Did the 'Idol' Top 9 rock you out?

The show ended on a wild note with all the contestants dancing around like mad on the stage.

What did you think about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tunes? Did the contestants move you?

9:22 p.m. – Paul closes out the show with Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues."

Jimmy tells him he needs to sing it crazy. I'm not sure how crazy he got, but it was rockabilly fine with him on that guitar. I felt like I was for real at a concert.

Wait, did Paul just bring it? I'm going to have to rewind the DVR and peep that again.

A New Plan on 'Parenthood'

A New Plan on 'Parenthood'

The plan was the thing on the new episode of "Parenthood."  Old plans not working out, new plans that have no hope of working out and parents' plans not working out for their kids.

Cosby is in an empty house pouring his heart out to someone.  Looks like a real estate agent.  I say "looks like" because why would he be telling all his business to a real estate agent?  And he couldn’t really be trying to buy a house while Jasmine is barely talking to him, could he?

Of course he is.  He really thinks buying a whole house will convince the woman he cheated on to come back to him.  And, for some reason, Crosby thinks telling this plan to Adam is a good idea.  Adam doesn’t want to talk to him, but he finds it in himself to tell Crosby what a stupid idea it is. Sarah was a bit easier on him about it, but not by much.

Gwen: Unlike Gaga and Rihanna, I wear pants

Gwen: Unlike Gaga and Rihanna, I wear pants

With their powerhouse vocals, quirky personalities and commanding stage presence, it's no surprise that Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Katy Perry have been compared to Gwen Stefani. But the No Doubt singer believes she has  little in common with the trio.

"I don’t see myself in those girls. I usually put pants on," she tells the May issue of Elle magazine. "I see these girls as more going for the sex-symbol thing. I was more, in the band, like a tomboy. Of course, I think every girl is sexy, so there’s going to be a little of that. But I see a lot of younger artists going more toward the sexy thing.”

That's not to say Stefani doesn't pay attention to her appearance. FULL POST

Tina Fey: My Sarah Palin impression hurt '30 Rock'

Tina Fey: My Sarah Palin impression hurt '30 Rock'

Her parody of Sarah Palin may have been a huge hit on "Saturday Night Live," but Tina Fey believes it actually has hurt the ratings for her NBC series "30 Rock," reports USA Today.

"Some may argue that exploiting Governor Palin and her family helped bring attention to my low-rated TV show,"  Fey says of "30 Rock" in her just-released book of essays, "Bossypants." "I am proud to say you are wrong."

Fey says the truth is, "My TV show still enjoys very low ratings. In fact, I think the Palin stuff may have hurt the TV show. Let's face it, between Alec Baldwin and me there is a certain 50 percent of the population who think we are pinko Commie monsters."

Madonna: I'm not being investigated

Madonna: I'm not being investigated

Following reports that plans for a school Madonna's charity was helping build in Malawi have been scrapped, the singer would like to make it clear that neither she, nor her charity, are currently under investigation.

"In recent days a number of wild and totally false rumors about Madonna's philanthropy - spread by bloggers and tabloids - have begun appearing on the internet," Madonna's  spokesperson  said in a statement to CNN.  "As we have said previously, Raising Malawi is currently undergoing a series of positive changes in an effort to serve more children."

It was reported recently that a plan to build a $15 million school for approximately 400 girls in Malawi had been halted by The Raising Malawi Academy for Girls, a Malawi based charity.

Is Angelina Jolie adopting again?

Is Angelina Jolie adopting again?

Does Angelina Jolie have another baby on the way? Her latest tattoo seems to suggest that might be the case.

On a recent U.N. goodwill mission to the Tunisia-Libya border, the star was seen sporting fresh ink on her arm, a new map of coordinates just below the already tattooed coordinates of where each of her six children were born, reports People.

It is believed that the latest numbers relate to the region Jolie is currently visiting.

Though the skin art has led to speculation that the Oscar winner and her partner Brad Pitt are getting ready to welcome another child into their brood, an insider insists to People that the couple currently have no new plans to adopt.

Stay tuned.
