Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes are Headed for Divorce
Mar 15th, 2010
Another Hollywood union bites the dust. After almost seven years of marriage (and nine years together), actress Kate Winslet and director Sam Mendes are ending things and may be headed for divorce. Could Oscar winners Kate, 34, and Sam, 44, possibly have fallen victim to the seven-year itch that we're always hearing about? "Kate and Sam are saddened to announce that they separated earlier this year. The split is entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement. Both parties are fully committed to the future joint parenting of their children," according to a statement that their lawyers gave to People. They have a son together, Joe, 6, and Kate has a daughter, Mia, 9, from a previous marriage. Photo Credit: A. E.

Drew Barrymore Does Not Want Plastic Surgery
Mar 15th, 2010
In a recent interview with the UK Daily Mail, actress Drew Barrymore opened up about her take on the whole idea of plastic surgery and the pressures to look young in Tinseltown. At the young age of 35, Drew looks great and claims to have no plans to do anything short of letting good old Mother Nature take the wheel. "I'm so curious as to what's going to happen naturally that I can't imagine wanting to alter things just yet. And to all those women putting botulism in their faces - we don't know what the long term effects are, so stop! I'd rather look like a basset hound than do that to my face," she said. With most of Hollywood running out to see their plastic surgeons for nips and tucks on a regular basis, it's refreshing to hear a celebrity say that they're not interested in having any work done. Not yet at least.

What's the deal with singer Melanie Brown's newly shaved head? The former Spice Girl arrived at the grand opening of Matt Goss Live from Caesars Palace in Vegas this weekend looking decidedly different. Is it daring or just plain disastrous? I think Mel B might be taking a cue from Cassie Ventura with her latest wacky hairstyle. If you look closely at the photo, you'll notice that one side is long and coifed while the other is, well, non existent. //

Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy Break Up
Mar 13th, 2010
After a year of blissful dating, Ghost Whisperer stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy have decided to break up. Before you jump to conclusions and assume that someone cheated, that doesn't appear to be the case here. A source close to the couple wanted to set the record straight. "It wasn't contentious. It had kind of just run its course," the source told People. Could busy work schedules have played a part in Jennifer and Jamie's sudden split? "She's working constantly, and Jamie's working on the show and touring. It just isn't conducive to a relationship, the source added." I'm sorry, but I just don't buy that. We all work (well, ok, maybe not Paris Hilton) and we all still somehow manage to maintain lives outside of our careers, right?

Trouble in Paradise for Newlyweds Khloe and Lamar?
Mar 3rd, 2010
In an attempt to hit back at the tabloids alleging that Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's new marriage may already be over, the reality star took to her blog. Some of the gossip magazines have apparently been reporting that there is trouble in paradise for not only Khloe, 25, and Lamar, 30, but also her sister Kourtney and her baby daddy Scott Disick. Khloe writes: "My sisters and I had a great laugh this morning. Star and InTouch decided to attack our relationships. Apparently I'm heading for divorce, Kim was dumped and Kourt was duped. Wow, sad week for us Kardashian sisters, and how coincidental that this all happened at the same time! Lamar and I are obsessed and can barely be away from each other," she posted on her personal blog. While Khloe may have set the record straight regarding her own relationship, something tells me that her sister Kourtney's situation might be a little bit different. You'd only need to see one episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians to know that Scott isn't exactly boyfriend of the year material. She claims that he's trying, but I'll believe it when I actually see it. Photo Credit: Kevin Winter/Getty Images.

Drake Introduces 'Drake The Artist' In 'Over' Video
Mar 15th, 2010
'I've shot a lot of videos before, but this is my first attempt to establish myself as Drake the artist,' he tells MTV News on the clip's set.By Shaheem Reid, with reporting by Kelly Marino Drake Photo: MTV News While filming a video for his song "Over" on Friday in Los Angeles, Drake stood in front of an all-white backdrop wearing a white tee and white sneakers. What does he do in the clip? He does him. "This is my first video," the Young Money franchise player said, sitting in his trailer. "I've shot a lot of videos before, but this is my first attempt to establish myself as Drake the artist. Shooting the other videos I've done has been great. I really don't care what other people think about them, they were great experiences for me. I've learned a lot from them. Today, I'm shooting with somebody I really look up to and respect. I'm shooting with Anthony Mandler." Mandler, who has also made videos with Jay-Z and Rihanna, worked with Drake before on Mary J. Blige's "The One." "We talked colors, we talked epic, emotion-evoking visuals," the 23-year-old Toronto native said of the collaborative "Over" video. "The story is actually interesting. The song is so aggressive, and it's sort of a love story in the video. It has a lot to do with the album [Thank Me Later]. The album is about finding love, feeling 'Have I sold my soul' as far as 'Will I ever be able to gain the trust of a woman? Will I only be able to be around the dark, evil women? Will I ever find that pure love?' Those elements are in the video. I look strong, I feel great, my knee's feeling great. I'm jumping around, doing all kinds of stuff." The song "Over" touches on Drake reaction to fame and stardom. " 'Over' was definitely a choice of mine," he said of releasing it as a single. "I've got a l fef ot of great songs on the album. A lot of songs that sound familiar but are brand-new. I still got the same emotions of the songs you love, whether it be 'Say Something' or 'Best I Ever Had' or 'Bedrock.' For people who enjoy what I've done in the past, I've got a lot of songs to cater to them. But 'Over' was a song I did for myself. "We took a trip to Jamaica, where I did a lot of work for my album," he elaborated. "There was this calm before the storm, and 'Over' represented the storm to me. It's the moment. I wanted to emerge at first from this album and just let people know 'This is how I'm coming out in the public eye. I'm ready for anything.' Then when you get the album, it's like, 'Oh, he's still human. He's still thinking the same way.' I wanted people to understand I could have lost it. 'Over' could have been my entire album. Just 'cause that's what this industry and game will do to you if you lose yourself." Are you excited for Drake's "Over" video? Let us know! Related Artists Drake

