I'm going to go ahead and declare this one a definite upgrade from last season.

Everyone can sing, though some are stronger than others. Thursday night's elimination should be interesting. I love seeing the singers work with a stable of established producers and I think it showed in the performances.

So far is Season 10 all you thought it would be? Or is it just so-so for you thus far? Who do you think will be the first to get the boot?

Sound off!

9:55 p.m. - No one gets the number "13" for their phone number because it's unlucky.

Do we think that will really help?

9:51 p.m. - I don't know, Naima.

It's finally here!

The first night of competition of this season's "American Idol" is off and running and I am super duper excited. I've got a feeling it's going to be an awesome season and I look forward to  your comments.

Seacrest announces that "The crowd is ready" and here we go!

Charlie Sheen may have been fired from "Two and a Half Men," but the actor isn't wanting for job offers.

Steven Hirsch, the founder and co-chairman of adult film company Vivid Entertainment, sent a letter to the 45-year-old actor requesting that he consider working on one of their films.

Hirsch explains in the letter, dated March 3, that Sheen would be just perfect for a parody entitled “Two and a Half Women” that will be filmed for Vivid.com “within the next several days.”

“We think it would be great if you would come in and direct the movie,” Hirsch writes. “You pick the scenarios, positions, etc. The fact that you are the ultimate connoisseur of adult films would definitely work to your advantage.”

Plus, Hirsch goes on, “based on all the publicity you have been getting, I am sure the sales will be outrageous.” How’s that for incentive?

Hirsch adds that although the film may star three actresses he thinks Sheen is already familiar with, the actor should feel free to bring along the Goddesses – you know, for directorial help, or perhaps to "jump in the scene."

"In any event," Hirsch says in closing, "the set is yours...The whole world will be watching."

Julianne Moore playing Sarah Palin? You 'betcha.

CNN has confirmed that the actress will portray the polarizing politician in HBO Film's "Game Change."

According to a statement, the movie is based on the 2010 book by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, and follows John McCain's presidential campaign from the moment he selected Palin as his running mate to their defeat in the general election.

Danny Strong wrote the script and Jay Roach is serving as director; the two previously worked together on HBO's 2008 movie,  "Recount."

Of course, we gotta ask: Who should play McCain?

Jennifer Hudson flaunts her new, attention-getting figure on the April cover of Essence, but the singer/actress admits she wasn't aware until recently that her sleek physique was such a weighty issue.

"I didn't realize that so many people were watching me or that so many people were interested," says the Weight Watchers spokesperson, who has shed approximately 80 pounds. "Now people come up to me saying, 'You've inspired me,' and I'm like, Wow."

All eyes may be on Hudson, but her focus remains on her family: fiancé David Otunga and their 19-month-old son David. "I want to be just as dedicated as a wife as I am to my career or to who I am," she tells Essence. "I don't want to do anything and just be halfway in it. If I'm going to be a wife, I'm going to be a wife. I want to be all in."

It's that time again "Idol"-ators - time to join me as I live blog the performance and results shows for Season 10 of "American Idol."

This year there are new judges and a new stage to go along with the brand new crop of contestants. There's also tons of talent this time around, but do you already have a favorite?

Let us know and be sure to join us right here when the show starts.

It looks like the dysfunctional Bluth family really are headed to the big screen. Jason Batemen confirms that a script for the "Arrested Development" movie is currently being written and the storyline is "incredible."

Rumors of an "Arrested Development" film have been swirling ever since the Fox series was canceled in 2006. Bateman tells MTV News that show creator Mitchell Hurwitz is currently at work on the script and the two have discussed the plot points.

"For the very first time, [Hurwitz] sat me down last week to talk about what he's got and where he's going and what do I think," says Bateman, whose co-stars on the quirky comedy included Michael Cera, Portia de Rossi and Will Arnett. "As a fan of the show, I was vibrating with excitement that he was pulling me behind the curtain."

I can't believe how much I am loving Gwyneth Paltrow on "Glee."

Seriously, I was never a Gwynnie fan back in the day (and I was not alone) and now I am all chips in with her Holly Holiday character on the show. Her attempts to impart some sex education to the "Glee" kids tickled me to no end.

So many witty lines, and such great comedic timing. I absolutely am adding "And everyone's got a random" to my list of favorite quips.

Charlie Sheen’s jaw-dropping webcasts and machete-wielding antics have been disturbing. He’s making remarkable new attacks against his “Two and a Half Men” co-stars. Even Charlie himself today is reportedly admitting that he’s losing his mind! And that’s got a lot of people asking: Is Charlie losing it? Or is he just playing us?

I do not believe, for one second, that Charlie's putting us on.

Why would he show up on set late last year having lost 20 pounds? Why would he have trashed that New York hotel room in October? Nobody in his right mind would act like this on purpose. Charlie’s lost custody of his twin boys, and he’s lost his very lucrative job. Something is seriously wrong, and I’m worried Charlie’s going to do something drastic. What do you think?
