'American Idol' loses another one

SPOILER ALERT – Tonight's "Idol" blog will reveal who is leaving the competition, so please don't read if you don't want to know.

What a graceful exit.

I like it when the contestants can leave on a high note like tonight, performing, dancing around and receiving love from folks.

Even though I totally called the bottom three this week and who would be leaving us, it's still tough for me to say goodbye. And judging by the tears on stage every week, my feelings are shared.

A magical marriage: 'Potter' co-stars to tie the knot

Ah, supernatural love: "Harry Potter" and "Twilight Saga" actor Jamie Campbell Bower and his "Potter" co-star Bonnie Wright have announced that they are engaged.

Bower plays Caius in the "Twilight" movies and Gellert in the last two "Potter" installments, while Wright stars as Ginny Weasley in the film adaptations of the best-selling series.

The very private couple has been together since 2009, but didn’t let the public know until February 2010. Bower confirmed the engagement recently when talking with The Daily:

So what does Susan Lucci have to say about this?

After ABC announced on Thursday that it will cancel its long-running soap operas “All My Children” and “One Life to Live,” people have reacted with varying degrees of sadness, disappointment and outrage.

The fans are plotting boycotts, former stars are stunned and script writers are feeling a little slighted.

The Writer’s Guild East, which represents movie, TV and news writers, issued a statement expressing "deep disappointment" that “AMC” and “OLTL” are on the way out.

Who will be leaving 'Idol's' Top 8?

Remember this scene from last week's "Idol?"

Talk about dramatic! I don't anticipate that tonight will be anywhere near as shocking as the elimination of Pia last week, but you never know.

I keep saying I won't do it, but this week I am going to predict that Paul, Haley and Stefano will be in the bottom three with Paul heading home.

Do you agree? Who are you pulling for? And don't forget to join me here live for the elimination results.

Sign snafus on 'Modern Family'

Wednesday night's episode of "Modern Family" had a bit of a theme going.

It all started with Phil's real estate sign going horribly awry as it wrapped around the Dunphy family van to say "I can't be satisfied" with Claire's photo, and "I can make your dreams come true" next to Haley's.

Needless to say, Phil did whatever he could to cover it up, and it blew up in his face. Haley vowed that she wouldn't go home in the van: "I'll go home with anyone!" to which Alex chimed in, "That's what it should say on the van."

'Showbiz Tonight' Flashpoint: Is 'Trump for president' a publicity stunt?

Someone close to Trump today confirms that he "plans to give an announcement date" for his decision on whether he’ll run for president at the end of the “Celebrity Apprentice” (which The Donald reminds us airs May 15th).

Personally, I think Trump loves the attention and making headlines, but I don’t think he’s running. What do you think? Is this all a publicity stunt or is he serious this time around? Post your thoughts below.

Some other big stories we’re fired up about on the show today…

'All My Children,' 'One Life to Live' canceled

ABC has announced that the network is “evolving” its daytime offerings by canceling “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” and making room for two new shows.

The two longtime staples of afternoon TV-viewing will conclude in September 2011, and January 2012, respectively. (What do you think about this? Let us know with an iReport.)

So what will you be watching instead? An hour-long show all about food called “The Chew.” It’ll be hosted by “Top Chef” fan favorite Carla Hall, “Iron Chef” Michael Symon, nutrition expert Daphne Oz, “What Not to Wear’s” Clinton Kelly and Mario Batali.

Gwyneth Paltrow on re-designing her butt

When it comes to maintaining her physique, Gwyneth Paltrow has never held back – she revealed that she "did green juices and salads for three days" when she had to get ready for “Iron Man 2” - and she’s just as candid in SELF magazine’s May issue.

"I've found what works for me. I know if I put in an hour and a half, five days a week, I'm good. If I'm on vacation and, like, "F- it, I'm not working out," I know what to do when I get back,” Paltrow explains.

Gwyneth's secrets to healthy eating and a rockin' body

Like getting in 45 minutes of cardio, five days a week, "because I like to eat,” the 38-year-old actress says. “I also try for 45 minutes of muscular structure work, which is toning, realigning and lengthening. If I’m prepping for something or I’ve been eating a lot of pie, I do two hours a day, six days a week for two weeks.”

Justin Bieber takes Twitter break; world pauses

After all of the problems he was having in Israel - the paparazzi wouldn't leave him alone; he was being "pulled into politics" - Justin Bieber was apparently feeling a little annoyed.

The 17-year-old star let the Twitterverse know on Tuesday that he needed some breathing room from the social networking site...which he relayed by tweeting, of course.

"Been super frustrated and just needed some time to vent and chill...[I] want to see this country and all the places [I've] dreamed of and whether its the paps or being pulled into politics its been frustrating...Gonna take a little break from twitter and enjoy this time with my family until then," he told his legion of followers.