'I've shot a lot of videos before, but this is my first attempt to establish myself as Drake the artist,' he tells MTV News on the clip's set.By Shaheem Reid, with reporting by Kelly Marino Drake Photo: MTV News While filming a video for his song "Over" on Friday in Los Angeles, Drake stood in front of an all-white backdrop wearing a white tee and white sneakers. What does he do in the clip? He does him. "This is my first video," the Young Money franchise player said, sitting in his trailer. "I've shot a lot of videos before, but this is my first attempt to establish myself as Drake the artist. Shooting the other videos I've done has been great. I really don't care what other people think about them, they were great experiences for me. I've learned a lot from them. Today, I'm shooting with somebody I really look up to and respect. I'm shooting with Anthony Mandler." Mandler, who has also made videos with Jay-Z and Rihanna, worked with Drake before on Mary J. Blige's "The One." "We talked colors, we talked epic, emotion-evoking visuals," the 23-year-old Toronto native said of the collaborative "Over" video. "The story is actually interesting. The song is so aggressive, and it's sort of a love story in the video. It has a lot to do with the album [Thank Me Later]. The album is about finding love, feeling 'Have I sold my soul' as far as 'Will I ever be able to gain the trust of a woman? Will I only be able to be around the dark, evil women? Will I ever find that pure love?' Those elements are in the video. I look strong, I feel great, my knee's feeling great. I'm jumping around, doing all kinds of stuff." The song "Over" touches on Drake reaction to fame and stardom. " 'Over' was definitely a choice of mine," he said of releasing it as a single. "I've got a l fef ot of great songs on the album. A lot of songs that sound familiar but are brand-new. I still got the same emotions of the songs you love, whether it be 'Say Something' or 'Best I Ever Had' or 'Bedrock.' For people who enjoy what I've done in the past, I've got a lot of songs to cater to them. But 'Over' was a song I did for myself. "We took a trip to Jamaica, where I did a lot of work for my album," he elaborated. "There was this calm before the storm, and 'Over' represented the storm to me. It's the moment. I wanted to emerge at first from this album and just let people know 'This is how I'm coming out in the public eye. I'm ready for anything.'

MTV Has Not Banned Lady Gaga's 'Telephone' Video
Mar 15th, 2010
CNN reported that video had been banned by channel; it actually began airing on MTV early Friday.By Gil Kaufman Lady Gaga in her "Telephone" video Photo: Interscope In the wake of reports that surfaced over the weekend claiming that MTV had banned Lady Gaga's nearly 10-minute-long video for "Telephone," a spokesperson for the channel clarified the situation on Monday (March 15). "MTV did not ban Lady Gaga and Beyoncé's 'Telephone' video — in fact, we premiered it on Friday, March 12, on-air and online at MTV.com, two days before this story was falsely reported," said MTV Executive Vice President of Music and Talent Amy Doyle. "Fans can continue to catch the video as we repeat it on-air and online." Music videos generally air on MTV weekdays between 3 a.m. and 10 a.m. The rumor appears to have begun with a segment that aired on CNN on Sunday in which reporters Fredricka Whitfield and Jacqui Jeras discuss the video — which at press time has been viewed more than 14 million times on YouTube since its release late Thursday — and say that MTV had banned the clip fef . The CNN segment has circulated widely on the Internet, but does not currently appear to be on the CNN site; it can be viewed on MediaIte.com. "It's so strong, so suggestive, so sexual, so violent as well, that MTV has said, 'We're not even going to air this, so it has banned the airing of this video,' " Whitfield said, without citing a source. At press time, a spokesperson for CNN had not responded to MTV News' requests for comment. The "Telephone" video went live on MTV.com at 12:30 a.m. on Friday, an hour after it premiered on E!, and began airing on MTV that morning at 9:30 a.m. as part of the "Lady Gaga Artist Collection," which ended with a full-length airing of the video, a spokesperson for the channel said. The epic, Jonas Εkerlund-directed "Telephone" clip, already a fan favorite, stars Gaga and Beyoncé and includes a head-spinning array of pop-culture references, ranging from the obvious ("Thelma and Louise," Tarantino films) to the not-as-obvious ("Dune"). Jai Rodriguez, who plays a reporter in the video, said Gaga and Beyoncé were both "epic" and focused during the shoot. Of the clip, Gaga has said she's "always trying to convolute everyone's idea of what a pop music video should be."

Nicki Minaj, Ludacris, Estelle, More Take Stage At 'Rip The Runway'

Soulja Boy Tell'em, Trina and more perform on the BET show, airing Monday.By Jayson Rodriguez Nicki Minaj at BET's "Rip the Runway" Photo: George Napolitano/ Getty Images Nicki Minaj is hip-hop's leading lady at the moment and the Young Money rapper proved she's adept at handling that spotlight during her turn as co- fef host of BET's "Rip the Runway." The femcee was joined by The Game's Pooch Hall, and delivered her trademark sass both in rhyme and in jokes. "Pooch, you haven't even complimented me on my shoes yet," Nicki said during the opening minutes, teasing the actor as the pair introduced the show, set to air March 15 on BET and Centric. The Queens lyricist doubled as a performer also, joining Ludacris onstage for his hit "My Chick Bad." "My chick bad, tell me if you seen her," Luda rapped. "She always bring the racket like Venus and Serena." Minaj stormed onstage for the third verse, much to the delight of her fans — there were plenty of Barbiez on board — in a snakeskin bodysuit and pink wig. "Trash talk to them then I put them in a Hefty," she rhymed. "Running down the court, I'm dunking on them Lisa Leslie." Along with the "Rip the Runway" performances, new designers' spring and summer lines were presented and showcased throughout the broadcast. BET's "106 & Park" co-host Rocsi Diaz, Sean John model Miguel Perdomo and artist Amanda Diva were among those strutting down the catwalk. Upstart MC B.o.B. a.k.a. Bobby Ray performed his first single, "Nothin' on You," as the Tennille White Chicago line was showcased. Trina was partnered with Haute Couture during her performance and newcomer Roscoe Dash and Soulja Boy Tell'em had the rowdiest performance of the night, hands down, with "All the Way Turnt Up." The song was paired with sporty clothing line Protégé and featured a model in high heels frantically dribbling a basketball to the beat. A solo turn by Minaj and performances by Janelle Monáe and Estelle featuring Kardinal Offishall ("Freak") rounded out the festivities. Related Artists Nicki Minaj Estelle Ludacris

