Former 'Idol' judge Kara DioGuardi's expecting a babyFormer "American Idol" judge Kara DioGuardi is prepping for parenthood. The songwriter, who served as a judge on the singing competition during its eighth and ninth seasons, revealed to People magazine that she's expecting a baby boy via gestational surrogate. Jennifer Lopez: Mentally, I'm 16 to 18Jennifer Lopez applies the adage "age is nothing but a number" to herself as well as her love life. Harper's Bazaar: J.Lo's best beauty moment of 2012 The singer/dancer/actress is turning 44 this year, but she tells Harper's Bazaar in its February issue that her mental age is "16 to 18." Steven Tyler to Nicki Minaj: Sorry Nicki, but I'm not a racistWith her Mariah Carey spat put aside, Nicki Minaj has stepped into the ring with a different singer once attached to the "American Idol" behemoth: Steven Tyler. The Aerosmith frontman felt Minaj's wrath on Monday after he critiqued her judging style. Tyler told MTV that there wasn't enough "camaraderie" among the new judges, and that the "Starships" rapper would've sent Bob Dylan to a cornfield if he auditioned. Where Jennifer Lopez goes to relaxBetween being a mom, a girlfriend and a performer, she’s in the midst of a world tour with Engrique Iglesias, it seems Jennifer Lopez really can do it all. But the former “American Idol” judge told InStyle that even she needs a place to unwind every so often: “It’s called the bath. I don’t ask for much. I really am a simple girl from the Bronx. Just a nice bathroom with a tub and hot water.” What Steven Tyler loved (and hated) about 'Idol'Now that he’s no longer judging “American Idol,” Steven Tyler is free to speak his mind about the gig. "I loved it and hated it," Tyler told Rolling Stone. "It was a great job, I sat next to J. Lo and I made a ton of money. It was a moment in life and it became larger than life." Brad Paisley being eyed for 'Idol' gig?There's still one more seat open at "American Idol's" judges' table, and Deadline reports that Fox is seriously considering adding country star Brad Paisley to the mix. Considering that some of "Idol’s" most successful acts - including Carrie Underwood, Scotty McCreery and Kellie Pickler - are country stars, Deadline speculates that Paisley could be a good move, as the genre clearly has appeal with "Idol's" audience. |
