Last night four American Idol contestants were voted off. This is how it all went down according to: The Associated Press!

.

The voting public cut loose Alaina Whitaker, Jason Yeager, Robbie Carrico and Alexandrea Lushington, trimming the number of contestants to 16 Thursday night.

.

Whitaker, a 16-year-old from Tulsa, Okla., let out a sob after she heard the result.

.

“Your problem — quite simply — is that you don’t stand out in the crowd at the moment,” the cranky judge told Yeager, a 28-year-old single dad from Grand Prairie, Texas

.

Cowell told Carrico, who sang Foreigner’s “Hot Blooded,” that his rocker act “just never ever felt real.” Carrico, 26, from Melbourne, Fla., was part of the pop group Boyz N Girlz United.

.

Lushington, a 17-year-old Douglasville, Ga., resident (and a snappy dresser and favorite of judge Randy Jackson’s), displayed a lack of confidence Wednesday, acting sheepish and uncomfortable onstage, following her cover of Chicago’s “If You Leave Me Now.” Jackson said the ’70s song didn’t suit her youthful style.

.

GOOD LUCK TO THE 16 REMAINING CONTESTANTS!

Amy Winehouse has been busy moving to a new flat. While rumors are flying from a friend of Amy’s that said she’s back to using again & not doing well. That could also explain her no show for her husband Blake Fielder-Civil’s arraignment today in the U.K.. Or simply the arraignment didn’t require Blake’s presence, since his mom Georgette was also a no show.

.

Incarcerated Blake pleaded not guilty to conspiring to pervert the course of justice. The charges filed back in June, 2006 originating from a fight with a pub owner claiming bodily harm.

HI EVERYONE

SO I’VE BEEN ABSENT BECAUSE A. I’VE BEEN PRETTY BUSY. B. TERRIBLE EXCUSE WHO ISN’T BUSY. C. REAL REASON, I’VE BEEN OBSESSED WITH THIS NEW SITE CALLED IBEATYOU. IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS I’M GOING TO POST A PRIVATE INVITE TO MY MYSPACE FRIENDS. SERIOUSLY IT’S BEEN WARPING MY BRAIN. IT’S A WEBSITE THAT REVOLVES AROUND COMPETITIONS OF EVERY KIND. I’M A COMPETITIVE PERSON BY NATURE SO THE FACT THAT I’M PRACTICALLY DREAMING ABOUT SOME OF THESE COMPS IS TO BE EXPECTED…. SOMEWHAT. LOL.

.

I PRESENTED LAST NIGHT AT THE OSCARS IT WAS A PRETTY GREAT NIGHT. I LOVE JOHN STEWART THE DAILY SHOW IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS HANDS DOWN. I WAS ROOTING FOR JAVIER BARDEM, DIABLO CODY AND MARION COTILLARD SO HAPPY FOR THEM ALL. MEETING LIL MISS ELLEN PAGE WAS A HIGHLIGHT, JUNO WAS BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I’VE SEEN. AN INSTANT CLASSIC AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED, GREAT WRITING AND A GREAT CAST. ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT WAS THE FACT THAT I DIDN’T MESS UP MY LINES OR TRIP ON MY DRESS (ON STAGE). I DID HAVE A STUMBLE BACKSTAGE OUTSIDE OF THE GREEN ROOM. CASH CAUGHT ONE ARM THE OTHER HIT THE FLOOR. LUCKILY ALL THE PHOTOGS WERE TAKING PICS OF CAMERON D. LOOKING GORGEOUS IN PINK I MIGHT ADD. ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT OF LAST NIGHT WAS INSTEAD OF HITTING UP THE GOVERNORS BALL OR ANY OTHER PARTY, WE OPTED FOR SWEATS AND IN ‘N’ OUT BURGERS. BEING PREGGERS KIND OF TAKES THE FUN OUT OF PARTYING UNTIL THE WEE HOURS. SLEEP ALWAYS SOUNDS SO MUCH BETTER THESE DAYS.