Kenna On 'Summit On The Summit': 'The Climb Had A Life Of Its Own'
Mar 15th, 2010
Watch the full show right here, and learn more about what you can do to help with the global clean-water crisis. Kenna Photo: MTV News In early January, Kenna began his asce fef nt up Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa, in an effort to raise awareness about the global clean-water crisis, which affects more than 1 billion people on the planet and kills nearly 4 million every year. The journey was documented on "Summit on the Summit: Kilimanjaro," which premiered on MTV Sunday night. It was a pretty massive undertaking — both the mountain and the mission — so it's a good thing he didn't go it alone. Joining Kenna on the trek was a team of of nearly 300 men and women, including fellow musicians Lupe Fiasco and Santigold, actors Jessica Biel and Emile Hirsch, plus scientists, United Nations representatives and experienced mountain guides. (Justin Timberlake had intended to accompany them but was unable due to scheduling conflicts; he filmed an introduction for the show.) Luckily, everyone made it to the peak. But now that he's climbed back down the mountain, Kenna and his team continue the fight for clean water, lobbying Congress for additional funds to battle water-borne diseases, and urging concerned citizens of the world to educate themselves to the growing crisis. In his own words, Kenna shares his memories and feelings about climbing Kilimanjaro, and about continuing the fight down here on the ground. NOTHING IS GREATER OR LESS THAN US: TOGETHER The Climb Had a Life of Its Own There is a moment when you realize that it isn't you doing it anymore — that something bigger and more powerful than you has interceded and given wings to what you were hoping for and catapulted it into the stratosphere. I have been blessed in my life to have two living, passionate and together parents who have explained that there are no limits to the power of conscious moves to elevate oneself. To find out that I had missed the plot on something as massive as was the problem my father had as a child with water-borne diseases, and to further find out that he had lost his brother to those diseases was insane to me. How could this be? Where was I? And how did I miss such an important thing? After that disappointment settled for me, I began to do research on the global clean-water crisis. It is a crisis. A billion people live without clean water and a child dies every 15 seconds. It is the equivalent to a 747 jet full of children crashing into the ground every two hours of every day, 365 days a year. It is unacceptable. The climb of Kilimanjaro was hard. It was arduous. It was nerve-racking because I worried for my friends. My friends and team went so well beyond themselves to be there for me, and found the issue touching them even more powerfully than when they signed on. All that to say, but Jessica Biel said it best on Larry King [when she said it was one of the best experiences of her life] ... All of that, but it is nothing in comparison to the girl who has to walk six kilometers a day with 80 pounds of water strapped on her back to get it to her fa fef mily. We are very lucky and should count our blessings. But better yet, we can give water to those in need by learning about the issue and donating as you see fit, to the organization of your choosing. If you are so inclined, I have partnered with the UN Foundation on a text-to-donate number: Just text "SEND" to 90999 and $10 will come out of your account. That will provide 1,000 liters of water to a family in need and a year's worth of water for a child. Conserve, learn, and send water.

Lady Gaga's 'Telephone' Video Director Talks About Unfilmed Scenes
Mar 15th, 2010
'There were fantastic scenes that we just couldn't do,' Jonas Åkerlund laments.By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Lady Gaga in "Telephone" Photo: Interscope In the nearly 10-minute-long video for Lady Gaga's "Telephone," there was a lot to take in. She escaped from prison, with some help from Beyoncé, and then went on one fashionable and feisty killing spree. So could there possibly be anything more that director Jonas Åkerlund had planned for the epic clip? As it turns out, the answer is yes. "On my very ambitious shooting schedule, there was actually a few scenes we never got to," he revealed to MTV News. " ... I'm very time optimistic, and I always try to squeeze in as much as I can." Åkerlund had some big plans that he didn't get the chance to execute. "There were fantastic scenes that we just couldn't do," he said. "We already shot, like, pretty much an eight-day shoot in two days. We could have d fef one a couple more days." What else did the director have in store for Gaga and Beyoncé? "Story-wise, when we were in the edit, I didn't look back and feel like we were missing anything," he said. "I'm kind of cool with what we got, but there was a few things. ... We had a little scene when they got to the diner and they have a little dialogue before they go in. And also after they kill all the people in the diner, we had another scene where they're running to the car taking off. It was just a bunch of scenes that we never got to." Do you think the "Telephone" video could have handled any more action? Let us know!

50 Cent Says His Black Magic Album Has 'A Totally Different Vibe'
Mar 15th, 2010
'I won't allow myself to be placed in a box,' he says about 'uptempo' next project.By Shaheem Reid 50 Cent Photo: Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images 50 Cent is back in music mode. He's been touring overseas with the G-Unit for about a month, and over the weekend, 50 revealed to a Norwegian news outlet that he had been back in the lab making songs for a new LP called Black Magic. Fif said he was inspired by listening to music in Bergen, Norway. "I went to a nightclub afterparty," 50 told reporter Jonas Pettersen. "It's a little different music going on before I got there. They play your music when you come. But the music they played before they started playing a lot of what I created was more uptempo, more dance. I wanted to make a song like that. So I went into the studio. Because I'm traveling with my live band, I took my band with me and sequenced it and recorded the actual record while I was out there. I did two other songs I had production for. I had been writing those songs for a while. So I finished them and recorded them while I was out." Fif said his new album will not sound like his previous work. "New Black Magic project, fef I'm excited about it," he said. "It has a totally different vibe. I won't allow myself to be placed in a box when I can only do one style or one kind of music. They should expect the unexpected on this project. It's good. If they can understand how I enjoy different genres of music and different styles; for the people who have various tastes in music, they'll really like it." While there isn't a release date for Fif's new work, G-Unit members Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo say they'll drop independently as early as June. "I'm aiming towards summer," Banks recently told Mixtape Daily. "Mid-summer, late summer. I won't drop an album until I feel the buzz — you know, as an artist, when you feel it. I'm working independent. Everything they've heard the past year has come out my basement, including 'Beamer, Benz or Bentley.' When you first come on as a new artist and you hot and you got a buzz, you could sell doo-doo on a stick. The label makes you feel like they did it, when they just called their boy and dropped the record off. "Now it boost my confidence when I know I can make a record in my crib, send it out and receive finances from it," he added. "Whenever it's through iTunes or whatever other outlet you have, I'm happy with it. I'm not gonna rush it, though. If it came out after this year, it wouldn't matter to me, as long as it's the product people expect." "We gonna drop it independently," Yayo told Mixtape Daily. "We not on Interscope anymore. I feel the stuff I went through on a major was nonsense. You make more money on an independent label." Are you excited to hear new music from the G-Unit? Let us know below! Related Artists 50 Cent

