Aerosmith frontman and ‘American Idol‘ judge Steven Tyler was recently asked if Jennifer Lopez would be returning to ‘Idol’ next season. Since he’s on the panel with her, he had some insight.

Ouch! Sounds like a shrieking toddler isn’t the only person who’s going to be upset at Jessica Sanchez losing out to Phillip Phillips on ‘American Idol.’ Her accountant probably won’t be too happy either — the runner up payouts are lower than ever.

‘American Idol‘ winner Phillip Phillips will be relishing in his victory from a hospital bed following the Memorial Day weekend. The ‘Home’ singer is scheduled to undergo surgery this Tuesday.

Phillip Phillips‘ first single ‘Home’ is No. 1 on iTunes and he earned a standing “O” from the judges when he performed it on ‘American Idol.’ It also helped him win the Season 11 crown. But turns out Phillips isn’t in love with the song, simply because he’d prefer to perform songs he wrote. So no, he’s not dissing his first hit. As if.

Kelly Clarkson said that because she’s so competitive, she wanted to find the perfect people to duet with her on ABC’s ‘Duets.’ It’s possible that she just may have done that after seeing her first performance with Jason Farol.

Short of putting their kid in a washing machine, we may have found the cruelest parent on viral video in quite a while. An adorable little girl got her poor heart shattered when Jessica Sanchez lost out on ‘American Idol‘ to crooner Phillip Phillips — and her mom had a camera on hand … and a subsequent field day.

The first episode of ‘Duets‘ opened with a rousing rendition of ‘Let Me Entertain You’ by the judges. Did they succeed?

Well, here we are. The season finale of ‘American Idol.’ Sighs of relief all around. Unfortunately, tonight’s loser must endure the worst fate yet: a summer spent with Gwyneth Paltrow, wherein she will prattle endlessly about her pretentiously perfect life while Coldplay drones on in an endless loop from an iPod playlist from hell. It’s horrific, but hey, them’s the breaks. Sing better next time,

Phillip Phillips was voted the winner of ‘American Idol,’ grabbing the Season 11 crown with a record-breaking 132 million votes. That’s a lot of ladies voting, since we all know he had a way with the women — as in, he made ‘em melt. Jessica Sanchez was the runner up.

After smacking a faux reporter that was heard all around the world, Will Smith was much more polite on the U.K.’s ‘Graham Norton Show.’ During his appearance, Smith, who was promoting his new movie ‘Men In Black 3,’ was coerced in performing the theme song to ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.’
