Minutes before the performance finale of American Idol aired, the news had hit the internet that finalist Lauren Alaina may not have been able to perform on the show.

The news stated that she may have had to drop out of the show due to some vocal cord damage that she suffered. After not getting through rehearsals, they called in a doctor who told Lauren to rest her voice. Idol officials called up third place contestant, Haley Reinhart, to take her place if needed.

Now, Haley is speaking out on the topic. WATCH:

Haley said, “I had somebody come up to me, to tell me what her condition was. They didn’t know if she could sing or not. They asked me to do it and said to pick out some tunes I already did. It was an honor that they asked me; they never did this for somebody else on the show.”

She continued, “But at the same time, I did not feel right about the whole thing.”

When asked if she had gotten the chance to talk to Lauren prior to the show, she said, “No, but I saw her later. She was like, ‘You were almost about to sing for me there’, and I said, ‘I’m glad the medicine and everything else helped you out and you got through it!’”

All in all, Haley said that she was happy with how things turned out. She added, “I left in a good light. I had a great time going out. I still feel like the future holds something great out there for me. I felt like it was really Scotty and Lauren’s time so no matter what, she should go out and do what she can do.”

Newly divorced Green Lantern actor Ryan Reynolds graces the cover of the June/July 2011 issue of Details magazine!

In his interview with the publication, he talked about not settling on genre of movies, his dark side and his very public divorce from actress Scarlett Johansson.

On the topic of not settling on one genre of films, he said, “I’m not declaring nothing, man! I’m getting away with something I’d like to continue getting away with.”

When joking about his dark side, he said, “You want to see what I’m like when we turn the tape recorder off? I slit throats, that’s what I do. I only drink panda tears. Do not bring me water. Do not bring me filtered water. I want the tears of a newborn panda, and I will have them – because I’m Ryan Reynolds!”

Too funny! But on a different note, he talked about not sharing the details of his divorce from Scarlett. He added, “I’ll say this: The media was not invited to my marriage, and they’re definitely not invited into the divorce.”

Does Ryan need a hug? Any takers?

HOT HOT HOT!

Metal rocker and fourth place contestant on American Idol, James Durbin took the stage for last night’s finale with Judas Priest!

The rocker belted out two Priest classics, Living After Midnight and Breaking The Law. WATCH:

He really rocked the stage! Good for him. He said that he’s on a mission to bring heavy metal back to the younger audiences. We here at Earsucker headquarters, are right behind him as he accomplishes this goal.

We hope he comes out with an awesome heavy metal debut album and outsells all of them ala Chris Daughtry!

Who do you think will do better on the charts? James Durbin or Pia Toscano? We have to ask!

What did you think of the show last night? Too long? Were you surprised at all by the results??? Sound off in the comments!

If you’ve thought that you’re the only one that gets any sort of creativity when you’re on the throne, then think again!

Country singer Taylor Swift wrote an entire song while in an airport bathroom — which explains a lot!

I guess inspiration can strike you whenever it has the urge, so you have to jump on it at that moment. And that’s exactly what happened to Taylor. She said, “The weirdest place I have ever written a song is probably in an airport, and I got an idea so fast that I had to run to the bathroom at the airport, grab a paper towel and write lyrics on the paper towel. I still have it. I still have it in a box in my room.”

She has also started writing songs for the followup album to Speak Now and revealed details about one of the songs on the new record. She said, “I was in Madrid, and I was in my hotel room all day. And I was going through this crazy, emotional thing and I wrote a song about it and it’ll probably be on the next record. I’m telling you that. I’ll tell you the title afterwards.”

Is it called I Hate Joe? Just curious.

Rumor has it that Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery had a little more in common than just being the top two finalists on American Idol!

After snatching up the American Idol victory, Scotty played down reports of any romantic involvement with his former competitor. According to reports, Lauren had deferred to Scotty when asked about their relationship status. After scooping the Idol crown, he talked about the reports.

Scott was asked, “Lauren said to ask you about whether or not you are dating”, to which he replied, “She’s a character, isn’t she? She really is. No, we’re just really close friends. I met her day one of Hollywood week and we’ve grown really tight over the weeks because we’ve gone to school together, but I don’t know about the dating part.”

