American Idol

We know Ryan Seacrest is a little guy, but this is ridiculous. We're not sure if this dog is just regular-sized and looks gigantic, or if it's really a big guy.

Well, if the Spice Girls don't want her back, American television will certainly take her!

Victoria Beckham, who's already been snapped up by American Idol for guest judging, is rumored to have accepted a small role on Gossip Girl.

Major!

Who wants to smell like Simon Cowell? Why does this sound like an idea for a new reality show?

Our favorite meanie American Idol judge, along with his fellow hosts on X-Factor, is getting his own cologne.

In case anyone cares, Justin Guarini is getting married this weekend, he's announced. He's marrying Reina Capodici. They went to high school together in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.

We definitely did not see this one coming, but it looks like a stroke of genius! Fox announced yesterday that Ellen DeGeneres will be joining American Idol this season as the fourth judge, replacing the departing Paula Abdul. She won't be giving up her talk show. She will continue to do both, she says.

Paula Adbul might be plotting to take American Idol down, but Simon Cowell still misses her. He says, "I miss her, of course," and that the show is just different without her.

They say living well is the best revenge, but for Paula Abdul that might not be enough.

Abdul, whose in-demand status since her exit from American Idol must be leaving Idol execs with some regrets, is reportly on a mission to destroy the popular reality competition show.

American Idol may be replacing Paula Abdul with Posh Spice, at least temporarily, but that doesn't mean the "Straight Up" singer is likely to disappear from your TV screen any time soon.

Abdul is proving more popular than ever since leaving Idol, with both ABC execs and So You Think You Can Dance's Nigel Lythgoe wooing her with job offers.

Paula may return to her dancer and choreographer roots to serve as a judge on SYTYCD, which is basically the dance equivalent of Idol.

This is MAJOR.

With the news that American Idol is losing Paula Abdul confirmed, the show is left lacking in pop star power. Enter a Spice Girl.

Victoria Beckham will be guest judging an episode of American Idol. She won't be sticking around permanently though, as she's focusing on her new fashion line. 

Paula Abdul is not returning to American Idol.

She has informed her fans of the news via Twitter. Of course, where else would you state important news?

“With sadness in my heart, I've decided not to return to Idol. I'll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all ... being a part of a show that I helped from day one become an international phenomenon."