Jessica Simpson 'Found An Inner Peace' Filming 'The Price Of Beauty'
Mar 15th, 2010
'I think it's going to be such an incredible show for women of all ages to watch,' she says.By Jocelyn Vena Jessica Simpson Photo: MTV News Jessica Simpson hit the road last year to film her new VH1 show, "The Price of Beauty." At the time, the pop star had been inundated with negative press about her appearance and reported weight gain. And after an eye-opening journey around the world, Simpson said she learned what was truly beautiful about herself. "I think that [the show] is such a great concept and I think i fef t's going to be such an incredible show for women of all ages to watch. You definitely learn a lot about all these different cultures," she told MTV News about her show, premiering Monday (March 15) on VH1, adding that the filming was very personal for her. "The reason why I wanted to go on this journey was to discover that, for myself, what was beautiful inside me and just to listen to these women talk and hear their stories," she explained. "And I had gone through a really hard time in the past year with people, just, they keep harping and me gaining weight, it made me so insecure that I really actually forgot who I was and I wanted to go on this journey to find myself again." Now that she's back in the States, she said she can easily face any criticism or even be able to handle any line of questioning, even if it's about touchy subjects like John Mayer. "I definitely learned that I allow too many judgments of other people to seep in," she said. "Even when you think you kind of got it together and you think you can ignore it, you do still fall asleep with those voices in your head. There's no way to stop that. I think that going on this trip, all these places, I really just found an inner peace. I found something within myself that I didn't know was there."

"And I had gone through a really hard time in the past year with people, just, they keep harping and me gaining weight, it made me so insecure that I really actually forgot who I was and I wanted to go on this journey to find myself again." Now that she's back in the States, she said she can easily face any criticism or even be able to handle any line of questioning, even if it's about touchy subjects like John Mayer. "I definitely learned that I allow too many judgments of other people to seep in," she said. "Even when you think you kind of got it together and you think you can ignore it, you do still fall asleep with those voices in your head. There's no way to stop that. I think that going on this trip, all these places, I really just found an inner peace. I found something within myself that I didn't know was there."

MC enjoys a late dinner with Wonder, Robin Thicke after show, then catches Manny Pacquiao/ Joshua Clottey boxing match.By Shaheem Reid Jay-Z performs in Atlantic City on Saturday Photo: Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa Jay-Z doesn't just bring the stars out onstage — earlier this month at New York's Madison Square Garden, for example, Shaquille O'Neal, LeBron James, Diddy, Rick Ross and Gwyneth Paltrow were among the spectators taking in his BP3 show (and while Lil Wayne appeared fef onstage during Young Jeezy's opening set, he probably caught some of Jigga's show from backstage). And for Jay's sold-out Saturday night show at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Stevie Wonder, Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps, Fantasia, Adrienne Bailon, Robin Thicke and two of the "Real Housewives of New Jersey," Teresa Giudice and Jacqueline Laurita, were in the audience.

Memph stayed strong through the show and helped Jay pull off another successful performance, as they brought the crowd to its feet with classics like "Big Pimpin' " and new hits like "Run This Town." Jay celebrated after the show at the Old Homestead restaurant in the Borgata, where he had a late dinner with Wonder and Thicke, a rep for the venue told MTV News.

Sam's sister Charlotte Ronson, Angelina from "Jersey Shore" and Phelps were among the partygoers. Meanwhile, Jay hit the blackjack tables accompanied by Beyoncé, the venue's rep said.

Lady Gaga's 'Telephone' Video: Will There Be A Sequel?
Mar 15th, 2010
'We're very spontaneous. We'll see,' director Jonas Åkerlund says.By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Jonas Åkerlund Photo: MTV News At the end of Lady Gaga's "Telephone" video, just as they are leaving the scene of a killing spree at a diner, fans see Gaga and Beyoncé drive off into the desert, "Thelma & Louise" style. The video then shows the following graphic: "To Be Continued." So, what plans fef do Gaga and video director Jonas Åkerlund, planned this clip as a sequel to "Paparazzi," have in store for the third part? Well, not much of anything — for now, at least. "Well, there's no plan," Åkerlund told MTV News. "As I said, we're very spontaneous. We'll see." And while the duo hasn't laid down plans to add another video, Åkerlund also isn't ruling it out entirely. "I mean, it'll be cool, but we just left the door open. So we'll see," he explained. As for the actual words showing up on the screen at the end of the clip, he said that was his idea, not Gaga's. "I put it in post and then nobody said to take it out. So, it stayed in." Åkerlund may have slipped the "To Be Continued" addition in on his own, but he insisted that Gaga is very hands-on. "Gaga's a little different because she has, like, the first [idea], which makes my job easier," the director said. "She always has the first couple [ideas] to tell you. So, based on what she tells me, I write a treatment, she has comments on it. So that's how we go into the ideas. She's boiling. Her brain is amazing. She's filled with ideas."