He went on to say that she was “just being funny” when talking about the relationship speculation.

He also touched on plans for his debut album, saying, “I want to get some good songs. It’s all about the songs after this. American Idol is a platform and helping us out and start our jobs.”

Prior to releasing his debut album, Scotty will appear with the top eleven competitors on the Idols Live Tour.

Former mentor to the top four contestants on American Idol, pop star Lady Gaga took to the stage to perform her newest song, Edge Of Glory.

This is my favorite song from her newly released album, Born This Way. She started off the performance, wearing some kind of strange headwear, as per usual for Gaga.

She spent the entire performance up on a rock structure, where she sang her heart out. As the song progressed, she was joined on the rock by one of her dancers. Apparently, they were on the “edge” of something there.

They proceeded to grope each other and they laid down together. As the song concluded, they both jumped! (continue reading…)

American Idol has come down to two highly talented singers, Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery! So who’s got what it takes to be your next Idol champion?

We recapped the performance show last night here.

We conducted a poll earlier to assess our readership to find out who the public thinks will win the show tonight. Results from that have concluded that Scotty is going to win it all with 65 percent of the vote. The judges, however, awarded the show to Lauren, so it’s really anyone’s game. (continue reading…)

Now that the news is out that Kim Kardashian is engaged to Kris Humphries, we have to wonder if she’s knocked up by him. Seriously. She’s been married before and was spotted with Gabriel Aubry and Kanye West right before dating Kris.

They’ve only been dating for six months and the guy has already popped the question?!??

And this is not to say that a girl can’t get engaged to be married out of love, but we’re curious…. Why the rush? There’s plenty of time to get hitched, isn’t there?

She dated Reggie Bush for a long time and the idea of marriage didn’t come up. Besides all of that, is Kris insane? He plopped down a whopping two million for her ring and it’s 20.5 carats. Holy crap, that’s huge.

Is that a ploy to throw everyone off? Perhaps it’s a bonus because she’s knocked up? We have so many questions. Aren’t you curious?

In the photo of them on the cover of People magazine, both of their hands are on her belly. Is there a baby in there? Do you care?

Inquiring minds wanna know!!

Now that it’s come down to the top two contestants on American Idol, Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina, we’ve got to know your thoughts on who’s going to walk away the winner!

Both contestants wow’ed the judges with last night’s performances, but only one can be crowned the winner of the show. Scotty gave good performances, but it was Lauren who stood out with the judges. (Read our full, detailed recap here.)

Before the show, it was said that Lauren may have had to drop out due to damaging one of her vocal cords. She persisted and upon receiving the all-clear from the doctor, she performed. It made us wonder whether or not the story was leaked so that she would possibly gain sympathy votes, since it appeared to us that Scotty was the front-runner in the competition.

We’re not saying that she isn’t a great performer, but it made us curious. It could be that, or the fact that a lot of people didn’t know that they had changed the day that the show was on.

Either way, one of the top two will be eliminated tonight. So we have to ask…Who do you think is going to win it all tonight??? TAKE OUR POLL!

We’ll have up-to-the-minute reports on what’s happening with the grand finale tonight, so stay tuned!

During his twenty-five year marriage to Maria Shriver, Star magazine is reporting, former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger had slept with a whopping 32 women!

It’s something else that we’re sure Maria will have her private detective look into. Reportedly, she’s gearing up to file for divorce and has hired Laura Wasser to represent her. She has a lot to gain if she goes through with the divorce. According to reports, Maria could walk away with 100-200 million dollars as a settlement.

This should add to the already damaging case that she’s mounting against him. She’s already nailed him on being the maid’s baby’s father and we’ve heard the rumors that there could be as many as six total children out-of-wedlock.

Let’s see what other skeletons are going to come out of the closet. If he kept all of this a secret for that long, it’s only a matter of time before we found out what else he could possibly be hiding, right?

I think she should take everything that she can get from this loser. It’s really sad that when news like this comes out, you really don’t know what to think….because it is possible that he had sex with 32 women, isn’t it?
