American idol bikini girl Katrina Darrell

And I missed the episode too. Oh well at least I can look up pictures up on the internet like everyone else is this morning. I quit watching because it is the same old thing every year.

American idol bikini girl Katrina Darrell has become the latest viral hit of American idol season Number 8.

Katrina Darrell wore as little as she was legally able to American Idol auditions in Phoenix, Arizona and it appears that the 20-year-old model from Chino Hills, California is on her way to Hollywood.

Darrell takes the stage and sings "Vision of Love" wearing high heels and a string bikini.

After judges Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell voted yes, new judge Kara DioGuardi put her foot down, sung a few bars herself to show how the song should have been handled.


Yet the sassy Darrell made it through to the next round.

Leading up to Tuesday night's premiere of "American Idol," the stage was set for big changes: co-creator Nigel Lithgoe was out, a new fourth judge was in, and producers promised fewer bad auditions and more "reality."

It ended up being the same old same old.

Elvis' Birthday Celebrated in Graceland and Around the World

Elvis B-day is here again. I expect their will be a lot of great movies on tonight if you have cable. They might even bring some to Basic if you are lucky. I am not as big of a fan of Elvis to go all the way to Graceland, but then again I wasn't around during Elvis time.

Elvis Presley fans celebrate the milestones of the King's life like clockwork. Graceland is fuller than usual on certain anniversaries, like last year when the 30th anniversary of Elvis's death was commemorated. Today, Elvis Presley fans celebrate a less morbid milestone, of the day when it all bega



Elvis Presley's birthday will be celebrated today by Elvis fans, many of which are in Graceland already. The 74th birthday celebration should be a mere prelude to the bigger milestone of his 75th birthday in 2010.

Nevertheless, Elvis birthday tributes will be taking place all over, especially in Graceland. Elvis's birthday has already been celebrated with a few days worth of events, with a few more to come the rest of the week.

For Elvis's actual birthday today, Graceland will have gospel tributes, Elvis-style renditions of Happy Birthday, a special ceremony hosted by Priscilla Presley, birthday toy beat scavenger hunts, and more.

The Elvis birthday tributes continue on at Graceland up to Sunday, January 11. Countless other Elvis fans will likely have their own tributes set up in the rest of the country.

The Elvis birthday bashes are taking place as the Elvis industry in general continues to thrive, even during the recession. Elvis continues to be the number 1 earner among dead celebrities, according to Forbes Magazine. Presley's song "If I Can Dream" will even be used as part of Barack Obama's inaugural ceremony.

Graceland continues to see a steady supply of tourists, with attendance only down in 2008 because 2007 was the anniversary year of Elvis's death. Graceland will undergo more developments and improvements in the years to come.

The anniversary of Elvis's birthday is more joyous to celebrate than his death, one would imagine. His first birthday on January 8, 1934 is when the whole Elvis phenomenon technically kicked off, after all.

The anniversary of his death, on August 16, is a bit more mournful, especially considering what Presley had become by then. But it may not be so sad for those who are in the "Elvis is still alive" camp.

Still, Elvis's birthday is another occasion to celebrate the King's life, especially when it was facing happier times.

Craig Ferguson Married

I don't know much about Craig Ferguson myself, but this person does.



My favorite Scotsman turned American comedian has gotten married. Oh the heartbreak! See pictures of HER an a video below.

Craig Ferguson

Craig Ferguson and Megan Wallace-Cunningham

Craig Ferguson announced on his show tonight that he married his long time girlfriend Megan Wallace-Cunningham. That, of course, begs the question of what she’ll be called. Is she now Megan Wallace-Cunningham-Ferguson? In the show tonight, Ferguson suggested they be called ‘Cragan’ as in ‘Brangelina’.

She’s an art dealer from Vermont and the two have apparently been dating since 2005. They got married at her parents farm in Vermont.

Seriously, Best Wishes.

Are Holly Madison & Criss Angel getting Married?

Will there be a double wedding at the Playboy Mansion this summer?

Just three days after Girls Next Door star Kendra Wilkinson announced that she and Hank Baskett will get hitched at Hugh Hefner's famed estate on June 27, fellow costar Holly Madison was spotted looking at rings in Las Vegas with her Mindfreak boyfriend, Criss Angel

An eyewitness tells me Madison and Angel hit Berger & Son Fine Jewelers in the Fashion Show mall at about 5 p.m. on Christmas Eve.

"They were looking at one ring and Criss said, 'Would you marry me?' " our spy reports. "Holly didn't say anything. She just looked at him."

But then the couple saw that a crowd was beginning to form in front of the store, so they quickly took off.

"Criss handed the ring back to the sales guy and said, 'Thanks,' " the spy said.

Reps for Madison and Angel say we shouldn't go looking for their wedding registry just yet. "Criss bought Holly a ring for her birthday," Madison's rep said. "It's a flower ring."

Darn it! We were hoping to see Hef walking both Wilkinson and Madison down the aisle at the same time.

Meanwhile, I'm told Madison and Angel's families met for the first time last week when they celebrated Christmas together in Vegas.

John Travolta's 16-year-old son "Jett Travolta" dies in Bahamas

You always hate to hear when something like this happens to anybody. Our condolences to the Travolta Family.


NASSAU, Bahamas - John Travolta's teenage son, Jett, died in the Bahamas after falling ill and hitting his head at his family's vacation home, police said Friday. A house caretaker found Jett, 16, unconscious in a bathroom late Friday morning. He was taken by ambulance to a Freeport hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to a statement from chief police superintendent Basil Rahming.

The teenager had last been seen going into the bathroom on Thursday and had a history of seizures, according to the statement. Police said they are planning an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

Another police spokeswoman, Loretta Mackey, said Jett apparently hit his head on the bathtub.

A spokeswoman for Rand Memorial Hospital in Freeport said she could not release any information because of privacy concerns.

Jett was the oldest child of Travolta and his wife, actress Kelly Preston, who also have an 8-year-old daughter. The family arrived on a private plane Tuesday and had been vacationing at their home in the Old Bahama Bay resort community.

"The Travolta family has become like family to us at Old Bahama Bay and we extend our deepest sympathies to them," said Robert Gidel, president of Ginn Resorts, the property's owner.