Alex Lambert Petition Demands His Return To 'American Idol'
Mar 15th, 2010
More than 13,000 fans have signed the online petition.By Gil Kaufman Alex Lambert performs on "American Idol" Photo: Frank Micelotta/ Getty Images Jessica Bongiorno has watched every episode of "American Idol" since the show launched in 2002, but never before has she been so moved to action, so incensed at an elimination as she was when sweet-natured, stage-fright-gripped singer Alex Lambert was unceremoniously dumped Thursday night. "There's no contestant I've seen in all my years of watching this show that has gotten as much backlash for being kicked off before making the top 12 as Alex," said Bongiorno, 29, a graphic designer and photographer from Baltimore who was so angry about Lambert's surprise ouster that she has started an online petition asking that he be brought back. Since posting the petition just moments after Lambert's elimination, Bongiorno said she's gotten 13,147 signatures of support on the way to her goal of 15,000. "The reaction has been insane!" she said. "It's an understatement to say that I'm surprised. I had no idea it would ever be this big. I knew it would get momentum, but I don't know anyone else besides my mother who signed it. It's 3,000 to 4,000 people a day coming out of the woodwork." The petition, addressed to the show's producers, judges and the Fox network, reads: "Avid viewers of 'American Idol' were in complete shock to see Alex Lambert voted off tonight. His voice is most importantly, different, and his simple raw talent was something that many chosen idol contestants ... lack. America ABSOLUTELY voted wrong in this, and many, many loyal viewers have no desire to continue watching 'American Idol' without seeing how far Alex Lambert could have, and should have gone. The signatures on this petition are not expected to be taken lightly, but instead, as a serious cause of action in bringing Alex Lambert back onto American Idol before the season ends." So far, it has gotten signatures from fans who stretch from Costa Rica and Colorado to the Philippines and Florida. "He deserves another chance, because I don't think America has seen what he can do," wrote petitioner Stacy Hopkins of Selkirk, Georgia. Asked the obvious — where were all these fans when Lambert needed them? — Bongiorno sighed. "I know!" she said in resignation and, like a number of those who signed the petition, she believes that flaws in the "Idol" voting system might have played a part . (That charge, which has come up at some point almost every season when a beloved contestant goes home, has been repeatedly denied by "Idol" brass.) As for what she wants the petition to do, Bongiorno said she and her fellow petitioners are hoping for the kind of wild card that made Anoop Desai the 13th finalist last year. "It happened once before when we never expected it, and something else could happen again," she said. Last year also saw the first-ever use of the judges' "save," which helped eventual fifth-place finisher Matt Giraud come back to the competition. A spokesperson for "Idol" declined to comment on the petition drive and said the show has not made any announcement about the judges' save this year, but noted that in season eight, it applied only to the top 12 finishers. "There's no contestant I've seen in all my years of watching this show that has gotten this much backlash for the show for being voted off before making the top 12," Bongiorno said of Lambert. "He's real. He's a 19-year-old kid from Texas from a big family, and he's just shy onstage, like, 'I don't know what I'm doing here,' and that touches people," she said. " 'American Idol' is about finding people who you'd never see otherwise, people who are singing in front of their mirrors at home and now you're putting them onstage in front of millions of people. That's 'American Idol.' " Have you signed the petition? Do you think Alex or any other semifinalists should be brought back? Sound off below!

Drake Introduces 'Drake The Artist' In 'Over' Video
Mar 15th, 2010
'I've shot a lot of videos before, but this is my first attempt to establish myself as Drake the artist,' he tells MTV News on the clip's set.By Shaheem Reid, with reporting by Kelly Marino Drake Photo: MTV News While filming a video for his song "Over" on Friday in Los Angeles, Drake stood in front of an all-white backdrop wearing a white tee and white sneakers. What does he do in the clip? He does him. "This is my first video," the Young Money franchise player said, sitting in his trailer. "I've shot a lot of videos before, but this is my first attempt to establish myself as Drake the artist. Shooting the other videos I've done has been great. I really don't care what other people think about them, they were great experiences for me. I've learned a lot from them. Today, I'm shooting with somebody I really look up to and respect. I'm shooting with Anthony Mandler." Mandler, who has also made videos with Jay-Z and Rihanna, worked with Drake before on Mary J. Blige's "The One." "We talked colors, we talked epic, emotion-evoking visuals," the 23-year-old Toronto native said of the collaborative "Over" video. "The story is actually interesting. The song is so aggressive, and it's sort of a love story in the video. It has a lot to do with the album [Thank Me Later]. The album is about finding love, feeling 'Have I sold my soul' as far as 'Will I ever be able to gain the trust of a woman? Will I only be able to be around the dark, evil women? Will I ever find that pure love?' Those elements are in the video. I look strong, I feel great, my knee's feeling great. I'm jumping around, doing all kinds of stuff." The song "Over" touches on Drake reaction to fame and stardom. " 'Over' was definitely a choice of mine," he said of releasing it as a single. "I've got a lot of great songs on the album. A lot of songs that sound familiar but are brand-new. I still got the same emotions of the songs you love, whether it be 'Say Something' or 'Best I Ever Had' or 'Bedrock.' For people who enjoy what I've done in the past, I've got a lot of songs to cater to them. But 'Over' was a song I did for myself. "We took a trip to Jamaica, where I did a lot of work for my album," he elaborated. "There was this calm before the storm, and 'Over' represented the storm to me. It's the moment. I wanted to emerge at first from this album and just let people know 'This is how I'm coming out in the public eye. I'm ready for anything.' Then when you get the album, it's like, 'Oh, he's still human. He's still thinking the same way.' I wanted people to understand I could have lost it. 'Over' could have been my entire album. Just 'cause that's what this industry and game will do to you if you lose yourself." Are you excited for Drake's "Over" video? Let us know! Related Artists Drake

MTV Has Not Banned Lady Gaga's 'Telephone' Video
Mar 15th, 2010
CNN reported that video had been banned by channel; it actually began airing on MTV early Friday.By Gil Kaufman Lady Gaga in her "Telephone" video Photo: Interscope In the wake of reports that surfaced over the weekend claiming that MTV had banned Lady Gaga's nearly 10-minute-long video for "Telephone," a spokesperson for the channel clarified the situation on Monday (March 15). "MTV did not ban Lady Gaga and Beyoncé's 'Telephone' video — in fact, we premiered it on Friday, March 12, on-air and online at MTV.com, two days before this story was falsely reported," said MTV Executive Vice President of Music and Talent Amy Doyle. "Fans can continue to catch the video as we repeat it on-air and online." Music videos generally air on MTV weekdays between 3 a.m. and 10 a.m. The rumor appears to have begun with a segment that aired on CNN on Sunday in which reporters Fredricka Whitfield and Jacqui Jeras discuss the video — which at press time has been viewed more than 14 million times on YouTube since its release late Thursday — and say that MTV had banned the clip. The CNN segment has circulated widely on the Internet, but does not currently appear to be on the CNN site; it can be viewed on MediaIte.com. "It's so strong, so suggestive, so sexual, so violent as well, that MTV has said, 'We're not even going to air this, so it has banned the airing of this video,' " Whitfield said, without citing a source. At press time, a spokesperson for CNN had not responded to MTV News' requests for comment. The "Telephone" video went live on MTV.com at 12:30 a.m. on Friday, an hour after it premiered on E!, and began airing on MTV that morning at 9:30 a.m. as part of the "Lady Gaga Artist Collection," which ended with a full-length airing of the video, a spokesperson for the channel said. The epic, Jonas Εkerlund-directed "Telephone" clip, already a fan favorite, stars Gaga and Beyoncé and includes a head-spinning array of pop-culture references, ranging from the obvious ("Thelma and Louise," Tarantino films) to the not-as-obvious ("Dune"). Jai Rodriguez, who plays a reporter in the video, said Gaga and Beyoncé were both "epic" and focused during the shoot. Of the clip, Gaga has said she's "always trying to convolute everyone's idea of what a pop music video should be."

