol' rumors are no longer just rumors. On Monday, the shock jock addressed the situation on his radio show, saying he'd accept a seat in the judges' booth for the right price.

On Friday, the New York Post reported the job is none other than Simon Cowell's soon vacant seat on 'American Idol.' Nobody at Fox has yet confirmed the report.

Posted Jan 7th 2010 at 02:00 AM by Rob Shuter

With Simon Cowell on the brink of ditching 'American Idol' to take the throne of 'X-Factor,' insiders tell me that executives have figured out a way to ease him out of the conversation this year -- focus on Ellen. Brilliant! Nice is the new mean in 2010, and unlike Simon, you know we're always more nice than naughty. After the jump, more details on Simon's shrinking 'Idol' role, plus George ...

Posted Jan 6th 2010 at 08:31 PM by Sam Brand

He's young enough to run around like a lunatic fit freak on live TV. And old enough to be releasing his 59th workout video.

VIDEO: A Decade of Oprah Moments

Posted Dec 16th 2009 at 01:37 PM by Scott Harris

John Travolta doesn't just own his own jet, he owns a Boeing 707. And Oprah Winfrey? Well, Oprah ...
