The Idol (Less) Rich: For Jessica Sanchez, No Guaranteed Album Deal, Likely Smaller Payday
27 May 2012 3:40 PM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
For what appears to be the first time in American Idol history, the first runner-up is not being awarded a guaranteed album deal that comes with a $175,000 advance.
The reworking of the prize package terms for Season 11 was discovered by the Associated Press upon review of show contracts from eight of the past 11 seasons.
Season 11 runner-up Jessica Sanchez is not guaranteed an album deal (with 19 Recordings Inc.) that pays a $175,000 advance, as Season 10 counterpart Lauren Alaina was, says the AP’s findings. Instead, the 16-year-old is subject to a “development” deal that could net her as little as $30,000 to $60,000, depending »

Carrie Underwood Planning Children 'Far In The Future' With Mike Fisher
25 May 2012 2:02 PM, PDT | Access Hollywood | See recent Access Hollywood news »
Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher hope to expand their family - one day. But the happily married couple, now in their second year of wedded bliss, have differing opinions on how big their family should grow.
"He would love to have a big family... he grew up with a big family, but I think his parents are far better than I, and far more patient then I," Carrie laughed on the "American Idol" Results Show red carpet, while speaking with AccessHollywood.com's Laura Saltman.
Mike previously told Oprah Winfrey, in an episode of "Oprah's Next Chapter," that he'd like ...

Jessica Sanchez Doesn't Get Much For Being An 'Idol' Runner-Up
25 May 2012 10:55 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Los Angeles -- Coming in second on "American Idol" may still be a path to superstardom, but it no longer offers guaranteed paychecks worthy of the next pop idol or rock star.
Wednesday night's runner-up, 16-year-old Jessica Sanchez, doesn't have a definite shot at producing an album and could be paid as little as $30,000 in advances for recording singles, according to the "Idol" contract she and other Season 11 contestants signed earlier this year.
The agreement appears to be the first time in "Idol's" history that producers are not offering the show's runner-up an album deal that in previous years came with a guaranteed advance of at least $175,000, an Associated Press review of the Fox show's contracts reveals.
The analysis covers eight of "Idol's" 11 seasons during which contracts filed for contestants under the age of 18 were available. The contracts were reviewed by judges in accordance with a California law »

'Duets' premiere: Kelly Clarkson's duets scored low - what did you think?
24 May 2012 8:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"Duets" kicks off Thursday night (May 24) on ABC, so let's dish about the new singing competition show, shall we? We also have to get this out of the way right at the top - Robin Thicke really weird us out, because he's like Bizarro Jason Seaver. He sounds so much like his dad, but then looks slightly off. It always throws us for a loop.
Tonight's theme is the Superstars' Biggest Hits, which they will perform with their eight mentees, which have already been selected. Before we get to any singing, the show has a montage for each star finding his or her contestants, leading into some performances
1. Jennifer Nettles and J Rome, "Tonight"
J Rome has a very smooth R&B voice, which is lovely, but we aren't sure it meshes with Nettles' country voice overly well. They aren't bad or anything, but it just doesn't blend as much as it should, »

Cmt Execs on Why 'American Idol' Rules Country and How the Industry is 'Divided' on Reality Show Success
24 May 2012 1:07 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
Though Tuesday night’s American Idol victor, Phillip Phillips, is a rocker, the show has undoubtedly become a breeding ground for country artists. From Carrie Underwood to Kellie Pickler to Scotty McCreery, a fair amount will be represented at next month’s 11th Annual Cmt Music Awards. Cmt President Brian Philips tells The Hollywood Reporter that shows like Idol and The Voice have been “particularly kind to country.” Photos: Cmt Awards 2011 Red Carpet Arrivals “I think these music competition shows have been good for music… These shows have given us some of our biggest and prolific stars,” Philips said.

‘American Idol’ Season 11 Review: Winner Crowned!
24 May 2012 1:03 PM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
The moment we have all been waiting for has arrived. After over 132 million votes, 21 year old Phil Phillips from Leesburg, Ga has been crowned the winner of American Idol Season 11. What a glorious moment this was. The finale was jam packed with surprise performances, a two hour celebration concert leading up to the big moment, the win that many may have wanted but not anticipated actually happening. That’s what makes this win so fantastic! The underdog took it home! The one contestant who made no apologies or excuses for being true to himself all season long took the win. Congratulations Phil Phillips! A win well deserved!
A Top 12 reunion was our first treat of the night as our favorites (minus the two finalists) opened with “Runaway Baby” by Bruno Mars. This was one of the most unforgettable group performances for a few reasons. First, this was a wonderful song »

