We all knew that Kara DioGuardi wasn't returning to American Idol for season ten, but it took them long enough to announce the darn thing. But finally the show has released a statement that she has stepped down.

She stepped down or she was fired?

Okay, enough already. Just tell us who's going to be on American Idol. We know they have to announce the judges soon, but we're trying to be patient.

Producer Nigel Lythgoe says not to believe what you hear, because "all the seats are open."

Poor Randy Jackson can't even get a break can he? Supposedly Steven Tyler is a definitely, but we don't know what to believe any more.

Auditions for American Idol season ten begin on July 17th in Nashville, and we still don't know what to expect in the post-Simon world.

One big change has already been announced though. This season the age limit has been lowered and now you just have to be fifteen to try out. (Before you had to be at least sixteen.)

American Idol fans can breathe a collective sigh of relief today: Ryan Seacrest's stalker is going to prison.

Chidi Uzomah, 26, who came at Seacrest with a knife outside of a hospital and the E! headquarters in Los Angeles last year, has been sentenced to two years in prison for felony stalking.

We'd say the most shocking part of this case is that someone would be that desperate to get more Ryan Seacrest in his life.

In more American Idol news, talk has turned to who will replace Simon Cowell next season. Word is that the whole show could be different and that the only one who is safe is Ryan Seacrest.

We could see all-new judges, or an all-new format.

We totally called it! Last night it was announced that Lee Dewyze beat out Crystal Bowersox to become the ninth American Idol!

Tonight's the big night. We find out who America has picked for the next American Idol. Will it be Crystal Bowersox or Lee Dewyze?

Before the show started we would have said Lee was the winner hands down. He has grown the most all season and he's just more endearing of the two personality-wise. But then last night Crystal just came with her A-game. She out-sang the guy on all three songs. So now we're not so sure.

Okay, okay, we're getting a little bit ahead of ourselves, but after last night's American Idol, we don't think there's any chance that Casey James will make it to the final two.

Crystal Bowersox and Lee Dewyze have been the presumed finalists this whole boring season, and they showed why last night. Crystal did what she always does and she sang songs that she loves and sounded good doing it.

SHOW ME THE MONEY! SHOW ME THE MONEY!

That's what Paula Abdul is yelling at Simon Cowell these days!

She is very interested in being a part of Cowell's X-Factor show, but supposedly it comes down to money for her.

Sources say she's looking for $3 million dollars up front.

Last night on American Idol, guest mentor Jamie Foxx was handing out t-shirts to the final four. They said either contestant or artist, because he's trying to decide who has what it takes to go out into the music industry.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