Nicki Minaj, Ludacris, Estelle, More Take Stage At 'Rip The Runway'
Mar 15th, 2010
Soulja Boy Tell'em, Trina and more perform on the BET show, airing Monday.By Jayson Rodriguez Nicki Minaj at BET's "Rip the Runway" Photo: George Napolitano/ Getty Images Nicki Minaj is hip-hop's leading lady at the moment and the Young Money rapper proved she's adept at handling that spotlight during her turn as co-host of BET's "Rip the Runway." The femcee was joined by The Game's Pooch Hall, and delivered her trademark sass both in rhyme and in jokes. "Pooch, you haven't even complimented me on my shoes yet," Nicki said during the opening minutes, teasing the actor as the pair introduced the show, set to air March 15 on BET and Centric. The Queens lyricist doubled as a performer also, joining Ludacris onstage for his hit "My Chick Bad." "My chick bad, tell me if you seen her," Luda rapped. "She always bring the racket like Venus and Serena." Minaj stormed onstage for the third verse, much to the delight of her fans — there were plenty of Barbiez on board — in a snakeskin bodysuit and pink wig. "Trash talk to them then I put them in a Hefty," she rhymed. "Running down the court, I'm dunking on them Lisa Leslie." Along with the "Rip the Runway" performances, new designers' spring and summer lines were presented and showcased throughout the broadcast. BET's "106 & Park" co-host Rocsi Diaz, Sean John model Miguel Perdomo and artist Amanda Diva were among those strutting down the catwalk. Upstart MC B.o.B. a.k.a. Bobby Ray performed his first single, "Nothin' on You," as the Tennille White Chicago line was showcased. Trina was partnered with Haute Couture during her performance and newcomer Roscoe Dash and Soulja Boy Tell'em had the rowdiest performance of the night, hands down, with "All the Way Turnt Up." The song was paired with sporty clothing line Protégé and featured a model in high heels frantically dribbling a basketball to the beat. A solo turn by Minaj and performances by Janelle Monáe and Estelle featuring Kardinal Offishall ("Freak") rounded out the festivities. Related Artists Nicki Minaj Estelle Ludacris

Kenna On 'Summit On The Summit': 'The Climb Had A Life Of Its Own'
Mar 15th, 2010
Watch the full show right here, and learn more about what you can do to help with the global clean-water crisis. Kenna Photo: MTV News In early January, Kenna began his ascent up Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa, in an effort to raise awareness about the global clean-water crisis, which affects more than 1 billion people on the planet and kills nearly 4 million every year. The journey was documented on "Summit on the Summit: Kilimanjaro," which premiered on MTV Sunday night. It was a pretty massive undertaking — both the mountain and the mission — so it's a good thing he didn't go it alone. Joining Kenna on the trek was a team of of nearly 300 men and women, including fellow musicians Lupe Fiasco and Santigold, actors Jessica Biel and Emile Hirsch, plus scientists, United Nations representatives and experienced mountain guides. (Justin Timberlake had intended to accompany them but was unable due to scheduling conflicts; he filmed an introduction for the show.) Luckily, everyone made it to the peak. But now that he's climbed back down the mountain, Kenna and his team continue the fight for clean water, lobbying Congress for additional funds to battle water-borne diseases, and urging concerned citizens of the world to educate themselves to the growing crisis. In his own words, Kenna shares his memories and feelings about climbing Kilimanjaro, and about continuing the fight down here on the ground. NOTHING IS GREATER OR LESS THAN US: TOGETHER The Climb Had a Life of Its Own There is a moment when you realize that it isn't you doing it anymore — that something bigger and more powerful than you has interceded and given wings to what you were hoping for and catapulted it into the stratosphere. I have been blessed in my life to have two living, passionate and together parents who have explained that there are no limits to the power of conscious moves to elevate oneself. To find out that I had missed the plot on something as massive as was the problem my father had as a child with water-borne diseases, and to further find out that he had lost his brother to those diseases was insane to me. How could this be? Where was I? And how did I miss such an important thing? After that disappointment settled for me, I began to do research on the global clean-water crisis. It is a crisis. A billion people live without clean water and a child dies every 15 seconds. It is the equivalent to a 747 jet full of children crashing into the ground every two hours of every day, 365 days a year. It is unacceptable. The climb of Kilimanjaro was hard. It was arduous. It was nerve-racking because I worried for my friends. My friends and team went so well beyond themselves to be there for me, and found the issue touching them even more powerfully than when they signed on. All that to say, but Jessica Biel said it best on Larry King [when she said it was one of the best experiences of her life] ... All of that, but it is nothing in comparison to the girl who has to walk six kilometers a day with 80 pounds of water strapped on her back to get it to her family. We are very lucky and should count our blessings. But better yet, we can give water to those in need by learning about the issue and donating as you see fit, to the organization of your choosing. If you are so inclined, I have partnered with the UN Foundation on a text-to-donate number: Just text "SEND" to 90999 and $10 will come out of your account. That will provide 1,000 liters of water to a family in need and a year's worth of water for a child. Conserve, learn, and send water. Find out what you can do to help solve the global water crisis now at the "Summit on the Summit" Web site.

NOTHING IS GREATER OR LESS THAN US: TOGETHER The Climb Had a Life of Its Own There is a moment when you realize that it isn't you doing it anymore — that something bigger and more powerful than you has interceded and given wings to what you were hoping for and catapulted it into the stratosphere. I have been blessed in my life to have two living, passionate and together parents who have explained that there are no limits to the power of conscious moves to elevate oneself. To find out that I had missed the plot on something as massive as was the problem my father had as a child with water-borne diseases, and to further find out that he had lost his brother to those diseases was insane to me. How could this be? Where was I? And how did I miss such an important thing? After that disappointment settled for me, I began to do research on the global clean-water crisis. It is a crisis. A billion people live without clean water and a child dies every 15 seconds. It is the equivalent to a 747 jet full of children crashing into the ground every two hours of every day, 365 days a year. It is unacceptable. The climb of Kilimanjaro was hard. It was arduous. It was nerve-racking because I worried for my friends. My friends and team went so well beyond themselves to be there for me, and found the issue touching them even more powerfully than when they signed on. All that to say, but Jessica Biel said it best on Larry King [when she said it was one of the best experiences of her life] ... All of that, but it is nothing in comparison to the girl who has to walk six kilometers a day with 80 pounds of water strapped on her back to get it to her family. We are very lucky and should count our blessings. But better yet, we can give water to those in need by learning about the issue and donating as you see fit, to the organization of your choosing. If you are so inclined, I have partnered with the UN Foundation on a text-to-donate number: Just text "SEND" to 90999 and $10 will come out of your account. That will provide 1,000 liters of water to a family in need and a year's worth of water for a child. Conserve, learn, and send water. Find out what you can do to help solve the global water crisis now at the "Summit on the Summit" Web site.

