American Idol’s top 24 was announced Wednesday and much to the dismay of many, singer Chris Golightly has been disqualified.

Ryan Seacrest took to his official Twitter account to say:

been determined that Chris Golightly is ineligible to continue on IDOL, contestant Tim Urban has replaced Golightly as part of the Top 24

Meanwhile, previous contestant Samantha Musa offers some insight as to why he got the axe from the competition. On her Twitter, she said:

“Just got off the phone with Chris GoLightly. He was disqualified yesterday, after already being told he was in the Top 24, over some bogus old contract. The contract expired, but they disqualified him for not telling them. He is talking to lawyers, but doubt they can do anything. You’re allowed to have old contracts, they just need to know about them. I think he put that he had it, but the guy he was in it with called Idol and said he still had contractual rights over him. Finally found the contract, expired in June. He is upset cause he says it was a misunderstanding.”

What do you think of the situation?

According to Kara DioGuardi, there was no feud between herself and singer Katy Perry on last night’s “American Idol”.

When talking about the so-called feud with Ryan Seacrest, she said, “I think that’s really funny. People actually think that I was upset by this – like there was tension. When I look at it, I think that it’s really funny. I think that it’s really good that she disagreed with me. I think that it’s important that people have different opinions or else wants to watch the show. It’d be boring.”

When asked by Seacrest if there was any tension between the two, she replied, “Not really.”

She said, “It’s Katy. I’ve known Katy for a long time. I remember Katy when she was jumping up and down on consoles. She had more energy than the room could actually take.” (continue reading…)

Adam Lambert joined radio host Ryan Seacrest for a little chat earlier today. Ryan took to his Twitter to post this photo of Adam.

Did you see Adam on Oprah?

Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell discussed Simon’s departure from “American Idol”.

Basically, Simon said that he was going to do both shows, originally, but “you can’t be on TV too much.”

Jennifer Lopez talked to Ryan Seacrest earlier today about last tonight’s American Music Awards fall. It was said that she threw a hissy fit of epic proportions after the fall, backstage.

“Did I trip a little bit? I don’t even remember. I meant to do that, what are you talking about? You should know me better than that, that was part of the choreography. The measure of things is not what happens when you fall, it’s how you handle when you fall.”

Madonna was on the air with Ryan Seacrest when she talked about her love life, the new “Celebration” DVD, Ryan Seacrest being a boyfriend for her, and of course, Kanye West.

We here at Earsucker are still in shock that Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein has left us. There are no words to explain how sad we are for his family and those whom he’s left behind.

Here’s what the celebrity world has said: (continue reading…)

We’ve just received news that British comedian Russell Brand will once again host the MTV Video Music Awards.

Ryan Seacrest just tweeted the news: (continue reading…)

Kara DioGuardi, the fourth judge on American Idol, says that she’s not sure whether or not she’ll be back for another season of the show.

She says, “I’m only here for one season. That’s what we’ve discussed. So we’ll see what happens. Hopefully, they’ll keep me on.”

First, it was rumored that Paula Abdul would be the one leaving the show. Prior to that, Kara was noted as being the feisty judge, talking smack about Bikini Girl, Katrina Darrell and calling Simon Cowell out for not letting her speak.

Cowell commented this on whether or not DioGuardi would return, “I would imagine so, but the only say I have is about Ryan, Randy and Paula. I’ve always made it clear that I wouldn’t like to do the show without them. So that’s all I’m really concerned about.”

Either way, she says it’s all good:

“My life has become extremely exciting and I am so excited for this opportunity,” she says. “I feel grateful to America that they let me grow and they let me find my groove on the show and that they were patient. And hopefully I haven’t disappointed them. It’s been a scary experience at times.”

Think she should stay or should they let her go?

At least she’ll always have work.

Last night on American Idol, Lil Rounds busted out with her version of the Whitney Houston song, “I’m Every Woman”.

And wasting no time on the show tonight, Ryan Seacrest gave her the axe.

Next!

But I really did like her singing “What’s Love Got To Do With It” last week.

“ExtraTV” twittered about an hour ago that they heard Ryan Seacrest say that Britney Spears is pregnant again, on his radio show.

Check out the tweet:

Ryan Seacrest just said on his radio show he heard Britney Spears is preggers again! WHAAA?!

Yeah….whaaa?!?

And she just got done saying that she wasn’t ready for a relationship. Is it Chase Benz’s kid?

Are you buying it?

In a little bit of an awkward interview on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show, Nick Jonas talked about his lunch date with Miley Cyrus.

He said they are old friends reconnecting. When the conversation turned to Miley’s boyfriend, Justin Gaston, that’s when it got weird.

I think Ryan’s into dudes. He talked too much about Justin being shirtless. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Jesus, while I’m no fan of country music, I can say with all certainty that Adam Lambert beat this song down until it wasn’t breathing any more.

He took on Johnny Cash’s “Ring Of Fire” and murdered it.

Kara said the performance was “weird” and Paula ate it up. What’s she on?

Thank you Simon for saying what needed to be said, “Indulgent rubbish.” And did you see Ryan Seacrest motioning a nod from Randy Travis?

Kelly Clarkson performed her latest hit “My Life Would Suck Without You” on American Idol. She told Ryan Seacrest that she’s not seeing anyone and that the song isn’t about anyone in particular.

It’s still a good song and Kelly has a knack for getting songs to sing that people can relate to. Don’t you think?

And it’s got to be weird for her to perform on Idol again…But Kelly’s weird in her own right. She just revealed that she pees in the shower. How much more weird gross and sharing can she be?
