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.

Thursday nights are always such a mixed bag for me.

One one hand, we are one person closer to the Season 10 winner of "American Idol." Yet on the other, we are losing yet another talented contestant.

Tonight's choice to go home was not a huge surprise, but I still liked the kid.

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.

8:59 p.m. – James hasn't stopped crying, and there's a great moment when he runs out and lifts his buddy up off of his feet before giving him a bear hug.

She won an Oscar for "Chicago" and now Catherine Zeta-Jones is tuning up for another movie musical. The actress has just been cast as a villain in the upcoming film adaptation of Broadway's "Rock of Ages."

Zeta-Jones will play the Los Angeles mayor's wife, a conservative woman who wants to rid the world of rock and roll, Deadline reports. The character does not appear in the stage version of "Rock of Ages" and was created specifically for the movie.

"There are so many plotlines in the piece, we thought it would be fun to create a villain, and a cultural discussion point," director Adam Shankman told Deadline. "She's the moral majority person, kind of like if Tipper Gore and Anita Bryant had a love child in that era. To have a great actress who won an [Oscar] in this genre with 'Chicago' is wonderful."

Whether you've heard the leaked version or the official track that dropped today, no doubt Beyonce's latest empowerment anthem "Run the World (Girls)" has marched its way over and implanted itself on a hard-to-shake loop in your head. (Oh, that's just us? Moving on...)

Snippets from the song's demo have been circulating the Web for days, but the single's Thursday release offers the full Diplo-produced experience.

"Who run the world?" she asks in the hook, and goes on to provide an answer: "Girls!"

If you see Heidi Montag waiting tables, it's not because she's fallen on hard times. "The Hills" star is teaming up with six fellow celebrities for a restaurant-themed VH1 reality show called "Famous Food."

In the series, Montag, Danielle Staub ("Real Housewives of New Jersey"), Jake Pavelka ("The Bachelor"), Vincent Pastore ("The Sopranos"), singer/mistress Ashley Dupre and Three 6 Mafia members DJ Paul and Juicy "J" will spend eight weeks working at a new restaurant—also called Famous Food—and attempt to turn it into a hit.

Each week, they'll be faced with a different challenge, including renovating the space, agreeing on a restaurant concept, drafting marketing plans, crafting a menu, hiring staff and ensuring a scandal-free grand-opening. Whoever contributes the most to the restaurant's success will ultimately be crowned the winner and receive a partnership stake in the restaurant.

With a crew that includes Staub and Montag, expect things to get pretty heated when the one-hour, 10-episode series premieres this fall.

Mother Monster Lady Gaga made a faux paw when she let the “R” word slip during an interview with NME magazine.

The 25-year-old was firing back at accusations that her song “Born This Way” is a rip-off of Madonna’s “Express Yourself,” saying, “I’m a songwriter. I’ve written loads of music. Why would I try to put out a song and think I’m getting one over on everybody? That’s retarded.”

That's not all:

Before Oprah Winfrey leaves daytime TV, she's bringing back one of her most infamous guests: controversial writer James Frey. CNN has confirmed that Frey will appear on Winfrey's show sometime in May.

Winfrey helped to make Frey a best-seller when she endorsed his memoir "A Million Little Pieces," but after learning that some of the content was fabricated, the 57-year-old host had Frey join her on the show once more in 2006 for an interesting - and uncomfortable - interview.

That may all be water under the bridge now, though - a source reportedly told the New York Post that Winfrey has apologized for doling out such a tongue-lashing.

Golden Globe winner Chris Colfer is a man of many talents. Besides acting and singing on "Glee," he's just written a new TV pilot for the Disney Channel.

Deadline reports that Colfer has penned the script for "The Little Leftover Witch," which is based on Florence Laughlin's children's book about Felina, a witch who is taken in by the Doon family after her broomstick gets busted.

This isn't Colfer's first writing gig, however.

Wednesday night's episode of "Modern Family" was a nice example of the show at its best. I can't say that it was one of my favorites of the season, but it was solidly scripted, with a story that (mostly) revolved around Cam and Mitchell's decision as to who should be Lily's guardians if anything happened to them.

The most obvious choice were the Dunphys, with three kids of their own. Unfortunately for Phil and Claire, this decision happened to coincide with their worst parenting day ever, starting with a disastrous scene involving fire and Alex getting trapped in the garage, in front of Cam and Mitchell. Phil's cries of, "Son of Jor-El! Everybody stay calm!" didn't help matters.

Not only did Claire try to sneak Luke into therapy (something Phil found out about pretty quickly, before it was pointed out that Phil and Luke have a little too much in common), but they ended up accidentally leaving him in the parking lot after his session. If that wasn't enough, Haley and Alex had to be picked up from jail after a moment of delinquent sisterly bonding.
