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.

I can read some of your minds.

Now that Casey Abrams has been eliminated, I bet a few of you are questioning whether the judges threw away their save.

Admit it, some of you are still bitter that they weren't able to use it for Pia, because they had earlier saved Casey. It's OK, we can be honest here. FULL POST

Demi Moore's new role: Lifetime TV producer

Demi Moore has landed the deal of a Lifetime—the actress is set to executive-produce three new series for the network.

According to The Wrap, Moore's just-inked agreement calls for her to produce two new scripted dramas for the women's channel as well as a talk show.

The latter, called "The Conversation," will be based on a Web series hosted by British personality Amanda de Cadanet, who will chat with "some of the world’s most famous women to discuss topics universal to all women," says Lifetime.

Moore, who previously produced the "Austin Powers" movies and HBO's "If These Walls Could Talk," says she hopes "The Conversation" will provide an outlet "where women feel that they are no longer on the ‘outside looking in’ but are there connecting from the ‘inside out!’"

Rob Lowe on that infamous sex tape

It’s been more than 20 years since Rob Lowe was traipsing about as a member of the “Brat Pack” – a name for his then-circle of celeb friends that the 47-year-old actor now heartily accepts – and the road to fame has changed.

Back in his day, Lowe told Oprah Winfrey on her show Thursday, when one’s sex tape caught the attention of the press, it wasn’t a good thing.

And the “Parks and Recreation” star should know: he was at the forefront of sex tape leaks, thanks to a video of the actor and two young women, one of whom was 16, making headlines back in 1989.

The site says that apart from Pivarnick admitting to being with child, she had no other comment. The father is said to be Dave Kovacs, her fiance since February.