Lady Gaga's 'Telephone' Video Director Talks About Unfilmed Scenes
Mar 15th, 2010
'There were fantastic scenes that we just couldn't do,' Jonas Åkerlund laments.By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Lady Gaga in "Telephone" Photo: Interscope In the nearly 10-minute-long video for Lady Gaga's "Telephone," there was a lot to take in. She escaped from prison, with some help from Beyoncé, and then went on one fashionable and feisty killing spree. So could there possibly be anything more that director Jonas Åkerlund had planned for the epic clip? As it turns out, the answer is yes. "On my very ambitious shooting schedule, there was actually a few scenes we never got to," he revealed to MTV News. " ... I'm very time optimistic, and I always try to squeeze in as much as I can." Åkerlund had some big plans that he didn't get the chance to execute. "There were fantastic scenes that we just couldn't do," he said. "We already shot, like, pretty much an eight-day shoot in two days. We could have done a couple more days." What else did the director have in store for Gaga and Beyoncé? "Story-wise, when we were in the edit, I didn't look back and feel like we were missing anything," he said. "I'm kind of cool with what we got, but there was a few things. ... We had a little scene when they got to the diner and they have a little dialogue before they go in. And also after they kill all the people in the diner, we had another scene where they're running to the car taking off. It was just a bunch of scenes that we never got to." Do you think the "Telephone" video could have handled any more action? Let us know!

50 Cent Says His Black Magic Album Has 'A Totally Different Vibe'
Mar 15th, 2010
'I won't allow myself to be placed in a box,' he says about 'uptempo' next project.By Shaheem Reid 50 Cent Photo: Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images 50 Cent is back in music mode. He's been touring overseas with the G-Unit for about a month, and over the weekend, 50 revealed to a Norwegian news outlet that he had been back in the lab making songs for a new LP called Black Magic. Fif said he was inspired by listening to music in Bergen, Norway. "I went to a nightclub afterparty," 50 told reporter Jonas Pettersen. "It's a little different music going on before I got there. They play your music when you come. But the music they played before they started playing a lot of what I created was more uptempo, more dance. I wanted to make a song like that. So I went into the studio. Because I'm traveling with my live band, I took my band with me and sequenced it and recorded the actual record while I was out there. I did two other songs I had production for. I had been writing those songs for a while. So I finished them and recorded them while I was out." Fif said his new album will not sound like his previous work. "New Black Magic project, I'm excited about it," he said. "It has a totally different vibe. I won't allow myself to be placed in a box when I can only do one style or one kind of music. They should expect the unexpected on this project. It's good. If they can understand how I enjoy different genres of music and different styles; for the people who have various tastes in music, they'll really like it." While there isn't a release date for Fif's new work, G-Unit members Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo say they'll drop independently as early as June. "I'm aiming towards summer," Banks recently told Mixtape Daily. "Mid-summer, late summer. I won't drop an album until I feel the buzz — you know, as an artist, when you feel it. I'm working independent. Everything they've heard the past year has come out my basement, including 'Beamer, Benz or Bentley.' When you first come on as a new artist and you hot and you got a buzz, you could sell doo-doo on a stick. The label makes you feel like they did it, when they just called their boy and dropped the record off. "Now it boost my confidence when I know I can make a record in my crib, send it out and receive finances from it," he added. "Whenever it's through iTunes or whatever other outlet you have, I'm happy with it. I'm not gonna rush it, though. If it came out after this year, it wouldn't matter to me, as long as it's the product people expect." "We gonna drop it independently," Yayo told Mixtape Daily. "We not on Interscope anymore. I feel the stuff I went through on a major was nonsense. You make more money on an independent label." Are you excited to hear new music from the G-Unit? Let us know below! Related Artists 50 Cent

Jessica Simpson 'Found An Inner Peace' Filming 'The Price Of Beauty'
Mar 15th, 2010
'I think it's going to be such an incredible show for women of all ages to watch,' she says.By Jocelyn Vena Jessica Simpson Photo: MTV News Jessica Simpson hit the road last year to film her new VH1 show, "The Price of Beauty." At the time, the pop star had been inundated with negative press about her appearance and reported weight gain. And after an eye-opening journey around the world, Simpson said she learned what was truly beautiful about herself. "I think that [the show] is such a great concept and I think it's going to be such an incredible show for women of all ages to watch. You definitely learn a lot about all these different cultures," she told MTV News about her show, premiering Monday (March 15) on VH1, adding that the filming was very personal for her. "The reason why I wanted to go on this journey was to discover that, for myself, what was beautiful inside me and just to listen to these women talk and hear their stories," she explained. "And I had gone through a really hard time in the past year with people, just, they keep harping and me gaining weight, it made me so insecure that I really actually forgot who I was and I wanted to go on this journey to find myself again." Now that she's back in the States, she said she can easily face any criticism or even be able to handle any line of questioning, even if it's about touchy subjects like John Mayer. "I definitely learned that I allow too many judgments of other people to seep in," she said. "Even when you think you kind of got it together and you think you can ignore it, you do still fall asleep with those voices in your head. There's no way to stop that. I think that going on this trip, all these places, I really just found an inner peace. I found something within myself that I didn't know was there."