Laura Prudom: 'Idol' Finale: Why Phillip Phillips And The 'White Guy With Guitar' Trend Are Bad For Business
24 May 2012 5:47 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Last night, America crowned Phillip Phillips, the 21-year-old pawn shop worker from Georgia, as the latest "American Idol."
This should've come as a surprise to exactly no one, given that Phillip is now the fifth in an uninterrupted line of "White Guys With Guitars" who have snagged the coveted crown over the past few seasons. I was noting the bias towards "Wgwg" way back in my recap of the Top 24 -- although in those halcyon days, I was foolishly giving the edge to Colton, just because he was more conventionally attractive (and more annoying), even going so far as to note: "He's white, male and can play an instrument, so he'll probably win." Close enough, right?
Clearly, I was discounting the sympathy votes Phil-Phil would earn for his kidney problems, but I did note that he had one of the stand-out performances in the first live round. I've enjoyed a »

Which Celebrities Attended The American Idol Season Finale, And Who Was The Winner?
24 May 2012 2:35 AM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
Another year, and another season of American Idol has run its course. But before we tell you who the Season 11 winner is, we wanted to discuss who turned up for the results show. As expected, AI alumni swarmed. One of the most famous of this group is Carrie Underwood, who arrived looking super glam in Badgley Mischka along with her husband, Mike Fisher. Jordin Sparks looked lovely in white, along with Jason Derulo. Taylor Hicks, Fantasia, Pia Toscano, Haley Reinhart and a fair few posed on the carpet too. It was a particularly special night for two past Idol-ers. Remember Ace Young and Diana Degarmo? Well, they’ve been dating for some time now, and he actually proposed to her onstage at the show! She said yes, of course. We were also correct in assuming that Rihanna would have dreadlocks while performing, because that’s precisely the look she »

American Idol Results: The Season 11 Winner Is...
23 May 2012 8:10 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
The American Idol journey for Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez ends tonight. At the time the finale started, nearly 3,000 TV Fanatics had voted in our Face-Off and y'all have Jessica winning by a narrow margin.
Let's see if you got it right.
American Idol Season 11 Winner: Announced!
The 10 castoffs open the night with "Runaway Baby" by Bruno Mars. Man, there was a whole lot of talent in this season's contestants. This is easily one of the best group numbers I've ever seen on this show and I'm almost never a fan of the group sings. I even feel like there's more choreography than we've seen in years. Dare I say it, I think this tour will be a fun one.
In Phillip Phillips' first performance of the night, he's teaming up with John Fogerty from Ccr for "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" and "Bad Moon Rising." The performances aren't spectacular, »

Tonight’s American Idol season finale will feature either Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips as this year’s Idol winner.

Carrie Underwood, winner of Idol’s fourth season, is now one of country’s biggest stars. But every great artists starts somewhere, and Underwood vividly recalls her experience during the Idol finale (she won over Bo Bice). (Click on the audio player to hear Carrie Underwood) Carrie Underwood

Adam Lambert earns first No. 1 on The Billboard 200
23 May 2012 2:11 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
One American Idol replaces another at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, as Adam Lambert’s “Trespassing” bows at the summit while Carrie Underwood’s “Blown Away” falls No. 1 to No. 3. It’s Lambert’s first No. 1 album after his debut studio set “For Your Entertainment” made it to No. 3 in 2009 with 198,000 copies. However, “Trespassing” moved only 77,000 copies, the smallest sum for a No. 1-scoring album since Adele’s “21” held onto the penthouse with 76,000 back in August 2011. Funny enough, “21” is right behind Lambert at No. 2, with 63,000 copies (a 38% decrease in sales). Underwood’s »

Adam Lambert Makes History As The First Openly Gay Male Artist To Top Album Charts
23 May 2012 9:17 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Adam Lambert is making history this week by reportedly becoming the first openly gay male artist to top the Billboard album charts.
As Billboard's Keith Caulfield is reporting, Lambert snagged the No. 1 spot with his sophomore effort, "Trespassing," which sold 77,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Interestingly, it's a case of one "American Idol" alum replacing another, as Lambert's chart debut toppled Carrie Underwood's "Blown Away," which drops to No. 3.
Including Underwood, Lambert is the seventh "American Idol" finalist to reach No. 1, following Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken, Chris Daughtry (of Daughtry) and Scotty McCreery, according to Billboard.
But Lambert's chart triumph is also historic, as it marks the first time an openly gay male performer accomplishes that feat. As AfterElton notes, "Other gay performers such as Elton John and George Michael have hit No. 1, but only before they came out, and they haven't managed that honor since."
Lambert seemingly acknowledged that accomplishment, »

In 2003, Jane Pauley spoke with Michael J. Fox as part of her final Dateline broadcast. Nine years later, Pauley returns to Dateline for the first time to sit down with Fox once again. An excerpt from their latest interview:
Pauley: But you call Parkinson's a gift.