.

WELL CAN’T WAIT TO SEE IF YOU ALL GET AS HOOKED ON IBEATYOU AS I AM. IT’S NOT PUBLIC YET SO THIS IS KIND OF A MEMBERS ONLY SITUATION. I’LL BE BACK IN A FEW DAYS TO POST THE LINK. UNTIL THEN LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST PUT OUT ALL THE LOVE INTO THE WORLD YOU WANT IN RETURN. I DO READ YOUR POSTS SO PLEASE CONTINUE TO WRITE. IT’S JUST TOUGH TO RESPOND TO SO MANY AMAZINGLY INSIGHTFUL, THOUGHTFUL PEOPLE.

PEACE AND LOVE~JAY_EH

According to a National Enquirer report, Hulk Hogan, who is divorcing Linda Bollea after nearly twenty-five years of marriage, cheated on his wife with Christiane Plante, a female friend of his teen daughter Brooke.

.

The thirty-three year old Christiane Plante, who worked with nineteen year old Brooke on her 2006 Album, has confessed to her affair with fifty-four year old Hulk Hogan.

.

According to Christiane the affair happened while the family was shooting their VH1 reality show “Hogan Knows Best” in 2007.

.

“My relationship with Terry began at a time when Terry and Linda privately knew their marriage was ending. She had left him already, although no official papers had been filed. Terry is a good man, good father and a good friend, and he and I grew close at a time when he was going through a very difficult period. It seemed right then, but I know it was wrong. Having felt the guilt and pain build up, I gave a note to Brooke apologizing for my actions. I will never be able to fully forgive myself for this. I have lost an amazing friend.”

.

THINK IT WAS THE FIRST TIME? WHO ELSE WILL STEP FORWARD???

It’s back to work for Rihanna who had been enjoying an intimate romantic vacation with artist Chris Brown in Barbados.

.

The Grammy Award winner “Umbrella” singer sensation wearing a sexy corsette & high boots brought the house down. She’s enjoying her career & loving every moment of it. Reportedly her fans in the arena went wild. As fans screamed & shouted out her name, the down to earth star still questions if it’s her they’re screaming for.

.
DID ANYONE SEE CHRIS BROWN???

.

Britney Spears’ paparazzo ‘boy-fling’ Adnan Ghalib is reportedly telling friends that the singer is pregnant with his child.

.

One friend tells Star: “Britney is Adnan’s dream come true. He knows that if he has a child with Brit, he’ll be made for life.”

.

Britney was seen with a slight belly bump after her recent hospitalization but most sources put that down to her current troubles keeping her from a regular fitness routine.

.

He might only be scamming to make money off the tabloids, but with Britney you never know. For now… it’s only a rumor & not yet confirmed. We’ll keep you posted ya’ll!

.

HOPE IT’S NOT TRUE!

.

Hello…

Our time is up… we’ve come to the end of the road… there are tears of both sadness and joy. Look how far we’ve come!

.

Who would have thought that our reunion could have turned out to be this amazing? It just shows what can grow out of an exciting thought, an idea, a hope, a dream. Yes, our reunion tour is proof that dreams do come true.

.

We have been lucky enough to have shared it with the most loyal fans in the world. Ten years on, you came back still wanting more… and it looks like we made some new friends along the way. You have inspired and ignited us with each show, the 47 that we performed, each time was amazing and it is thanks to you.

.

So we look to the future with hope and imagination and let Girl Power live on through all of you as it will continue in us and the future generations to come.

.

We have learnt so much through you and through each other.

.

“Never give up on the good times always believe in the love you find.”

.

We hate goodbyes but sadly the time has come to take our final bow so maybe our song says it best:

.

“Goodbye my friend, it’s not the end… So glad we made it, time will never ever change it… “

.

Mission Accomplished…

Love

Emma, Geri, Mel B, Melanie C and Victoria