Jay-Z Performs For Stevie Wonder, Other Stars In Atlantic City

MC enjoys a late dinner with Wonder, Robin Thicke after show, then catches Manny Pacquiao/ Joshua Clottey boxing match.By Shaheem Reid Jay-Z performs in Atlantic City on Saturday Photo: Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa Jay-Z doesn't just bring the stars out onstage — earlier this month at New York's Madison Square Garden, for example, Shaquille O'Neal, LeBron James, Diddy, Rick Ross and Gwyneth Paltrow were among the spectators taking in his BP3 show (and while Lil Wayne appeared onstage during Young Jeezy's opening set, he probably caught some of Jigga's show from backstage). And for Jay's sold-out Saturday night show at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Stevie Wonder, Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps, Fantasia, Adrienne Bailon, Robin Thicke and two of the "Real Housewives of New Jersey," Teresa Giudice and Jacqueline Laurita, were in the audience. The show was a tough one for Memphis Bleek, who always performs with Jay. Bleek's friend and artist G Baby died early Saturday morning after reportedly being shot in New York. Bleek tweeted about G Baby over the weekend, saying, "I'm in a mood I can't explain. I lost a real n---a 2day. R.I.P. to my n---a G Baby who was like a bro to me!! G. Baby ..." Memph stayed strong through the show and helped Jay pull off another successful performance, as they brought the crowd to its feet with classics like "Big Pimpin' " and new hits like "Run This Town." Jay celebrated after the show at the Old Homestead restaurant in the Borgata, where he had a late dinner with Wonder and Thicke, a rep for the venue told MTV News. Jay — being the avid sports fan he is — took in the Manny Pacquiao/ Joshua Clottey boxing match on one of the big-screen TVs. Jay references the pugilist from the Philippines on Blueprint 3's "Thank You," saying "On the tube, I'm just watching Pacquio box 'em up." After the 12-round fight, Thicke went to Borgata's club mur.mur, where Samantha Ronson had spun earlier in the night. Sam's sister Charlotte Ronson, Angelina from "Jersey Shore" and Phelps were among the partygoers. Meanwhile, Jay hit the blackjack tables accompanied by Beyoncé, the venue's rep said.

Lady Gaga's 'Telephone' Video: Will There Be A Sequel?
Mar 15th, 2010
'We're very spontaneous. We'll see,' director Jonas Åkerlund says.By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Jonas Åkerlund Photo: MTV News At the end of Lady Gaga's "Telephone" video, just as they are leaving the scene of a killing spree at a diner, fans see Gaga and Beyoncé drive off into the desert, "Thelma & Louise" style. The video then shows the following graphic: "To Be Continued." So, what plans do Gaga and video director Jonas Åkerlund, planned this clip as a sequel to "Paparazzi," have in store for the third part? Well, not much of anything — for now, at least. "Well, there's no plan," Åkerlund told MTV News. "As I said, we're very spontaneous. We'll see." And while the duo hasn't laid down plans to add another video, Åkerlund also isn't ruling it out entirely. "I mean, it'll be cool, but we just left the door open. So we'll see," he explained. As for the actual words showing up on the screen at the end of the clip, he said that was his idea, not Gaga's. "I put it in post and then nobody said to take it out. So, it stayed in." Åkerlund may have slipped the "To Be Continued" addition in on his own, but he insisted that Gaga is very hands-on. "Gaga's a little different because she has, like, the first [idea], which makes my job easier," the director said. "She always has the first couple [ideas] to tell you. So, based on what she tells me, I write a treatment, she has comments on it. So that's how we go into the ideas. She's boiling. Her brain is amazing. She's filled with ideas."

Alex Lambert Petition Demands His Return To 'American Idol'
Mar 15th, 2010
More than 13,000 fans have signed the online petition.By Gil Kaufman Alex Lambert performs on "American Idol" Photo: Frank Micelotta/ Getty Images Jessica Bongiorno has watched every episode of "American Idol" since the show launched in 2002, but never before has she been so moved to action, so incensed at an elimination as she was when sweet-natured, stage-fright-gripped singer Alex Lambert was unceremoniously dumped Thursday night. "There's no contestant I've seen in all my years of watching this show that has gotten as much backlash for being kicked off before making the top 12 as Alex," said Bongiorno, 29, a graphic designer and photographer from Baltimore who was so angry about Lambert's surprise ouster that she has started an online petition asking that he be brought back. Since posting the petition just moments after Lambert's elimination, Bongiorno said she's gotten 13,147 signatures of support on the way to her goal of 15,000. "The reaction has been insane!" she said. "It's an understatement to say that I'm surprised. I had no idea it would ever be this big. I knew it would get momentum, but I don't know anyone else besides my mother who signed it. It's 3,000 to 4,000 people a day coming out of the woodwork." The petition, addressed to the show's producers, judges and the Fox network, reads: "Avid viewers of 'American Idol' were in complete shock to see Alex Lambert voted off tonight. His voice is most importantly, different, and his simple raw talent was something that many chosen idol contestants ... lack. America ABSOLUTELY voted wrong in this, and many, many loyal viewers have no desire to continue watching 'American Idol' without seeing how far Alex Lambert could have, and should have gone. The signatures on this petition are not expected to be taken lightly, but instead, as a serious cause of action in bringing Alex Lambert back onto American Idol before the season ends." So far, it has gotten signatures from fans who stretch from Costa Rica and Colorado to the Philippines and Florida. "He deserves another chance, because I don't think America has seen what he can do," wrote petitioner Stacy Hopkins of Selkirk, Georgia. Asked the obvious — where were all these fans when Lambert needed them? — Bongiorno sighed. "I know!" she said in resignation and, like a number of those who signed the petition, she believes that flaws in the "Idol" voting system might have played a part . (That charge, which has come up at some point almost every season when a beloved contestant goes home, has been repeatedly denied by "Idol" brass.) As for what she wants the petition to do, Bongiorno said she and her fellow petitioners are hoping for the kind of wild card that made Anoop Desai the 13th finalist last year. "It happened once before when we never expected it, and something else could happen again," she said. Last year also saw the first-ever use of the judges' "save," which helped eventual fifth-place finisher Matt Giraud come back to the competition. A spokesperson for "Idol" declined to comment on the petition drive and said the show has not made any announcement about the judges' save this year, but noted that in season eight, it applied only to the top 12 finishers. "There's no contestant I've seen in all my years of watching this show that has gotten this much backlash for the show for being voted off before making the top 12," Bongiorno said of Lambert. "He's real. He's a 19-year-old kid from Texas from a big family, and he's just shy onstage, like, 'I don't know what I'm doing here,' and that touches people," she said. " 'American Idol' is about finding people who you'd never see otherwise, people who are singing in front of their mirrors at home and now you're putting them onstage in front of millions of people. That's 'American Idol.' " Have you signed the petition? Do you think Alex or any other semifinalists should be brought back? Sound off below!
